Same here. Three packages from attitude, lost in the spirit world. No letter from customs. I then ordered from Herbies using a different address......Success!
Attitude order confiscated in Chicago, but did not include a letter, only a note

What's so specifically special about Indiana? Are you saying they (ISP) raided you based on a confiscated seed order alone?

Update: finally received my attitude reship! I got it sent to a different address. It made it through customs. Total turnover time was about maybe 7-10 days. That's pretty good. Only problems I have with the reship was that from what it looks like they didn't use any stealth shipping at all. There was just seeds in the package, no shirt or anything. I'm surprised that could make it through but the stealth wouldn't smh. Wow how backwards is that. But I feel like I got ripped off out of a shirt tho 
it looks like they are legit to do business with still but they should shorten the 21 business day policy to just 21 days period.
And and oh to the guy who got raided. It most likely wasn't cuz of your seeds. They were probably just watching u and investigating. Maybe power use tipped em off. Or maybe a neighbor or anon informant. But u shouldn't get seeds sent to ur grow setup home anyways

'Tude has came through for me... mine was stealth just mixed things up a bit... Sat forever in the cold is my only fear... in Chicago during record lows... anyone think the seeds are ruined? Obviously can't discuss with them...

the beans are fine. grow them or store them.
You are supposed to store seeds in cold weather... it's hot and humid that you should be worried about

Well that's great news then! Just knowing that we hit sub-zero like 10 below and what-not I thought that might have been toooooo extreme on the cold.
What is considered ideal storage temp/humidity anyhow?

Some people store them in the freezer New, so your really fine...you know those bags that come with shoes and other stuff that keeps things dry, usually you stick one of those in with them. They can last for years in that way, obviously not 100% method 5-10 years later but it is probably one of the longest ways to store seeds.
Most people storing for a year to 5 years just put them in an air vac container, seeds that are older than 2-3 years will of course have lower germination rates but people have still had 100% success rate with those, depends how good the seeds were to start with.
Attitude have sent my order out again so I am currently waiting to see what comes of it, I asked them to use a method that has been successful with herbies but like you said

, I don't have much faith in their ability to actually bother shipping things properly. I told them how to stealth it, what sort of mailing to use, and they totally ignored my mailing request (regular international mail with airsure tracking no signature required), instead they sent it another way with no tracking also, so if it gets here I will be very surprised. Day 5 now so going to give it another 5-10 days before I figure this one isn't coming either. What I find interesting is that without tracking how can I believe they even sent it...they could just be stating that, so we will see.

Herbies is going to be my seed company of choice from now on I think, first order came in 7 days and was well stealthed and no issues at all, good seeds high germination rates.

My Attitude reship arrived today. Everything was there. It went through Chicago ISC on a Saturday.
Thanks Attitude for sending my order again! If you're in the midwest get the guarantee in case the first ship gets snagged in Chicago.

sorry to hear bro. I'm in Colorado too but my order made it last month. Attitude has never failed me but I'm hesitant to order the sin city beans I've been wanting. Might check out herbies or one of the others
My order went through la customs with no issues. I like attitude and not too fond of ordering from anyone else except sannie. Think I'm gonna roll the dice.

howdy friend. crimpz that is a good question. its funny that you ask because most things shipped from overseas used to usually go through New York City customs on the east coast and Either LA or some other place in Califas on the west coast. Oddly enough, for whatever reason, either recently or it could be going on for a couple years now, im not sure as I do not order from overseas enough to keep update, but all orders arriving on the east coast have bene going through ISC (customs) in Chicago now. I am not sure whether it was a change made to the entire U.S. customs, a change made in New York or one in Chicago, but as of at least recently (2013 until present) almost if not all orders have been going through ISC (customs) in Chicago...Again, im not entireley sure why this was done, it could be maybe anything that is going to the northeast/midwest is now going through chi-town and anything south and southeast/west is going through new york, it would certainly make sense but honestly the u.s. govt. isnt exactly the best at making sense so honestly there is no way to tell...but as stated before, as I can see right now, at least for the foreseeable future, most if not all customs will be going through chicago, so either way be prepared and take necessary steps to avoid trouble.
A couple tips/things you can do to make it easier on yourself? first off, if you notice either here or other sites that tracks this type of stuff is happening more or more frequently, then maybe delay ordering seed sif they arent absolutely necessary. i understand sometimes people like to order durig sales but remember that LE can see these sales to, so if they decide to they could step up custom checks around the time/days that the sales are going on and would be easy pickings for them if they knew what to look for ( and they do )...
If you have to absolutley order then make sure you get the guarentee thru attitude. I know it costs extra and it could be pretty pricey, i think over 20 bucks more last time i checked but, its worth it if you spend 2-3-400 dollar on seeds and they dont arrive, especiually multiple times. not to mention in reality, its pennies on the dollar especially for people who cant get ahold of good genetics any other way.
Another good tip also is to instead of making one single order with hundreds or a thousand dollars, break up orders into one or two hundred dollar orders, or even smaller if you want. the more baskets you put your eggs into the less harm that will come to you if one or more particular baskets break, if you know what I mean.
If you get the letter and green tape and it clearly shows through tracking that your order didnt arrive in the correct state, i can almost guarentee that the attitude will honor their guarentee, i have seen isolated cases where this isnt true but IMO its few and far between and if you have nothing to hide or havent emailed them a dozen other times saying you ''lost'' seeds, they are happy to re-send and keep your business and good word of mouth, especially in an era where more and more USA states are getting friendlier with MMJ and rec MJ laws. I hope i helped some people and answered some uestions, if anyone does have a question that wasnt answered here please ,feel free to send me a personal message and i will respond when i get time.
I also want to add that I do not work for, sponser or advertise for attitude or any other seedbank in any way, while they may advertise here or whatever, i have nothing to do with that in terms of being a Mod and you can take this post as MY personal opinion and word on the matter, not rollitup's. mod or not i personally use attitude to order any genetics i get from a seedbank and have done well before and after ive been a Mod here. Not to mention there are PLENTY of other good, reliable and reputable seedbanks out there, and more and more are springing up inside the US of A (which I personally support very much)...I beleive all americans should buy american made if they can and I would myself if I was able to find a reputable site, and if I ordered seeds anymore freuently, which honestly I really dont. I have gotten my genetics I wanted and then have started making my own and/or carrying on genetic lines in that regard...Which honestly is the best and most important tip of all (in my opinion)
I apologize for the long read and the wall of text. The way I see it is if I can save one or more people from losing their seeds, their money and most importantly the desire to grow their own medicine for the benefit of themselves while not making cartel drug dealers richer, well then I did my job and was worth a book...I hope everyone has a wonderful and warm night/day. its cold out there. Love others and love yourself
PEACE
