sometimes taking them out of breeders packs will help them hide the seeds a bit better.. some breeders use some big ass things, like small tin cans to put their beans in.. while i personally love that sort of packing, it does make it hard to get through customs that way..
umm, i'm not sure of sea of seeds, but a lot of places wil have a guarantee delivery, if you don't get them, they will reship them.. i'm not sure how this works for sos, but sometimes normal shipping will eliminate the guarantee is all.. now i think the atttitude will ship them plain, but keep the guarantee. just read the fine print is all..
also, if you think your mail will come through chicago, just an fyi, chicago seems to be on to catching a lot of beans, but it seems most of them are from the attitude, but not all of them, some do come from other banks as well..
