i recently ordered from attitude a few days ago and my grand total on there was 78.58 euros and when i converted it to dollars it came out to 103 dollars, when i checked my bank they charged me 126 dollars so i sent them an email to ask why this happened and i used the google currency converter so i know the conversion isnt wrong, but has anyone else ever had this happen?

Your credit card company may being doing a different conversion, and also charging you for the conversion. My CC company put on the euro amount, the $ they converted it to and a surcharge fee for converting it.

The majority of CC companies and banks will charge you a nominal fee for changing currencies, that is probably why you noticed more on your bill. But if I were you, I would check out your CC provider or bank for more information and the going rate for currency convertion. I've never seen one as high as 23 dollars.

ok ill check my cc company but i doubt they would i mean i get to use any atm for free and they pay me back that charge so idk why they would charge so much for currency conversion but i will ask and yes i am sure michael because it tells you your grand total with shipping and everything included that i purchased and i emailed attitude earlier thursday and i haven't gotten a response back but hopefully tomorrow i will

Just looked at my last order and found a difference of $2.86. Used a Visa Debit to pay. Charge was from the bank - seems fair as the exchange rate is all over the place lately.

i use USAA for my cc but i found out that england still uses pounds not euros and the pounds and euros emblems are almost identical so ya typical stoner move on my part, living up to the sterotype lol but i was thinking i would be charged euros because i got some "souvenir" seeds from barneys and they are out of Amsterdam i thought so i figured they would have charged euros and can anyone that has ordered from attitude tell me from this info that they made it past customs? on the 14th the royal mail said "you package been passed to the overseas postal service for delivery in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and i checked usps and found this "We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece" does this mean usps is still waiting to receive my package or that they are about to send the package from customs?

I ordered from Attitude on 26 Nov and got the seeds on 16 Dec. The tracking was the same as yours, Royal Mail said it had been passed off and USPS said waiting for originating post. It was like that up until 14 Dec then the USPS said the package went through a sorting facility in NY, then it went like normal and I had the seeds 2 days later. Be patient, they'll come.

Also you can change the currency on Attitude's site so you can see it in USD.

No, I got the T Shirt. I don't think you'll have any trouble with customs, they're pretty discreet with the packaging.

did you go with breeders packaging? I ordered barneys farms seeds in breeder packs once. Even though they were wrapped in a tshirt, it sounded like rattles packed inside with the seeds bouncing around in the plastic bubbles.

CC charged you extra for the conversion. Also the price of euros relative to dollars may have gone up or down from the time you last checked.

Yeah, I got SLH from greenhouse seeds. Their blister pack must be smaller than barneys, even outside of the shirt if I shake the package they barely rattle.
