*#!*#!!!** got my order

[desertdan]

Just a scary looking plastic bag with CBP stickers all over it and this letter inside. Rotten federal buggers.

That's rough. Sorry to see that. I wish they would end this lunacy of cannabis prohibition. Weed is bad, but here, have a month supply of opiod medications for your sore back.

Corrected for accuracy.

Who did you order from?

 

[desertdan]

The Vault UK. Would had been my third order from them. The will send again.

Being in Canada I tend to shop local - which includes buying seeds - buy in one's own country, then it's not crossing a border and no homeland security inspection is involved. Once they know the addresses of where the seeds are coming from - then that address is flagged.

Desertdan, so sorry to hear it!!! Must be quite unpleasant to get that notice! Have you been ordering stealth (i.e., disguised order)?

 

[desertdan]

Of course.No other way to go. The buggers are gonna get one now and then.

 

[OzBud]

a mate of mine recently had an order from Attitude confiscated. They reshipped and his second package arrived but too late for his outdoor summer plans (southern hemisphere)

 

[BG Bud]

Happened to me with Bonza seeds and they re-shipped free and arrived in 3 weeks

 

[alltatup]

I'm kinda relieved to hear from various others that it's happened to, and then y'all received second shipment w/ no problems.

So how does that work? They take your seeds, send you a letter, and that's it? Can you be arrested or fined or have anything bad happen to you except lose your seeds? Are you in the US and in a state where it's illegal to grow? I've always been a little paranoid about order seeds thru the mail as I managed to live almost 60 years without a criminal record.

 

[desertdan]

They make the thing look scary but when one reads the letter it does not really say much. Letter says stuff is illegal for import and is quarantined. I guess if I asked them to still deliver they might get excited. I see others have had same thing happen with no problems and packages resent and arrived no problems. I sent email today to supplier and I am sure they will reship. More worried about losing my $ than getting caught. I have a friend who has a friend who works at USPS. He says when they find stuff like seeds they usually just trash them but now and then they send nasty letters for the fun of it. The envelope customs use is much scarier looking than the letter inside.

 

[BuddMarsh]

You can not get in trouble for having seeds shipped to you, because you have no control over who can send you something. But if you are caught shipping seeds that would be a different story.

Dagmar, Nebula explains what happens when they grab your seeds here:

It has to be disturbing to have it happen, but I don't worry about it. I will be 64 in April--no criminal record knock on wood. So far, I've made five seed orders from Europe to the US without problems, and if they confiscate some day, I'll just contact the seed seller and have them reship...

 

[alltatup]

Didn't the fabulous furry freak brothers say that doing time without weed is worse that doing time with money? Something like that... But yeah, having seeds IS NOT ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!

 

[alltatup]

Very good point, Budd, and your dog is absolutely gorgeous. That's a blue heeler, no?

 

[Dagmar]

Thanks, tat, for the link and the info... great to know!

 

[Dagmar]

"...for the fun of it." I get that! Sounds like the sort of thing I might do - for the fun of it!

 

[BuddMarsh]

She is a Hangin' Tree Cowdog and she says thanks for calling her gorgeous.
