I'm remaining perfectly calm while I make fun of you. :whistle:

But seriously, if you're now this worried about being caught, perhaps you should begin engineering a plan B for packages and a contingency plan if the contents is listed.

Just saying.

Well, Thanks for trying to help (everyone that did :whistle:) But I already told her another package with a solar powered car is coming so she "knows" what it is if it comes.

So pretty much we will have to sign for the next package? And if so does the package says the contents like the one I got today did? I think the only reason it said the contents was because it was check by customs right?

DX has to put some sort of description on the import form. What they will put for a couple of pipes, is beyond my experience.

Oh the tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive

Peace,

Yes. That form is filled out by DX (NOT US Customs). It is DX "declaring" what is in the package.

Peace,

Whenever they have broken up shipment to me, I have had to sign for each partial shipment. I have started making multiple, single-item, orders to avoid this. The shipping is the same for me ($0.00) so I avoid missing a shipment and going down to the post office

Peace,

Yup, I always have to sign if I'm at home (which is hardly ever) or I have to stop at the post office (which is open 8-4:30 and I work 8-4 which is 30 mins drive away from my home post office :p )

..OK. My cousin bought pipes and had them shipped to my house. They said Tobacco Pipes on them and YES, you will have to sign for them. And if anyone asks, spice is legal, although much more dangerous than it's illegal counterpart. One of my co-workers went into cardiac arrest after smoking spice.

Why on earth by a pipe from DX??? God only knows what metals etc
you will be heating and inhaling..

If your going to destroy brain cells, keep it to a minimum and
buy something that doesnt contain lead or worse :na:

As for the signing for packages, in 4 years only one came
that didnt require a sig..

Im sure they will add the word tobacco somewhere on the
label.

Could always spin it as a 'cooling reservoir' for lasers :whistle:

Assuming its a water pipe that is..

Lol Probably Aluminum. Get those alzheimer's!!!! Burn your lips before you get your bowl lit.... Of Tobacco that is. Dude. Get Someone from your school, one of the seniors to buy you a steel one from a smoke shop for like 5$ or something plus the pipe cost. Or get a Pirex spoon pipe.....For tobacco of course, then you aren't fucking with metals.

Smoke smart!!!... Oxymoron???

Tobacco, that is.

The reason you have to sign is to prove you received the package.

Just go to a local flea market. They always have a guy selling pipes, knives, ect.
