[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1114910, member: 29298"] They do a light sprinkling for wine, the legals will do it right. But if a company wants to ship illegally, they won't state it as wine. The onus package by package is on the shipper to abide by state laws. For example carriers won't keep track of how much wine a single person rec'd yearly, some states have that exact requirement. Wine is predictable with size/wieght, so you can assume a little bit, but then they could come back with "it's olive oil". Now move to Pharms/Meds, not predictable on size nor weight. And there are a million and one different kinds of medical things that can be moving all around the country. A carrier couldn't keep track of this, you guys would have to be Dr's with an under of logistics. So that not being possible, the common sense conclusion is back on the shippers to do it right. And if they aren't, the law goes after the shipper not the carrier. Meds/Devices also have state pairings (from/to) which are legal and illegal product by product, how would you ever know that? The illegals aren't going to tell you "hey were shipping illegal packages!". USPS haven't shipped any illegal pharms/meds across states that shouldn't be paired? HOWEVER.... if they can prove the carrier knows and is in cahoots to some level with the shipper doing it, well then they are liable. [/QUOTE]
