Okay, so I got the seeds in the original packaging. My money wasn't stolen, and the stuff was shipped promptly.
Thanks seedsman!
They didn't send it in a retarded tin like the attitude does (really stupid mistake.) It screams suspicious. Metal box = hiding something..... Nobody sends mints internationally, 1 per package.... Keep in mind, if the customs slip on the package says "t-shirt", and there's a metal box in it, they're going to open it! Everything that goes through customs must have the contents written on the package!! They will notice inconsistencies through x-ray!
I still think nirvana does it the best. They just send you a letter with the seeds in it... All the stealth crap other companies pull is bullshit. They're just trying to sell merchandise.
Attitude, if you're reading this, attaching your "stealth" option to your "assured delivery" resending service is just stupid. I won't order from you until you wise up and stop forcing us to buy tins in order to get "assured delivery". Tin is anything but assured.... You can resend it over and over, but I won't be happy unless the order arrives on time. Do it right.
I read some other threads, and those tins from the attitude are ALWAYS what got caught in customs. Don't even bother with them unless they can assure you they won't send metal in the mail, or some giant package. And to whomever had that idea and didn't give it up after years, have you ever been through airport security before?
Just send a letter sized package, the most non-suspicious parcel that can possibly be delivered. Letter = stealth. Everything else = suspicious
If the customs slip on the front of the package says what's in it. Nothing looks better than "letter". "tshirt" just looks dumb. Who the hell goes through the trouble of ordering a t-shirt internationally just to deal with all this customs bullshit? T-shirt in itself is a red flag.
Put yourself in the shoes of a customs officer before you write something on the slip... What's on that slip will obviously be scrutinized!!!
The customs agent will not think to look for fruits or frogs or whatever lifeforms they're trying to stop from entering in the letter.
