"Illegal" Parcels

Post by goldendragon »

A friend has just asked me about this and it's something I've never heard of. Wondering if anyone else has.

He bought a photography light set off ebay a few weeks ago and has been having problems getting it, suddenly today the seller has told him he had to go and pick it up from one of our offices because they were returning it to him because they thought it was for growing cannabis. He wants to know if the guys making excuses again. I've said I think he is because as far as I know if we do find something like that we don't return it it gets passed on to the police but does anyone on here know for sure?

It would be a criminal offence to intercept a packet containing growing lights and refuse to deliver it. The only thing relating to cannabis that is illegal is the drug itself. Everything else from Rizzla papers to cannabis seeds to grow lights to bong pipes are 100% legal. Or so I've been told. ;) lol
