Customs Confiscation Reports

[UncleReemis]

I and a few others from another thread thought this would be a nice idea, credit goez to dannyboy and whoever else mentioned it.

Seed banks are changing up their stealth methods frequently to avoid regular interceptions from customs. However, there are inevitable times in the future when certain seed banks will have regular problems with customs intercepting packages due to familiar labeling, packaging, contents, etc.

If you've had a package intercepted and raped by customs, report it here with the name of the seed bank and the customs location that did it. Ex. Attitude order intercepted and confiscated in IL.

*Do not post pictures of packaging or labels*

Make sure to remember to skip to the more recent pages for time-accurate reports, stoners


Hopefully this will save some people from wasting money and time in the future.

Here is mine. Second attempt from Attitude Seedbank. The box was empty when I got it, save for the letter. Seeds must have just been sitting in there. Not very stealthy, changing the sender name did nothing.

Confiscated in California arrived in Colorado empty.

i don't see how this will accomplish anything. so, what do you plan on doing with the info.?

if customers are made aware of the seed banks currently having an increase in customs confiscations, they will know not to waste months and potentially non-refundable money on the tedious process of ordering seeds. Any other questions?

Customs does keep note of illegal packages that all look the same and come from the same place under the same name. Realistically, one revealed order is all it takes to ruin the current stealth packaging.

Also, it's nice to be organized.

hey jester, just an fyi m8, i took down the pix of the outside of the packaging of your order just so others don't see how these things are shipped..

questions, no. comments, yes. nice thought, but huge waste of time. it might/maybe be of some help, IF, you could get "every," confiscated order, from "every," seed-bank. otherwise, it's an exercise in futility.

I say this is a great way to find out who I'm ordering from next time I do. I sure don't want to order from someone known by customs.
Thanks guys!!!!!!!

i'm not trying to be debbie downer here, but i tend to agree with silky.. imo, the info is pretty useless if you only know how many people on a single forum may have gotten confiscated, and you have no idea what % of total order through any one company that number may represent.. so say you find out 10 people for ex. got their gear taken, is that 10 out of 100, is it 10 out of 1000, is it 10 out of 100000000? see what i mean here.. ok, so ten might have gotten snagged at any one point, but how many have not?

mine didnt get snagged , woot, woot,

 

[UncleReemis]

I respect your opinions. Maybe you're right, but if people can properly examine post times of reports they will discover surges of confiscations. Everyone knew attitude was having problems because there were a billion threads on it. Why not just check this thread, read all the "wow my tude order got seized again" and "yeah mine too" "same here, Chicago IL."

It'd be nice if there were a way to poll it properly and chart the data automatically. I'm sure there is, maybe I'll look into an app or something.

Didn't think of that actually. Good idea just in case.

IMO whatever the total percentages are don't matter to me. I can't ask the last 1,000,000 people that placed orders because they are not all on this forum or posting their business on the internet where I can find it. So just saying I value the experiences the folks here have had that are willing to talk about it.
Peace Bro!!

If it does help anyone that may be interested I am in Michigan and have made a few orders with Herbies, 1 order marijuana-seeds.nl, and 1 order with original-ssc in the past few months and have gotten every package first try. So I cannot say how their customer service is but their shipping was free of green tape.

I like this thread. It's not possible to know exactly how many orders are getting snagged, but if I start seeing numerous reports about shipments from a certain bank getting seized then I'll steer clear from that bank for a while.

I've made one Attitude order this year and it was seized twice by ISC Los Angeles before making it to me. It took more than 2 months to finally get my gear.

My first seizure was shipped with socks and the second was with flash cards. IMHO, the item you choose is irrelevant but I thought someone might be interested.

I would advise anyone using Attitude to opt for regular mail it was the fastest package I ever received from them. It arrived in 8-9 days. That being said, it would have to be a hell of a promo to entice me back to the Attitude.

There's a more updated thread in newbie central to replace this one. Just an fyi
