My last purchase from the Boo was about 2-3 months ago and this past week I received my order with Green Tape and an empty package...Thoughts on my cover being blown at my Safe Addy for future purchases?????.... Should I order again to same address??

Exactly what I was thinking.... Damn!

Hopefully you didn't order in your real name.

Do not worry about it if you did not use your real name and order to your growsite. If you did then you need to honestly weigh the pros and cons of continuing where you are at. Do NOT order seeds again to the same location. I hope it all works out just please be safe brother

Ordering seeds from anywhere scares the fuck out of me...amazing what you can get from bagseed...or your mates.

The customs people have bigger fish to fry than to mount a team to raid/bust some kid who ordered 10 seeds to grow his own smoke. The odds of them finding another shipment is quite low. Millions and millions of packages/letters come into the country every day. Millions of "things" are confiscated every day. Don't sweat it.

Didnt order in my name or my location, sent to my "Safe Addy"....

Ever noticed the little bar code under the address of every piece of mail coming from (especially) an international location?

I guess not.

Because then you would know that's where the whole address field is being encrypted in by an automated system.

And that's also how a "suspicious" address is being flagged in case it pops up again.

 

[SOTF420]

When you send anything it is scanned in by a reader on the mail line and there is a database of illicit addresses and that data is stored and potentially used for data mining I'm sure of it. Don't want to scare anyone but you need to definitely be using a safe addy and not your personal name that is just ordering seeds 101 for anyone reading this and thinking about doing so. Many of us have ordered many seeds for many years and never had a problem but if you do have an issue you need the trail to not end up back to you so that is why you must have a safe addy and do it incognito as much as possible. Even in med states it is possibly a problem getting seeds from overseas although they rarely if ever follow up on intercepted mail unless it's done over & over. This is a plant here though and they are seeds not fucking bombs although you can make seed bombs with them for planting!

Basically, once any form of contraband is discovered, the address is then black listed in different categories, based on what was found. Large amounts of drugs etc, are put on different lists, compared to smaller personal amounts along with things like seeds etc. Either way the address has been black listed, just with different degrees.

Here is some interesting info.

"There is not a person assigned to watching your address or anything like that. But international shipments to your address might be scrutinized closer and more often. It depends on what was found in the first seizure. If it was a personal amount of prescription drugs then you won't be flagged the same as someone who received a pound of hashish."

"If a package suspected of containing drugs is intercepted, then it is weighed, photographed, and dusted for prints immediately. Then, the inspectors attempt to open the package in such a way that will allow them to reseal it unbeknown to the recipient. This process is photographed and/or recorded on video, as is the field test for narcotics once the contents are exposed. Fingerprints are taken from the inside as well at that point. Look/feel-alike substances are then placed back into the package and it is resealed in such a way that most of you could never tell it was opened. Controlled delivery commences from there. This only takes place with packages that contain large amounts of contraband- I never saw it done to a letter with a few pills inside."

"The intercepts I saw were usually regular first class mail. The premium types of post result in the package spending less time with the post office, which is a good thing."

i do see a lot of posts from those who buy seeds regular, and aren't too worried with the green tape delivery
not advising you to shrug it off, but if your safe address was really safe, i.e. a LEO knock and talk is doable with minimum risk
then you may still have a working setup

 

[growshopfrank]

perhaps give the vendor a heads up about the seizure, they may want to change return address to minimize these glitches

 

[Bazooka Joe]

I wonder why it took them around 3 months to forward it back my way hmmmmm... Has anyone ever had the green tape and ordered back to the same address to receive their goods the next time around??....

 

[powerrobbie]

Dude....NO. Why the fuck would anyone on here be stupid enough to re order to the same address and why the fuck have you asked it twice now? Everyone is going to tell you the same thing...NO dont do it. That address has now been flagged and I wouldn't be surprised if every piece of mail going to that address is now under scrutiny. Why are you so intend on ordering to the same address? Haven't you heard of a P.O box? You can rent them in a lot of places for a couple bucks a month. In the major city closest to my home there's many shady "mail box rental" places that dont even ask you for ID.

Because he does not like the answers given.

Ppl generally look for assurance based on their wishful thinking and not necessarily what the safest option is.

 

[walt cunningham]

is the green tape what they use to re-seal the packages after they are opened?

Yes, in most cases that's what it is.

Sometimes you might get a different color though but there's always been a note left inside.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

please refer to case number... yikes!

 

[Bazooka Joe]

I received no note or a letter from customs, just the green tape to seal it back up...
