Over two visits I have posted four DVD cases, using the smelly proof method, with about 10 grams in each one.

It's worked every single time. I've prepared everything beforehand, even printed labels with my name (spelt one letter wrong) and attached to the jiffy bag before leaving.

Then, when I was there, just put the gear from the day before in the smelly proof bag, taped it all up, shoved it in the DVD case, taped all that up then oof to the post office. About €3 each time.

Is the priority mail much quicker? Do you have to sign for it?

Seems like alot of ppl getting 100% success with the post method. To be honest I've had only 50% success with only 1 out of 2 packages arriving, though I am a little sceptical as I posted to a mates house!

What I wonder is why so many have voted for forget about it too risky?!Come on guys!Your not gonna get life imprisonment smuggling a bit of personal usage weed!!

I think that all depends on where the person who voted lives, the penalty in the US is a lot harsher than it is here (UK).

smelly bag dvd method gets the thumbs up from me, extra care must be taken tho. wash hands before wrapping it, post office outside the dam and printed labels are a must. and i never do more than 10g in a packet and never 2 on the same day.

i'm 4 from 4 with this method, so i'll call that 4-0 to me. :D

That's just crazy, I get those bags cheaper off my local market stall, and they are genuine smelly proof's too...

That's a medium on the left and a small on the right.

Small 20p
Medium 40p

Hope there hasn't been a recent price change :shock:

Just another spin on this for the people who like to carry with themselves.

Get a Joint holder

Fill it with soft hash - standard size j holders hold about 15g - large ones 20g

Superglue cap of j holde on.

Superglue j holder (exterior) and put into empty bottle of shampoo. Wait til set at bottom of bottle (glued to floor of bottle). Refill bottle to the top with shampoo.

Great thing is when ya home its like peeling a hash nut. ( You'll know what i mean.)

hi, great info everyone. im going to the dam on 20th and im wantin to send a couple of grams back and im probably goin gto do the smelly proof bags inside dvd case methods. just wonderin about the method of acutal postage, do u jus post the jiffy bag into the postbox with a few stamps or do you have to go into the post office n send it as an international package? thanks

Do ppl usually send weed or hash with this method? Does it make a difference in terms of chance of being detected?

I seem to recall someone saying if your going to do this, not to mail from from amsterdam? Is this necisary since I hadnt planned leaving the dam once im there until I absolutely have to. Who here who uses this method mails from inside amsterdam and who doesn't, im just looking to see the ratio of sucess in or outside of amsterdam.
