So, don't ship boxes of money. Bank transfers or checks. If you're getting garnished, I'm sorry to say, but pay your debts. (garnished =/= police confiscation)
I don't agree with this civil forfeiture either, but what are you actually able to do about it? Legal fees will outpace recovering the money no matter what, especially since they'll have you prove a negative by claiming it is drug money or something. Don't mail boxes of cash.
It is not illegal to send money by mail and there are legitimate reasons to do so. This is a blatant money grab by a corrupt government.
