Have you lost seeds in mail lately! - Australia/New Zealand - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Are some seed sellers getting lazy. Using same packaging over & over again routine is a cops friend. PO picks one package then they now what to look for.

I commend Seedbay & Seed boutique on there new Uberstealth packaging. Which will have no return address & envelopes will be change periodically so the PO doesn't pick up on same old routine.

My count is received 9 to 2 lost, not complaining. it was 9 received & one package lost over 3 years until August 2012 I lost another.

What's your score & have you been hassled by any asshole when seeds didn't come?.

i haven't lost one package yet.
BUT i do get the stealth postage option every time.
i also try and get the seeds included in a package with a small gift item.
it can cost $20 extra but well worth it for the peace of mind

Cool taslicker, I didn't know that option existed.

Firstly Heardy welcome aboard the SS - IC. Wow bro that's no good. it puts a new slant on "it can all start with a seed" Gypsy's famous saying, its intended for good but in you case it was a shocker.
Good luck to you bro in any thing you do in the future. I think you will have to be extremely cunning in the future as the assholes may or may not hassle you again. I'm sure you can get around that.

One day it will all be legal "we are just parked in a time of ignorance"
History will condemn those opposed.

from the us here, but yes lost payment at seedbay and seeds from people sending on their own. They sent again and I got those but this does seem to be more a problem lately than before. Not sure that's true for everyone but it is in my case. I still have received things despite the losses so makes you wonder what is going on.

What's going on is (and this is just my guess) that people on that side of the pond are stealing them on the way out, probably postal workers.

Hi Cosmic surfer, Yes I understand what you are saying. Lost orders can lead to extreme paranoia, not to mention loss of trust. It can put you in a spin Bro.
At the end of the day these are the risks we take. It should have been much easier in a perfect World.

Hi Ya Retro, I have looked at my Postie as a possible seed bandit. But in my case I was wrong.
The best way to battle this is to stem the flow of routinely the same envelopes been sent over & over again, these routine's are easy to pick up on.
Seedbay have introduced there new mailing system method called Uberstealth. Envelopes are changed systematically & have no return address. You can ask for it by name (UBERSTEALTH) when ordering by writting it on your order.
