Seems alot of banks are taking steps that will make us u know what growers scared but the reason imo is legit alot of people are making big orders then calling there cc for fraud charges so they get all that gear for free tbh i woukd be more comfortable sending my info overseas then to usa banks who could rat u out more easily but there are plenty usa banks these days and banks that dont do that or have other less scam likely payment methods

If the transaction is in USD it gets cleared and is investigatable by the US regardless of where the transaction took place.

Easily as in a usa bank vendor can get busted with your info nobody has been busted before by irdering overseas even with getting green tape with your name amd address on the box all im saying is i doubt overseas vendors are looking to rat out usa customers who are honest

Fuck that. Use a 3rd party if you must. I was actually looking to order some 'blue mystic' from the attitude to try and breed a low odor berry hybrid using plushberry. Who knows what they want that info for.

It takes a real scum-fucker to have the lack of conscience to do this. Nirvana always offers great pricing(even if the genetics are geared towards yields rather than potency), it's not like you lose a ton of money when the seeds wind up bunk, and I've never had this issue with nirvana, they're seeds have been very fruitful from my experience.

nirvana has always delivered for me also—nothing but good things to say about them as a company, but I just don’t understand the need for this obscure request—the email states “information regarding this request is found on the website”, but I’ve been unable to locate this anywhere. I’ve requested information on this request— we’ll see if they respond.

I've never heard of anyone in the US ever get their grow area busted out because of ordering seeds regardless if it was American or European. I mean how are police forces in illegal states going to get information from a seed bank in a legal state even if that seed bank did get busted? It's not like police go sending out emails to all departments in America every time they make a bust.

They can easily go through there order history or emails they dint gotta send anything this aint the 80s everything has data in technology see who orders the most or spends the most see what city there in if its legal there very simple stuff overseas authority aint concerned with the states but over here even its legal its still federally illegal and most seed vendors have some participation in the weed industry more then jist seeds anybody can be made an example of by uncle sam

And it aint the state police busting grows most of the time its the feds so if u think theyre not sharing information to bust grow ops across the country if you spend thousands in seeds often im sure youll raise some flags if the banks were to get busted with your information

Bruh i dont watch nothing ive been arrested from simple police and they connect the dots with who youve been pulled over with who has been locked up in the same area within the community and thats just the hood if u think feds dont do things like that on a higher scale to bust people then idk what to tell u even if its legal in the state the feds can just bust people easily from just buying seeds lol u might not think so but if those people are doing enough things to raise flags get there inventory taken u think it stops there? They will follow up with there associates who has bought the most and go from there ots an easy chain effect if u dont think so then thats u being to comfortable of course this is for the high scale illegal growers not your avg joes

And obviously u dont get arrested from just buying seeds they wait til they catch u with the most evidence but it all starts from something homie u say i watch csi too much u must think police actually just gets lucky and bust people with mad weight it dont work like that lol

People been sending cash or money order since the first seed bank opened.
Deal with reputable people and you won't have problems 99 percent of the time. If you can't afford to lose it you shouldn't be buying... cc is more trouble than its worth. Chuck the cash in an envelope and send it off like millions before you I say.

Come on now. You just listed real reasons people get busted and ordering seeds ain't one of those reasons.

Ordering seeds ain't nothing to the cops and feds when they can just follow people with records already. Like you said, if someone already has a record or got caught slipping they done fucked up and the jumpout boys are already coming.

Once authorities have a reason to watch somebody they look at shit like your credit card statements and then they might see a seed purchase but by that time they already know you're into some shit.

All I'm getting at is if the cops, or by slight chance the "feds", are looking at seed purchases then you're already fucked because odds are by that time they already got you for some controlled purchases and have a warrant to be creeping in your credit card bills and shit.

Just because I've never been busted doesn't mean I've never played the game. I just never had a reason to bring attention to myself.

they do this for chargeback reasons. same reason most us banks dont take cards too. order a bunch of gear, and then call cc company and say someone stole your card info. get refund and beabs for free.

picture of card is to prove you made purchase, na dcant allege you were phished or card scammer got ur info.

Would it be easier to buy bitcoin then pay with bitcoin?
I've only ordered from Canadian seed banks

Yeah but, no but.

WHAT???
