Picture this. I'm a virtual company. My product is not cigs; but for arguement sake, let's say it is.

I have shipping accounts with Stamps.com, UPS and Fedex.

I make sales on my ecommerce site, I pack the cartons myself and call for a pick up.

How do you know what is packed in my boxes? I just confirm it is not radio active or non toxic materials. Box is delivered, voula, cigs are delivered.

You fill in the "Contents" section of the manifest.

But, contrary to what others are saying here, I get the impression it's not the carriers' responsibility; it's the retailers'.

The State of NY will go after the retailers, not the carriers. NY agents will soon be ordering cigs online, and stinging those who are stupid or ignorant enough to ship to NY addresses.
