Hi, I just thought I should reply because my sister and her boyfriends got busted when she ordered seeds online outside of the US. Unfortunately when they received visitors they came prepared and were able to search the place and they had quite a nice setup that was discovered. He sat for a while but had a good attorney that was able to get him off light. But it can happen, so as much as I'd love to get my hands on some really good seeds I've shy'd away from ordering.

Sounds to me like they would have been "just fine" if they would have used a "safe" address for delivery instead of their own...giving Law Enforcement a "de facto" Mapquest to their growing site...

Should have read GC first.

Just wanted to say, "yes"

you can get busted for buying seeds online because my sister and her boyfriend did in Wisconsin. She bought online three or four times prior to not receiving a shipment instead she received a letter from customs explaining why. About 4 weeks later they had visitors to their home with a warrant, luckily they had a good attorney so they didn't sit for to long but they had everything confiscated and a record now.

Since it's your sister...do me a favor and ask why for god sakes she used her home (and growing) address as for the delivery addy...

Thanks!

Maybe she didn't know anyone who'd accept the seeds for her.

On the PO Box note, I get mail that is to someone who the box isn't registered to, but has my PO Box listed as the addy, so you CAN get stuff shipped to a made up name to a PO Box.

Either that or my post office sucks. Which I would believe.

I'm not sure why she didn't use a po box or someone elses address. Next time I talk to her i'll ask!

Sorry bro, I disclosed stealth techniques used by www.marijuana-seeds.nl and then deleted after I discovered the faux pas. Kudos tho to ms.nl, 3 strains + grab bag arrived 7 days after I made the order, UK to west USA. Used cc and home addy.

Wow this is the first time I have ever heard of the letter resulting in a warrant.

Me too...it's not legal to open a letter adressed to someone else without just cause (for law enforcement that is - it's flat out illegal for anyone else), so this envelope was opened for some reason by US Customs, who then notified local law enforcement and the Post Office, who then got search warrants in the local jurisdiction for the property, who then showed up in force and searched the premises? Because of a letter with a few seeds in it?!?!

Hmmmm.....not saying what exactly this reminds me think of, but I'm glad I didn't step in it.

(I get the feeling, "She had ordered 10 thousands seeds, so it wan't an envelope" is the next response here...)

Well at international airports, borders and customs, they do have the right to search luggage etc.

[QUOTE=NewbyCultivaor;4585667]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.

Since sending to your grow site is a bad idea. What should you do if you don't have a friend you can trust. Or maybe you don't want ANYONE to know about you growing. Upping your chance of not getting caught to about 98.9%. Thanks.
