Maybe us Canadians are just lucky when it comes to seeds arriving successfully. This is 5 packages that all arrived successfully just this week from the UK, US, Canada. Shipping seeds anywhere is not a problem that I've ever experienced. If people are worried try not putting a return address or the person's real name.

gotta say as somebody who ships things a lot of the time, you are giving out some HORRIBLE advice right now.
From USPS: First-Class® letters and parcels and Express Mail® are protected against search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, and, as such, cannot be opened without a search warrant. If there is probable cause to believe the contents of a First-Class Mail letter or parcel or an Express Mail pieceviolate federal law, Postal Inspectors can obtain a search warrant to open the mailpiece. Other classes of mail do not contain private correspondence, and therefore may be opened without a warrant.

First-Class Mail includes:

First-Class Mail Cards – the least expensive, most immediate way to reach someone.
First-Class Mail Letters – the everyday letter mail. Affix a stamp, and drop it in the mailbox.
First-Class Large Envelopes – mail lots of material in large envelopes.
First-Class Mail Packages – Letters, envelopes, and small packages weighing 13 ounces or less.
Presorted First-Class Mail – use it for high volume business mail.
Priority Mail® - Cost effective delivery in an average of 2-3 days

Really some garbage advice you're handing out that could actually lead to people in trouble. SHIP YOU SHIT PRIORITY/FIRST CLASS and use REAL INFO. If you're really worried then dont be giving out your info to strangers on the internet for the promise of some free seeds.

Garbage advice was the first thing that came to mind when I read this reply. As someone that's sent packages to every continent successfully I can tell you express and priority packages require real names and a declaration of the contents which links the sender to the contents and package. Standard envelope and stamps still the best and cheapest way to send seeds successfully even with no return address and a provided name which may or may not be real. Had only one package not make it in 3 years and that was to South Africa.

Also they don't require a warrant to open priority packages since I've never heard of anyone getting a copy of said warrant in there poorly repacked and taped parcels arrive without their seeds. They xray all those packages and if the contents don't fit the declaration they open it.

Edit I've sent over 5000 seeds last year using my methods successfully. I'm over 1000 sent successfully this year so far.

I’ve personally had an order seized and that’s not how it works at all. You can absolutely choose to not need a signature when you pay for your shipping. Who gives a fuck about cheapest when safety is on the line? Glad your method works for you but it’s a clown method and you’re a clown for believing that.

International shipping is a whole different game than domestic. Other countries aren't bound by our laws. And even our customs service isn't when it comes to international inbound mail. They can legally search any package for any reason. Btw, the uscg doesn't need warrants either.

But the primary purpose for seizing inbound seeds is agriculture, not drug policy. Which is why they just throw them away. Now if they catch actual cannabis, or meth, or coke, or..., they will make a referral to the dea. But not so much for seeds.

Slow children playing must have been more than just a sign out front of your childhood home.

The cheapest method is the safest period. Filling out and signing a declaration removes any hope of plausible deniability for you or the recipient if caught.
Also I'm not sure why a signature changes anything it's just a hassle for the recipient has nothing to do with safety at all.

Who gives a fuck about the cheapest method, well I do since the last OG Server Fund raiser I sold 3400 plus seeds and paid the shipping. Anything tracking and priority would have been 26 dollars a package and that's in Canada out of Canada those packages would have been well over $30 so what I shipped out for 137 dollars in stamps would have been over a thousand dollars easily. Not to mention the hours wasted filling out declarations at the post office.

You're wrong and have no fucking clue about shipping seeds so up your dosage of hormones, level out and fuck off.

Anyone hear anything about or any rumors that Bodhi was coming out with some new packaging? I would support it if it is true. A little something to ward off fake and phonies. I think a dime bag baggie and gold sticker works but it would be nice to see some more legit professional packaging of sorts.

IDK how his genetics are now, but in 2016 Lavender was one of the absolute worst strains I have ever grown in my life lol. Nothing lavender about it, very little vigor, fussy nutrients, didnt like to be directly under the lights but off in a corner....just to harvest and not find a pheno that had any distinct flavor or any real potency. Not for nothing, they were not exactly cheap beans back then either. I hope you find better luck than I did mate!

Yes... he DOES have new packaging and I love it too, for the reasons you mention. I'm not really set up to post a pic for you but you should be able to find one. The new ones are sealed up and look nice. Some are still coming in the dope bags but I think he's switching over with new stuff. I actually got a pack of ASS in the new packaging.

edit: Other ones I have with new packaging are Amrita and Nigerian Space Probe

Well, I got bit by the CG bug. 2/3 packs were on my bucket list.

Chris' response to my inquiry about whether my other packs are duds too.

"We have only had a couple complaints from the hundreds of packs sold. they are older seeds. they are sold as collectables. we have no idea what will happen with them. they were all sold below market value. we see you placed your order in July 2019. today is February 19, 2020. best of luck!"

As if seeds only last a few months stored properly chilled with dessicants. I just got 7/7 to vigorously crack open side by side with my Black Triangles and they are one-offs from GGG from 2013!
It appears they are saving the collectable breeder packs and refilling them?

Not the first time I've been bit. I've also dug deep into my personal seed stash only to have a recipient say they never received anything (even though tracking confirms it arrived) and then not mail out on their end.

Unfortunately, there's still shade in the game and its not all puppies and rainbows. Lesson re-learned

So for shits and giggles I at least pulled out my Hazeman Elephant Stomper and Snow High Purple Mexican Thai to see if the seeds looks the same. Big difference and the Elephant really does not appear to have been opened. I wish that the same this about the Snow High seeds. The bag's opening appears stretched and they are the largest Thai seeds that I have ever seen.

Despite being way over my viable space quota I am going to drown all 20 just to prove a point. I really hope that for human's loving-kindness sake that I am wrong.
