Seeds Seized, Got Customs Form, Freaking Out.

[SOTF420]

The doctor kept ordering them in his name with a credit card If I recall, he was asking for it

Title explains everything. I ordered seeds from somewhere other than seedbay/boutique, and I got the dreaded customs form. The form was from Chicago, a long way from my state. I know the general consensus is to ignore it and not do anything rash like tearing everything down, but I'm still freaking out. Should I just keep on with my little 250w grow? It says on the form "no further correspondence wil be issued to you"

Also has anyone in the US ever been busted due to ordering seeds? I vaguely remember a doctor who had seeds seized multiple times(or maybe just once) and him being a dick to cops helped in getting himself busted. And there's that recent Australia story.

I also think of the GH flora bloom nutes that were opened in the mail I guess due to being an undeclared/unknown liquid and wonder if that flags me as a grower. What if they were opened by the same place? They were in transit around the same time. Customs only deals with foreign countries right?

Sorry for all the anal questions but I'm really feeling like my name and avatar right now.

Don't worry about it. Do not order any more grow supplies (seeds, nutes, lights, bulbs, poly, etc.) to your grow address and do not use your real name. EVER!

If it makes you feel better, chop the grow and break down the hardware. I personally don't think you need to, but if it helps you sleep at night, then abort the grow.

@OrganicOzarks, WTH were you ordering that caused Customs to come knocking?

I can not say what it was, but I can say that there are about 6500 stores in the U.S. that sells them legaly.

some of you can knock off the dumb talk cause fyi, the first two orders i ever lost to u.s. postal/customs were from seedbay/bo so it can happen regardless of the vendor. and more have been lost since and yes, all international mail routed to me comes through the dreaded chicago station.

awhile back, along with your empty package and the letter from the postal authorities some of the seized mail also had this yellow tape boldly stamped homeland security in black ink. things were getting scary then but i have not heard of homeland security involved in recent history with any seed seizures?

imo, nothing more will come of this particular seizure unless one is stupid enough to try to reclaim the seized property? don't do it.

peace-biteme

Port of Chicago sucks. It's been that way for at least 15yrs. Have stuff sent to a west coast friend and then mailed to you.

Lesson 101 in growing.... Have shit sent to a safe address. Well atleast one your not growin at. Just my bit of pennies. To me its the only logical way. At the least your addy is flagged when something is seized. I think you should only be worried if it was a lot of seeds. Growing already makes u noid, so to me sending something to the spot is just an added headache. Do yourself a favor and get somewhere else to send your gear. It gives you one less thing to worry about
