I just had a weird experience, last week there was a knock at the door i went to open it, but no one was there.

A pile of boxes?

I wondered why something would be delivered UPS saturday morning.

There was no one around it wasn't long till I was at the door, but no ones there and no delivery truck driving away. These weren't like small little boxes either, but like 90 lbs. of em.

After I got them in I noticed they had probably been opened as there was a new cover on one of the boxes and the others looked redone also.

The labels were ripped off there was a orange red sticker on one of the boxes, and different shipping labels put on?

How Paranoid Should I Be?:confused:

It was an order from DH

Be Advised not to order from them!

there is nothing growing where it was delivered to

I also had it shipped to a different name, my real name was on the new labels they put on?

They were probably just searching the box for contents of something else. I wouldn't be worried about it as people do use carbon filters and fans for growing legal things. :p

i dont know man.... just be careful....

In any situation.... if someone opened your boxes and saw what was inside, thats 1 too many people that now know what your planning on doing... whoever it may be

and now YOUR name is the name it was delivered to.... sounds like someone is setting up their case to me...

desertfox
11-04-2006, 07:25 PM
ya they seemed more interested in the carbon filter than anything i assume it was the black powder, but they ripped it open and let some of the carbon out also........but why would it get delivered early AM sat.?

exactly what i thought

desertfox

I had never heard of anything like that before though...............

Nochowderforyou
11-04-2006, 07:28 PM
Yeah, they probably were just being cautious with what was inside the box. They probably scanned the contents of the box, were unsure, so they checked. Like I said, I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Delivery companies work on Sat. as well. It could be overtime for all you know and they coould have been out early this morning to get work done earlier.

Right now is the start of the busy season, so they were porbably just doing a bit of early morning overtime.

I ran the fan also it sounded really loud like if i ever tried using it everyone in the neighborhood could hear it. even with speed control

Could someone make it louder?

phone the delivery company ffs instead of asking questions on here. get some real answers from the people that are responsible.

Man, you are crazy paranoid. :p

No one could get a search warrant for your house with just that as evidence. But still id cool it for a bit dont want to spike your energy bill suddenly after this or anything like that. The main issue was probably just the fake name

Nochowderforyou
11-04-2006, 08:53 PM
Yeah, you use a fake name and you have guilty written all over you.

Call up and ask "wtf why were my boxes tampered with"

My friend once ordered something (nothing to do with illegal activity) and said it was open, so maybe someone was just being an asshole wanting to see wtf you got. I don't know how to explain the name thing though. I'd watch out for a lil, maybe hold off on the grow for a month or two.

if someone searched the boxes.... then they were obviously looking for something, BUT if you don't hae anything growing at the address it was shipped to, what could there really be to worry about? i doubt they're going to send some undercover to follow you around and see where you take the shit.... so i'd say you're safe for the timebeing... i'm just wondering why they would search the boxes... if it was just the delivery company, that's against the law, atleast in the states, tampering with mail is a federal offense....

it's safe to say, you're already more than paranoid enough ... :D

if the old labels still on the box is the address right?
would suspect that ups delivered it to the wrong address or the address was wrong on the label which is where the box was opened.
have used dh alot and never had a problem but have had ups screw up more than once you could probably call dh and get the original tracking number and find out where it was delivered to and when just wouldnt be making a big deal about it when its probably not anything to be concerned about.

well they cant bust you for buying a fan and carbon filter both are legal items but like everyone else said id refrain from going for awhile

Yeah, you use a fake name and you have guilty written all over you.

not really..they probably just searched them for some reason and put a new address label on it which just automatically has the Home Owner's name on there to show it was them that did it and not someone that wouldn't be authorized to do it. Having a different name than the home owner means nothing cause you could just be room mates or something


unless you were being sarcastic :stoned:

well I don't know what was on the first shipping labels, it was cut out with only the edges left with a orange red sticker I assume to mean it to be searched, but the government can tell UPS to search it and its legal. That was the box that had a thin cardboard layer to cover up the damage to the box. The others looked like they were totally new boxes, no the ones DH used.

I emailed DH asking what the name was on it, but as the cops think they already presume your guilty and when they do ShTtt like that there arrogant and think no one will do anything about it..........they knew damn well where the package was coming from! They weren't looking for something else they wanted to know what i was ordering and wanted my real name on it. They fucked with everything. I just wish i saw who delivered it, usually i can always see the delivery truck at least leave, I didnt even hear one?

To the feds on here reading this I am never gonna grow my stinky tomatoes now.......gzzzzzzz

Your package got red-taped. That's all. I had an overseas package red-taped and the contents are more incriminating than growing accessories. With a letter accompanied they confiscated the contents and disposed of it.

Safer to be paranoid, but nothing going to happen to you. Just delay your grow if you want to be cautious.

desertfox
11-05-2006, 02:29 PM
thanks...............I had heard of that before, but I thought that was only for overseas packages or letters.

This was in country!

Bongman can i ask if one of it was a bong?

I was thinkin of gettin one from overseas, the jet something they look awsome probably smoke even better, I dont want to kno what you had unless you dont mind postin it Iam just interested in the bong part!

thcbongman
11-05-2006, 02:37 PM
It's the stuff you put in the bong ;)

Ya that's the risk and a little harder to find legits these days and more risky to do it in the first place these days, a lot more secrecy involved. It was easier when everything was more like the wild wild west. Now they got message boards like this on lockdown, with good reason, it was incriminating how a lot of legits were discussed openly and even those that claimed they're unbustable shut their doors. I won't do MOM anymore, too much stress to deal with a transaction that should be simple, even tho the shit is top-notch.

desertfox
11-05-2006, 03:18 PM
How incriminating are these message boards?

desertfox
11-05-2006, 03:19 PM
Iam sure its like a cops wet dream?

Cuz kids or ppl try to learn and end up askin so many questions?

Do cops bust places based off what ppl say on boards like these? Do you kno? Jus curious?

thcbongman
11-05-2006, 03:25 PM
Only as incriminating as what you put out there. You never know who's watching, but they're not going to waste so much money going after marijuana smokers unless you stick out like a sore thumb.

Good for you!

Cops cant be bothered busting small time growers. It's a waste of time and tax payers money, but then again, wasting money is what the government and police forces do best.

sometimes packages get damaged and the label becomes unreadable,so UPS has to relabel them... If your name and address is in their system that could be why the name is dif...

What was the shipping confirmation #??? go to UPS site and look at the points along the journey and when it was scheduled for delivery if it was Fri or Thurs then that cud explain SAT...

Overseas packages that are confiscated get a green tape,not red,if they are just looked at they will have a little punch hole in it and no tape...

Hey Lip I see you got your old avatar,I recognize you instantly with it,,,pretty reminiscent...

Skink
11-05-2006, 04:08 PM
you may see something like this when you look up the confirmation #,,,I did a google search for "UPS Red Taded" and found it...

“A CORRECT COMPANY OR RECEIVER NAME IS NEEDED FOR DELIVERY. UPS IS ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION;THE ADDRESS HAS BEEN CORRECTED. THE DELIVERY HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED.”
