I wish there was a place on the other boards to post, so i posted here.
I ordered and rec'd the package today via"REGISTERED LETTER" had to sign for it. not knowing what it was I did. It was the order.... surrounded by green customs tape.... AND all the product IS INSIDE..... WTF???? I am expecting the MIB to come any moment now.
First off I cant beleive it was sent REGISTERD!!!
second off I CAN NOTTTT beleive the product inside is UNtouched at all.
Please gimme some insight into this matter...if i am still around to read it come tommorrow
I ADVISE NO ONE ELSE ORDER FROM THEIR OUTFIT. I beleive that they WANT the packages to get taken from you at customs. I really dont know what to think! They must not want US biz. because sending it in this method increases seizure I'd say 99 fold. Post other experiences with successful orders, amd should I be evpecting a visit from the "boys" pretty soon? I am on a seriously adreniline high right now, I cant quit shaking, and jhust dont know WHAT to think or ecpect

My guess is that they sent it registered because so many are getting seized and they want to figure out if customers are getting orders or are tellin a fib and trying to get a free reship.
I think you will be OK... Take a minute maybe half a lude, well ok maybe half a bar. They could have done a controlled delivery and nabed ya at the PO or your home(not sure where you signed for it), they didnt, so I would rest easy tonight.

Calm down.... i've been ordering stuff over the net for a decade and have not only signed for registered meds but have driven to the post office & went in and signed for meds there, too. It can be nerve-wracking the first time but don't worry.... people sign for meds all the time.

This happened to me with this outfit about a year ago. Probably you ordered their tiny dose codiene or generally that is what people order from there. Mine came in a giant box 2' x 1' nothing in it but a 3" square paper "we got your meds you will get a letter". Two months later got the letter saying you ordered 300 pills saying sort of do you want them or what. Threw it in the trash. A month later I got another follow up letter and threw that one away too. Only customs letter I ever got and it came from San Francisco, CA. Never ordered anything again coming from the Pacific side. Never got another letter either. Always worry though.

Hey Drew take a look at what is going on at Pharma24. What do you think?

Registered mail is about the only way that they can guarantee you recieve their package. The mail system passes it thru individuals who have to sign for the package as if it were their's. If it gets lost the last person who signed for it would most likely LOSE their job. If it gets held up in customs then the sender would know because they could track it. That is why they use it. I know this because my uncle works for the post office. Most everybody who handles a registered package is like playing "hot potato" because they get to pass the responsibality off to the next person clearing them of all responsability. Some people actually send cash registered mail because it is insured. With the fact that someone will lose there job if the package was not delivered with your signature, it is almost guaranteed to be delivered. I suppose this rule must somehow pass on to the customs people as well. I can assure you that a postal employee would not take the fall if it were to be taken by customs.

Thanks all for the responses!! And I definitely took your advice DREW.... took a few deep breaths, AND a couple of generic neon blue V's (from which I just ranted about to OP4L for being too Best if kept off the board weak... the bright blue ones anyway) I honestly think the deep breaths helped more than the V's did!!!! (BUT THATS ANOTHER FIGHT FOR ANOTHER BOARD, sorry just little PO'd)
again thanks all. you know how it is when something "new" and strange happens,
especially after waking up just 15 minutes earlier.
have a great weekend everyone!!!!

I thought that they ship with no signature required. Did you order the Fedex option for the shipping? You would probably have to sign for it. I believe they offer two forms of shipping, regular airmail and fedex (which is considerably more expensive, I think $40!). Maybe you accidentally selected the fedex option or they shipped it that way in error?
Either that or they started shipping registered due to seizures. There are many posts on the boards from the past regarding an extremely high rate of seizures from this company.
In any event, I wouldn't be that concerned. If they wanted to seize the meds, they would have reshipped you empty boxes, as many other members have experienced with their orders. Most likely, they either didn't realize that they were Nurofen +. Nurofen makes a pain reliever with no codeine added as well, so they may have mistaken it for that. Or you may have gotten a nicer customs agent that figured that such a low dose medicine wasn't a big deal.
Did you order a large amount? Maybe they sent it registered because they didn't want to get burned by a big order if you claimed you didn't receive it and did a chargeback?
Don't worry so much! You are going to be fine!

John, forgot to say in above post, I'm not sure if the OP4L are weak, as I've never purchased from them, but you may want to try Joseph from Starlite. His valium is good quality and only $49 for (100) 10mg with free shipping!

The order in question was shipped snail mail, not speedypass. customs opened it up,((MAYBE??? THE GUY JUST PUT GREEN INSPECTED TAPE ON ALL SIDES TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE HE ACTUALLY WAS LOOKING INSIDE, WHEN HE WAS NOT???? WHO KNOWS))) horrible shipping box, lots of rattle, no cushioning/bubblewrap and receipt was inside. maybe too much info? but i wont have anything else to do with them. it was only 3 boxes of N+ but I have never ever in many past 'letters' did i ever get the product sent on anyway. I have heard of this happening to other ppl but I was never that lucky until now. They are a lot cheaper on the N+ , but their packaging is too damnned obvious. AND I really hated that the receipt with credit slip was in there too! screw 'em... I'll move on and keep to the road more travelled. I'm fine now.... it only freaked me out for a couple of hours..because like I said, I have never had anything that got opened up, get sent to me anyway.
Take Care!

John, thanks for the extra clarification. I was curious and it looks like this is just how they ship things now. I'm going to avoid this company too from now on! I know what you mean about the rattle, I got a 2 boxes from them once and they arrived squashed in what looked like a video tape mailer, and they rattled like a snake! So many seizures have been coming from Australia in the past, I guess it is better to pay more and get from a more discreet company. Those prices are cheap, but it isn't worth all the worry and stress for three weeks wondering if you are going to get product or a love letter.
I've just been getting my pain meds from a regular records OP now, but it was always nice to have a couple boxes of N+ to have on hand. I've kind of gotten away from ordering anything from an IOP that is seizable. I've just been ordering nicorette inhalators, prevacid, and antibiotics from overseas now.
