Basically I went away on holiday and because of my impatience I ordered everything including the seeds to the address I'm growing at, last time obviously I sent them to a different address but not this time! On the package the seeds came in was a sticky label saying customs have opened the sealed box to look inside and so they obviously know what's in there and I'm worried they have logged the address and maybe passed in the details to our local police force.....I know I should wait a couple months and see what happens but I need this grow to start in the next week or so to make some money for Xmas! I'm such a dick I should of waited lol cheers tho mate

what seed company ?
and no the seeds are a gift you where unaware of the company even sending them all you ordered was a "item" and they just happened to send some illegal freebies im unfamiliar with UK laws but where im at you have no control over what anyone sends you in the mail
was there a note from the asshole that stole your beans O.O
and i have had them inspect my orders before and the beans where still there
herbies rocks
they drill a small hole in the package and stick a cam or sniffer in sometimes resort to visual inspection

there is a reason there is no bill of sale or packing list in these orders

there is a customs label on all orders
its the green tape that makes me uneasy
have you opened the box or are you still on holiday ?

Hey tek! No the seeds arrived fine in a little box from Dutch Passion, in the U.K it's perfectly legal to have all the equipment to grow weed and even to have any kind of cannabis seed just so long as you don't start the germination process (basically the government want you to grow so they can bust your ass and slap on a huge fine, maybe jail for a while) but the box was already opened when I received it with a label stuck on it reading..."Royal mail in the United Kingdom opened this package for examination by Customs and have resealed it"

Can't really find anything online about customs logging addresses or swapping info with the local authorities :/

was it stealth delivery ?
they might of just opened it glanced
and closed it back up
im in america and had a couple not make it but have others with green tape on the box
items wrapped up in a ****** and make it so its how hard they look
honestly doubt they take the item out and really look in most cases

No not a stealth delivery, inside the package theres 2 seperate packs clearly saying the strains ive ordered along with pictures all over the packets of cannabis leaves lol they definitely know whats in there! Im just hoping they dont tell the local cops and bust me lol

Yea I'm coming to that conclusion, I've checked their website and all they do is make sure the duty has been paid and make sure there's nothing illegal inside I.e. drugs, firearms etc...surely as seeds are legal they can't inform the police every time somebody imports them?!! There's must be thousands comin in on a weekly basis and they wouldn't have the man power to check if everybody is growing! Besides it was only 10 seeds....7x think different and 3x outlaw

Im in the UK too,beaves.I think British customs have a lot more bigger fish to catch,and there is probably nothing to worry about.
But to be on the safe side only grow 2 or 3 plants,and if the filth do raid ya,yer only growing for personal use,not 4 monetary gain.
If you have no previous form for drugs,you will get a small fine,£100 maybe,and your grow gear confiscated.If you have previous
convictions,you will probably get the jail,Parkhurst will be the nearest to you on the IOW.
Personally,i dnt think customs will grass on you.I get my seeds from English seedbank,justfeminised,they are ok.
Good luck pal.

Cheers robro, yea I think your right and at most they may log the address, as for previous I have a bit of weed on my record but that's it for drug use, parkhurst is a cat A prison so if anything does go wrong up be shipped to Winchester probably, thanks tho fella!

No probs,beaves.Was only joking about Parkhurst.I buy British to avoid customs and have had no problems
with germing seeds from justfeminised,and next day delivery.Im not on commission by the way,lol.
Happy growing pal and take care.
