Bank Account, Patriot Act, and Shipping Seeds Safely

Hey guys, here's the deal. I want to buy seeds to start growing because of a medical condition since pharmacological drugs are not helping. The conundrum I have is that i recently opened a bank account and deposited about 8000$ in CASH at the place. Keep in mind this is all legal money, no drug money etc. I received this from a CD my grandmother had saved for me. I had another bank account with some money in it as well. I closed the old account and added the cash to the CD and deposited it at once into the new bank. About the same time, a family member had a large credit card bill so i bailed them out with most of the $8000 i set into the new bank account. There are laws in the USA - compliments of the Patriot ACT- that now look into peoples records who post more than 5000 (usually) at once into the bank. Banks must report large amounts of cash coming into their business. More than $10,000 and you have to fill out a form where you picked up the cash-which i personally did not have to do. If it's a check, gov. can trace it to the original, so no need for the bank to file a report. It's for depositing Cash only. The government may or may not be looking into my records. There is no way for me to know as the bank does not disclose this information you.
My question is, how should i order these seeds without getting caught? I know the seed company erases the info on your Credit Card, but that would not help if the IRS/gov bureaus are already looking at my account. In most cases they would be able to dig into exactly what they need. I'm not heading the money order/check way, seed companies could easily say you've never paid. I've only got one credit card to order with. I have not bought any of the equipment yet, as I wanted to wait until the seeds arrived. Another note, my mailman knows exactly who lives in my house, and would not be smart for me to try to fake an alias in this scenario. Sort of stuck here as well, unless i ship it to a relatives. I just want the seeds to arrive safely, I'll deal with everything else later. I would like your thoughts, opinions, help, responses to get these seeds home safely as possible.
One more note, my medical ailment leaves me unemployed, so that's another red flag for the bank to have possibly alerted the gov. Thank you

Go get a pre-paid credit card from any 7/11, walmart, ect. Use stealth shipping and get it sent to a friends place if you are really sketched out but honestly i wouldnt worry. Not trying to be rude and scare you away from asking questions but all of this information has been asked hundreds of times and there is even some sticky's on how to go about doing this if you look around.

Whatstrain i appreciate your reply. I have read that sticky before. I know about the credit card pre paids. My case is a bit different i feel because of depositing the 8000$ before I order the seeds. If the gov is monitoring my purchasing because of the earlier bank deposit, more chance seeds being intercepted. I do not believe that is being uptight, rather being necessarily cautious. If I had not have deposited the cash, i would have already ordered the seeds. You do have a point though, i might as well go ahead with it and find out in real time.

Here is what I am talking about if you care to read up.
