Guys!

I just happened to order a lightening product in powder form from China.

It never came. I checked and realised its held at the post office and they are awaiting me to pick it up.

What if its monobenzone or mequinol? Is it illegal in UK? If it is , will I be arrested for it ?

All I wanted to ever do is lighten my skin . I have spend two years of my life trying to do so. And now this!

I don't have a clue how to get out of this situation. Im so scared right now.

Help me guys ! What should I say to the post office people ?

Its like a kilo of pure powder!

I HOPE this IS an April fool Joke, but just in case it isn't, here's what I've got to say... I think this is a learning lesson to all that want to or are using illigal lightening agents.. when will you lot ever learn? Does it have to get to this stage where one realises that it ILLIGAL for a REASON! And just because the rest of those who are on to using the nasty stuff haven't been caught yet that day will come! So please people act responsibly and be aware of the consequences.. its no laughing matter..
As for you missy, I suggest you make up some story to save your , but if all goes well , this is a Major sogn for all to STOP using illigal creams and if still in the quest to lighten your skin, go for the SAFE and LEGAL options that may take a little more time but work PERFECTLY well, you won't know until you've tried.. In my previous post I advised another member about skin lightening creams in the uK, the res;pose I got was ''oh their no good' how can one determine what's good and bad, without having tried it? There are a lot of cowboys on the internet trying to sell their stuff and suck in naïve individuals like yourself.. why would anyone want to have a patchy white disfigured face, as that's what these illigal creams do ultimatly.. its completely beyond my understanding, its like sticking a knife up your throat.. I really don't know what to say to you or other member of this forum who think its OK do go about this thinking I've buy it under the counter and will never get caught.. as I said if not today you will tomorrow.. because you ordered a kilo they could think your using this to 'make money'
But to save you , you could say you ordered something else like arbutin or something and got this ( that's if they queston you) fingers crossed you'll be OK, but as I said take this as a learning lesson, for all not to repeat.

You have not said what the product is. What is it?

Some products/ingredients are not legal in the US (which I can guess you already know). You need to confirm the above before you try to buy them.

So what product did you buy?

I mean to say you could say you ordered arbutin but received the other stuff instead which you Didn't want... hopefully no more illigal stuff next time for everyone...

Wow!
May as well go find out an explain what you thought you bought.
I'm praying for you.
All is well just go to the post office.

I think if your product was considered illegal it would not even have passed the customs.

I agree Mistyjane, I have replied to you imgorgeous, please stop worrying, check your pm there.

Customs does not open every package. They cannot catch everything.

Yeah true but it is in the post office awaiting collection what does that mean? Passed custom?

Yes, it passed customs. There is little (probably no) chance that the recipient would be arrested... but that's beside the point. The asker should be smarter about what he/she buys on the internet.

I have the feeling that the buyer knew that he/she was buying a product that is not legal in the US... but we have yet to see since imgorgeous has not yet given the further information that has been asked for.

Why are you worried? If it passed customs then you are OK. I usually get one of those notes when I order something that has to be delivered in person, and I miss the delivery they put a note on your door when they come twice and you are not home, then you just go pick it up, that's probably all it is. Are you in the U.S.

I think they are based in the UK. My thoughts on this is that you don't even know what you bought?! Maybe it really is an April Fools joke.

"It wasn't me!"

Did he get his package from the post office or do we all have to get our money together help post bail? Lol what's really going on?

Iam not giving money :D

I think he is fine

I will actually pay for them to lock him up and throw away the key if he has been playing tricks!! LOL

I think it was a genuine concern, hope it is sorted now.

Imgorgeous, you should have asked around, the China lady goes under lots of bogus company names like Chendu, Raphe, on chemical sites offering everything from mono to steroids
But its all baby powder and starch. The spanish guy from Florida and a lot of people on dD got scammed by her.

@ everyone -

I am sorry. I had gone off some place.

I collected it today from the post office. Apparently, the people at the post office just wanted me to collect it in person .

I feel terrible because when I asked why they didn't send it across , since the address is complete and intact, he said that the delivery man has been BUSY WATCHING FOOTBALL MATCHES THE WHOLE WEEK and then EASTER CAME..



Arrgghhhh - id like to kick their asses for the delay and the amount of work I have put on stop just to find a way to receive the package.

Well at least it is sorted ! Do you actually know what you got then ? Please be careful about putting things on your skin that you are not sure about, especially if you don't know what it is.

Man, you have some of us a fright! I was about to pass around the collection plate to help you post bail and get a good lawyer:D Sara_uk was not having it though, she's holding on tight to her money, going to leave you high and dry. Lol

I'm thinking if that package was leaking in anyway, a white powered substance:confused: In the U.S. they would have shut down the whole post office thinking it was something dangerous!

What did you purchase anyway? Was it for skin lightening? If it's private then you don't have to share. Good luck!

Yes, how dare they make you wait for the illegal substance that you ordered? Contraband should be delivered in a prompt, timely manner.

First you were scared, then you got angry?

Dude your skin is your business, I've made that clear, but you should be careful of what you order, and what you put on yourself. Especially from places that are not so concerned about laws and restrictions.

I hope you can one day be comfortable in your own skin.

And by the way, I'm olive skinned and often try to tan. So I do not judge you.

Peace.

Illegal substance:confused:
What do you think he ordered?

Well, if he was afraid he was going to be arrested at the post office for ordering it, it stands to reason that it was an illegal substance.

Just read his original post again, he did purchase a skin lightening powder. I know hydroquinone is banned in the UK so monobenzone or mequinol would be a big no no but enough to get arrested:confused:
Well... glad he received his package whatever it is.:p
Poor thing nearly had a heart attack. Lol

Man, you have some of us a fright!! I was about to pass around the collection plate to help you post bail and get a good lawyer:D Sara_uk was not having it though, she's holding on tight to her money, gonna leave you high and dry. lol

!!

I would pay to get him arrested though :D

I love you really imgorgeous :p

Imgorgeous--this is your warning.

The comments feature where you gave me a reddie is to be used for information that is FACTUALLY incorrect.

Congratulations for being so smart you used it on a moderator.

We do NOT condone illegal activity on AMHD.

The next time I hear someone asking for advice on how to ILLEGALLY obtain skin lighteners, I will be giving that person an infraction--up to and including a ban--and will be deleting the thread.
