Why no credit cards?

So I really want the new CBD seeds as well as others but bank transfers are a pain and credit cards aren’t accepted currently(having that trouble with other seed banks lately too). Ace’s FAQs say I can mail cash but I can’t find an address and when I try to check out mailing payment doesn’t come up as an option.

Any help?

1. Credit/Debit card. ( Temporary only for European Union )

2. Bank transfer.

3. Cash through registered mail.
Picked it up just now from their own site
An email might, does help
Had that problem(credit card payments)few times,and,I think it's my own bank's security,ie,some payments won't go through if "it" feels it's not secure enough

I don't get why some people find bank transfer a pain... Once the payee is saved in your bank app, how much pain in the ass is it to chose amount and put order id in comm. If it's not saved, you don't even have to put contact address or so. Only IBAN is actually useful.

I'm pretty sure it's actually faster than typing your debit or credit card number, registered name, expiration date and validate it with code/bank app, payee saved or not

What's the big deal in having to wait a few days for the payment to be received by Ace? I think sending money over mail is really a bad idea, takes as much time as bank transfer anyway.

Last time I did a bank transfer I had to go into the branch, my paranoia made me feel like they knew what I was ordering. I’ll have to see if my app has the ability they did just update it so maybe.

Good luck finding ace seeds website by looking up "ace web progress" on a search engine.

I don’t think there is anything to be paranoid about. Bank would need to see a warrant to give out anything about your account, transfer and so on. Unless there is a judge onto you, that’s not going to happen...

It's "mentality","stigma",some cultures have created around weed, won't even go to the bank because "people are watching".Me,I have no problem,or had with Ace Seeds.Actually was very pleased to find my local seed bank,have stocked/updated their catalogue with almost all of Ace goodies, whatever the cost for posting it to me!! Now 20 bucks is the problem

Keep your transactions under 5k and you're golden. In Canada, 5k and up gets reported to Fintrac and rcmp. It used to be 10k.

Thanks my friend.
Overcome the 'social" hurdles, order the seeds.An "excuse",negativity ,will show in your grow and it's not a "attack" to any person when I mention the 20 bucks transport cost
Quality costs, transport fees are high for your order to come securely to your doorstep
Happy 2020 S.A and will help as much as I can when you get started

I used a credit card, very convenient , actually a little to convenient.(can get in trouble very easily) I would like to see gift cards for payment. I'm already tempted to use it again.

Yeah but ya need ID now.

Accepting credit transactions is a huge risk for a vendor. Customers are the least trustworthy part of the equation and will accept an order and chargeback at the drop of a hat.

Not Canada post card.

Still, buying isn't the risk, selling is. Even then, it's not that big. Tiny even.

People give banks and Leo way way too much credit. Contrary to conspiracy theorists, even low level hobbyists, they're nowhere near as sophisticated as you're lead to believe. Besides, terrorists are keeping them busy hacking their websites. And Leo can't even find *them. The only danger is if they are already on top of you. The movies are dumb dumb dumb and don't think our overlords are any smarter.

20 years from now we'll be wishing it was 2020. Just like I wish it was still 1995 with a simple SMB port scanner. (Please... share your printer. Lol)
