we can't disclose our packaging details on an open forum - if you'd like to use the contact screen on our site, you can get more information.

if you're worried about bringing down heat on your home, use a safe address - like one at a UPS store or a friend's house.
plenty of people do that even in the UK where it's legal to own cannabis seeds.

by the way, if your seeds get snatched by customs, you just get a notice along with your empty mailer. unless you order an outrageous number of seeds, i don't think they're turning you over to the local authorities. at least I haven't ever heard of that happening & i've searched & searched for any reports.

i spend a lot of time on the east coast of the us and have had seeds delivered here without issue
some customs offices are more watchful than others, but most people in the east don't have a problem.

note that i think they're still working on the contract with the new card processor, but they keep promising me it'll be sorted soon.
in the meantime, we are accepting wire transfers, cash, western union, bitcoins, etc.
in fact, i'll check again today on the card processor deal & give everyone an update.

that would be great, you can have a package left at a UPS facility then come pick it up? did not know that I should look into this....i will be ordering about 15 or so from you guys if i order in one big order any way i could put in the notes to have you guys ship em separately like a few days appart? that way i have several small packages with only 3-4 seeds each ? just an idea,
thanks for the help

UPS Stores & I believe Fedex has something similar will give you something like a post office box with a street address that you can use for a fee.
Lots of small, at-home businesses use them so that they don't have to give out their home address.

UPS Stores are small, independent shipping facilities that are located in shopping malls - the big UPS sort facilities won't accept shipments from the post office.

Our shipments go out through Royal Mail then through customs then through the Post Office.

If you want to break down the orders into smaller packages, you'll have to order separately & pay the postage with each.
We don't have anyway to do what you suggested through the system & I'm afraid it would confuse our shipping people to no end.
Plus, the mailing costs would mean that we'd lose money on your order.

I don't think you'll have any problem with 15 seeds coming through. And, most of the time, they'll replace any seeds that go missing in the mail at least once.
If seeds go missing at a high rate meaning it's a customs issue, they'll stop shipping to that region for a period of time.
So far, we've only had issues like that in Australia, New Zealand & Hong Kong.

If you look around the forum, you'll see that we've only had one problem here with someone ordering into the US and that was a training issue with our shipping department. They received their replacement without a problem.

awesome let me know when you guys put up credit card processors again...cant wait to place an order

I ordered from these guys today and I'm on the East Coast.

My card kept getting declined, but that was a bank issue not them, as the bank called me with a fraud alert. I cleared the fraud alert with the bank and the automated service said I should try placing the order again. I'm not sure if that meant they put a 'cleared' flag for the charging company or not because by the time this had taken place, I had ordered using Bitcoins instead. If you are going to use credit card, I would stop by your bank and ask to make sure you're cleared for international ordering. Personally, I would go with Bitcoin if at all possible, as it's the stealthiest payment. If you do go with credit/debit card and get things cleared for an international order, the company does allow you to provide separate shipping and billing addresses. Just make sure the billing part matches what you have on file with your card processor.

I had my order shipped to a relative under a fictitious name for a little added security. Shipping to the US requires a signature from the receiver, but the signature does not have to match the name on the shipping slip. Unfortunately for me, the relative I shipped to will more than likely not be home when the parcel arrives. Normally, at least in my area, the post will leave a notice on your door. There is a section in the notice where you can sign and tell them to leave it in a particular spot ("back door","side of house", etc). I'm hoping we're able to do that for my order.

At any rate, I'll let you know how the process goes!


*Edit: My order (with the nice freebies) came to a total of 15 also.

Glad to hear the bitcoins worked for you.

For people who've never used them - including me - do you have a recommendation for where to buy them?

I'm still not sure that the cards work - last time I asked, they said they were deciding whether they would accept credit cards for non-UK orders due to the risk of fraud.
They were trying to work it all out & it's surprisingly complicated - just one of the reasons I like to work with seeds & people instead of the financials.

We also take Western Union - and you can mail cash using certified mail. I think Western Union would be safer & faster if you're not up to learning how to use bitcoins.

I've bought bit coins from here before without any problems but I haven't bought any in the past month or so, since the market prices have gone crazy. I think they are still okay, you had to buy coins early in the day because they used to sell out out quickly but not sure about now.

I've had 100% success with over a dozen seed deliveries, knock wood... :thumbsup:

Yeah, the whole Bitcoin thing is a little daunting. I actually mine, so I had a little supply on hand, and what I didn't have for my order I was able to buy from a friend.

My friend buys and sells all of his BTC (shorthand for Bitcoins) at: https://www.bitstamp.net/ <- lots of transactions both selling and buying so I would say they are very safe

Alternatively, I have also used: https://btc-e.com/ <- not as many transactions and they have a limit on what you can withdraw at one time (a minimum of 0.10) but still seemed pretty safe to me. This site actually allows you to do all the crypto coins so it does have a better variety, whereas the bitstamp above is for BTC only.

I would have probably went with money order or the western union route if I was unable to use the BTC. Unfortunately, I'm like a kid in a candy store since most of the smoke we get around here is brown brick dirt and I just didn't want to wait the extra week or so the mail would add to the ordering process.
