You'd probably be found by customs if you were to get past the post office's own screening. Maybe you could use some clever packaging (such as "lifelike adult pleasure doll") to get past them both.

Just emerge from the package in the middle of customs wearing a hi-vis vest and clipboard.

Given that Australia, Canada, and the UK are extremely worried about people importing sex dolls (especilly from Japan, from which Australia has recently banned all adult imports) because they may resemble children, I'd say labelling your package as a sex doll makes it more likely to get inspected.

They probably use temperature sensors, if for no other reason than to detect a fire risk.

Maybe you could look like you were inside a spool of some material which xrays cannot pass through and insulate the shit out of it.

Well, there's no way that hasn't been tried for drugs, making customs suspicious of those sort of packages.

A fairly impossible question to answer, but if you could ballpark - what percentage of drugs passing through customs do you believe are intercepted by customs?

I’d guess really not much considering the thriving dark web drug markets.

You're able to buy human sized drugs on the dark web!?

"Human sized" being >140 lbs and box to hold.

No, I was replying to that question.

Or “box of lead” but the lead is just lead-lined. Can’t be x-rayed.
