Ordering- and other ONLINE SAFETY.... - Page 3

I've never ordered seeds...

However, I did vacation to Italy, and bought a handcrafted switchblade from a shop. It's pretty tight. I sent it back through FedEx, n it came through just fine. This leads me to believe that the postal service is indeed backed up. I would think that packages at least get X-rayed, but if mine did wouldn't they have noticed the switchblade?

I just wanted to add another site that can be used to host photos with no account or signing up

www.imagevenue.com

If someone else said this site, I do apologize. My eyeballs can't handle reading all of the posts to find out

A switchblade doesn't show as such on an x-ray...

Neither do seeds show as such and only raise suspicion if a visual exam of the x-ray or an address on "the list" is raising a red flag.

There is no officer sitting there all day looking @ every single x-ray taken. It's an automated system being used.

Only items that have been flagged for one or the other reason are being examined further.

I bought 500 zip lock bags off ebay and when i got them in my letter box they had been opened and searched through. I didnt think much of it at the time but now I am thinking about buying some seeds online and I was wondering do you think they are watching what comes through to me overseas because of the bags? probably just being paranoid but I just wants some other opinions.

Nice, but if you're caught with them, it won't help. "Plausible Deniability" is what's called for....

So, I could buy a glass bong from GrassCity.com and there wouldn't be a legal problem? (I live in NY by the way)

If it's unused, it's legal, though there's a possibility it could raise suspicions, especially if they're already watching you for other reasons. My guess is that the volume is high enough that it's probably safe.

Cool. Thanks!

couldn't you find a house that is empty or up for rent close by and have them delivered there? I mean, some houses take months to rent out or sell and you take a risk out losing your seeds, but so long as you don't use your name and all, seems safe enough. Only flaw I could see is the delivery people might be tipped off, but most delivery people don't give a shit, but really what could they do as long as you play it cool?

Hello fellas.....newbie here. Just wanted to add a quick comment. I would guess ordering is pretty damn safe. I have some personal experience. Back around 2001 I was in a weightlifting phase and experimented with steroids for a while. I safely ordered from overseas many times. The last order I made was for 1000 Dianabol tabs and it was seized by customs. But...... you guessed it, all that ever happened was I got the dreaded letter stating that they had seized it and blah blah blah. I wrote the order off as a loss and never heard from them again. I used my own address but a fake name. Once customs seizes an order I highly recommend finding a new address to use. Once my order was seized I played it smart and laid low.

The best thing to do is go with a reputable seed bank but to further shield yourself use a Personal Mail Box. The UPS Store is perfect for receiving all of your packages and it's the only way I get anything delivered, ie lights, soil, seeds, ect.

I have had no problems thus far

Still smart?

tbh thers not many websites that dont accept them, and just like any other product, keep the recipt if you want a refund to get a different brand of pre-paid cards, ther is many to choose from and they work quite well and you dont need to be 18 or older to use/buy the card or anything off the net
