When your order of anabolic steroids arrives, there are several considerations and steps you should take to ensure safety, especially if you are receiving these substances under jurisdictions where their possession without a prescription is illegal.


Handling the Package Initially

-Examine Before Opening: Upon arrival of your package, especially if it’s from an international source, inspect the packaging for any signs of tampering or external damage that could indicate inspection or tampering during transit.

-Delayed Opening: It’s advisable to write “return to sender” on the pack and keep the package unopened near your front door for a couple of days. This caution is due to the rare but possible inclusion of a tracking device or other monitoring mechanism intended to send an alert to the agents that placed it there when the recipient opens the package in order to break down the door for an arrest. Keeping the unopened pack by the door for a couple of days with the words “Return to Sender.” can help your case in the event that the authorities bust down your door before you open it.


Legal Considerations and Customs Seizure

-Customs Notification: As explained earlier, if customs have intercepted your package, you will most likely receive a letter notifying you of the seizure and not law enforcement at your door, especially if the quantities are small and intended for personal use. These letters typically outline what was seized and the legal justifications for the seizure; the letter will also ask you to fill out some form or contact them to claim your package. Don’t do that. Don’t do anything that will have you claiming ownership of the seized package.

-Law Enforcement Interaction: For small amounts intended for personal use, it is highly unlikely that law enforcement will show up at your door. Law enforcement resources are usually directed towards larger distribution networks rather than individual users. In some cases, the postal inspector may show up at your door to discuss the package, but again, this is very rare in cases where they catch a small amount. Just say it is a mistaken address, and you know nothing.
