Nah, that's definitely not the case. I'm very small time and I don't sell or anything. I've never had any run-ins with the law.

Wow. That is very DICK-ish. Glad to know that you care.
Wow, you guys can be real asses. The reason I posted was to give everyone a heads up and a warning that they might want to wait on ordering so they wouldn't be in the same situation. See, I actually care about other people. You should try it sometime.
Mine was seized before it even left the post office they dropped it off at in Colorado.

Pretty much. It happened to me back in 2004 or 05 when the feds busted Marc emery. I still ordered seeds to that house after that, lol.
Hell my buddy's aunt from Cali sent him a few ounces that got snagged and again all he got was a letter. His aunt had a legal medical garden and got off with a warning.
Gu might need to find a new PO box address and LLC name though or some some.
When I place my order, the one that got seized, there were three shipping options. I don't remember what the exact wording was but it was something like $5 for regular shipping, $10 for priority shipping with tracking, and $15 for stealth shipping. I chose the priority shipping because I figured the stealth shipping was for people outside the USA.

Try not to take it personal. The trolling on this site at times can get a little extreme so its difficult to put a lot faith in posts from new members that seem a bit "off" or out of the ordinary.
And not for nothing but I think its safe to say orders are being withheld so Gu doesn't get stuck replacing a shit ton of seized orders since they seem to be getting seized at the post office they're being dispatched from.

Wow just seeing all of this about the LEO seizing packages. I have had international orders seized back in the day with no issues afterwards as I continued to place orders to the same address.
I still order some beans internationally because some of the genetics I am after aren't sold in the US at least to my research and knowledge. But anytime I order international, in the last few years I always have my package sent to a different address. Also if I order from a source I have never ordered from before, my first order from a new source never comes to my address. However, it never crossed my mind that a domestic seed order/package would get seized. You can call me paranoid, but I am deleting my account on there just in case they decide to open an investigation. One thing I know, and us folks in illegal states should know, is that we never know, for certain and the risk isn't worth it. Especially running commercial grows like I personally run. I went huge this year and I am going to allow my paranoia to delete my gps account.
Last thing I need is to go back to the slammer, can't grow in there and if I can't grow then I am a rendered a useless human being and clinically depressed and psychotic.
I've been posting more over on ICmag than I am now comfortable with. Time to go wipe some info and pics...

I hope I didn’t come off like I don’t like new members. It is possible that I did, but I was new not very long ago, too, so I try to have some temperance. Sometimes I fail.
I am in an unfriendly spot for our hobby, so I need to know the truth about something like this as soon as possible. I don’t need Cackleberry as badly as I need to stay cage-free. I can wait for a minute, happily. That said, I had an overseas package seized by customs and thanks to information on fine sites such as this, I had it re-sent to the same address without even tripping. I am a little afraid of the USPS, though. The man can use mail fraud to jack you up, sometimes.
I am, nevertheless, suspect of all new voices in internet conversations, a stance gained through a lot of experience online, but I try not to be a total fuckbag about it.
Thank you for this. Awesome share, I am sure all this shit will blow over. I sure hope so, for everyone’s sake; buyers’, and GPS’.

pretty good post. Be advised, the private carriers can open your pkgs and don't have to have a warrant or anything, its in their fine print. ups, dhl, and they'll also help with the stings if leo decides to come get you. You can google many stories where they sent the ups guy to the door for a sig, and voile', bye bye. Again, and said it before, Im not worried bout the growers, Im worried bout Gu. Just being legal in that state, given that seed law, given the up one day and down the next from Sessions and Congress and Drumpf bout mj or mmj, Im more worried bout Gu than the small timers. But I too don't think a replacement pack is worth the penitentary ride. Sometimes people forget even in mmj and rec states, its still a fed offense, any of it. A city in my state got its cbd oil places popped since in that state, they consider cannabis, cannabis, thc or not, a schedule one. Sometimes when you are in those wonderful legal states, you forget about the rest of the world and how it is. RIght or wrong. Don't let your guard down

I'd say orders are being withheld until Gu can get to the PO and see what happens. Wouldn't want 9 million pkgs they have flagged all sent from one place, that would be a red flag. You guys think its all about getting freebies or getting your seeds, lol. I just don't want Gu to get into any trouble, he prolly got the most to lose. Also, dude needs to remember this is RIU, it does have a rep on that trolling, etc. lol. Most are hard skinned, some are not.

not to be critical, but his website got overun by bots bout a week or so ago, took a few days to get em off there. Makes a man wonder bout their security on that site, not this one, that one. If you can post pics here, why post there anyway, to be honest? And some just rather be safe than sorry. just sayin'. Why do you think they added the option all in one day? Times have changed it appears.

experiment for shits and grins. Charley Brown lookin one is a monster, fast flowering Eagle Scout I didn't take clones from, didn't top, and flowered from seed hps. The other one is a Bounty Hunter, all three look like this, starting to bulk up. I used the MH thru almost the first month of flowering, think I added the eagle scouts when changed bulbs and run out of room. Bounty Hunters might be one of my new faves. Under scope, super frosty, its finishing a lil faster than I first thought it would. Not a real stink, just dank smell off stem or bud rub. But I notice the branches aren't hollow, they are like wood. Sturdy, sturdy plant. Anyhow, can't wait for a smoke report, had one branch break off, let it dry, quarter of the hairs turned lower bud, actually even early even with quick dry, very pleasantly surprised. Smooth and effect is all I can say now, albeit shortlived.And in hindsite, I'd fim and pinch the Bounty Hunters, just one gallon smarties, I get they get goin then, jmho
