don't send any type of weapons or drugs...don't send anything that is illegal in your state or the state you are sending it to. you can also check with your local post office if you think there may be a problem...actually I think they have a list of what you can and cant send.

It is not legal to open a package that was not intended for you.  If the package fits in your mailbox place it back in there and write ANK (Attempted Not Known), and the carrier will re-deliver to the right address.  If larger the best option would be to call your local Post Office and schedule a pick-up, or go to http://www.usps.com/webtools/carrierpickup.htm  It is not your responsibility to return the package to the rightful owner, the responsibility is that of the Postal Service

Someone sent him (rather, he recieved/bought) something through the mail along the lines of stolen property, narcotics, illegal pornography, etc. I don't know what all would be covered under "illegal material" but I shudder to think.

Depends on where it occurred, It is only an offense so long as it is in transit. Once you receive it, it is no longer considered "mail" for legal purposes.

Not necessarily.\n\nJust like you wouldn't normally put your educational degrees on your mail.

Call a pharmacy and ask.  In most states, you can.

they are strict about medication labels. you cannot take unmarked medication or medication that is not prescribed to you on a plane.

I don't think you can buy drugs that require a Federal prescription legally over the internet regardless of what other people tell you.\n\nYou could check with your pharmacist or your your Federal congress person.  I suppose you could also try and contact the Federal Drug Administration in your Gov't white pages of the phone book.

You should not open it and you should not destroy it either as this is a federal offense. The USPS suggest you mark the envelope "Not at this address" and place it back in a mail collection box.

No, it is illegal. Leave the note on their front door

There's supposed to be, but it's not fool-proof yet. Any one who knows about this, and knows where, when and who should report it. The business who is allowing large sales of medicine, unless it is to a doctor or a pharmacist, could be charged I believe. I would talk to someone in the know about it, police or your doctor. Just say you're concerned about it, and you would like to know if it's legal or what.

yes, its tampering with others mail. and it is considered a federal offense, if it dont belong to you and the person doesnt live there you need to return to sender.

Absolutely not.  This medication is prescribed by a physician only.  Without consent, not only is it illegal, but it could have adverse side effects that the user would otherwise not know about.  Do not take this medication without consulting a physician or pharmacist.

Although sometimes you might get away with a small amount in the mail, most of the time they check and find out and stop you from doing that.\n\nFor more information, you can check out this URL\nhttp://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/clearing_goods/agri_prod_inus.xml\ndried sea cucumber belongs to agricultural products.\n\nDo  they your mail? Yes.  Voice of America reported by that they found some illegal "bird flu" medicine in the mail.
