I've been reading about a high interdiction rate...for seeds passing though the Port of Chicago, U.S. Customs postal hub. (50%)Quote:
Seems like about 10% of the time your package will be confiscated.
It may explain why East, West and South coast orders usually make it..???...:cool:

My first experience with a seed company:
I ordered three strains from Dr. Chronic
Dutch Passion-Power Plant
Mr. Nice-Shark Shock
Reserva-Purple Wreck
Less than a week later i received the PP and SS. The letter said the other seeds will be on the way in the next two weeks.
Very discreet, my friendly mail woman handed me my mail and said, "you got a letter from overseas", "Sweet" I said, "how are your tomatoes coming"?
My only complaint is that the Shark Shocks look rather underdeveloped. They are small and pretty white looking. Bummer, I hope some of them will give.
I did receive eexcellent customer service from this company. I had trouble with forms of payment, and they were very helpful and prompt.
hoping my order from seedboutique will show up any day now.
anyone know if they send freebies? :thumbsup:
I had 10 seeds I had ordered from an Amsterdam seedbank confiscated a year ago, and when I got the package in the mail, it looked obvious to me that it was contraband (came in a regular letter with Amsterdam postmarks on it!). If I was working for Customs I would have laughed when I saw it! Now, I order from the UK and comes through the New York and in 5 orders in one year I have lost none!
Ordering from Holland is a hard way to collect Dutch stamps.....:rastabanna:...but, I do it anyway.
I put in an order from docchronic last night for some beans...now we wait! Sounds good to me with the positive feedback they get!
what'd u get from the doc?..seems like he has about everything.
Nirvana Chrystal and AK 48 (regular) and Nirvana feminized Pure Power Plant!
sweet!
sounds likes a good combo...how does that chrystal do indoor?
got my seedboutique beans today! plus freebie (5 - haze x skunk #1) guess thats the regular for SB give away.
germ'd 10 white skunk tonight...watch for the grow log.
