where do you ship your seeds

I have 2 locations to ship them to. One is the place where ill be growing them another is a separate location. Well the separate location has not received 2 orders i placed. One of the places is reshipping it to me but now im thinking of trying the other location. Is it a big NO to have it shipped to were your grow is going to be at?

why, no, of course not! i'm certain that the nice customs officer that caught the others will just ignore these, & lose your address somehow. KIDDING! i know a few folks that do exactly what you are proposing, never been any problems. but, is it REALLY worth the risk? are you willing to make it easier for some jack-booted thug to find you and "extract societies vengeance" for exposing yourself?

I've done it, quite a while ago, though I wouldn't recommend it, very nerve racking, and has the potential to end badly. I had no other place to send em without letting someone know what was going on, if you have another addy, please, send them there. I doubt your safe addy is causing your seeds to disapear, just unlucky, 3rd times a charm they will make it.

My friends ship their seeds to my house first...so if the seed company records get seized, the cops come to my house and they don't find a grow.

Obviously when I grow...I can't offer them this favour.

I go to the post office a couple of time per week to forward them onwards.

The biggest risk seems to be at the point of entry into a country....once inside, the risk is much less (I think).

I would get them sent somewhere else... I'm sure you would be fine sending them to where you grow, but like stated earlier "is it worth the risk?".
I'd rather send them to a friend or relatives house, then pick them up from there.

IMO shipping beans to the place of your grow is not very smart. especially if security is a high priority.
get a p.o box. or send them to your grandmas house, or another inconspicuous relative.

I've been heavily researching this subject for about a week now as I am coming up on my first seed order. It seems like the consensus is not to do it, but I see a lot of experienced growers who don't seem to worry about it too much.

My logic tells me this, you can give your thoughts: I don't think, if you've never been green taped, that the cops are gonna come beat down your door for one order- IF you have never gotten the tape before to that address, with the same alias, etc. The only instance I found on here of a seed bust was that Dr. in Ohio who had gotten the green tape nine times, sent them all to his commercial sized operation and refused to quit ordering seeds to the operation despite NINE warnings.

Are you a commercial grower? Do you sell pot at all? Are you talking about a 250w personal stash or some rubbermaids or a fuckin two bedroom setup?

Maybe those things don't make a difference, but I think they add and subtract from your likelihood of getting caught. One other big thing is location; do you live in the midwest or live somewhere that your mail is going to go through the Chicago hub? It's my understanding these fuckers are super snoops and find seeds all the time.

You're always trading one aspect of security for another, remember with a safe addy that you are sacrificing your biggest secret.

My main thought to share here though- you are taking the opinions of a bunch of people on here. Granted, some educated ones. Make sure before putting too much stock into a person's thoughts that you see where they're from-THC123 is probably a super in-the-know dude, but I don't think he even lives in the US! Good luck man!

I had lost everything to a nasty power outage, and needed to get something together quick, I had seeds delivered to the grow, and purchased with c.c. in my name. This was quite some time ago, and I dont grow anymore(WIFE), so I think I am safe. Again, I wouldn't recommend this but it is possible. That said, if they did happen to get confiscated, it would have shut me down, for I would have been to paranoid to continue, is that a risk you are willing to take.

A question for a question.....If they are sent to your house and for some reason you get busted can you/are you willing to do the time? Your answer to this question is the answer to your question. :smokey:

It's very safe to use your own credit card and order directly to the grow house, unless you have really bad luck or you're placing a massive order.

That being said, if you don't want ANY risks, then I advise shipping elsewhere. Speak to your local mom and pop shops about accepting packages for you (say you'll be out of town). Some will do it without requiring you to have a PO box with them (getting one requires providing 2 forms of ID.)

!!! is a great band. What leads you say it's so safe with your own CC? I'd be willing to do that rather than mess with international post.

.....at the USPS or the UPS Store
Exactly
Or postnet.

Or, if you really want to save money, go to the ghetto check cashing places, a lot of them offer mailbox service, and WAAAYYYYY cheaper then the ups store.
$7 a month at the one by me.
 
i have placed few orders here and there in the past. i had an order sent to a safe addy and also to a ups store with there mail boxes services.
