Sure seems like the USPS considers it counterfeit. Postal Inspectors absolutely can seize these and investigate. At a minimum getting someone's address flagged.

Suspect sticker. I'll ask my postman tomorrow at pickup if that's a real sticker or not.

I have never seen the postal service affix a sticker that looks like a NIIMBOT sticker to a piece of postage.
It doesn't look genuine.
And it says in the partial on the real sticker on the left "underpaid"..
USPS always just uses ball point pen and writes right on the label for postage due.
I call an early FAKE NEWS on that shit. But I'll ask my postman (Aaron) at pickup tomorrow. Super nice guy... near retirement at the USPS.

I did a quick search and was able to find some examples of what the sticker normally looks like
It's making a little more sense now.
They shipped Ground Advantage.
You really need to have the weights right or you'll get a postage due.
The pseudocode for that is something like
If postage due.
Then Attempt debit account on record for additional postage
If no account on record and postage is due.
Then return to sender
If sender return address is invalid..
and that's where I'm not sure... I know they'll just boomerang the package back if they can't autocharge your account for the overage.
And then if the return address is bunk I'm not sure what happens.
The tier system for weighed postage is not friendly. They would have done better to use flat rate boxes.

Yeah, those look more official.
I'm not discounting that the sticker isn't official. It's just pretty amateur looking for something the post office would use frequently.
I do think it'll may get flagged counterfeit if there is no account debit card to charge for the overage on the sender's account and the return address is invalid.
But I don't think they'll likely seize the package and come get you in trouble for GLP1s. That's a stretch.

People want to start complaining about all types of things that are good. SRY and QSC are two of the best vendors. Yet people want to complain. Go ahead and pay more.

Thanks for your work on debunking the SRY hot pocket conspiracy theory. The funny thing is that the commonly used vendors all tend to be fairly reliable and are afraid of the losses they incur each time people get upset at them. I'm not claiming that there is no risk when you pay someone in China with crypto because there is, but particularly if you use the vendors that others people have been using, the risk is relatively low.
Well I'm sure this thing cost SRYLAB business even if it was fake. But I never worry when I deal with Tuk, SRYLAB, and now I've popped my cherry on QSC. I find Tracy's lack of professionalism and infamatory responses to be tough to overlook.
But ultimately we just want our products to arrive safely and to be exactly (or overfilled) what was advertised.
Some people really like real Group Buys. With shared testing costs, etc. And that makes sense to be... but I think the consequence of a customs seizure could be more than some could handle, especially if the vendor decides not to reship. Other risks seem to be the fact that the GB coordinator takes a fairly large legal risk. These guys from China don't follow the Bitcoin whitepaper and get a new public key/address for each transaction. So it's super easy to track their money.
I know most GB vendors don't pay from exchange wallets and use Exodus... so they are probably fairly well protected from that risk. But it just seems like an inordinate amount of financial and legal risk for the reward. Maybe they do it for the GLP1 street cred?
So I just roll the dice with vendors I've mentioned. Sig Aud. Tuk. GYC. ASC. QSC and SRY. Oh and I have Nexaph too... Lately it's just been Tuk and Sig Aud.
SRY was one of the first vendors I tried after TUK. And my experience has always been positive. Alan seems to own his mistakes when he makes them. I think there are a couple people I can count that haven't been made whole based on promises. One on the forums here. Another in discord.
I'm not sure about all the fuckery lately with SRYLAB, Gibs, and the other character who I'm unsure of. But there is no shortage of fuckery.

That person posted a receipt for $6.50.. and as you can see the only way you'd have to pay additional $6.50 per that table is if sender paid nothing (ie used fake label)... cause $6.50 is the standard rate.. USPS would collect the difference, not double dip. IOW.. Alan's explanation for that fiasco is complete nonsense..
Where is the picture of the receipt for $6.50?
The sticker isn't a receipt. It's a sticker that has $6.50 written on it.
6.50 is the rate for 8 ounces to Zone 6. It's a specific rate zoned. It isn't "standard".

so this whole deal is over 6.50?
Summary seems to be that SRYLAB included prepaid labels to their "US Warehouse". And SRYLAB does not have an account to charge on file with USPS for underpaid postage.
I presume that when the package is attempted to be returned, the address is undeliverable.
At this point the postage gets flagged "counterfeit" and delivery+collection is attempted on the named recipient on the label.
Although it is flagged as counterfeit, and USPS may be well-within their right to open the package. They don't generally do this and will simply attempt to collect postage from the recipient. Yes, postage due was 6.50 because they rejected the underpayment on the label they deemed "counterfeit" due to invalid return address and no account with a card on-file to charge.
That's what I understand at this point.
I don't deny that SRYLAB has been riddled with issues lately. Shipping incorrect volume weights of Tirz, etc. But it seems to have been exacerbated with reports of fake news and completely fabricated accusations.
Right now I am inclined to believe that the picture of the package marked as counterfeit is genuine and USPS simply wants their money for the postage. Little to no risk for the recipient other than 6.50 in this case.

Facts first. 100%
pretty disappointed we haven't got a big sry clearance event by now. i'm starting to think the 50 cents/mg threshold might be the commodity price for tirz, they all seem to be hesitant to breach that for retail pricing.
I didn't even consider it could be a niimbot label but now that you mention it

I’m honestly a bit lost here, do we have any actual proof that the respected member faked the customs letter and postage they shared? From what I’ve seen, Alan’s defense is just a screenshot showing they had some personal beef with him, which doesn’t really prove anything about what happened later.
I also saw Krysia’s post backing Alan, but that’s not surprising. She has a reputation for being petty, like banning people from The Swiss just for being surprised about her taking over 30 mg of Tirz at once or for questioning her motives for pushing TCI so hard. She probably got butthurt when the member told her to f-off after her “do you have any prove” comment.

No, we know nothing, and nothing has been solved. We're just a moving on, lol.

What they mean by counterfeit is the weight on the package does match what they just weighed it at.
You pay the postage by weight. So the weight this post office has is not what is on the postage from SYR - making the customer pay the difference. Alan said if that happens, he would pay you the charge. It doesn’t mean what’s in the bag is counterfeit.
To be honest, 7$ shouldn’t even big that big of deal.
