OP, slightly on a tangent, I'm surprised he received an 8 year sentence if the alleged offense was a first offense. Are you sure he really was innocent and that your ex partner definitely framed him? Does he perhaps have a back-story?

As for tracking him down, is there a mutual friend who might know where he is possibly? But perhaps it might be better to let sleeping dogs lie....

If my friend was a drug dealer he was the worst one ever, To him a treat was going to M&S for lunch or going to the chip shop. He saved his money, If he wanted something he worked overtime.
Now I'm afraid he doesn't eat enough or has money for gas/electricity

The friend who just bought you an expensive gift?  I wouldn’t worry too much.

I guess you could write to the prison and request they pass on  a message to his last known address. But it would be illegal for them (or UPS)  to give you the information directly

You say he found your address via a mutual contact, that person has to be the easiest route to try.

I was thinking of checking the tracking and see what depot it was dropped off at and seeing if they remember him.

I've got a suspicion on the mutual friend, but he is refusing to say anything.

You suspected it was your ex, and you never ever told the police....even though it was proven your ex had been in the car..hmm

Yeah, hmm indeed!

All seems abit farfetched. Firstly to get 8 years for a one time offence of drugs he would have had to have hundreds of thousands pounds worth if not millions. Where did you ex get the money to get the drugs to do this?

A person I know got caught with £10,000 worth of cocaine, had phones checked and was guilty. Pleaded guilty and spent 9 months in prison.

Doesnt add up sorry.

If he wanted you to know where he was, he'd have told you when he sent the gift.

To get an eight year sentence, the dealer must have left thousands in the car, knowing he’d never get the gear back from evidence.  It would have been so much easier to warn him off with a thug.
Not adding up for me either, sorry.
