First for me. Just some trapping books but the third package from the same person in about a week.

If someone's sending you contraband make sure they use a different address each time, I guess.

isn't there some kind of law against doing that with out a warrant from a judge? I'm not a lawyer and don't know. may be we could someone with legal experience to chime in.

If the package was sent Media mail, they are allowed to open it to verify contents. If the contents aren't whatnis allowed by Media mail rules, the package proceeds with postage due!

This ^^^^^. Media rate is much lower than say USPS Retail Ground, so if they don't believe its a book, record, cd, dvd- all without ANY advertising, they can open those packages for inspection.

P.S. If you're using their service, even though you paid for it, I think they can open any package and inspect, especially if they have suspicion that there is contraband or you're using their service wrongly. If they do need a "search warrant", they probably have certain district judges on speed-dial and it gets issued. I don't think getting a warrant, if needed, is any problem for them...

I could only imagine what they would think if they opened a package containing coyote urine or skunk essence!

Ive heard of it....but never had it happen...Yet

You would get on their naughty list notice. You have a skunk "bomb" go off in their facility, and you'll probably never ship with them again. If you lied on your disclosure, such was it "liquid" or ""hazardous"", you may be fined for the cost of their clean up.

lol B2 sent me one of his benders years ago and the post office opened the box saying they wanted to check and make sure it was not "dangerous stuff" being mailed.

Had them hold a box with a bag of untanned coyote tails some idiot thought was drugs 30 days later they got a hold of me they would not refund the $20 and postage just a big runaround, free insurance my butt!

The package was probably sent via Media mail which is a rate that only applies to media materials. It is a lower shipping rate. If the package would have contained anything non-media related the sender would have been called to get his package and correct it. Media mail can be opened and inspected for content so don't send illegal stuff via Media mail....lol

Guess they xray packages too,
