My sister believes that. She thinks it was a scam from the start because it was sealed with packing tape instead of green tape, and because my name and address were lower case on the confiscation letter. I don't know exactly what I believe right now, but I do feel suspicious.
It was mostly stuff like some Afghan Kush, Strawberry Arjan, Purple Pineberry, Cotton Candy, and some Pyramid Purple autoflowering. I was mostly trying new things you never see around here; I'm still learning what I like. When I was a kid I would occasionally smoke whatever was around when I was with my friends, but then when I got sick, I noticed Afghan Kush and purples seemed to help more than unnamed dealer buds, so I was exploring purples and flavors. They're not open until tomorrow, so hopefully they'll make it right.
They had Chocoloco as a freebie too, and I tried one bud of it once as a gift from a friend and loved it but was unable to find more around here. (And it's very dry at the moment locally.) My eyes got bigger than my brain when I saw how many I could get for free as my order grew.

Nah, it is really customs. If seeds banks wanted they'd just keep your money and say they shipped it without sending any letter, at least that is what seeds boutique did to me back in 2008. Typically it gets green tape but a buddy of mine in the midwest sent a friend seeds in California and got a similar type note inside with the letter just taped back up, seeds gone of course.

I was an English major before I got sick, so I use all kinds of random, bizarre, and/or uncommon words occasionally, haha.
I am in the US, I suppose it doesn't give too much away to say I'm in the Kansas City-ish (around an hour away) area, but usually I just say Midwest.

It's not uncommon for UK companies to ship beans from spain, or at least I've read that so I could be mistaken.

I believe notso is right. In fact I think attitude/choice is doing this now. Probably too many packages getting nabbed, so they're switching it up a bit

I had two family friends recommend it, and apparently one of them got a package this year exactly like mine from Spain, but with seeds actually inside hidden in a semi-stealthy way. It contained something my package absolutely didn't, but I don't know if mine had the same stealth packing or not.

Great info, I am also a new grower looking for the best place to find premium seeds. I am leery of ordering from UK and being intercepted, was thinking of Provision in Canada. Would love a good US source...checking out NGR now. I can also trade if anyone wants some bag seeds lol

Yea I did. They had some of the best stealth I have seen. Took longer than usual to get to me and I had to sign for the package at the post office as they missed me at home. I had visions of the DEA swooping down on me as I walked out with my contraband. hehe I am in cali with medical card so I can afford to be somewhat relaxed but in other places I would have really been sweating.

Hi Dude...rather unfortunate your seeds were seized.I hope they destroyed it as they claim.lol.Some african guy discreetly packs and posts me quality seeds and native strains to Maryland.I wouldn't order anything from SSC or within US.So consider looking elsewhere !

From TSSC.
The Single Seed Centre
No, we are still shipping from the UK using Royal Mail.
My reply;
Thanks, a buddy told me he placed an order from TSSC and it came via Spain, thought it was very strange. Tks
TSSC reply: Hi **** . That definitely won't be from us, it must be an order from another company.

I didn't realize until this morning that you were talking about TSSC, I ordered my seeds from the original Sensible Seed Company. I am so sorry for the confusion, I had the busiest week I've had in years, and had to drive 400-ish miles each way Friday to see a specialist so my brain has been fried all weekend, I apologize for adding to the confusion.

Yeah, I won't be making any orders from them again. I just don't feel good about how mine got here compared to what I expected.
I'll be honest with you, I didn't even know that a U.S. option was even a possibility when I made this order. I don't live in a medical state, and don't have any friends or local connections with access to seeds. Most of the bag seeds I accumulated wouldn't germinate.
My experience probably isn't the most common, I was just really sick one day and in a ton of pain and my sister's boyfriend offered me a joint. It made all the difference in the world. He lives on the east coast now, and I only have one local connection, so growing is going to be my best option. Plus, with my limited income, growing is MUCH more reasonable financially for me. I just got too excited to order without doing proper research, I guess. The fact that two people I know in real life recommended it gave me a lot of confidence, so maybe mine was a fluke.

No worries, I knew something wasn't right when I saw how it was sent.... Good luck going ahead....

Well, I heard back from original-SSC.com and they said they would be applying 50% of the order total (minus shipping) to my store credit, and they were sorry my package was intercepted.
My family continues to believe it was a fix from the get-go.
