Which bank is Stealthiest?

It would be nice for a real statistical study on this, but given that is hard and takes a while, I am curious for peoples opinions on which seedbanks who ship to the US seem to use the stealthiest shipping. I am seeking no details of just how they are stealthy, but for those who have ordered from many seedbanks, whose shipping methods impressed you the most?

Also, right now, which country of origin seems riskier/safer (Canada, UK, NL, etc.) to the US. Are some packages from some countries snagged more than others?

from my personal experience, i've always had great service, low prices, great freebies, and quick shipping from seedboutique and seedbay.

if it's your first time buying seeds through the mail, don't stress about it too much, many people on here have them sent to their homes without any problems. so far the worst that can happen is they get confiscated and you get an empty letter.

Thats how i found SeedBay/SeedBoo.Best move i ever made.Got ripped at a site,checked out the update,heard of it through Nols site back in late '03,and wallah,lol..First order i did nirvana White Rhino just to see how it worked out.8 days later i got my beans and a freebie,i was hooked ever since//BubbleBags,GroBot,Books,Mini StashBox and many many beans//.Ive gotten so much and have been gifted more than i could ever imagine(thank you DG)i wouldnt even entertain for a second going elsewhere.But The two SB's are deff the best,stealthiest SeedBanks there are,period.Ive gotten so many and have never lost one.If security is yer concern(which is mine) then thats where you want to put yer trust.Peace and stay safe,PVP

I was planning to first order from seedboutique or seedbay, glad your experience confirms that this is a safe way to go. I know its the site associated with this forum, so people here likely participate here due to good experience. But I like the prices, selection, and "attitude". Glad the Gypsy delivers on all of the above.

Just trying to be careful

Just trying to be careful

Thanks for the assurances. Just that the deal I've worked so far with my wife is if I grow it can't be traceable to her. I only plan to do one or two seed orders and I should be OK for years if I can keep clones alive and freeze some backup seeds. But if an order gets stopped by customs, my private mailbox can be traced to my house which can be traced to her (in theory, I know, not likely in practice).

I know its a very remote risk, but I really don't want the order to be nabbed as my wife is overly paranoid about this. If the orders get through un-nabbed and un-opened, and I am also getting gear through pre-paid visa to my mailbox, I can get things all set up, and then try to convince her indoor is safer to us all than outdoor guerrilla grow, but at a minimum I can do a few outdoor plants in some remote area as its just for my use.

Oddly enough, us pot heads to tend to oddly be paranoid from time to time :nono:

I think you are going to give yourselves heart attacks from paranoia. There are thousands and thousand of members on this board alone that grow in the US. In reality there are tons and tons of people who grow that never post or even register for a forum. You have nothing to worry about. Kepp your mouth shut and dont throw away anything in the garbage. :D

I have not ordered from Seedbay. I thought they were a little high but you get what you pay for. My last seeds had poor germination rates, blah blah. My next order will be from one of the SB's. I have heard very good things about them. They do have a stealth option I believe. Its posted right on their site how they do it for a few more $

In all the years Ive been posting I cant remember anyone having problems caused by a seed shipment....

Some years ago I had a shipment intercepted....

Nothin happened....

But that address was never used again...

Address them to

first initial .....last name....

As far as what to order...

sour diesel....

the reason is that you will probably be more able to create good seeds from them that are like the parents.... many strains are hybrids and would be less suitable for what you describe..... sour diesel is line bred or interbred.....

I have to agree Pepe. I've never known or heard of anyone getting busted from ordering seeds.

As for ordering seeds, there's always the chance that they may get nabbed at a customs check. It's the nature of the beast. I can tell you that in twenty some orders I have always gotten them. And all of these orders but two were from Gypsy. And thats the reason I always steer people to seedbay. They take the extra time to make sure the package gets to you. And that's what's important.

So, I decided to go with seedboutique, and was surprised to see a few things I wanted were "out of stock" on seedboutique, but available on seedbay. So, I ended up ordering a couple of things on seedboutique, a couple on seedbay, and for good measure got a couple blueberry crosses from peakseedsbc. Should set me up pretty well for some time.

Why does seedboutique list things that are out of stock, but in stock on seedbay? I was a bit surprised.
