Live Stoner Chat chicago customs took my seeds.

BTW, I know a mod has been in contact with the tude as well. So, I am sure we are working this from AFN as well. I don't know the details though.

Just went to the Attitude to check thier policies. this is what I found -

2. Worldwide Shipping?
The Attitude� ships worldwide but we ask you to check your local law before ordering, as laws differ from country to country, state to state and by ordering, you are confirming that you are ok to do so.

This statement is effectively a disclaimer - if you order seed in country where they are illegal & you send them an Email say you aint had them, You won't get a reply because it could be used as evidence of them sending contraband to a country which has outlawed thier product/goods.

The same can be said of people who complain thier seeds didn't germinate - here in the UK it is not illeagal to posess cannabis seeds but is illeagal to grow them. So if I ordered seeds and used a signed for delivery and they didn't arrive i could complain and expect a new delivery to be sent. However if the seeds did turn up and they didn't germinate I'd be screwed, they wouldn't answer an Email because they would then be party to my unlawful activities, which would make them "an acessory after the fact".

Unfortunately this is how seed companies operate, in one way it is a piss take but in another they have to make sure they don't get closed down by admitting breaking law in the country they sell from and in countries where it is illegal to posess them.

No seed company wants to be the next Marc Emery and have the USA trying to extradite them.

A very sad state of affairs but thats the world we live in.

Peace brothers and sisters my fingers are eternally crossed for you good fortune in this matter

Ke

Muddy sent Attitude a Courtesy mail telling them we were spotting a few Chicago customs problem popping up on site.

They didn't even bother acknowledging his mail..

Yeah over on Icmag it is noted that Chicago is known for taking more seeds then anywhere else.

There are a lot of packages coming through Chicago from Attitude getting seized regardless of guaranteed or not. I believe this is dependent on where you live. I live on the East coast and all my packages are routed through NY. NY isn't seeing the problems Chicago is but my guess is, it is just a matter of time before communications between Chicago and NY customs begins happening and we start seeing problems there as well. I am sure they are already sending emails out with pictures of how everything is packaged. I have seeds coming in this week from the tude and will update when they arrive. Currently they are still being shown in the UK.

Sorry to hear about that Nam. I don't know if you have any good friends that live on the East Coast. My suggestion for anyone reading this is, if you have a friend you can trust to accept and forward your seeds on to you that is probably going to be safer for the moment. My guess is people in the midwest and west's port of entry is Chicago. People on the east's port of entry is NY.

Get out of my head! was just about to post the same thing about having stuff sent to the east coast than forwarded....
I was going to jump on the attitudes aug special but figured I'd give them a break for a bit (allright, I lie, I got that seeddepot email in right before I was bout to place my order on the 'tude, sorry three freebies, 30% off EVERYTHING on the seeddepot (glass included) wins!)
I'm hoping either a) New York just has to much volume going through, b) hey, us north easterners are a HUGE POT HEADS, what else is their to do in 2ft of snow! So maybe the NY PO allows packs to go through so they can help spread the dank up here. C) they are more worried about more important matters like terrorism, since NY is such a huge target....
I hope its all of the above. no fucking terrorist are going to keep me from my city!

Allright I'm regressing here, its the fault of them dragons! Which I may add rcmc has never had a green tape delivery that I'm aware of! Go buy yourselves so dragon or ghaze crosses!

Best smoke! Safest delivery imho (herbies is kick ass I may add as far as shipping )
RCMC!

Also wanted to say maybe if breeders kept to a basic baggy and label instead of the fancy packaging they use to help sell seeds it would have helped in its stealth shipping.

Damn. I hope it's just some sort of weird delay or something. Probably not, but you never know. Sucks that so many beans have been confiscated lately. Is everything entering the country (from Europe) routed through either Chicago or NY? Myself and numerous people I know here in the Pacific NW haven't had a single problem ordering from Attitude, even recently.

Damn prohibition! Ill be served by way of Chicago myself if I ever order beans! I hope it all workout NamVet.

I have said this in other threads as well! Attitude gives the buyer the option of having the seeds removed from the breeder's packs for more discreet shipping. Granted, there a ton of people out there that don't trust anyone and have to have the breeders packs. For them there is no hope but I never have mine shipped in breeder's packs and have never had a package intercepted.

I hear you loud and clear S_a_H, many seed companies start of as humble breeders trying to make thier way in the world and providing growers with new and unique strains, then success leads them into the world of capitalism and they become whores to the system, using oversized ostentatiuos & gaudy packaging. Everyone i know does not buy seeds from a shop & even if they were to buy from a shop, they would already know what they wanted and don't need flashy packaging to sway thier minds.
Honestly you got to be a bit simple to buy weed seeds coz the package looks nice.

Any good seedreseller will if you ask them decant the seeds into a very small crush proof vial and also provide clever stealth delivery methods ie inside something that you would not assosciate with cannabis seeds.

Peace

i agree with you on that one....i live in Oregon and it seems my seeds go through Cali. wish there was i way were we could bypass Chicago and NY. like send it to a po box then ship it in a diff box/package to the recipient. just a thought.
