I've noticed a lot of people having problems with seizures. Maybe if we compile a list of where they occured, we can discern a pattern. Either way it's interesting stuff.
I've had no seizures (out of 2 orders) and live in the NE US.
I apologize for the first pole. I think I made it wrong and no one could vote. Hopefully I got it right this time.
I'am sorry for the question, but I want to make sure I get this right, as I've had it happen twice!! Do you mean the Place we ordered From, The Place it was seized AT (airport, etc.) or where We Live??? Thanks, and I think the Poll is a Great Idea!!! Have a Great Day, EveryOne!!
He means: If you have ever had a package seized, please let us know what part of the country you live in.
A lot of people have probably mistakenly voted for "another country." The very definition of IOP automatically implies that you are ordering from another country.

It would be helpful to include those who had orders received with no seizures, that way we might have an idea of how much is getting through. I am guessing it is the vast majority and that seizures are only a small percentage. I could be wrong though.

Where you live doesn't necessairly have anything to do with the seizure location. Before I found OP4L ordered from a place in the Dominican Republic a couple of times - 2 orders seized at Port of Miami and I am in NYC. Orders are seized re what ports they enter which aren't necessairly YOUR port of entry!

The problem with this poll is it assumes the same amount of people order from the differant areas of the U.S. ,or at least that would have to be the case for the poll to be accurate as to ratio of orders placed to orders confiscated. What I would be more interested in is how many orders those who have had confiscations had placed, B/4 having one confiscated ? Many dont want to mention what part of the country they live in and I kind of dont blame them !!
oops, I didn't read the following statements until after I voted, I assumed it meant ordered from another country, I'm not sure how helpful this is, but whatever. (I haven't had anything siezed that was ordered domestically.)- J

Australia: 1 seizure a couple of years ago. Package confiscated, registered letter from customs informing me of the laws Id broken & a form to fill out if I believed I had legimate claim on the meds (script). Since then several packages opened then let through complete. A couple of months ago a very 'discrete' package opened, meds removed. Letter inserted from customs telling me the laws Id broken & threatening that any further breaches by me will be treated seriously & would lead to prosecution. Ive ordered nothing since then. The risk is too great - you cant ignore that kind of warning unless you're stupid. Now I go without my pain meds & its killing me.
I feel your pain ! Its just a shame that adults in a "free society" have to resort to this kind of risk to recieve the kind of relief they belive they need ! We work very hard for our $ and it causes use pains in all parts of our system ,then we have to take a large part of that hard earned money for medicial exepenses because of the very work we do .Then to put the cherry on top of this whole fiasco ,the Doctors are either to jadded to care,or afraid of getting in trouble for doing their job. Behind all of this is the companies that produce these drugs making $ hand over fist ! I guess no one ever promised us life would be fair, and if they did ,it would have been a broken promise foresure ! Best Wishes NFR
1 siezure for me. Siezed thru NY port. Several other orders arrived just fine. I do believe though that certain countries are scrutinized more closely. My 1 order siezed was coming in from Pakistan.
I sent two e-mails to 2 different IOP's that are highly regarded here about ordering,prices etc and not one reply.Am I to assume the worst or will tommorow be a better day for replys.I'm just trying to get a reply about ordering not about a seizure!No luck today will try some others later on.Son of a bee

maybe we can help if you tell us the names of the IOP's. i'm having the same problem at pharmacy-wholesalers. you?
Does anyone know if the Miami entry port is still under tighter security? What about IOP packs going to Hawaii..do they go through CA and is it faster/safer?
I live 10 miles from TJ border.. so-cal, had one letter out of lots and lots of orders. JFK got mine, but shipper resent with no problum. I believe its just a roll of the dice.... they dont sort thru millions of tons of mail.... looking for "your name".
I have watched as mail comes into LAX.... it would overwhelm you to see all the letters-boxes etc....
Hmm, NE US, and now 1 missing package, but have received 1 from the same pharmacy that was ordered a week after the "missing" package... Does anyone know what happens to missing packages?? Stolen by post office, never sent, being collected by DEA for evidence? Any ideas?
Well it all depends on who gets it. Its when you dont get a lover letter is when you need to worry. becuase more than likely the local athorities snagged it at the local branch and are keeping it as evidence for the indictment. i had 6 packs that went missing and all was used aginst me in grand jury to obtain a conviction. can go into detail but i know tons on this matter so if any legal questions just ask. If you get a LL then most of the time theres no need to worry, customs sees this [censored] everyday and has tons going on at once and way more important [censored] happening then to come try an track your [censored] down 9 states over.

Easy to grab, harder to write the "love letter". I've heard numerous accounts of love letters arriving 6 months to a year after the seizure. Some POE's seem to generate backlogs when it comes to properly vouchering the contents for sending the love letter.
Also, some items cannot be identified by sight and are sent to the FDA for testing. Sometimes they are randomly sent for testing to get a pulse on the composition of the meds coming in. That will delay the love letter considerably.
Quite possible one was "lucky", the other not so lucky since mostly they can just 'spot check'.
The POE it hits can vary and not just by the geographic location of the sender or the recipient. If one happened to hit Miami, it's near doomed since they have the most sophisticated scanner.
And indeed, some just disappear into the ether.. Others inexplicably turn up over a month after the normal timeframe for that IOP.
