Seed Order Dalayed--Looking for peace of mind.

[DieselRyderGrow]

I placed a seed order about 21 days ago from the Doc. I also placed another one about 7 days after that one. The one I placed 7 days later showed up a while ago but the one placed first is still missing. I am just looking for some piece of mind on this issue.

If the order was intercepted by customs would that be a cause for delay? Does customs hold onto orders for over a week before sending it back out with a note?

How possible is it that the order went missing--seriously, how often does mail actually go missing?

Is it at all possible that it is being held as evidence in an ongoing investigation on me? Should I destroy any plants that I may have growing due to fear that they might be withholding the order as-is to show as evidence in a courtroom?

I am a long time reader and am just looking for some peace of mind. Any answers are really appreciated!

Thank you.

You shouldn't order seeds to the grow address. I wouldn't panic. Why not email Dr. and see if there has been a mistake? Sometimes things get messed up, especially with 2 orders.

SeedBoutique left my order in shipping for 2 weeks, then I emailed and it was here 5 days later.

Curious to find out more....

I have already send him some messages and here is what he had to say:

When I asked if it was at all normal to receive the second package before the first package he responded with the following:
"Hi its the postal service its never ever run correct .. give it a while longer .. if no joy get back to us."

He also mentioned the following:
"...if your order has been intercepted it can take up to 4 weeks to get a notification."

Is that last part true? When an order is confiscated by customs, do they hang onto the package for two weeks before sending it back out? I always assumed that they removed the contraband and then resent the package with a nice little letter inside.

It has been three weeks for an order that consistantly took 4-6 days in the past. That is why I am pretty worried actually. I would have thought that if it was nabbed that it would have already arrived by now. I can only imagine that the reason that it is taking so long is that it is being 'looked into' by someone who is wanting to do more than just remove the contraband and send it on its way with a letter inside.

So I resubmit the question. Is it normal for customs to detain a package two weeks before forwarding it without its contents or has my package been forwarded to my local police department instead?

Any peace of mind is appreciated.

Again, Thank You!

So I have an update for everyone.

A the last week in Janurary, I asked the Doc for a resend and he did it no problem. He resent the exact item that I ordered the first time even though the first time it didn't show up (not a cheap product).

A few days after I received the resent package, I was notified that the original package had been returned to the Doc (9 weeks later) and marked as undeliverable--Simply an error with the postal service.

So that's that. I got my beans, the Doc resent for free, and my original letter didn't show up in the hands of the LEO.

Thanks for the update.

FYI: One person said he received a envelope that was empty with a yellow sticker on it that said-confiscated, customs or something like that.

Too bad they didn't re-send original pkg. to you when they got it back. To thank you for being a good patient customer and reward you for being honest! I'd say, that would be really good business for a rec! Regardless, they came thru and no harm, except your time and anquish. In other lines of retail, they do send a gift for honesty and patience!

I was suppose to receive soemthing recently and still waiting! Now, I am worried, like you--they have my P.O. Box #! Wherever it went!

I think we all need closure on these type of issues. Thanks for letting us knw! P/R!

"Too bad they didn't re-send original pkg. to you when they got it back."

One of the representatives offered to, but I explained the situation to him and told him that I did not want it. Morally, doing what you suggested would be bullshit. They resent my original order on good faith (I could have received it and wanted more for free and proclaimed it as lost), they resent the exact same item (Expensive White Widow) and not some knock-off product (Bargain-Brand White Widow), and they did it all free of charge.

On top of all of that, I wasn't really being a "good customer". I probably sent him 20 messages in the course of 8 weeks. He was patient and responded to all of them. I also didn't wait the 8 weeks before sending a complaint; their website says that they have an 8 week waiting period.

Even if I had absolutely no morals and wanted to screw the Doc out of every free item I could get, I got the strains that I would like to try for a good long while and the last thing that I would want is another package having any chance of getting nabbed or lost in the mail.

Knock on wood I haven't had any problems with my deliveries and the two I got from the Doc were here in less then 2 weeks. Glad you got yours. Did you ever have any success with you Dieselryder?
