So have I - last trip in fact... Nice touch that yellow leban was... and some other unnamed hasj - and about two strains of weed which were unnamed also - but smoked nicely.
Yeah - I think it should be a given that "Leftovers get given to fellow tokers" - we all know how expensive it is there - it'll AmsterDamage your pocket pretty bad... So spread the love... spread the love... free weed to those fortunate enough to be on the recieving end lol
Two or three Jiffy envelopes, some €5 porn dvd's from a shops and stand on the bags to flatten them right out. Dics on the outside of the box, weed inside.
Smaller amounts spread across a few envelopes gives you a better chance of getting some if not all of them back.
Last few trips sent back two packages, only got one the last time but both the previous two times I did it.
Tips:
Print your labels before you go. Don't handwrite anything.
Put the envelopes in different post boxes. The envelopes WILL go through a scanner at the airport. If your packages are spread around it gives you a better chance of getting them through.
Don't send them recorded delivery, just land mail. High volume mail means the packages go through in amongst large numbers and are less likely to be detected. The cost of an A5 envelope to the UK is €1.50.
Most important is who you send it to. I've got a mate who has moved into a new place and still recieves mail for the last tennants. I address it to the previous tennant. As long as they cannot prove the recipient of the mail was in Holland at the time of posting they will have complete denyability (sic).
Remember, once it is in the post it is no longer your property it belongs to the post office. They will not send the Drug Squad to your house for a gramm of weed.
I have heard of people receiving letters saying that their package has been stopped, you can throw this in the trash.
If you post it pay the little bit extra to send it Priority, this speeds the process up and imo the faster it goes through the less chance of it being stopped.
I work around Heathrow airport. trust me when I say its a complete gamble.
Every single package that comes in via mail gets put through an x-ray machine for security purposes so there is a chance it will be handed to the police if its seen.
As I've said there are things you can do so you won't get collared but it is a complete lottery.
I've sent loads over the years and the only ones I've personally had stopped were the ones where I've sent over 10 grams, I still have a couple of letters I receieved from HM C&E a couple of years back.
I sent 5 packages back this year, 5 different ways and all 5 got to me. Also, we stay at the Victoria which has a few bars in there. We usually end our night having a drink at the bar and become friends with the bartenders. They are the ones who get our left overs and are very grateful.
Well after advice from this site i sent myself a package last trip (june-july09) weed in smell proof bag etc and it arrived ! i sent two packages from holland last week , one from Eindhoven arrived on mon !but with no weed inside it had been opened (i had wrapped the dvd case in brown paper) the jiffy bag was in one of the plastic bags you get if your mail has been damaged , the jiffy ripped open no brown paper no weed but cd !!?? so im not sure if its been some thievin bastard postie or official ? fingers crossed on my Dam package due 2moro i hope
recieved 14 out of 15 over my last 3 trips when posting home and usually 5 each trip around the 10g mark in a tin in 3 smelly bags and a jiffy and gloves of course. good percentage but still gutted when one doesnt come
I did the weed in a cd in a jiffy bag trick one year with 4 of my friends. We all had preprinted labels and NOBODY got any weed or envelope. We all got the HM Customs letter and strangely enough the amount quoted on the letter was DOUBLE what each of us had sent. This was probably to hot targets or something.
Anyway, back on topic- I smoke it all up before leaving and buy some last minute hash brownies to ensure a snoozy flight.

thats probably cos them planks dont take it out of the bags before weighing it, each back weighs over a gram
I bet the trash can just outside AMS terminal is a treasure trove of pipes, grams and half joints. I always leave behind the trip pipe and a little left over nugs in that bin after having the last smoke before departure. And once I had 2 pre-rolled left over and gave them to some panhandlers on the way to Centraal.
