Ordering- and other ONLINE SAFETY....

[uspotgrowers]

yea u have to watch customs comming into the us. i just lost a seed order last week and recieved the package with a letter in it saying the confiscated it and if i would like i could file a claim against it and see if they would return them. I think i will just let them keep it this time , LOL. This is the second time they have gotton my order in 3 yrs. if you keep it down to once or twice a year you wouldnt have too much to worry about but if you get crazy and they catch a order every 2-3 months for you then you might want to worry a bit. but you never know what they will catch or not either so i change up names and ship to my home. i recieve most of them but as i said i have lost 2 orders to them in the last 3 yrs. not small orders either,so i dont have to order too many times. my orders cost are 4-800 a order. NEVER HAD THEM SHOW UP HERE !! US POT GROWERS ASSOCIATION !! (chicago)

Just wanted to chime in with my two cents real quick with one more suggestion for anyone wanting to use a credit/debit card, but too afraid of someone getting your information.

It is a hassle to send check/money order/cash through the mail to obtain ANYTHING, this being no different. However, if you are still too skeptical to use your credit/debit card there are other alternatives that will give you the same perks of utilizing one.

What you will need to do is find a retail store who offers prepaid credit/debit cards. You can pay cash for these cards and use them like you would use your normal credit/debit card, but you don’t have to affiliate your information with this card. This is a fair compromise which allows you to use plastic without putting you in a state of paranoia! These cards can be found at countless locations. I usually go to a large grocery store chain or some sort of Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart-esque store to find them.

I hope this helps those of you who need want the convenience of ordering immediately with a card as opposed to using cash or otherwise!

Actually... That's one of the best ideas I have heard in a while. Using Visa gift cards is a great idea. thanks!!!

As long as you find a site that accepts them and are willing to deal with a few uncertainty's, fine.

But there really isn't a reason not to use a regular Credit/Debit card of course that's if you have one (but who 18 or older doesn't?).

Thought that was made quiet clear in the OP?

wow its very simple. go to walmart get a prepaid cc load as much as your going to spend + overnight or 2/3 day service. Ups or Fedex even the postal servie is way to bogged down to inspect every package"especially 2/3 day " my dad work for postal service and he says its mostly machines anyways. once the cc is used just toss it in the trash.

Wow thats pretty smart, I'm surprised I didn't think of that one. It's true though, what happens if the site your order from doesnt accept them?

Then you won't be able to buy seeds (and are stuck with the card).

Still smart?

The prepaid card sounds like a good idea. I'd bet that if you paid cash for the card, then ordered on a computer other than your own, it would be virtually untraceable to you. Send it to your house, and if the Feds show up, fiegn innocence! If there is no paper or computer trail in your house if they search, then there is no provable wrongdoing, right!?!

Feds showing up for a few seeds?


And if you'd would get caught growing...you would have to worry about much more serious things than where your seeds came from!

i would like to see a website that doesnt take amerx,mastercard,or visa for purchasing products.besides the website that sell seeds is a dime a dozen, if they dont take cc go somewhere else.

Well, thats a whole other issue. Plus- I'm a worst case scenario kinda guy. . .
But I guess my point was that if your house was "clean" otherwise, then I don't think they could prove that the order came from you.

You can still use these cards at an ATM and get the cash off the card. Sure, theres a few fees, but its better to be anonymous.

Speaking of prepaid card fees, watch out for the monthly fee, ATM fee, support fee (if you call them) etc etc etc ... So get it, and use it quick, forget it.

Well I would like to give some advice regarding private information.

I recently went to the store and read the back of Visa Cards to figure out why you need a SSN. Those that are reloadable are more likely to ask for a SSN than a preloaded card. If you do not want to buy a 200 dollar gift card, there is a visa card from the company The Gift Card Mall that does not require an SSN, you can add any amount up to 200 dollars, and also you can add whatever name you want. The only requirement is that you add a cell phone number. So buy a disposable one if you are really really paranoid.
