Busted for buying seeds online ?

[Roger A. Shrubber]

Just read an article today about how USPS photographs every piece of mail that passes through and keeps it all in a database using analytics gathered from outside the package. I expect things to tighten up after the recent mail bomb scares this week.

yes and no, they're looking for specific things, and those things shouldn't be anywhere close to a package of seeds. so it might actually be a good time to order, as they'll be busy looking for explosive oriented items.

not from SHN

Whats also sketchy about your case, is that SHN says they keep all your IP address/personal info and have stated they will turn your info in to your bank/law enforcement if you attempt to do a chargeback. I always wondered why they would block customers using a VPN.

actually seems pretty standard to me, a lot of mail order businesses will do the same thing, to prevent people from ordering from them, waiting a day or two, then cancelling the order when it's already been shipped.....if you're not ripping them off, they have a legal obligation to keep your info private.....of course, they could be "hacked"....

in general. if SHN has attracted special attention to itself, it might be a good idea to write off a loss and order from someplace else

Things have changed. You cant shake a stick now without hitting a breeder or new seedbank and they're all fighting for a very small piece of the market. Some remain ethical while others are shady and cant be trusted with personal info.

Maybe its me, but its seems everything used to be on the "down low" and shit was generally kept a little quiet (stealth shipping/payment methods) but with cannabis becoming more mainstream we get lulled into a comfort zone of complacency. Then you have competitors reporting each other...its just crazy.
And yanno, the idea of having personal info used as leverage with law enforcement is right in line with same sleazy opportunistic freeloaders that brought about the policy to begin with.

I don't blame RBJFreak for wanting to wash his hands of the whole thing.

Sorry to rant but the shit I've read in the last few months has been a little unnerving.

Wow, that is insane.

Damn. Yeah not doing the resend they offered. I’ll just take the refund and clean house

I've never seen any arrest of anybody importing from China.

Of the arrest I've seen, it was idiots trying to smuggle the already made pills across the border into Canada or the U.S. border with Mexico or by local law enforcement for selling in a Walmart parking lot.

They didn't find a package from China and then track down the people.

They busted people that already had the drugs trying to smuggle them elsewhere in cars like idiots as I said before.

If you know of someone busted direct from China, post the link. I'd like to see it.

I know a man that orderd fent from china and they tracked it to his home and busted him around a year ago.that was in ky, and a nother one from ohio.

 

[reallybigjesusfreak]

sorry bro

Is what it is. I’m not happy but could be worse

 

[reallybigjesusfreak]

So I heard back from them late last night (saw it this morning). They are offering me either a reship or refund, both 100% full and free. I took the refund.

you get the part about them talking bout that letter you might receive?

 

[reallybigjesusfreak]

yup, i saw that. I dont think it means much more than exactly that, you just get a letter saying they took it.

edit: you *may* recieve a letter.
