Anyone else receive a Notice of Seizure via certified mail?

When did your package from India go to customs? A couple weeks ago?

I assume all this was at NYC, since my packages from India always go there. My last India order went to NYC customs on July 14th (23 days ago) and cleared in two days.

Yeah, it was ICS New York. Most of my India stuff cleared in hours through there. However, not this package....

It’s crazy where so much of this stuff comes from. I recently learned that Hyaluronic Acid comes from that red thing on a roosters head.

what the actual....?! had to look it up..
Google ai says: Hyaluronic acid (HA) used in cosmetics is primarily sourced through bio-fermentation of bacteria, rather than extraction from animal tissues like rooster combs. This process involves using lactic acid bacteria to produce HA, which is then purified and dehydrated into a powder. While some HA was historically extracted from rooster combs, this method is less common today due to ethical concerns and the availability of more sustainable alternatives

I was gonna throw out a bunch of stuff!

Seriously though..who decided to rub rooster comb slices on themselves to discover this???

People inject it for wrinkles too.

People inject it for wrinkles too.

And it's injected into arthritic knee joints, for people not yet ready for knee joint replacement surgery, as it helps cartilage to heal to some degree. But one has to have at least some level of cartilage left in the joint for it to work. If you are bone-on-bone, this injection is a waste of time and not indicated.

I have four love letters to date. One of them, I believe, came from the March Chicago Customs bust. Uncle Sam wanted my autograph, and I gave it to him. It was the least I could do for saving me from BPC 157. Ironically, even worse things passed simultaneously, and I signed for those while I signed the certified letter. It’s the game of cat and mouse I agreed to when I entered this.

On Glutatione, I now bypass India and go straight to South Korea. I grab four kits of Wells Pharm Tech 1200 mg for 60 bucks each, and if I add in a coupon for 15%, it comes to 51 bucks. The shipping is 29 bucks, and it arrives at my doorstep in three days. I take some Laennec and Melsom that I acquired from a group buy. This board has truly sent me down a twisted rabbit hole, oh, the innocence lost, Glp-1 forum.

I also got my love letter from the Chicago bust earlier this year, signed for the letter, then took no action, assuming that taking no action was going to let me abandon my dreaded-glow products (now labeled as growth hormone valued at $14k), and that would be the end of it.

Not so. Got another love letter this week regarding that same item, again listing options for what to do in the form of check boxes. There are options for appealing the seizure, but I want to abandon it.
So I checked the box #3 labelled ABANDON, and sent it back to them.
Hopefully that's the end of that, and hopefully no long-term negative repercussions in govt databases.

My package was actually from China, not India. It was from WBS, which I thought was a relatively newer small company so I wouldnt think they would have a bad rep yet with CBP. It was mailed 06/28, and went thru Chicago. WBS says they will reship but getting lots of excuses so far. Fingers crossed that I get another package
