I have just received the first issue of my Huslter magazine subscription (the first two issues, mysteriously, did not arrive!) and it came in a black poly back. One end of the bag was completely open (not a slight rip, it looks deliberate), so that the magazine could easily be taken out and put back in again - Are Customs likely to open items like this, and if so, would there be any indication that they had done so, and shouldn’t they re-seal the bag in some way?

Or is this likely to be the result of a nosey postal service?

TIA.

Struan, I've only had a couple of items opened by Customs, but in both cases they re-sealed the package and applied a sticker saying they had opened it. One of these times they put an explanatory note inside too. So my experience suggests Customs would re-seal and give indication that they opened it, not a nosey postie!

There was some discussion here about mysteriously opened packages a while back - anyone remember this?

Your postman must have this issue already, unlike the other two!

Thanks for the information Gabriel Nine - I thought that I had read elsewhere that Customs identify that packages have been officially opened - this confirms it.
LOL ! . I Think you are correct fannatastic.

I sincerely hope that this means he has decided to take out his own subscription
