I won't touch ILGM. First order never arrived, had to wait a full month for them to try again, those didn't arrive either, and had to wait another full month before they would agree a refund, which took another 3 weeks.

Three months waiting on nothing.

Then I get a letter from customs explaining this shipment had been seized. I'm expecting a second letter for the replacement shipment any day now.

Presumably their stealth packaging is poor, but I wouldn't know cos I never received a thing.

Not impressed.

They communicate out of Amsterdam, ship out of Switzerland.

I've had easy times with other sellers out of Amsterdam, and even out of the UK (Midweek Song) with no issues.

Just my 2c.

Funniest thing. A packet of seeds just today fell on my doorstep. Can only be ILGM, and must be their reshipment. 5 months late.

Sometimes you win 'em...

Why not just deal with us seedbanks? There are a lot of them, and some still take cc's or paypal (at least the smaller breeders dealing direct).

Well I had the same exact issue, paranoia and all. Call your bank provider notify them you are approving any future or current "foreign transaction". If you do not do so within a certain time. Your order will expire and you ban could add security to your account that could lead to a new card being issues if you also ignore that. Trust me. I had this same issue same website same paranoia. It'll be fine. the Bank isnt concerned with what your buying as long as you approve it. Also, the merchant is going to be under a lot of suspicious names from offset locations. It's normal bro. You ordering seeds lmao. Can't expect much haha. Keeps everyone safe and discreet... oh yeah if your not using GBP expect a currency conversion fee, a foreign transaction fee along with adjusted taxes, small visa surcharge fee and whatever you paid. At least that was my experience with ilgm. Fuck my bank too lol. Never again. ordered once from attitude. No issues

Ok so my card got declined when ordering from I Love Growing Marijuana which is where I got my last batch from and they said I need to tell my bank about it. Well seeing as they charge it under a different company and its illegal in my state I dont know what I'd say to my bank that isnt suspicious. Last time I ordered I had a buddy who started growing before me (hes not very good) and I just gave him the cash cause I was paranoid about my name being on it but now I have to do it for myself. Guys how should I go about this?

Tell your bank your expecting a charge from China and will likely be doing so again in the future. This way you only have to tell them once. If they ask who the co is, just say you don't know cuz it's chinese.

Or.. True north seed bank (canada) or https://www.dcseedexchange.org/ is in DC and takes CC.

The guys at Ilovegrowingmarijuana.com are excellent at marketing. Their store pops up first when doing any search for seeds. Plus the website is actually pretty good; lots of info.
From the 10 seeds that I bought (3 strains) I tried getting 7 of them going and 3 didn't germinate. I left a one star review for the strain that I had 100% failure and of course they didn't post the review.
I didn't know that attitude stopped taking CCs, I'll have to get a bitcoin account going.

The deal with many "offshore" seed banks not taking CC is from the CC company getting pressured by the FED on the fact that they are contributing to an illegal act. Simply put, partners in a federal crime.
Master card was the first to begin to give the "tude" a hard time in payment. Tude simply stopped accepting MC charges. Visa continued on for another year, till the DEA/Justice threw stat's of confiscated incoming seed shipments, made by customs at New York, Chicago, etc. (memeber the period of many seed orders arriving with the package opened and taped shut with "customs" tape. Many had a card of a customs agent in them (where the seeds should have been).

How do I know? Because this was reported BY mastercard in a press report....Later by confirmed Visa also....Doesn't matter if you have a bank account outside the US/Canada either. MC and V made it world wide...

WU direct wire transfer......SAFE.

I've ordered from Herbies twice without issues. This week I got a notice from the local PO about a letter that needs signing. I know it has to be regarding Herbies. I think it was confiscated. Normally it would go straight into the PO Box. What will they do? Does Herbies resend. Is there a US source that's easier, discreet, and keeps up with the quality.

I guess going to california... I wouldn't drive with the seeds. Mail them to yourself for sure. Put them in something so when the post office asks what ur mailing you don't have to make up a lie... Or put them in a birthday card and drop them in the mail, that would work as well I guess. If you had the money to go to Amsterdam then yeah.. that would be fun but the mail would get checked much more close and don't put it in your luggage, that doesn't sound like a good idea at all.

??? What's with the fear factor in driving with seeds for all of you potential drivers??? Drive like an idiot? Car missing required parts?
Get Real. Drive like a normal "law abiding" citizen and why worry? Save getting "baked" for after you drive.

As far as calling your bank. Not going to work for those big seed banks that don't even take cards any more eh?

Well, that concludes my not understanding the continual rehashing of this topic.....rant.

US seed banks can be limited by only selling to "legal" medical or recreational states. There are others that will deal with the whole country. There are places that will have strains you've never heard of and will basically blow the doors off the vast majority of strains sold by the well known established seed breeders. Like I really never got the love of folks for Barny's Farm's. Inconsistent quality of even single strains...Plenty of others on that list....
Even looking in "heaven forbid" High Times, Skunk, MM mag.....will give you choice's.

I could list a few, but I'll get plenty of guff for the "I never heard of any of these", The prices are too high" and "Not enough selection", "I wanted what I read about in XYZ magazine".

Look around, keep an open mind and be willing to pay a bit more for better genetic's.

Well got my order of Super Skunk and got 10 for the price of 5 ($49.95) and got it a couple weeks ago. I had it sent to a buddies house for extra security on my end. Took 2 weeks to get here.

I tried to order seeds from there a couple months ago and was in the same pickle as u. I recently found a website that has some potent stuff and actually delivers discretely. The place is called kiwi seeds.

The Attitude has never let me down. Switched to cash when they stopped taking cc's and they have never failed to deliver! They're stealth shipping is stealth... I've even had to ask where the seeds are hidden because I couldn't find them! John Doe seeds took my money and never delivered.
