Not seeing but I have certainly handled a couple this year that had a suspicious odour.
Delivered one, the other was beginning to stink out the callers office so DOM took it to the police station.

I assume there is an official policy on what to do if we have suspicions, anyone know it?

The official policy is don't smoke the seeds and don't bogart the joint.

I would imagine that you should report it to your Lino/DOM or the security helpdesk:

"If you know or suspect that a crime is taking place we want you to tell us about it.

To do so phone the confidential Security Helpdesk on 0207 239 6655 or email:securityhelpdesk@royalmail.com."

We got a package that had burst open at our DO a few years back. It was full of weed, really stinky too. The cops were called in and their first question was "How did you know what it was?" I said "I used to be a student once." He looked at me and said "Good answer."

There's someone on my walk who I'm pretty sure gets his steroids via special delivery every few months. Technically it's only illegal to sell those though, buying is totally legal.

Noticed quite a few people who get packages of weed fairly regularly. There was a great big box of it somewhere in the office the other week, stank the whole place out. Word on the street is someone on my round gets DVD cases full of charlie in the post...
