Hola,

In the past I was able to order seeds, to the USA, by sending a an anonymous money order and having them shipped to a non-smoking safe address for pick up. I no longer have this luxury.

What do you do? Do you just wing it and have them shipped directly to you? How safe is this? I know some seed companies hide their seeds in various items.

I need a new round a seeds, but also do not want any heat from my purchase.

Tell me about your techniques and buying strategy.

Thanks!

I use my credit card and ship to my house. No strategy at all!

Never order to your grow period. Get a po box.

Ordered 4 packs of seeds for the first time this year, did the same thing with no problems.

If you live in the US, go to Walgreens and get a Greendot card.
Add money to it.
Wait until your 'permanent' card comes to your house.
Order on-line.
I have ordered twice. Once to my house and once to someone elses.
No fear, I have a recommendation, a state card and live in a MMJ state.
Hell, my best friend is a sheriff and knows I started growing.
Grow small grows, keep it stealthy, have use for medical purposes.

I've order 8 packs of seeds all using money order, real name and home address. No issues.

I think by far the best security preventative measures that one could take; is using a close friends e-mail address and then have them shipped to their house. Seeds are not illegal to have, it is just what comes from the seeds that is. However, it is usually obvious to any law enforcement surveillance task team when 100 of packets of beans are being delivered to the same address with that person's credit card.

I ship to the pad but also have a med card

when I didn't have it, I had a po box, well it was through a shipping business that actually lets you use an actual street address SO that looks even better versus p.o.

I've ordered a half dozen times or so and I live in the states where prohibition still runs wild. No problems, always paid with money order and had the beans delivered directly to me. Usually only took a couple of weeks to get them on the east coast.
