I've always had good luck with Attitude. The first time was in 2006, no issues. Again in other orders no issues. Once they were intercepted by customs and I got them replaced as I always use the stealth shipping. The last time I ordered was early this year. I used the stealth shipping and had a fuck of a time finding the seeds, it was an epic stealth shipment. I would still rather buy from the US but sometimes there are certain strains that can't be had over here.

I agree with the stealth! I have had some fun with the Attitude's stealth shipments over the years. Once in a while you get something really lazy and boring, but that's unusual. I remember emailing them one time when I couldn't find the seeds, but since then I just disassemble the package piece by piece to find them. The add on options, like the "leather" option are definitely worth trying at least once as well, very entertaining. I think the last thing I ordered from Attitude was Karma's Biker Kush, and I'd certainly use them again for Karma gear if they had something that the domestic shops don't. But now domestic banks carry most of what I want, old school and landrace strains, and if I'm going to order from overseas it's more likely to be from India. I do have much love for Attitude though, going back probably 15 years? They've always done right by me.

i would have to agree with original poster. I live in an illegal state and did not pay for shipping from Attitude and got same email just recently that because I didnt pay for guaranteed shipping, ooop. I see that there are regular defenders of attitude on here and i dont know why. For them to hang with the pros in theyre peer group; seedsman, they need to get the seeds to customer, not play a game, for all we know the seed was never meant to reach customer, how hard is it to send out new seed? I ordered two lousy fem seed for 42$ Been getting burned playing the european game a lot lately. herbies dont want to send seed to same adress but wants my credit card info which they wont get. if they cant be real and send my sh%t shame on them. just what is going on in europe with these scammers? also I lost cash sent to another european scammer company, once received filched with no conciense. Id say shame on attitude for not having enough seed to replace, like a banker they can pretend to have more than they actually have maybe. like original poster I order American now cause I dont need the scam or lack of integrity for handled seeds with low germ rate, naww ill pass attitude
I've had nothing but good luck with Attitude and I've ordered over the years from them. But anything international will have higher levels of scrutiny than any countries internal mail system. It just seems the way of the world these days. BTW you could order from Attitude in the USA if you wished to. I've ordered from them and got my order (just like all my UK orders) best of all it was much quicker.
All that being said I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Seeds are pretty expensive these days so I'm sure it hurts.

Recently got duds from them, every seed didn’t germ (never happened to me before) emailed and never got a single answer. I’ve also switched. They were fine 3 years ago but 5 seeds no germ is something I find insane. Not hating just takes on bad experience and no answer to steer me away

I have some level of disagreement with the idea that one should have to pay extra to be guaranteed to actually receive what they pay for. In the US at least, I'm thinking the seller is basically obligated to make sure customers aren't held responsible for anything that happens while still in transit. Seems like that should universally be on the seller. I'm wondering if the payment issuer may side with the buyer and issue a charge back for non-receipt.
Actually created an Attitude account fairly recently, and have a cart full of stuff I want. The cheapest guarantee option still doubles shipping to $25-ish, though, which definitely irks me.

I can agree with this. Herbies does it as part of the standard price/shipping that you pay for. Not sure about guaranteed this or that, but their stealth has been really good.

If u want them to resend or give credit when customs does their jobs and snags the seeds you gotta pay the shipping insurance "guarantee". From my experience if it gets caught or held up in customs they are good about honoring the guarantee. Doing a chargeback because you cheaped out on shipping when u ordered something overseas that you know customs is looking for is weak. Either pay for the guarantee, order within your country or from a company that offers free guarantee, or take your lumps if customs decides to check your package.
It's like getting mad at your car insurance company because they won't pay for your car damages when you only paid for liability. Makes no sense lol

Yet founding an entire business model on selling a product they know to be illegal in many places, but still double-charging customers to actually guarantee delivery, is admirable? Nonsense. I just don't agree with any circumstance where a buyer should pay a separate fee to not be shit outta luck if their package never arrives. And if the credit card company decides they agree and issue the charge back, not a damn thing 'weak' about that. Successfully using whatever paltry consumer protection policies that happen to be in place sounds more like a power move to me.
At best, I think the choice to explicitly double-charge customers to ensure they receive their shipment shows poor business-savvy. Presumably, someone within the business has the sense to track the instances of Customs seizures and calculate roughly how much loss is likely to be incurred within any time period. Quietly factor that info into their general pricing equations; bump the prices up $.04/pack - or whatever it works out to - and look more like heroes for not charging a separate fee for customer peace of mind.

they aren't being confiscated due to their legality, seeds are legal in the US.. They are being confiscated because there are rules about how to import seeds into another country to protect other countries from invasive species..
you neglect to take account all the scammers that lie and say they never received their seeds when they did
this is the type of attitude that ruins it for everyone else and makes prices go up and companies discontinue shipping to regions.. honorable people who knew the risks and were willing to deal with the potential consequences (loss of money and item) are sadly a rare breed now

And in the end it all boils down to what the individual is willing to pay and the risk they choose to take to save a few bucks .
Business practices vary widely and the consumer makes the last decision when they complete the order by sending payment .

This post is a bit tongue n cheek, but it also has some merit IMO.
There are options if you'd like to import Agricultural products Internationally.

Or you could just opt for the nominal fee so you receive what you pay for from outside of your own borders. Otherwise, use a seed bank within your own borders and support your local business's.

You would be amazed how some people order seeds on credit cards and cancel thru their card knowing the seeds are shipped and arrive anyway
Alway”s “I was afraid I was scammed “ bs
Add in those who claim they never received them then a month later admit they got both orders
It’s a seedy business on both sides
