Looking for stealthy vendor recommendations

Had some beans siezed by Chic. customs due to really poor stealth.
Can anyone recommend specific vendors that are more creative than using an empty cd case.
I have had success with Sannies, but I would like to try some other strains as well. If you don't want to reveal your source here, you could send a private msg. of those vendors that have been routinely successful in eluding detection in Chicago, I will be happy to +rep ya!
Just returned to growing after a 25 year hiatus (raising kids), all the beautiful budporn on this forum is torturing me! I have only placed two orders, however, from what I have read, Chic. is a difficult port. Not feeling so good with my measly 50% success rate. I'm ready to grow, dammit!
Thanks

I don't live in Chic. but I'm awaiting my fourth delivery from Attitude Seedbank in the last 18 months and have not had a problem yet with delivery or product.

Hey, thanks! reps to all. I don't live in Chic., but much of the central US is serviced by this port of entry. Seems that the east and west coasts have a bit easier time of getting through.
Thanks.

Chicago seems to be a bit worse than the other customs places, sorry for the bad start
my orders probably went through NY, though who knows for sure? but they came through fine
curious if yours were package as opposed to letter
letter shipping is very cheap, but the chances of a letter being inspected are much lower than package
which gives them a stealth all their own

Hiya grow... the siezed packet was sent small parcel with an empty cd case inside a bubble mailer... seems like they may as well label it as I think that method has been way overworked by vendors! Sannies was sent first-class with no customs declaration. Got here in 6 days from confirmation. Very professional packaging... helps that I ordered other supplies from there as well. They just slap stamps on it, with no customs declaration. This makes the most sense to me as my family in England always sends me mail that way (just stamps, no declaration) and it never gets stopped (wish they were into MJ). Although I am uncertain, I don't think packages under a certain size have to have a customs declaration and can be sent reg. first class. I thought dang! Now my secure addy is on the "watch" list with homeland security!
Hehe... a little stoner paranoia...?

Attitude seed bank is your best bet just put in my 12th order within 15months never had a problem and delivery to california is always within 2 weeks. My brother uses them and he lives in chicago. Des Plaines area and never had a problem with them as well best of luck.

the CD shipping is a classic, that's one that is no secret
my understanding is it is many times more likely that any package has much higher risk of being opened
it comes down to numbers, so many more letters than packages, the seizures i see are almost invariably packages, if only small packages
wouldn't worry about the list too much, probably getting close to a million names/addresses by now
i have seen Mandala's shipping method, very stealthy and clever
you can find posts of it if you search long enough, it will be determined customs agent who finds a Mandala shipment

Yeah, I won't vendor bash in this thread as I posted under the vendor's review thread already. I was hesitant about attitude due to the wildly fluctuating reviews they get, but will definitely try them out now. I will search for the Mandala info... these are the kind of personal testimonials/inside info. I was looking for. Guess I'm a dumb newb. Thought by going with a slightly more obscure, uk-based bank that I stood a better chance. Ah well, still have much to learn. reps to all! Thanks

Hmm, Mandala indicates that their super stealth shipping is by CD case. Not sure if I want to mess with CD cases again.

I order a t-shirt with mine.

i wouldn't care for the CD case myself, they have another method, maybe it's the cheaper one
i don't want to detail methods, but theirs was very slick, but maybe they have changed methods

Yeah, much better when there is obvious commercial contents on board. I am always happy to buy something extra in the name of stealth. I will inquire with them, they have a great selection.

try hempdepot...no guarateed shipping, but who else would waste there time checking regular mail, right? here follow my link. https://www.rollitup.org/seedbank-reviews/396117-ordered-hempt-depot-ride-along.html

Was it first class letter, or first class parcel? There is a difference in how they are handled. Thanks.

my guess is would be letter, but that's just a guess
i saw it mentioned in a post somewhere, it's not good to post methods online, but some do
they may not describe it exactly, varies for seed banks, some describe shiiping exactly
mostly it comes down to luck, they search it, they probably will find it, though i have seen posts where things were opened, but not found

if u order thru tude opt for the mug because nobody mainstream will really get the design. imho their shipping is the fastest overall.

nirvana is 3/3 on failing me... first time nothing came for a month and a half, second package came with crushed seeds, and third package was seized... i recommend not trying them

I have only ordered twice, once from marijuana-seeds.nl and once from Nirvanashop.com

Both orders arrived. Nirvana shipping was super-stealth (with a tasty cover). None of the ordered seeds from marijuana-seeds.nl opened, though the 5 random free seeds are growing.

Nirvana seeds arrived superstealth and within a week. I got 10 free seeds thrown in plus my order. I germed 5 seeds. All germed within 24 hours. I put into peat last yesterday and 3/5 are already sprouted. I hope they produce quality. At this point, I'm much more stoked with Nirvana. marijuana-seeds.nl told me to pound sand over the non-germinated seeds. Oh well, I only flushed $40 with marijuana-seeds.nl. They will not be receiving any more of my dough.

I'm not going to discuss Nirvana's shipping more than saying the shipping was dynamite. I don't believe that it would be discovered if the package was opened. It took me a few minutes to find my beans.
