What is it like clearing customes at both the airport and receiving personal goods by cargo shipment. Does everything arrive as sent?

while the postal system can get philfered, the airport and port customs are ok - because they open it in front of you

Not necessarily. All your goods are X-rayed as they look for contraband (alcohol, drugs, etc.) They usually leave personal items alone. You need to be there when they open your box/container, etc. I've recently gone through this with a new recruit to Q8 - everything was cleared, all the DVDs (even the ones with steamy pictures), books, etc. (although they looked at the insides of some.) Don't bring anything that could be construed as offensive to the faith.
