We get loads of odd small packages from China- jewelry, led lights and electrical shit, big hand wrapped packages from India- fabric, clothes that sort of thing. You know the only post that gets fucked with? Anything from the uk that feels like a birthday card or something like that. We've complained to An Post but they won't do fuck all about it until it's happened 5 times and you have to give them the package back unopened to 'investigate'. Hardly worth the hassle.
This arrived yesterday. Kindly resealed by An Post. :/
My dad taped the sticky strip down so the cunts went in the top. New credit card in that one. But what can you do?

I've run autos outside in the UK when I was growing like a Mexican. I think it was ak47 auto.
One of them was a total mutant and finished at the same time as the others, fully mature but as tall as a beer can. It was really sweet! Must have been a teenth on it! I would have lived to keep it alive as a dwarf novelty plant. It was funny as fuck. I might have a picture somewhere. I'll have to look.
Never done auto flower indoors. My setup is small, I have a roof qube 120 and a ghetto starter cab. The cab isn't tall enough really. Good for seedlings but not really a proper veg room. I'd like add a roof cube 240 and have nursery, veg and flower areas. I have to room, but what the fuck would I do with all the bud?!? I'd have to dedicate my entire life to smoking. Horrible.

Cos it's from the UK?
I wouldn't be surprised if some toe rag in the UK sorting office isn't opening anything that might contain money with a foreign address on it. I guess they figure by the time it's come over here who's going to bother or be able to do anything about it
Around Xmas, we had 6 letters and parcels fucked with in a month.

You wouldn't believe the cost of reg post from the uk to here. A normal envelope well stuffed so it's heavy mind, can be 10 quid. At the current exchange rate that's about e350. 
There's a big difference between registered and recorded delivery. One basically means shit and the other is insured. My sister lost a phone going for warranty repair and the PO said "fuck you, you should have bought 'recorded' " tossers.
We've had sign on delivery letters tampered with too. But only from the uk. Too many scallywags and temps in the sorting office I recon. Ireland has a decent reliable postal service. I take my hat off to rural posties. No post code, no house number....
My missus's dad forgot to put the village name on when we first moved here:
Miss unknown
dead town
Co. In the west
Ireland
We still got it.

I don't think anything I'd opened to be inspected, just robbed. I'm sure it's happening in the uk before it gets over here.
Weirdly the massive squishy bundles from India come in unhampered.
Did have customs open a box of 20 vapes we bought, but once import duty was paid they released them fine.

That's fucking weird man England's so fooking reliable..or so I'd thought.
royal mail had its issues, but since privatization it been a complete joke. cant trust anpost with coloured bday/Christmas cards, everything else has been grand.
how do i rank middle earth so that irish vendors are at the top of the list, always have to go searching.

Hi I'm living in cork and I'm gonna try growing a few plants this year. I've figured I want auto plants to be grown outdoors in pots so I can put them in the shed at night. I've been browsing the seed banks but am totally bamboozled by the amount of strains out there. I'd go for indica but not too pushed. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
