I had to file several forms and go the legal route to be reimbursed. Since it was a custom order , they were out several thousand of dollars and my lawyers fees. Took nearly two years to be resolved. Never had a problem since; I always put that case file # on all of my I end that I have shipped now. Small reminder to leave my stuff intact!

    The fact that we get free documentaries on KZread by National Geographic is truly a gift. 👏👏👏 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization are all evil things done by evildoers. 😔

    wrapped bricks look like cakes so not really. every festival goer in America is hiding drugs in the food theyre bring in for raves. its pretty common, you have to be dumb or not creative to think that. entire food/produce companies are made to receive bulk orders of things like limes or avocados with small amounts of cocaine or h packaged in small amounts. dock workers and others paid off along the way too.

    They ruined a perfectly good carrot cake just to ship some coke? If this were in Australia, they would be more concerned that the cream cheese frosting "could threaten Australia's $5,000 cream cheese industry." I always thought they should replace the drugs with sugar (or rat poison) and send it along to the recipient. Then let the drug dealers fight it out between them.

    I agree. They are on a mission! Every hit helps. We are losing too many to drugs. I imagine getting people to try is a win win because usually they now have a customer! BUT the journey of being addicted leads to hardship, loss of everything including family, possibly homelessness, sickness, doing deplorable things to feed addiction, sickness, death. So bottom line some people are getting very rich thru the suffering of others. As we know, life can be so hard. Drugs can help for a minute but life becomes so much harder than it was. I applaud those trying to prevent that horrible cycle. 💗

    I think the life lesson of not doing something that is highly suspicious or illegal when you can be confronted about it eventually rings more true than that statement.

    When they got that coke inside that metal piece, he said "the important thing it's that it's not getting on the streets". Well, he couldn't be more wrong. There will be always be other people ready to sell on those same streets. You're fighting a war you can never win, just give it up, and start using all those millions that you spend with all those customs in another way that would actually benefit the people.

    Exactly. Coke and much worse is available just about everywhere you look, if you're really wanting it. The "War on Drugs" is actually a war on the American tax payers.

    Oh, we should leave more drugs on the street so more people can die? Are you nuts? Saving at least one person from an overdose death is worth it. Taking any drugs off the street hurts drug dealers even if it's a little bit.
