A warm hello to anyone reading. I couldn't find anything about this so I've decided to write it here.
I was careless enough to order SN from overseas and have it shipped here to New Zealand (customs is very strict here). It got stuck in customs for around 5 days, at which point I got a welfare check. I wasn't brave enough to lie to a police officer so I admitted that I planned on using it to CTB (lying wouldn't have helped anyway). It's been about four weeks since all of that and I had bought something from china (something very harmless). It was in customs clearance for 7 days (very unusual) and when I received it I got a card letting me know that customs had opened it and found nothing (even more unusual and has never happened to me before). With an extended history of suicide and this recent event I think my address might be burned.
I plan on ordering some other chemicals from overseas to hopefully CTB with (I cannot find anything domestically or from Australia). Is there any way that I can increase my odds of getting something through customs?
I'm thinking of writing a false address and then redirecting it to a pickup location (PO boxes here don't accept private couriers), I don't think I'd be able to use a false name though because I'd need to show ID to collect it. I'm not sure whether my name or my address (or both) are on some kind of watchlist. Would this work? Maybe I should try ordering harmless things to test and prod what ways I can weasel a package into the country.
If anyone knows anything about New Zealand or Australian customs (or even customs in general) I would greatly appreciate any help, as I'm not very knowledgeable. Thank you.
