Okay, lets try my english out a bit.

Hollad is marked as a "risk-country" when it comes to customs. So if you order from there, I suggest you use a poste restante -address. Actually I suggest poste restante always when you order seeds from a seedbank and when it is possible.

Poste restante works like this:
When you fill the ordering form, you don't write you own address, fill your address as "poste restante, *zip-code of your town/city's post office*, *town/city*". I'd recommend you order the seeds with your name being for example "Doglover Group" or something like that. point being, you order the goods "for a group", rather than any specific person. The package will be sent to your local post office. Remember, when you order the seeds with your own name or a name that has been made up, you might be asked to show some ID at the post office when you are picking up the goods.

When the package is at your post office, you just walk there, and ask if there are any poste restante -packages with the name you entered in the ordering form.
 
Well, seeds are a bit of a grey area legally; from what I've read the seeds themselves should be legal, but should Tulli (Customs) really want to bust you, then Finland has laws for "aiding a drug crime" which could be put into effect.

I'm not a lawyer or native Finn so I could be wrong. Have a search in this forum for "seed" or "ordering" and you should get some idea.

Generally stealth shipping is very good. Even if the post packet was opened.

Here is one thread https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=212715

I would just order from some place with good stealth shipping. It helps if you have some other address not linked to you, but people have ordered to their home address without problems.

My fear would be more concerning ordering a bunch of growing equipment. Of course it's pretty unlikely that anyone would care about this, and as long as you don't have any seeds (or anything else) at your place, just say "I grow vegetables. They are so expensive in the supermarket!" or some other bullshit. :)

Safe address would be your best pick broski. Something like poste restante or a P.O. box might also work. I don't know much about that shit, just throwing it out there.

Welcome to Finland, too :)

thanks brother

how does poste restante

say i made it for and club called "tommatoe growers association" or something more relaistic etc

how do i pick up the letter,,how do i prove that the letter is for me do i need to make a actull club

i think a po box is good idea but i think they cost a lot of money and also i need to register a real name and social number with the post office
so that makes me liable etc

im really getting the taste for a smoke as its now summer,and im on my holidays soon


ive got a place i can grow some ,my wifes family has a summer house next to a lake and there is a place i could plant a few



i think im going to find a discrete company and just try my luck with a few seeds first

im happy to find a few other people in the same boat,and i thought it was such a tabo subject here

peace out and thanks so much for the positive info

With poste restante you normally should not have to show your ID at all, but all the workers in post offices are not aware of this. I've got some experience in that.

How do they prove you're not a part of that group/club? They don't investigate these things at all. You don't have to make an actual club, it's enough that you know there is some post waiting in the poste restante, and you know with what name it has been ordered.

All you need to do when the package is in the post office is walk there, and ask for any packages for that specific group with the name you have put in the ordering form. When there is nobodys actual name in the package, they can't prove you're NOT supposed to have that package in your hands. They can't find any info of that group since it does not really exist. No member lists or anything.

If you're going to grow outdoors, remember. Autoflowers all the way baby! Some of the quickest early strains can finish flowering also, but this year it's a bit too late already for early's.

The seedthingy is not an actual taboo, it's just pretty messy with the law sayin one thing, and on the other hand the opposite. Pretty hard to explain. Newest info I've heard about seeds legal issues is this: it's comletely legal to own cannabis seeds, but as soon as you germinate them, they become illegal, cause now they can charge you for "TRYING to commit a drug-related crime". Actually drug-crimes are the only ones you can be charged when you've only PLANNED to commit 'em. Pretty fucked up. You can plan a murder, it's not a crime. You can't buy a fuckin bottle of biobloom, cause now you are PLANNING to grow some drugs.


Good luck with ordering! It's not that risky with poste restante. May your summer be hazy, brother! :)

Edit: Some spelling errors corrected. Sorry my shitty english.

Oh, and sorry 'bout the need for editing BT. I'm a bit tired, and did not think enough. Guess I'll just have to get my postcount up to PM level. :D
