In reply to: What Post Office thinks if powder sneaks through posted by Lisa K on November 15, 2001 at 00:56:20:

They delivered it to the customer in quadruple plastic sealed bags
and she verified she was expecting just that thing and they let her
have it. No hassle, although the lady delivering it was curious as
to why someone would want all that green powder. I was surprised,
I'd expected something like Kenzi was saying.
