Is it safe to buy seeds online and have them shipped to new york???

think i responded to this question on another thread, but being from ny, it's worth a 2nd reply
if by safe, you mean 100% safe from any legal issues, answer is no, there's a small chance the seeds will be intercepted by customs, and a very small chance that customs would pass that info on some other law enforcement agency
my guess on your chances on having a small seed order intercepted is less than 1 in a hundred based upon the experiences i've seen on various grow sites, and my own experience(4 for 4 seed orders received in ny)
but that is just my guess

here is the answer you are looking for. if you are worried about attention being drawn, set up a P.O. box. have your mail sent there for about two months.
my 1st 2 orders were with highgrade-seeds, a smaller canadian breeder, he seems to have a very good rep for delivery
then i got to reading up on seed boutique, 2 orders for some nirvana seeds that came through fine, price was a bit lower on seed boutique
now i've really got as many seeds as i need for a long time

you need an id to setup a pobox, so that want work and + they will just hold your mail at the counter and wait for you to pick it up then get you picture from the camra and or plate no. from your car
what you do is use a adress that you can trust ( a close friend or maybe your grandmas house, or an aunt or uncle who at work when the mail is deliverd..... or some one you can trust dont tell them what it is or just tell them its something else then what it is and you need the mail to be sent to there house for whatever reasons) get a desposeable visa card (gift card) but frist see how much $$ you will need adding $10 for S/H then come up with a name, not some thing to fake some thing like, Mary Potts (lol) then tell your trusted adress that you are looking for some mail in the name of Mary Potts, tell them that you won a free gift online and thats the name you used, because you didn't want to give them your real info,,, then just wait..... im still waiting.....
i ordered my seeds from nirvana about a month and a 1/2 ago still no seeds in site-- how did you order it did you use your real info or did you do like i did above

Dont send em to your grandmas house! Thats just lame man. LOL I actually have used my real address as I have only orderd small numbers. My largest being 15 seeds. I dont know maybe i have just been lucky or whatever but i look at it like if you think the nypd is gonna come after me for growing 3 small plants well then i guess i would just have to face the consequences but i dont know the whole grandma thing just got to me cause if yours is anything like mine,,,,,,,, well, shes just too good a person. Peace bro and good luck.

wow....omfg......
when you move, you can do this to ensure your mail doesnt get lost.
you are worried that you are going to be on camera hey.
wow. do you believe in flying spaghetti monsters...lol
im quite sure if people were getting busted left right and centre for having a discreet package sent to you , these companies would not be around.

i ordered mine from nirvana, just 5 and had them sent to my house, am i at risk, i've done this twice before so?
very low risk, customs snags relatively few seeds, and of the ones they catch, they pretty much just send a confiscation letter
there have been a few times when they contact a local leo with the seed order info, very rare

first off you gave this as an answer to being discrete , and al im saying is you cant be discrete with a POBOX ,,,anymore
you need an ID to open one up, at least in this centry, maybe waaaay back in the day you could just go up to the post office and say "here $40 for the rent of a p.o.box for a year " and that was it. but time has changed pops. you have to pay before you pump your gas now, car radios have mp3 connects, not cd's and tapes,
women are alowed to work and vote and drive cars, blacks are still mistreated but its getting better, atleast here in the USA
most of all these company operate outside of the USA and for this same reason the dont sale to the US (mail here) and you want to know why because the US has politcal influence over there (whereever they are) and can have there ass shut down , this has happened in the past, thats why most site say we do not mail to the us and if they do only to cali.
did you know some criminals still beleave that they can commit a crime and just head for the border, and they will be free........(load buzzer sound) WRONG!!
they will catch you for the US and turn your as over,

Why don't you take a look in the proper section? As in the forum for Seeds and Seedbanks. There are sticky's right at the top of the page with all the info you need. Lazy lazy
