Hey Everyone

[HappyG]

Howdy everyone!

I have been growing for about 5 years just a plant or two for personal use a few of times a year. I use a Vipra Spectre LED light, just a small one, in a small tent but it does the trick.

I've only ordered seeds a few times and all off seedsman, small orders, enough seeds to last a year or two and fems at that. All have arrived. My latest order though has been sitting awaiting clearance in Sydney for 4 + weeks now so should I assume they have been seized?

Thanks for any advice and this place looks like a wealth of knowledge so I am looking forward to becoming part of a great community. Peace!

Hi Welcome mate
yes I would assume the order has been intercepted but don't panic as that is as far as it will go
Ive lost lots of orders to the Customs mob and never had any repercussions .

Oh well 3 from 4 aint so bad. From reading on this forum and others it seems it is getting harder with more being intercepted? Can you (or anyone else) recommend another international seed bank? I know of caveman seeds in Australia and have used them once however their range is pretty limited ( understandable I guess ) , is there any other Australian seed banks that ship from within Australia?

 

[HGO]

can't really recommend any from within oz other than caveman
as for internationals this mob has offered a 10% discount to members here
https://www.7eastgenetics.com/ its Regs only tho
I would have said attitude was the best for variety but they have had the same customs issues as Seedsman etc
maybe its only seedbanks posting from the UK that are problematic ??

Hi welcome, I am a noobie also, I am awaiting an order from Herbies and have the same problem.

Here is there answer

In accordance with company policy, the parcel is considered lost if
the tracking number has not been updated for a certain amount of time.
For countries with an estimated delivery time of 25 days or over, the
waiting period with no tracking number updates is equal to the average
delivery time.
For example, on average, our parcels reach Australia in 33-37 days;
the parcel will therefore be considered lost if the tracking has not
been updated for at least 37 days.
The last update was on the 9th of May, so the waiting period with no
tracking number updates is equal to 37 days. If there are no updates
till the 15th of June, please contact us. We will resend parcel for
free or refund money.
But I hope that your parcel will reach you safe and sound in time.

Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to
contact us at any time.

Looking how long their average parcel time to Aus is do not lose hope yet give it a bit more time

When I ask for resend, should I go low profile no tracking?

 

[HGO]

Welcome mate and maybe use a different address for the resend

Parcels are also being intercepted from USA and Holland. It's hit and miss.

Fuck Herbies and their pissweak stealth, Coming from suss Spain no wonder most get found. I'm in the Same boat, if they dont move from Sydney in 2 days they're gone. Whatever shit they try to feed us.

Im getting a refund this time as soon as the 35 days pass. Mines been 2 weeks in Sydney already, and they feed me the usual covid holdup bullshit and the generic "It still may arrive, give it time".

Honestly if you want some great genetics at a great price and willing to gamble on regs, give 7east a shot. Canada to sth Vic in 7 days. Awsome stealth and heaps of freebies.

Bummer to hear Melbourne stuff is coming in via Sydney these days. As Sydney Customs are getting good at the seed intercept game in recent years.

Yes 7east came straight to Melbs.

Oh OK, good to hear. Melbourne/Vic folks seem to have best odds in the country still.

I heard a vicious and totally unfounded rumour that Aussie customs were on a per seed bonus 4 their xmas club
Some one even invented a new scanning detector for compounds that make up a seeds outer husk
Gov needs this 2 help pay 4 Sco-Mo's 3 billion brain fart on french subs
All i know is that crustoms have improved substancially over last 2-3 yrs in banning our beans
In the inspiring words of Oldfox.......FARK CRUSTOMS

I have another attitude order waiting to arrive in Aus,,
