Who's had seeds confiscated?

My order from Dr. Chronic was intercepted recently by customs in Chicago. This was my first time ordering and I'm wondering if I should try another order. I'm a bit paranoid, thinking my name is on some customs "watch list" or some shit, so I'm not sure what to do. Common sense tells me just forget about it, but I'd rather not settle for just growing bagseed.

Has anyone here been brave enough to order seeds again, even after getting orders intercepted? Let's hear your experiences.

In short....

NOTICE OF REMOVAL

"This shipment contained item(s) that were determined to be an illegal importation. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has the responsibility to intercept and seize illegal items when they are attempted to be brought into the U.S. by any means."

The letter then goes on to list Schedule 1 Controlled Substances...
Marijuana, hash, LSD, smack, coke, etc.

"These items are considered contraband and are immediately forfeited to the United States."

I wonder what they do with the confiscated seeds? I wonder how many of them get "lost?"

I'm sure they'd find thousands of that shit all the time, there's probably too many to name to worry about keeping a database of offenders. Most likely they're just interested in getting rid of it and possibly finding out details of the sender if they get a lot of seeds coming through from that company all the time. BUT they can't just think you're growing illegally either, they just don't want more marijuana in the country. I'd say not to worry about it, you should be safe to order again but maybe from a different provider?

This is just speaking from my own opinion though, I don't know how the rules of customs apply. Maybe someone else will be able to clear it up for you...

So...back to my original question.

U.S. Customs just got my Early Misty seeds from Nirvana this week. They sent me the Nirvana package with the free wallet but no seeds. Also a letter from boarder protection saying that my seeds were confiscated and my package scanned.. Case number (the whole nine). All I ordered were 10 seeds... Good thing I used a different name.... That was my first time buying from Nirvana. Discount cannabis seeds - marijuana (weed) seeds are pretty good. I get my stuff from them all the time.

Hey all, noob here. Saw this post and had to respond with my experience...

I ordered some lowryder from the Dr. about 8 months (before he changed his site and said no more u.s. shipping) ago. A few days later, I decided to go ahead and order some white widow and hashberry. Well, a week goes by and I get my order of white widow and hashberry, but the lowryder disappeared! About 3 weeks later, I got the envelope that had been opened (customs tape on the outside showing it was opened) and you could see where the plastic seed disk was, but it was gone. Enclosed was the form letter (looked like it was copied hundreds of times) with a case # saying Chicago customs took them. But, like I said, I did receive the 2nd package.

Now, what bothers me with Dr. is that he sends them all the same way, and if you know what you are looking for, you can tell by the outside of the envelope that there is something inside. (The plastic disk he packages them in is very noticeable from the outside of the envelope after it has gone through the mail. Like I said, I could tell exactly where the disk WAS in the one that got confiscated.) That is problem #1. Problem #2 is he uses a fake return name, but uses his real (I assume) return address. I imagine his address is flagged at customs and all they need to know is that return address to know what is probably inside... (And I requested a "stealth" delivery!)

But, I was 1 for 2 and the ones I DID get were amazing. 100% germ rate, but I will probably find a different source as I think the Dr. is too "hot" right now with US customs. (Like I said, he uses the same return address on both of my packages.)

Good luck!!

Prosperous...thanks for that reply. And your first post to boot! Welcome.

That's the kind of information people need to read about. I'm not knocking the good doctor, but one really has to wonder about his stealth tactics. My envelope from him was much the same way as you described. You could clearly make out where the disk was inside. And there were smudge marks on the outside as if someone or something has passed a device over the envelope.

Yep, same here.... I had some shipped from Germany from a friend that used a TOTALLY stealth technique that I doubt would ever be caught. But, I don't wanna post how publicly...! If you are interested, PM me and I'll tell ya!
