From the UK actually, I'm not sure if it is watched, but simple possession of RP isn't illegal here yet...

legal....but suspicious
Of course it is watched.

'Reasonable suspicion' [a deliberately ambiguous definition] means a police officer can kick your door in because he suspects you might be
breaking the law. He isn't particularly bothered that the RP in itself isn't illegal...it's what you might be doing with it that
he's gambling on. If he does enter your home [with his 7 or so colleagues] he will probably confiscate the beautiful quickfit you keep under
your bed (for immediate pulverisation and forensic analysis) and anything else that looks slightly chem/science related since you are now suspected of
running a drug lab by the mere presence of the labglass.
Our friend at KNO3 had/has another website which had lots of references to the cumbrian police force. I haven't checked it in a while so it may
or may not still be up but it appeared to be some kind of sarcastic joke at their expense. Funny maybe...but definetly not smart!
On the other hand you could order the item and have it sent to you 'Post Restante' which is a little like having a PO box but doesn't
cost you a penny. You can have any item delivered to a post office where you pick it up in person instead of having it sent to your home address.

Thank you. I didn't know of the service, but as it turns out thats what happened anyway, as the package of phosphorus was too big to fit through
my letterbox.
As it happened, I send my father to pick it up from the sorting office for me
Oh well...he's going to have another package to pick up fairly soon...at least he is good for something! (I don't like him)
Have you the address for that other site you made mention of by the way?

thats not quite what happened
Your mail was addressed to you at your home but was held at the royal mail sorting office I would guess, because of non-delivery. Poste restante must
be clearly marked as such by the sender and should be addressed to you @ the address of your favourite post office eg:
Poste Restante
Rev. Necroticus Rex,
Main St. Post Office,
Herby City
Your don't put your home address on it (and that is the beauty) and you just go along and pick it up in person (ID may be required but usually
anything else with your name printed on it seems to count as ID in my experience) If you have it sent in a friends name....well you get the picture.

 Sorry the site is not perfect but we have sold more than $500,000 of chemicals
to the US and europe in the last 12 Months. We must be doing something right!

There is no such thing as "bomb making chemicals". There are chemicals that can be used to make, in this case, crude bombs.
Don't be a hypocrit and complain about fearmongering media one day and use their warp tactics the other day, please.
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.

Vulture, I was not trying to be a hypocrit, but the issue here was, the point of this company being legitimate (not a trap). The combination just
seems odd, as can be read in the thread that I had quoted. I was just presenting things as I have read them. My personal opinion aside.

Kerry-AnnShanks,
A webpage referring to the cleveland police was published on the chemicalsman site. The link I provided above no longer illustrates that fact
because the page has been changed.
However you clearly didn't take into account the google cache which holds an original copy of the page here and you can clearly see 2 references to the cleveland police.
One link points to another page called cleveland_police_coruption.html, again also removed.
And no I'm not a competitor, but I can see why you might be worried. You prices are outrageous and that leaves a lot of room for others to
undercut you I suppose......hmmm I wonder....

CHEMICALSMAN.COM
The fact that chemicalsman.com posted on it's website that it has information of corruption inside cleveland police, What part of this means that
CHEMICALSMAN.COM and legitimate chemical sales has anything to do with that?
Also we are not based in cleveland and have not broken any laws selling chemicals. As far as prices go and judging only bye the amount of sales daily
we must be priced right.
I don't know when you posted your posting but some of our prices just cannot be beaten or item can't be found anywere else.
If after more than 5,000 sales this feedback is worst against www.kno3.com then we have done a very good job. but you can't keep all people happy all the time, But can keep most people happy most of the
time! Enough said.

RP source
The thing I find suspicious about kno3.Is that the place you sourced the RP tubs from is notorious for working with the police.

I highly recommend that nobody order from this company. I know someone that is about to do a long prison term for ordering RP from them.  Also, they never respond to e-mails and I've heard a lot of bad things from
other people after they placed an order. It seems like this company has people in the US working for it that's just trying to get people busted
so watch the hell out!

In The Netherlands the use of those kinds of sugertraps is forbidden by law, provoking is not a legimate way for the police to handle. I think this is
also the case for other EU countries, except for maybe Great Brittain.
Never argue with idiots, they drag you down their level and beat you with experience.

If giving examples of "fishy" advertising tactics that smells of "trap", ultimatly ends
up in being called a "hypocrit", then so be it. I perferre to be called a hypocrite who tries to prevent a snake from biting, than to just
to sit idle and let the inevitible happen. This company stinks !, and the more I read about it, the stronger the stench becomes. Oh, and this is now
my personal opinion.

I was merely referring to the fact that you are labeling certain chemicals as "bomb making chemicals". Ofcourse it's a good thing that
you try to bust suspicious companies.

As a chemist, I should know better than to use the words "bomb making chemicals". You are right about this. However, I am surprised that
nobody has kicked my ass yet for all my typo's. You are all just to polite here at Sciencemadness. I will as from today install a spell checker on this computer, which I bought today.

IIRC, it [RP] is illegal if you're not affiliated with an institution or a company with legitimate use.
If that is the case (as I think it is) then the company in question shouldn't be allowed to sell RP to consumers in the U.S. without the proper
paperwork. That would, in turn, explain the warnings of several of our board members because I suspect that red phosphorus going to a residential
address would arouse suspicion/investigation.

"You mean buying RP is illegal in the states?"
Yep, the DEA threshold for RP is 0, so that means being in possession of any amount (lets say... even 1mg) without a DEA license is against the law.
The person I spoke about was visited the day after delivery and they found other things basically in plain view, which made the charges stick. This
person is rather dull imo so that didn't help either. I bet customs checks every order that ships to the US from this company or they are working
with LE.
