Did my Order get Snagged?

[bertaluchi]

So I have an order from Seedsman (who I like and have used many times with no issues) that has been sitting at Kennedy Airport for over a week now. Seedsman offers tracking with Royal Mail so I saw when my order arrived and it has been there a while. Is this an indication that my seeds have been snagged? And will I get something telling me that they took my order if it was taken?

That's kind of what I figured

You are fine. This kinda stuff happens all the time. I have had packages sit for 2 weeks before, and then boom boom boom be at my door 48 hrs later.

I'm still waiting for seedsman order shipped 3/11. The previous order from seedsman, three weeks earlier, took only seven days from order till beans in hand so I am expecting the green tape but if not I'll be super stoked.

It doesnt take 2 weeks to search a package. That isnt the holdup

Who knows what is causing the slow down, just hope for the best and prepare for the worst!

Nah, but it does take two weeks to get to all those suspicious packages off to the side that are building up thanks to the spring seed rush. Tis the season of snagging. LOL.

Let's hope not but you got to keep a sense of humor about things. Besides, I look at any seed order as a gamble so I don't really get pissed when they don't make it through. My philosophy is, "if you can't afford to lose the money, then don't buy seeds" because it's all a roll of the dice any way. Cheers.

My philosophy is why buy from across the pond when you can buy from in the states and never have to worry about that.

Waiting for my 3rd successful order this month lol.

Awsome news bert! Those fucking magic 8 balls aren't worth a shit!

If you're looking for American based seed banks there's a few you can check out. Natures Green Remedies, Great Lakes Genetics, Seed Vault of California, and Sour Patch Seeds are a few that I've noticed. I'm sure there are more....

Thanks Stowandgrow. I am going to check those banks out. This order took 3 weeks to get to me so I would be much happier ordering from inside the US.

Awesome news you got your beans.

Three weeks, damn I'm at two right now. My first seedsman came fast but I paid for special item, this time I went with regular shipping so looks like I'm in for a wait.

 

[bertaluchi]

I have ordered from Seedsman many times and this was by far the longest wait. And they were supposed to give me a free DNA LA Woman and they ended up giving me a Seedsman Blueberry, bummer. I wrote them and they said that freebees are subject to change at anytime. So I'm pretty much fucked on the DNA. Oh well. I think I;m going to start ordering from US seedbanks from now on.

im having to wait extra long at customs the past few weeks but every order ive gotten so far has come through fine. 2 of 4 so far waiting on my last 2.

 

[yesum]

So far I have gotten all my orders from 6 or 7 different banks A couple real nail biters with long waits but the beans arrived.

Am considering buying US beans next time but they have to get more selection. I am in cali ordering from the UK.... wtf?

 

[mrblu]

us companies only sell through seed banks i thought

Are you in NorCal? Those boys up in the emerald triangle have some great genetics.
