Will my reading the thread have any effect on your order status?

Will your continued posting on the thread have any effect on your order status?

I directed you to the only possible productive action that could be taken in this situation.

And how in the hell would contacting attitude resolve anything or be productive? They hve nothing to do with mail dragging ass. We are here to share info to decipher when we will receive our packages. Unless you have a similar experience and can share some good input, then do it!
But if not why are you on this thread other than to be a smart ass?

I am in this thread because it has popped up in my face numerous times over the course of 12 days and I am bored... And this is afterall a message forum.

Now, you havent told me what I assumed yet.

I already gave you my good input, you just chose to ignore it. Where is the humility?

I am not gonna bother reading this thread. 9 times out of 10 these threads go like... Omg!!! (insert seed company name here) hasnt delivered the seeds yet!!! They are the anti-christ!!! Never order from them!!! To... I got my seeds today, there was no problem. Please forget the 99 pages of angst driven thread before this.

(this is not directed at the op)

What do you feel is an appropriate time to wait if it is a busy time of year? (which i understand it is but come on! three weeks?)
According to royal mail my package has been in the U.S. since the 12/1 thats 9 days excluding sunday, from my experience its never taken this long to receive an envelope. One would think it would be appropriate to hire extra hands in the holiday rush to help speed things up a bit more than this garbage. Its going on 2011 i think they would be a little more resourceful than this, economy this economy that B.S.! they use it as an excuse.

Attitude says most international orders will arrive in 7 to 10 WORK days but it can take up to 21 WORK days. That means subtract any weekend days when mail services and Customs do not work and any Holidays when they do not work either. That means it is perfectly acceptable for an international order to take 21 WORK days PLUS however many NON-WORK days, weekends and Holidays, that fall after your order is placed and delivery occurs.

Also you have to try to understand that once Attitude, or any seedbank, puts an order in the hands of the local postal service Attitude no longer has any control whatsoever in how long it takes for the order to be delivered. Once in the hands of a postal service it is up to them, and if an international order, up to Customs and then that nations postal service.

It is irrational and illogical to blame Attitude, or any seedbank, for slow postal services and slow Customs departments.

No one here said anything negative or blamed attitude everyone is just here saying the mail is taking long and thats that!
we are sharing information to get a grasp on what time frame we can all expect to receive our parcel in this horribly dragged wait...
further more there are several people on here who have just reached that 21 work day mark and still nothing no updates not confiscation letters from customs NOTHING!

In the quote I directly said that the statement was not directed at you.

9 times out of 10 that is how the thread goes. Maybe your thread is one of them, maybe not... Since it has been going on for over 12 days and as you have stated *I JUST WANT MY SEEDS!!!* it seems very typical of the 9 times out of 10 that I indicated.

Bricktop just took the time to go to their website and show that it can take as much as 21 WORKING days or more to get the seeds. So, how many more days of complaining is that going to be?

Great, you found the 1 time out of 10 people. Now, how much farther has that gotten you in getting your issue resolved?

I pointed out in an earlier message that this is the busiest time of year for shipping and that every mail service and Customs department is swamped and backed up. When at my local Post Office recently the guy helping me said the rush began earlier this year than normal and there are more packages being sent than most years and people have told him, and other postal workers there, that due to money issues with the down economy they are not traveling to relatives for Christmas and shipping gifts instead.

No amount of bitching, pissing and moaning will speed things up. Just chill, orders will arrive.

Also when it comes to shipping updates, sometimes they are terribly slow in being updated. I have had seeds in my hands when updates said they were still in Customs or still awaiting overseas shipment. Once I ordered a pipe from a small shop in Canada and I was smoking from it when I read the shipping update that said it had just passed through Customs and was on its way to whatever the name of the first USPS location it would go to after leaving Customs.

People need to stop being such Grinches and relax some and enjoy the Holiday Season.

Hey man there is no issue here. Do you have anything to share that can help me conclude an expectation of my parcels arrival? For that matter do you have anything to share to help determine when anyone can expect their parcels arrival?
People are on this particular thread dealing with something that is out of the hands of us all and we are helping eachother figure out what to expect, and thats that end of story.
Now people are here to get good info not receive packages quicker but figure out the wait time to expect thats it plain and simple.
To say oh just wait and see doesnt work for some people and would like to know things in advanced for better planing. i.e. should i go get a clone right now and dish out more money because my package is otherwise going to take to long? or -example B Not get a clone and waist money when i can expect my seeds sometime sooner and i can just get those started like i intended.

This thread provides no useful information, it just exists as a bitchfest. I am not bothered, after 12 days I just chose to comment on how pointless the whole thing is.

Maybe a company representative with access to USPS customs tracking records that dont exist will pop up in this thread and prove me wrong...

Ok, now I am irritated... I just went back and read the first 2 pages and it is EXACTLY what I said it was. Would you please enlighten me on what page this thread turns into a veritable knowledge conucopia?

Pointless pointless thread.

The only thing this thread proves is that sooner or later some nut hugging attitude person is going to come in and defend them. Get me my fucking seeds, RIGHT, and this would not be an issue. I can't believe people spend all day on here defending attitude... GTFO of this thread, because I think there is enough threads you can go on, and on about how great attitude is about in. This thread is for people who have actually placed orders, oh, I don't know, a fucking month ago and hasn't received their order.

Not to mention last time I ordered, and they sent me 1! fucking pick and mix that was an autoflower, but somehow it was my, or the breeders fault...??! You people need to get out more.
