Make sure to use names like Carlton Banks and Fresh Prince when ordering:)
I would actually go against using those names. Using "regular" common names is more appropriate; i.e. John Smith, Marie Johnson, etc. If you really want to be thorough google most common last names and use those. Although you know you can also cut this B.S. and just use your own name,if they wanna get cha they will no matter what fake name you use.

Quick Update:

well, still have not got my beans from attitude yet. It's still siting in DC, according to USPS, but I have not really been thinking about them. It helps make the time go by faster. I went ahead and made different order from nirvara, its current status is ready for deliver.
 
I just got my wallet/beans from Attitude! Totally stoked!!! Reading this post made it a lot easier buying them and waiting for them to arrive. 8 business days to AZ! And the tracking number still shows it waiting to be dispatched. From US Customs, I suppose. Happy growing!!!

Be patient. I am 3-0 when ordering through Attitude. They will come. If not, you paid extra for the stealth shipping, right? Then it is GUARANTEED.

ALSO . . . just an FYI - when checking out with Attitude enter code 420 for £9.80 off your order

I hear about people getting their shit in DVD cases, wrapped up in Tshirts, what have you. If it's a smaller package there's less chance they'll go through it too......I do agree several small orders are safer although I personally haven't bought seeds from any seed bank yet......i'm going to wait until I have my own place so nobody knows what i'm doing.....smart policy

Been thinking about ordering seeds for a while now. Leaning towards the wal-mart card and u need ur SS for it.
But i recently met up with a long lost cousin, and he works for a company that does background checks almost exclusively through ur SS. Is there any way customs can flag ur SS# if they find beans???

Or am i just sketching myself out right now?

there shouldn't be the full card# on the shipping invoice, which is what customs would have
but double checking with the seed bank wouldn't hurt, if only for peace of mind

IMHO, I think only re-loadable gift cards and re-loadable prepaid credit cards require a SS#. Disposable one time use cards only require to register them on-line to activate them for on-line use. It takes about an hour after you register it before it will work. You put in any bogus info you want and it should not require a SS# but when you order on-line, the info you provide while ordering needs to match what info you gave.
You need to be sure the gift card states it will work for out of country orders. Some are restricted to the US or what ever country they were bought in.
I use the yellow one time use cards from Walgreen's and never had a problem. Some cards sold at Wall-mart are USA use only.
Read the cards restrictions before buying.

Despite the fact that the seed companies use some stealth in the delivery of your order I use some additional tactics. I order my seeds from the UK, also have a little company over there that will send me post marked letters from the UK with any return address (incl name of business) to my home. I just google the name and address of some fraternal organization, some hobby shop and type up a quick letter to myself. This diverts attention from the mailman who most certainly would notice foriegn postage. I use pc2paper, it's not expensive, it works.

Anyone know if ordering from overseas to the U.S. results in a signature for delivery now? That's what I heard but wanted to verify if anyone (as in recently) ran into this problem. Both Tude and Nirvana worked before but it's been some time and I know things have changed for the worse it seems...

I keep reading about people getting beans in mugs and such and wonder why?. Unless you place a large order, they should all be arriving in envelopes. I've had 2 recently arrive from 2 different countries, both looked like a normal letter and were processed as such.

Nice thanks for giving me some recent relief from my seed buying...the fact your shit is still floating here since 2008 says a lot about the buying guide you provided!

I get packages from abroad all the time (Europe and Asia), and they only require a signature for delivery/pickup if they were specifically sent registered/certified mail or return receipt.

They certainly do not need to be sent that way.

Ultimately its up to the sender to decide how they want to send the stuff, but requiring a signature on delivery will cost the sender more.
