I used 'Mail Lite Plus' (jiffy style) post pack: 12 grams into which goes 1 Smelly proof bag: 4 grams.

Inside the smelly proof bag goes five bags of weed with two grams in each. giving a further 15 grams (the baggies weigh around a gram each right.)

Total package weight then is a shade over 30g.

Two Euro postage is good for up to 50 grams.

And it was dry as fuck but hey it arrived. Long distance stuff needs so much more care with wrapping.

Pretty much this. A few people favour posting from another location, avoiding an AMS postmark, so whatever suits ya. I've used the big post office on Radhuisstraat twice, got one, lost one (a peach of a selection in the lost one ). Pot luck, so to speak. If you feel you're okay doing it your usual way, why change?
Not that you should be doing it anyway, it's all like illegal an' stuff.

at the idea of trying to mail into Switzerland. You'd have better luck taping it to your forehead and walking through the airport with it.

Don't mess with Swiss customs. They are not fooling around.

Shame though, no way of getting it back then?

There was a period of time when I would have said by train, but actually, some things have convinced me that is a bad idea. You're much better off leaving the Amsterdam goodies there and then just getting Swiss herb once you're here.

The swiss really really don't tolerate rule-breaking, and bringing weed into the country (or anything contraband!) is AGAINST THE RULES.

Having a small quantity of weed on you for personal consumption is not against the rules (most places)... go figure.

I can understand your point, if you are happy with the product at home then why leave yourself open. I think London could be a very different story though, I have found the quality to be so inconsistent and broadly speaking the commercial sellers are a liability. I guess,for me, the mail route offers less (currently zero) exposure.

Even if this were not the case though, I would still mail packages, I like the action, it amuses me.
