No it's US tax time and all the taxes are coming in from overseas. So customs is probably a tad backed up. Oddly though it's just one of those things you can't tell. I had one order sit in customs 3 weeks same exact type of package that I purchased April 6th and arrived yesterday (4/15)!

So hang in there they usually arrive.

Chicago is hip to seeds,bad port to enter,sorry but you will get a letter saying they're confiscated

Still too early to worry. Also, Herbies
has better packaging than many other
places.

Happy to hear that...Im waiting for mine to come to Aus from Herbies...Only ordered on the 12th so no need to bet worried...Yet

Thanks for replies,its my 1st order.hope its paranoia and not confiscation.

I had a similar situation. Stuck in customs for several days (6 total), but was delivered intact yesterday.

2 questions 1) did yall use your real names when ordering 2)did you pay with a bank card linked directly to you, or did u us one of the walmart cards??? becaus this just seems iffy to me but i gotta get some good seeds im just about out!!

My order from the tude shipped a week ago. It was a big order. Hoping next week. Royalmail said its in the USA. It was my first online order. I get the whole nervous thing but just go for it. Enjoy it.

I don't like having seeds sent to the place I'm growing.
I had my identity stolen using a credit card at a seedbank.

Real name. Bank card. Using a fake name on the mailings can throw up red flags. I actually had a PO box back in the day. The PO box was opened under a fake name and at the time I was using a p p c c under the same fake name. Now with Amazon, Ebay, e t c. There is so much traffic to and from my place and to and from my b a n k cards that it just blends in.

Care to say which seedbank.

It happened at sannies b/c he uses sagepay but it also happens at attitude and can happen not only with any seedbank but any online transaction really, especially overseas transactions.
My card company caught it b/c they're on the ball but basically someone tried to buy 3k worth of stuff a couple of days after I used the card to buy seeds.
When I researched the matter I found that sagepay has had a lot of problems with stolen card #'s.

About sending seeds to your house. Yes it's convienent but the postman knew I was getting something I shouldn't be getting and it made me paranoid. Postmen like to talk and if you live in a small town who know's who they're talking to. It's prepaid cards and sending to a friends mailing addresses for me from here on out. It's just not worth it.

My postman seems to busy and tired to care. I get so many packages that my only worry is NY customs.
