Drugs Coming Through in the Mail

I've noticed it, but until they ban alcohol and list that as a drug, then I will carry on delivering

1. They get a postie to deliver it and then when the postie leaves and it's been signed for they grab the person and arrest them.

2. The manager goes out and note leaves the SD. Then the police wait in the office until the person comes in to pick it up. Then once they sign for it on the counter they police ambush them through a side door

So the police come back the next day (as 24 hours before collection) and wait until it’s collected? Don’t they have better things to do with their time?

Must work different in my area. I'm in the highlands and our notice left items can be picked up the same day as long as its after 3pm.

Sounds like a good way to get a postie killed, no chance I'd be doing that.

I think they put a stop on the dummy package and raid tactic about 6 months ago. One of the Angard staff got asked to do it and it went completely wrong. The cops were unprofessional and didnt give the poor guy a chance to even leave the fellas garden. It was like a scene from the bill. Sums up how our angard casuals get treated though. Desperate for money so willing to help the cops and then when it goes wrong you're on your own.

Since then the police have been made to stop that tactic by the local inspector or whatever youd call it

Can anyone point me in the direction of official guidance on the procedures to follow if you suspect an item may contain cannabis ?

With all that’s happening if people want to smoke a bit of weed what harm are they doing, if it’s crack or heron then yes report it but not weed, after all most of us have tried it at least once in there life.
Yes tried it and it did nothing for me, but most posties will not want to fall foul of the offence of aiding and abetting the supply of a prohibited drug by delivering something you know or reasonably suspect to be a controlled prohibited drug.

Come on we are not responsible for what we deliver we have no idea whats in a packet although i did deliver something that looked very much like a shovel today.

Some smell so bad and stink the office out, then stink the van or trolly out.
Im not that bothered what people choose to do but its when you deliver to an address and they open the door and the stink hits you, then you see a toddler running around

A couple of years back in our office the police had the postie deliver it as normal then ambushed the bloke at the door (it was a special). The postie had to go to court as there was a trial. Myself and a lot of others made the decision that day that we'd never get involved if we suspected we were delivering drugs.

When they come back to the callers office we put them in the fridge because the smell is so nauseating.
Apart from confirming there was probably a grinder in the packet as well, the police were totally disinterested.

Do our job and deliver the parcels is what we are told, not our problem what’s in them apparently. There’s a couple of duty’s in the office where it’s obvious someone is upto no good, multiple specials several times a week etc

RM's attitude to substances in packets is woeful. A little bit of weed is one thing. Yeh it smells but it's not going to harm us. If the police are uninterested thats on them but we should inform them every time. There are other drugs that are sent in the mail that if they leak could prove to be very harmful to the postie. Fentanyl being one of them. Iv had packets leaking god knows what and been instructed to just put it in a damage bag. No regard for what it could be. One incident was just after the Skripal poisoning.

This company is a joke company from top to bottom. Inadequate at every turn. Clueless "managers".

I know for a fact when I'm delivering Dildo's. When they complain how late it's being delivered I tell them to go f**k themselves...

I'm afraid that's how things are now. Most astute dealers for all drugs are on the Dark Web with customers using a TOR browser to access their products. You will find that you've delivered quite a lot of cocaine compared to weed but it has no smell and is of far less volume and thus nearly impossible to detect. It's usually sent in seed packets or DVD covers and another trick is a dummy jiffy parcel with one of those sticky plastic 'invoice' or address envelopes whereby it's hidden inside the folded document inside the plastic and can't accidentally be ripped off.
