Fireworks anyone????
Original Message   Jun 1, 2005 1:01 am
Anyone have a beet on where I can get some new mortar tubes??  I need 2", 3", 4", and 6" tubes.  No, I cant sell any fireworks, so dont ask, but all my tubes got left out last year in the rain and ruined.  Now I have my Shells but just realized I'm tubeless.  If anyone knows where ya can buy the material to make them please let me know.  My supplier of shells told me he had none, and couldnt point me in the right direction here.  thanks in advance if anyone knows.

The customs officers were probably having some difficulty figuring out whether processed poppies, cocoa plants, and cannabis still qualified as vegetables or whether they were vegetable producing products.

I do not believe UPS/Fed Ex inspect every package for the contents.

I did some checking, I was wrong.

UPS hub near me has 100% package inspections - you're supposed to bring in your shipments unsealed for them to inspect your packaging. So, it's kinda impossible to not tell them what you're shipping. I don't know if they are all this way but I would suspect so.

So, what happens if you ship something from work?  Do you have to have it open, they inspect it and then you have to seal it up while they wait?   Somehow, I can't imagine them paying guys to sit around waiting while you are sealing packages!

Chris, if the store could not ship it I would try, if they say I can't so be it, I tried and knowing now that they inspect I would tell UPS/USPS what it is and still try to ship it.  I am not breaking the law by trying, fireworks and the equipment are legal here, if the store can sell it I can try to ship it.  They can't arrest me here, it is not illegal to have it in my possession.  If it is illegal to ship they would tell me, so be it.  I am not a terrorist or trying to get one over on anyone nor am I going to run like a scared sheep and not try.
