Who ships discreetly?

Do they fuck. I bought some small lights for my propagator and they came in boxes clearly labelled as grow lights. I was lucky I was in as they came earlier than specified and they normally just drop things with my neighbour.
Haha, I sent back a lumi ballast years ago to the manufacturer. They didn't wrap it all when they sent me a new one. Said 600w digital ballast on it.
I had the parcel force guy eying me up for turning me over.
Asking me if I knew some dodgy folks, if I lived alone and if I worked all day.
No shit!
I went to the van doors and he used his foot to slide the box out of sight and asked me all this while he was pretending to look for it.
Freaked me right out.

I know that vivosun and ac infinity tents both have boxes clearly labeled hydroponic grow tent, ipowers, coolgrows and some Chinese brand with a bunch of random letters were plain boxes. All of em off Amazon

Jesus Christ what year is it? Your delivery drivers are most likely stoners and they really just don’t have the time to give a shit. You think they’re really going to dedicate more than 10 seconds of their day thinking about you?

You have options at payment to ship in Amazon packaging and also to send it as a gift and they will have to put it in a box along with gift receipt
That isn't the same thing as providing discreet packaging by default. TBH all items should be sent in generic packaging, regardless of the contents. That way no one in the delivery chain knows what is in the box. I have a couple of pieces of high end electronics go missing in transit because the sender used branded packaging, Apple spring to mind here.

No I don’t expect them to care but…
What if they do?
I have kids and a wife to take care of and I can’t go to fucking jail/prison.
I understand the likelihood is low but low isn’t good enough.

not to mention what if they are a stoner like you say… who’s to say it’s not a sketchy fuck who then decides to rob me or some shit.
I understand I’m being paranoid but being paranoid has kept me safe this long.

I am one of the dozens of people that don't live in the USA. Where I am sat the cultivation of cannabis has a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. If I am not in do I want a box that says "grow lights" or "cannabis seeds" on it handed to my busy body neighbour?

Parcel Farce are one of the worst companies on the planet.

That is an 120 mile round trip for the honour of paying nearly double for whatever I want.
I average 12mpg and gas is over $6/gallon - and an hour of my time is worth significantly more than that (according to my employer); I still drive to the dispensary a few times a week rather than have the delivery driver at my door... call me a curmudgeon, but I don't want someone making minimum wage knowing I received $400+ rosin; it's unsettling enough knowing the pharmacy tech have my address - and how much of the REALLY good stuff I may have.
 
So I’ve been looking for alternative routes while having my fingers crossed someone would come up with a brilliant answer for me… I think I at least have a good backup plan.
Apparently Walmart and HomeDepot sell grow tents on there websites.
So if all else fails I can buy it there have it shipped to the store and go pick it up.
The closest HomeDepot to me is about 40 miles away so I’ll probably never see these people ever again.

12mpg only in America. My car does 83mpg. $6 a gallon is basically free of charge. It is double that in the UK. I am not wasting 3 hours of my time to go to a shop that sells nothing I want or need at double the price. My nearest grow shop sells only the "cannabis" brands which were a rip off before he doubled the price.
 
I went with HappyHydro.com
Got a AC Infinity.
Paid more then I wanted to but it’s worth the peace of mind. Not to mention both of my tents match now so that’s kinda cool 8-)
