Seedbay - seedboutique, how to pay?

[shaunmulok]

i went to get a WU money order and they were going to charge more than the auction was worth and it now says on the seedbay order form to send cash for payments under $75usd otherwise just get an aus post money order made out to S.B.N but i just send cash and save the $4 and use that to pay for registered international post never had a problem
and make sure you use www.xe.com to convert usd to AU $ and write down the conversion rate and time that is under the conversion and dont forget to add the 5usd for postage

The problem is, is that there is no guarantee of cash getting there. I'm safer sending a money order, the order is about 150, is it possible to use western union int'll money order? (do seedbay and seed boutique accept it)?

If not, how do people here send cash? without it either getting lost in the mail or being stolen?
Thnx, Poon.

 

[shaunmulok]

if you send cash send it via registered post that means they have to sign for it no tampering, you can get an Australia Post Money Order for around $4
But if you do send cash put it inside another envelope or fold it inside a piece of paper and seal the ends with tape so it is no way visible then into envelope with seedbay order form

From seedbay help section
7. What kind of Money order will I need?

All types of money orders are accepted and are to be in USD $. You are not required to send an 'international' money order, it can be regular or international. You can obtain a money order from the many places such as Wal-Mart, 7-11, The Cheque Cashing Store, almost all convenience and grocery stores. Money orders are commonly used in certain regions, if you do not have a money order supplier in your region you will need to send cash.

14. Can I pay in a currency other than USD?

Yes, we also accept UK pounds sterling, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Australian dollars. Please refer to www.xe.com to convert the USD amount into your local currency for submittal.

hey squiggles, just wonderin,

with the purple panama, do you by chance know or have an idea as to how many of the plants actually have the purple trait, or is it just the same as the original panama, with a higher chance of hitting the purple pheno?

thnx, poon.

 

[Squiggles]

chances of the purple are quite high with this one mate
both parents from what i can gather are purple. though i have only seen pics of the mother

if you want a more detailed description hit up dubi,
in the ace seeds forum mate,

apart from the colour
it has a longish flowering period 10-14 weeks which is why i chose it
the purple being a bonus
living in the sub-tropics it gives me more bang for my buck so too speak

 

[poonsico]

Thanks for the help everyone, much appreciated!
Last little Q? what is the best way to put the money in an envelope so that people do not nknow what is in there and pinch it (being detected n' shit by machines)?
Some here say envelope or piece of paper, is there anything more secure?, and what do you put on the customs deceleration form? gift?

Thanks in advance.

 

[shaunmulok]

i use an international express post envelope which is made of stiff cardboard i have my order cash in a normal envelope and just put that inside the express envelope it is sealed and then registered cost about $13. cant see through the cardboard

 

[poonsico]

Thanks Shaun, but what do you put on the customs deceleration form? (the small green form) the description, and the purpose (gift, payment, etc)....

 

[Squiggles]

id put promo materials or gift on the decrelation mate

 

[poonsico]

awesome, thanks mate.

squiggs, have you heard of purple #1 from dutch passion, seems reasonably priced, and has a nice description. If so whats your take on it?

[shaunmulok]

did have to fill out anything with the international express document envelope you just sign on the back declaring no dangerous goods

Just go to your local ANZ and setup a Visa debit card. Put as much money as you need to purchase the seeds onto the card and use that. Simple... and much more secure than sending cash overseas.

Mate, it is simple ,get an express international envelope from PO .they are cardboard,nice and secure, print copy of your order stick that and the cash into envelope and post.this has never failed for me.click AUD for the price in aussie dollars. its all to easy Good Luck

yep, Int Express works for me too. Three days to US & Canada,and has always arrived. If I'm sending significant cash registered is only $12.50 from AU to anywhere...cheap insurance, but it's a slower service. Up to ten days to Spain.

I just paid with a debit card a few weeks ago(on the boo)..By tyhe way,I only bought 2strains(WL Doublegum and Nirvana Bubblelicious) and the sent me 20 freebies 10xTHUNK and 10xOHxskunk1....nice

 

[poonsico]

Nice!
i wonder whether it is easier to get seeds into one state over another....?
are there any states i.e. (Qld, Wa,Vic, Sa)? whereby it is really hard to get them into?
anyone know?

Hi everyone, first post.

I've ordered from seedsman, didn't get them! So I wouldn't recommend them.

I received my Sboo order yesterday. Mandala #1 and 10 original haze x skunk1 freebies! I can't wait to get them both going! The haze is going to be awesome! However I won't be doing a big grow this year. I hope 3 beans of each will get me at least one female each.

Does anyone know of a detailed smoke report of the o. haze x skunk1? Ive done a lot of searching but can only find short smoke reports...

[poonsico]

hey, eexpee awesome, which area of AUS did you manage to have them arrive in?
poon.

 

[eexpee]

NSW, east coast.
I found the smoke report I was looking for BTW
Love the BO!
