Live Stoner Chat To many seeds being yanked by US CUSTOMS.

[namvet25]

Iv'e seen a lot of seed orders being pulled by US customs lately.I have lost seeds also and I know how it feels to wait for your order than find out customs has pulled it.I think the main problem is many seed banks aren't using enough stealth methods when shipping the order.I no it takes more time and maybe a little more money to figure out better stealth methods for shipping and there are a few banks that give you a choice of stealth methods that may cost a little extra money.I myself don't mind spending a little extra to give my order a better chance of arriving and I think most of us would feel the same.I think to help with this problem we should all contact as many seed banks as we can and let them no whats going on and ask them to do a better job of hiding there seeds and tell them we are willing to pay extra for there trouble.I no this could be done and it would save us a lot of money and wasted time.I have received seeds from a few seed vendors that used excellent stealth methods but I can't say how they did it and one of the best ones I used has been a while and now I can't remember who they were,dammit.So if any one has some better ideas on what we can do to help with this problem let me or any other mod or staff member no through a PM.

FWIW, I was very happy with my recent seedsman order in this regard... It cost me extra, but it was totally worth it.

Seedsupreme.com has always done their job disguising them for me. They also offer insure for $17 I think.

Fantasy,

I know you are impressed by Herbies, but do you realise that you have now exposed them and their now defunct "stealth" shipping method.
Please guys, as Nammy said, too many seeds are being diverted to FLO. We are helping them by publicly announcing their methods. Just say, Herbies are great and very stealthy. But don't tell the world how.

thanks for your understanding guys......eP.

30 orders thru my favorite seed bank all gone thru Chicago the most hated of all customs never one had a package taken and never one had "stealth" shipping. I think I goes a lot deeper than how they are shipped. You guys have to realize it's not just us getting our stuff taken by customs. Any seed coming from across seas has a chance of being seized. Jewelry, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, ect I could gone on for days. For a gang of packages to be seized all at once, only has one of two answers in my book either someone was sitting around smoking bud around the packs or the government has that return address on file.

Another thing is how many of you guys order from seed sites that are just seed sites? I order from a actual headshop so those same seeds could be a rug, tshirt, anything other than seeds. I don't order from seed only sites because even with there stealthy shipping if you trace the address back you will find a seed company. Person to person almost never gets seized even a crossed seas so I really don't think we can suggest anything that will help commercial companies get seeds here without issues. It's the risk we take ordering online not just seeds but anything a crossed seas. Go take a look at what customs deems seizable it's crazy because more are not illegal but still can be taken if found. DEA is not to blame here (not often you say that) it the department of agriculture that put in to place any seed being seized. Just my 2 cents

Mossy & Mephisto send direct from Spain have you ever seen any of there packs taken? No
