Did you get a letter?

Fman

I am curious about buying seeds online. I've read some posts, on another site, about US customs. If they find your seeds they take them then send you a letter? Is that true. Anybody have that happen. I've already spent the night in jail for "conspiracy to smuggle drugs into the US" once in my life , dont want to do it again.

But i have always been a little reckless hehehe. Now I'm old and reckless, they'll never get me.

I have never heard of getting a letter telling you, you are busted. Usually a gentle knock on the door.

Fman

Not busted, just confiscated. Or do they come to your house for seeds?

I know not Fman. It is a very interesting question. Lets both hope someone can provide an answer.

Alright , i guess that someone is me. From what i have experienced. The company send s the seeds, it goes through customs, Your package comes empty, I got no letter just an empty package, with the words "Have A Nice Day", but i have heard of a letter, and once again no jail, no cops at the door so order again from a reliable compay, i switched companys , ordered new seeds and they came, without a hitch, and to this day, its been about a year since that, and im still going.

from my experience with shipments that went thru customs and been searched for banned goods i learned these things:

if it was private:

• there might be small stickers on the outside (Might)
• to close it off they have to use custom tape but they usually use only normal tape.
• they often "confiscate" small non banned items as candy, tools or similar and don't list them (guess the one or other grows "free" seeds as well)
• normally no letter, address or anything else that might help to get stuff back
• if you get a letter it comes weeks after the search from a customs attorney
• take your lawyer along!!! Never meet any LEO without your lawyer!!!Never answer any questions, besides your name, without a lawyer!!! If you can not afford one they have to give you one for free
  
• you could get help also from NORML and their lawyers number
  
• Have your own lawyer's nubmer in wallet!!!
• NORML or similar NGOs can give you names and addresses of specialized lawyers they know to good at the subject - so contact them before you do anything illegal to have a number in case of an rainy day

Commercial shipments:

• get a letter along with a complete list of all seized property
• you will be called before the free the shipment
• all rules are normally followed
• they are pretty friendly if it is nothing "major"
• they will get you a fine but that it then

General stuff to shipping contraband stuff:
- if it is small ship it in a huge box so it is harder to find, ship something bulky but light weight along as plastic toys
- don't use the same path twice in a row!
- try to have not too many international shipments to a single private address or be soon a victim of the "Patriot Act"
- if you got many internationals coming in watch out that they not come from only one foreign nation nor from one that is under special watch for "terror activities"
- make em appear private, so no business addresses!
- avoid shipping stuff to friends to save them from conspiracy charges! (also can save your butt as LEO could find a address list and start going from door to door, HAPPENS!)
