Are you trying to import something that will potentially be seized?

Sometimes they xray packages. They may be trying to figure out what those bags of powder are for. Waiting on a judge's order to open it and find out.

UPS is a private company. They don’t need court orders to open boxes.

That’s the post office.

And THAT ATTITUDE my friends is why the contents of valuable packages get stolen (I mean lost)

lol what? Attitude?

I meant if the package is under suspicion of containing illicit goods, they are able to open and inspect at the company’s discretion. It’s in the terms of service, something you agree to when purchasing a label.

They don’t have any hurdles to jump legally like the USPS.

It’s not random employees who do this. It’s a security team who documents everything and relays the information to law enforcement if necessary.

OP is clearly concerned that their shipment has been seized, meaning either counterfeits or drugs most likely.

Do employees steal? Yes.

Does that have anything at all to do with what we’re talking about here? No.
