No it's US tax time and all the taxes are coming in from overseas. So customs is probably a tad backed up. Oddly though it's just one of those things you can't tell. I had one order sit in customs 3 weeks same exact type of package that I purchased April 6th and arrived yesterday (4/15)!

So hang in there they usually arrive.
 
I had a similar situation. Stuck in customs for several days (6 total), but was delivered intact yesterday.
 
2 questions 1) did yall use your real names when ordering 2)did you pay with a bank card linked directly to you, or did u us one of the walmart cards??? becaus this just seems iffy to me but i gotta get some good seeds im just about out!!
 
My order from the tude shipped a week ago. It was a big order. Hoping next week. Royalmail said its in the USA. It was my first online order. I get the whole nervous thing but just go for it. Enjoy it.

I don't like having seeds sent to the place I'm growing.
I had my identity stolen using a credit card at a seedbank.
 
Real name. Bank card. Using a fake name on the mailings can throw up red flags. I actually had a PO box back in the day. The PO box was opened under a fake name and at the time I was using a p p c c under the same fake name. Now with Amazon, Ebay, e t c. There is so much traffic to and from my place and to and from my b a n k cards that it just blends in.

It happened at sannies b/c he uses sagepay but it also happens at attitude and can happen not only with any seedbank but any online transaction really, especially overseas transactions.
My card company caught it b/c they're on the ball but basically someone tried to buy 3k worth of stuff a couple of days after I used the card to buy seeds.
When I researched the matter I found that sagepay has had a lot of problems with stolen card #'s.

About sending seeds to your house. Yes it's convienent but the postman knew I was getting something I shouldn't be getting and it made me paranoid. Postmen like to talk and if you live in a small town who know's who they're talking to. It's prepaid cards and sending to a friends mailing addresses for me from here on out. It's just not worth it.
