I am wanting to order an hps system but the person who works at my post office knows me somewhat and so if it says something about garden light etc, she will probably think right off the bat, hes growing weed....:-?

what do they put as a disclosure on these packages? any help? i can go to the city and pick one up but that place is way over priced as its the only shop in the area. also the gas is another 50 bucks!

thanks rep for any decent help

Well unless you cause suspicion, you have no worries... call it anything you like... how about a "POWER SUPPLY" ~ which it is, OR how about a "battery charger"? Unless YOU throw the flags up, they will NOT open to x-ray or inspect because...

Post Office people are fundamentally VERY lazy and who likes to repack anything?

not so... I live in a small town and the chick at the post office knows everyone's business.. when I ordered my HPS.. it was to another place, and it came in a box telling what was in it - all over the thing. If it would have gone to my regular post office this chick would have been telling everyone that I got a HPS grow light kit. She's not stupid... and she would just kinda spread the word that I got it.. likely to my landlord too... so get it shipped to a mailboxes inc. or some kinda thing - would be my suggestion.. even if you have to drive a few hours, it's worth your piece of mind.. or spend the $ on gas to get to your nearest hydro store.. OR.. talk to the guy shipping and ask them if they ship discretely or for an extra charge will they wrap it in plain brown paper.

Order from www.canadianwholesalehydroponics.com

They ship everything either wrapped or in different packaging. The name on the company is listed as CWH, pretty low key. That's where I got all my supplies from. I also live in a small town, and since it is staying within Canada you don't have to worry about nosy border inspectors!

Exactly my case. This woman has known me since I was a teenager and her first assumption would be "he's growing pot"

Do they do this 100% of the time? Cause i don't want any screw ups. Maybe I'll just spend that extra money and have peace of mind...

They have done it the 10+ times I have ordered from them, and it also says so on the website under shipping info. You could always remind them when you call. Or if you wanna go on a road trip that's always cool too.
