    Happen to me. Bought some furniture overseas and paid a lot of money for it. Border services tore it all apart and sent me the remains of them. Nice letter explaining why they did it. I had to file several forms and go the legal route to be reimbursed. Since it was a custom order , they were out several thousand of dollars and my lawyers fees. Took nearly two years to be resolved. Never had a problem since; I always put that case file # on all of my I end that I have shipped now. Small reminder to leave my stuff intact!

    May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
    Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔
    In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.

BUT the journey of being addicted leads to hardship, loss of everything including family, possibly homelessness, sickness, doing deplorable things to feed addiction, sickness, death. So bottom line some people are getting very rich thru the suffering of others. As we know, life can be so hard. Drugs can help for a minute but life becomes so much harder than it was.

    Does anyone know how they handle situations like the drum (in this episide)??? If there has been nothing found, and they've destroyed an item??? Replace it? I'm curious.

    So what happens when CBP damages your goods and does not find anything illegal? Do they replace the expensive equipment or do they compensate you for their mistake? Or do they give you the middle finger?

      Its the same thing here in Australia. They will put it back together as good as they can and send parcel to you wrapped with stick tape showing it was open by them and I also got a letter inside telling me why it was open. Oh well, they are just trying their best. 🤷‍♀️

      Sometimes you still get the item, sometimes you don't. There might be something in the books to get a monetary refund of the item in question, but this isn't my area of expertise.

    For the things they damaged that did not have drugs, I wonder how the owners get their money back on the damaged good? If that machine part had not had dope in it, then taking the time to drill it tells me they were going to put it back together and yet that part would've been compromised and what if it was something important that could be put people in danger? They kind of seem as underhanded as the drug dealers. I'd like to know what they do with damaged property that doesn't have drugs.
