How safe to order equipment within the EU? - Finland - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hei,

I'm sure most of you know the "... &nature" shop based in Germany (trying to avoid showing up on Google searches.)

I wonder is it safe to order from them to Suomi? How hard would customs look at such packages? I guess not so much because it's within the European Union, VAT is already paid...

I have read that ordering from "hydro" stores within Suomi isn't a good idea...

Still, would they X-ray or whatever and open a package containing Advanced Hydroponics products (several - 1 liter of grow, bloom, micro. 500 ml x 3 of others) and CFL bulbs with a reflector?

Anyone order from them frequently or recently?

I wish there were sane laws here! :( You already see people smoking on the street sometimes. I'll save my rantings about governments for another time.

Kiitos.

Hei!
I have ordered from h&n couple of times all kind of growing stuff and nothing bad has happened. Packs are delivered fast, straight to home depending if home or not. Delivering man doesn't call if he/she cant get to building because of locked outer door (apartment building), even pack has phone number on it. Pack goes to post office if cannot deliver straight to receiver.
I dont think pack are X-rayed because they come from another EU-country.

I've read on other forum that you can pay order also with Visa Electron, just select "credit card" in payment option step. That's just rumor, I havent tested it myself.

Hopefully this helps even a little.

It's within the EU so no cutoms. I've ordered from them many times and have no complaints. Cheap and realiable, delivers directly to your door which really comes in handy in large orders. Nothing illegal about some lights and ferts!

Not always to your door. 2 days ago one set of 30kg comes to door and second goes to posti....Mayby some security issue ...not sure... l

Probably it is most safe to order to place where you don't have anything illegal. Some friend maybe who doesn't grow or smoke. But...

I have ordered many many orders from h&n and had never any kind of problems. So I think its safe.

People order stuff from everywhere and lamaps and seeds etc are perfectly legal.

rasras · 04-03-2011, 10:04 AM

many of my friend order stuff from USA it is cheap and under 80€ you dont have to pay tax (this is with food products tax is half smaler then nutes).
MAny times you have to go get your stuff from custom.

BUT ordering liguid form nutes is NO SMART MOVE inna wintertime, you easily fuck your nutes up because cold whether.

Thanks everyone. I'd still be a bit scared about ordering seeds... Unfortunately I don't really have any friends who I could use as a "safe" address...

I think that ordering everything you need, then do nothing for 4-6 months should be okay, though?
