I bought a layout from a comrade. Well, they sent it by mail, everything is as usual. Delivered on time. I come to the post office with a piece of paper, give it to me, and they deliver the package to me. Exactly as in the photo. With a straight face. Full mail people, let's push the item back, but you can't take away the first impression

WereVolk 10-06-2011 22:26

Well knowledgeable person will understand, but some granny won’t even realize what kind of piece of iron is sticking out.

Is the layout itself intact?)

Arthas 10-06-2011 23:53

Yeah cool.

So, in principle, you can send a machine gun if you wish.

Although last fall I watched the film “The American” with George Clooney.
He doesn't care international mail They sent the RUGER automatic carbine in disassembled form. True, they sent it in a camouflaged form, the barrel in a tube and all that, but still.

Not a machine gun, but a mock-up.

A criminal case was opened against one comrade.

And how did it end?

What kind of drugs are you wondering?)

Journalist 05-07-2011 17:39

well, dogs sniff out international correspondence at the post office... I don’t know how things are inside the country

Today I went to my post office to receive another package from our Chinese friends, and while I was waiting for the line of old ladies in front of the window to pass, I decided to spend my time usefully, namely, to study the numerous regulatory documents Russian mail, which were hung in abundance on the walls. The time spent was not in vain, for I discovered a most interesting document called "List of items prohibited for shipment". The very first lines of this “masterpiece” almost plunged me into Homeric laughter, such nonsense was written there. So, I bring to your attention: Items and substances prohibited for import and export on the territory of the Russian Federation and the Customs Union

There is a ban on shipping to international postal items all types and categories of the following investments on the territory of the Customs Union of the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation:

- Items of an obscene or immoral nature.

Apparently this is to protect the interests of domestic sex shops. There is no point in sending cheap Chinese dildos and other things by mail, use ours, dear ones, in Russian size, so to speak. Apparently porn also ends up here, it’s good that with the advent of the Internet, people download it directly. Well, then, morality is a subtle concept, for a nun even a condom would be immoral.

- Counterfeit and pirated items.

This actually killed me, counterfeit is okay, but the phrase itself - “Pirate items” - what is it? Cutlass, cannonballs, tricorn hats? In short, I’m at a loss) Yes, and with counterfeit goods, not everything is smooth, whether the item is counterfeit or not, this still needs to be proven. Here they sent me Schonheiser headphones. Same as from the store but 5 times cheaper. Is this a counterfeit or not? From the point of view of the authorities, it is a counterfeit, since I did not pay the entire chain of intermediaries and bureaucrats, as well as the gentleman Mikhalkov, who profit from citizens by extorting prices and import duties.

- Items that, by their nature or packaging, may pose a danger to postal workers or the general public, stain or damage other items, postal equipment or the property of a third party.

Well, everything is clear here, but the joke on this point will be lower.

- Documents that are in the nature of current and personal correspondence, as well as all kinds of correspondence exchanged between persons other than the sender and recipient, or persons living with them.

When I was little, I wrote letters to relatives under dictation from my grandmother, to practice the Russian language, and so as not to strain my grandmother. But it turns out it was impossible, so that’s it.

- Banknotes of the Russian Federation and foreign currency.

Well, it’s clear here - the fight against the withdrawal of capital abroad. And by the way, those who ordered Zimbabwean or whatever billions in one piece of money, keep this in mind.

- Any type of weapon, its main parts, cartridges for it and their parts, products structurally similar to civilian and service weapons.

- Explosives, flammable substances, explosive devices, blasting means.

Chinese butane lighters break off

- Live animals, with the exception of bees, leeches, silkworms, which are sent with a veterinary certificate.

And here is the promised joke about the dangers of postal workers. If the bees accidentally get free in post office, angry, since they probably will like sitting in a box, hungry, then the employees of the department will have a hard time) But look, some driver Vasya decides to make fun of the parcels in his van, you never know who might be waiting for an iPhone, opens another box, and then bees! And it will be useless for him to sing the Winnie the Pooh song “I am a cloud, a cloud, a cloud,” feet in hands and run. Although, if a family of leeches or silkworms gets out, it won’t seem too small either. Moreover, you can arrange a planned provocation - you send a family of bees to a friend in another city, and write an iPhone or laptop on the parcel, and of course, do not feed the bees before sending. Greedy Uncle Vasya starts to steal your laptop, gets caught by the bees, and as they say, and then Uncle Vasya realized that he no longer wanted to steal packages.

- Conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic organisms.
Like don't send germs!

- Goods subject to rapid deterioration.

Well, everything is clear here, no one likes the stink.

- Alcohol products and ethyl alcohol, beer.

Again, gentlemen, you don’t need to drink cheap French and Spanish wine, drink our water.

- Any types of tobacco products and smoking mixtures.

Same as with wine - smoke what they give you

- Plants in any form and condition, plant seeds.

What harm did the plants do to them?

- Precious stones in any form and condition and natural diamonds, with the exception of jewelry.

I don’t think there is a person who would risk sending jewelry or stones by Russian post.

- Narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors.

Drugs are bad

- Ozone depleting substances.

That's right, the ozone layer must be protected, it is already thin

- Hazardous waste.

It’s not entirely clear what this is all about

- Toxic substances that are not precursors to narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.

Something about drugs again

- Equipment for extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources:

1. Ready-made knotted fishing nets made of synthetic or other polyamide monofilaments with a thread diameter of less than 0.5 mm and a mesh size of less than 100 mm (the size of the constructive mesh pitch is less than 50 mm).

2. Electrofishing systems and devices consisting of electrical generators signals, with connected conductors and an accumulator (batteries), jointly performing the function of extracting (catching) aquatic biological resources through electric current.

Nature protection type

Printed and audiovisual materials:

Main camp will not work, although all this has been on the internet for a long time

2. pornographic in nature;

Everything has been online for a long time

3. manufactured or distributed in violation of the requirements of the legislation of the countries of the customs union of the Eurasian Economic Community on elections and referendums;

4. aimed at promoting Nazi paraphernalia or symbols or paraphernalia or symbols that are confusingly similar to Nazi paraphernalia or symbols;

In short, don’t let the truth out!

In addition, the following attachments (sent to individuals or sent to individuals for needs not related to business activities):

Special technical means designed to secretly obtain information.

And the Chinese sell their watches with cameras and don’t know)

- Human organs and (or) tissues, blood and its components.
Well this is actually a joke

- Radioactive materials.

Cultural values.

Waste and scrap of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Raw precious metals, scrap and waste precious metals, ores and concentrates of precious metals and commodities containing precious metals.

Mineral raw materials (natural unprocessed stones).

- Information about the subsoil.

All information about the subsoil has long been on the Internet, there is no need to send anything

The following items are classified as conditionally accepted for shipment in international mail and require appropriate permission from the state control body:

How is this conditionally? If you really want it, is it possible?

- Encryption (cryptographic) tools and devices that have encryption (cryptography) functions.

High frequency devices.
Chinese gadgets
