Over the past few months, we have had instances where freight forward items have been found to contain illegal substances. Richard James International wish to make it crystal clear to anyone considering using our freight forward service as a method to facilitate getting illegal substances to the islands, that if we have any reason to suspect a consignment may contain any form of illegal substance, Avon & Somerset Police will be immediately contacted, along with the Police on the island to which the packages are being sent, and told of our suspicions, which if confirmed, will result in the consignment being removed and the appropriate action taken.
