Mine arrived safe and sound today...sorry about everyone else's luck..next time try the tin can with candy shipping option..or order from the single seed center, they have the best stealth shipping
Glad to see someone got through! I was reading another forum and a guy stated the mug and shirts were a red flag at the ISC so you may be right about switching options.

Hey jbig, I just wrote and said the t-shirt was the only thing in the parcel. She has already replied this morning asking about green tape or a letter, so I mailed her a pic of the green tape. I have another order coming from last week. Not sure if it will make it. I'm thinking without custom letters enclosed stating they seized property, is this someone who knows the packaging and just snagging the seeds without filing any papers? Chicago had alot of budget and job cuts to the ISC so I know they ain't working this hard for just seeds.

It's a pretty common practice for them to take
the goodies out and send the rest of the package
with a letter in it. Within 6 weeks (usually 2-4),
you'll probably get a certified letter from Customs
saying that they took your stuff and if you want
to claim it you can contact them by a certain date
or it will be destroyed. Personally I'm a big believer
of ignoring certified letters from the government:bigjoint:

Yea, And I damn sure want that letter!! I'm going to frame it. Hope it gets here before I move.
Jodie and Laura have already shipped my guarantee out. THEY ROCK!
I see the shipping problems are not in the U.K. All my orders left there within 12-24 hours. It's the stinkin USPS where the drag-assing starts.

I have two pending now and both have said "Origin Post Is Preparing Shipment" all week long. I got one from SSC this week and it never scanned at an ISC at all. I had it sent registered this time. Mega fast 3 business days. (Yes, I had to sign for it.) After doing some research on the USPS they are not required to scan anything except Express, Certified and Registered Mail. But then only Express is scanned at every hub, and the Express cost alot more. About like Fed-Ex or UPS. Curious, what will we do when the USPS closes?

Well I think fucking customs struck again! My order has been in Chicago since 3-4 and still nothing I've made a few orders and they always get here in 12-14 days. So if this 1 gets snagged I'm gonna be pissed. Do you guys thinks customs red flags names and addresses so you can't get another package? Have any of you guys gotten the replacement package?

I'm pretty sure ALL my orders come through Chicago. Out of six orders so far only one got snagged. I have another order should be here today updated last night showing it left Chic/ISC. One delivered yesterday never updated at all.

Received mine today 3/13 thru Chicago without any problems. 10 days from order date. USPS tracking worked as it is supposed to. Package went thru customs Sunday night late. Wonder if that makes a difference?

Any of you other guys from the Chi?
I'm not from the Chi but im also waiting for package that has been sent to Chi isc. However, I received a package before with no update not knowing where the pavkage was and found it in my box. Besides no worries here I make sure I always pay extra for stealth.

My question is, I work a 9-5 and work from home on days I expect packages. I'm not sure how i'm suppose to plan a work from home day if the tracking info doesn't update.

Do we need to sign for these packages? or do they drop it in your mailbox?

I got the stealth guarantee with a tshirt

My status hasn't changed :( I've already spent over 1k in grow tent setup... I can't wait anylonger :)

I get them shipped to me the same way every time. Had to sign about half of the time. Other times leaves them in box. The updating with the ISC is haphazard. My last shipment 2 weeks ago was updated accurately so go figure.
