Has anyone successfully ordered and received seeds into Australia from the online seed merchants? Any recommended suppliers?

Also should I use a false name for the order in case they're intercepted by Customs or Australia Post?

Thanks for any help.

Well I ordered yesterday from 2 seedbanks. Attitude in the UK and HGS in Canada.

Attitude processed my credit card immediately and according to Royal Mail my order has been posted the same day and they're getting it ready to sent abroad. Yippee! I used the international track/trace option with TShirt for stealth.

HGS sent me an email overnight with Paypal and request for shipping details. Just emailed them back and paid by my Paypal. They use Paypal for Aussie clients which is a relief. As an IMO in the mail would take a few days or more to get there. I also paid the extra $15CAD to have it Priority Mail.

Well keep you guys posted (if anyones reading this???).

Somehow I feel like I'm talking to myself! :roll:

Wish i knew Highgrade had paypal ! would of saved 5 days and the risk of cash going missing in the mail
Never send cash in the mail. It's way too risky. You can just send them an International Money Order in CAD$ you can get from your post office. Much more secure. Next time you could ask them if you can use Paypal. It just costs a few bucks extra to cover Paypal fees (about $4 for my order).

Attitude post a within day of ordering.

Ordered same day from HGS and they don't use priority mail to Oz anymore (wierd I thought). Already spent $CAD15 for that HGS said threw in some extra seeds of the same strain I ordered to compensate.Usually allow 7-14 days from the States as a comparison.

PS Weather is really warming up finally after the coldest August on record for decades (so much for global warming).... so can't wait to get my next grow underway. :bigjoint:

The postie tried to deliver my pack from Attitude when I was out yesterday and I collected from the post office this morning. Nice TShirt too (love the VW Beetle....was my first 2 cars). All strains and free bonus seeds included as ordered. My only problem was that I used another name for shipping and the fat lady at the PO wanted to see my ID when collecting. I said I used a pen name for ordering and as the address matched up with my drivers licence she handed it over. Close call. :shock:

All up from order to delivery was 10 days.

Will start soaking them tonight. Cant wait for the HGS pack now. :bigjoint:

Sounds promising...
I think I'll get some fem. WW from Attitude.

I've placed an order with Nirvana for some seeds & a germination kit, shipped to a safe addy. (i.e. not mine:D)
Let's see if they make it....
(Order was placed on the weekend, seller claims 10-15 working days shipping time...)

With Attitude you can use another name but as long as it isnt an issue when collecting and signing if you have to pick it up from the post office.

Anyway how can anyone answer that question if you don't say where you live? I mean country & state. :wall: If you're in Holland you would be fine but many countries ban any form of grass.

Well, my order arrived two days ago....

What i ordered;
5x Kaya Feminized Seeds
1x Germination Kit

What i recieved;
1x Germination Kit

the package did not appear to have been opened previously when i recieved it, and was rather inconspicous looking.

Why would Nirvana send only the Germination Kit, but not the seeds?
And if they did send both the seeds & the kit from the start, then why would customs only confiscate the seeds, why not the whole lot?

Anyone have any suggestions as to what happened here?

Would the seeds have been shipped seperatly to the kit, and maybe where intercepted along the way?

this all makes me a sad panda...

And yes 007, i'm in OZ... WA, Perth
