@Archivist @tshirtman @blaurascon I once ordered #PiHKAL an #TiHKAL as a bundle. For at least a year after that purchase all my packages came opened. #HazmatInformation

@kmmich @Archivist @blaurascon i try not to believe wild claims by strangers on the internet, but this one, yeah, it's not hard to believe. 😬

@tshirtman @Archivist @blaurascon yeah... it took me a while to realise what was going on. The first package you think 'oh, maybe it got damaged...?', the next one 'wait. clean cut, nicely taped closed again.' ...
One of my next purchases was a little book with a subtitle "Managment of common poisons." After that, the kilo of spices straight from India took 4 months to get cleared by customs. I still pity the sniffer dog that dug his nose into that masala bomb :)

@kmmich @Archivist @blaurascon 😆 did that kilo of spice stop the series? if not, what did it take? 😆

@tshirtman @Archivist @blaurascon it didn't. They seem to have lost interest, although Indian spices still take suspiciously long to arrive. Weirdly, Ukranian seeds are no problem, it seems. Also, I just try toavoid online shopping. Except for really embarrassing stuff like underwear (makes mental note to find some sex toys online).
Suspicious literature is now acquired in suitably darker ways :)
