I had a bunch come in on Sat the 12th from the Boo.
it's been my experience that the house always wins.
some of the best came from bagseed...jus' sayin'.

true enough!my problem is i wouldn't know where to get a bag with seeds in it anymore
that's not a complaint
it means your gear is on this side of the pond and going through a sort facility (where there are probably a few customs assholes) so it can be sent to it's final destination
FWIW the tracking gets pretty sketchy once it gets into the US mail. i've had things show up in my mail box when the tracking tells me it is still in another state. just another little mind fuck to consider while you sit and wonder if you are going to ever see what you ordered

I got the empty envelope with the customs green tape and the bad boy letter inside. It went through customs in L.A. which is strange as the mailing came from Gread Britian. I think customs is getting wise to the style of envelope that seed bank uses. I will order from the Boo next time as I have never had problems there.

As long as we can get the shippers to follow your advise or create new ways to ship safely since customs has become more vigilent, we will be alright. If they don't adjust, shipments will continue to be confiscated and the sellers will start to lose business. Sellers need to remember that making seeds is not that hard and if a guy loses money a couple of times because of confiscation, he will become a seed maker. Time to up your game sellers.
just depends on what they inspect...Most get through some don't. Even shipment within the us are being found since the bust of the Silk road they have started inspecting more packages within the us. I know a few that have lost packages recently using both ups and USPS.
