China shipping

[Quatroskin]

After looking into shipments coming from Chinese warehouses across the internet, I’ve seen a handful of claims that if customs intercepts someone’s order, that person can lose both TSA precheck and Global Entry. Has anyone here actually gone through that? Could I avoid it by using another name on the package rather than my own? This is making me unsure about placing an order from China.

Not something I've gone through myself, but I've come across accounts of it. How the government ties TSA precheck to a peptide parcel shipped from China is beyond me, but apparently that's what's going on. Your suggestion sounds like a solid one. Particularly if another person is willing to let you ship to their place. Get it sent to grandma, since she'll never sign up for Pre check or global entry.

Yes, Global Entry has been revoked for some individuals. Although Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck, TSA PreCheck can also be obtained independently. Should your Global Entry be taken away, you may still submit an application for TSA PreCheck, and then rely on MPC to speed up customs processing.

Using a fictitious name on a parcel constitutes mail fraud, a federal crime. Penalties can include imprisonment or substantial fines. I would advise against it.

Got it. Thanks for the input. I’m definitely not going to get involved in any mail fraud, ha. And I won’t take the chance with China shipping either, since I rely on the travel perks far too often.

One more thing worth noting: this problem has also come up with Temu and Shein purchases, not only with gray peptides. (This is about GE revocation.)
