question about attitude shipping and usps tracking

so Last Tuesday I bucked up and placed my first order with attitude seed bank as it seems to be the most reputable seed bank. I just had a question on the USPS tracking, I know some say not to pay attention to the tracking as it is often not updated in real time but I am a little confused as I got the message saying it was at the newyork isc. Orgin post is preparing shipment. It stayed like this for 4 days then just today it updated and said it was processed thru USPS sort faculty and is in Bethpage by awaiting shipment. Does this mean it has past customs and I should be receiving beans soon? Has anyone else had this on tracking? And what should I expect as far as shipping to the west coast? Sorry if these are dumb questions still kinda new to site and sketched out about seeds getting snagged by the feds.

Your package is likely not far from being delivered. I ordered some beans from them on the 31st and they arrived yesterday. The USPS tracker had it checked through some random place far from where they were delivered, but they made it, nonetheless. I would not look at the tracking, but simply wait for them to be delivered as the tracking is questionable, at best.

ya that's what I figured. I fucking hate the usps...they take forever to do anything..Did u get the garunteed shipping? I just got standard wondering if they still send it somewhat stealthy tho? All seeds I got were from tga subcool aside from the freebie, anyone know the germ rate on there seeds?

Some people have problem popping beans, but I've never had a bean not pop!

I have but it was totally my fault. I kept messing with the dome and overwatered them. Wet paper towel method works best.

You should get them within a week.

Avoid compulsive & repetitive tracking of your seeds if you track a package 15 times a day it might give a reason for custom to inspect it . Attitude seed are very reliable you will get your seed within a month of ordering . I never use tracking unless a package is way overdue & that don't happen with the attitude.

Haha well I've been checking it since the first email the tude sent me just because I was so paranoid about throwing money away from buying beans overseas and them being confiscated. Is this something they can acctually see and do they acctually big brother millions of people tracking packages? Seems like more work then it's worth but I definitely am gonna stop checking tracking because im obsessing over it and in return time is dragging i just wanna get these babies started already. I'm not to worried now after reading up on it i was just confused as to what the tracking message meant, i have never really ordered much of anything from overseas.

Ya I've always done papertowel and put a plate on top to keep it dark but I'vee always used bag seed so a lot of beans were no good. good to hear, I've for the most part heard nothing but good things about the attitude so I am pretty confident I will get them just hate playing the waiting game...guess il just keep sparkin blunts till I forget about it.

The custom have access to all the tracking statistic & if a package is track too often it's a red flag for them just like putting too many stamps. You don't want your package to get any special attention.

For germination i put my beans in pro-mix ( do not over-water ) & wait for them to show-up. I try to manipulate them as less as i can cause seedling are fragile & prone to disease.

Hey my brother dont sweat the small shit attitude is the bomb.. I did the same but i f$%&d up and made a new account and totaly forgot what my screen name and all my info so i was going thru my old info and couldnt find my order(thats why they call it dope) anyway i sent them an email and they found my order and my account info... But all in all it took 9 days from there to va, once they get to ny,or nj your clear no clue on calli rules as far as there customs. I got stopped driving into calli and they made me empty out my dogs food container due to bugs, and this was at the border of calli and arizona.. Just hill and beans will show up in a brown bubble envelope and another inside that one with your babies.. Good luck and keep on growin..

Oh and for germination i used a paper towel soak and give it a lil squeeze and put them in the fold put towel in a ziplock,put them on top the fridge and they cracked in 3-4 days even on a full moon. This was on our last full moon.

juSt got my seeds today didn't pay for the stealth shipping but it was still very discreet..attitude is dope. I am using jiffy pots, black gold seed starting mix and a home made humidity dome to get mine to pop. I am hoping this will be the least stressful on the seedlings as I only have to transport once.

totally man. I got my seeds in 7 business days to the west coast so im definitely impressed I was thinking I would have to wait like 3 weeks cause of some of the reviews I read. I just wish I had some cashflow right now so I could order seeds on 420 for all the freebies.

I'm near Toronto and always get my beans within 7 business days. My last order got caught up in customs and they opened it!!! They repacked it and wrote on the label where it says to state the contents "Weed"...my wife and i laughed our asses off at that!! Only in Canada EH!!

Just an update all 6 seeds already popped 6/6 germ rate.

i get nearly 100% germ rates with paper towel method. recently i've been using the crush proof tins from attitude with the seeds germing inside under my bed sheets for some warmth. been working like a charm, body heat is perfect it seems, i got 64/64 germination from my Deku f2's.
