Had my seeds confiscated at JFK so I e-mailed them and asked if they would resend my order.This was sent 1/3 and still no answer.I have sent them six e'mails since and haven't heard a word from them.I won't be using them again for ther shitty service or lack of service.They might be ok and give freebes but if your order is lost your fucked.

Good to know. I'll stick with Herbies until they do me wrong.

Stay away from OSSC if you are in the US. Their guarentee only covers you if you live in Europe. I placed 6 orders first 3 came thru no problem and i thought they were the best. Up until my last 3 orders placed during their xmas and nye promos. All 3 were confiscated after 3 weeks. I messaged them and they responded quick and were professional. However all they would offer is 1/2 refund in the form of credit which cant be used towards shipping. Now im screwed with all this credit but seeing as how i dont know if ill get my shipment im out of luck. Dont risk using them unless you want to give them your money. Lost half my money and 3 shipping costs. And have credit ill probably never use again. Also youll have better luck to the us with companies that actually use stealth. Their stealth consists of just placing the beans in a brosure for their company. I bet they are a great company to use if you are in Europe but if your in the US and value your money and privacy STAY AWAY.

you know what. to be honest I think its a scam. I think they send the agriculture paper themselves without seeds.. just sayin.. f**k ossc. I emailed many many times. I also gave them dickheads a link to my grow for free seeds.. well guess what, I hear nothing, ever..

I have ordered 3 times from herbies and all three orders made it here to the dirty south in less than 3 weeks. All came with free seeds, in my opinion herbies is the way to go if you want beans from multiple breeder. I have also ordered twice from Memphis genetics. I can't say enough good things about MG and Mitch. Low prices tons of freebies. Awesome packaging, super fast shipping. Only took 6 days to the south "wow" I'm waiting on my second order now. I can't recommend them enough! ! I will continue to do business with Mitch. Thanks! !!

Yeah after my experience with ossc i tried herbies and they made it here in like 6 days and tracking worked all the way. They even responded with my questions in less than 24 hours. IMO herbies is yhe best and have only read great things about them. Not trying to peomote them just letting everyone know my experience with ossc. Plus their stealth was actually stealth. Ill stear away from ossc though. Wish i could give my credit to someone who could use it but not sure if i can do that.

just got another order from ossc and got a butt load of free auto seeds along with the order. has been awesome for us. I see that some folks are having trouble with the orders being confiscated but I feel that could happen with any seed company, just the luck of the draw. when you are ordering seeds from foreign country's these things will happen and it not their fault that the us doesn't allow these shipments. when I ordered I mistakenly ordered 3 photo seeds. I wrote to them and told them and they said if I send them back they will send me the auto version of them and they would cover the shipment of the new ones even though it was my fault

It's not the confiscation that's the problem in and of itself. If they have poor stealth packing that makes them a worse choice than a company with better stealth packing methods. Also, some companies offer free reshipping if it's confiscated with stealth packing (Herbies and Attitude both do, for example). While shipping the seeds and saying "Godspeed, it's not our fault if they get seized" may not make them a shady company, the risk has to be factored in to your purchase.

Seeds aren't cheap; at the best of times they're at LEAST 4 or so USD per seed, and often more (frequently double this amount or higher). Getting just a handful of seeds can run over 100 USD in short order, and shipping is never cheap (except with Mephisto, since they offer free shipping!). Buying seeds is a significant investment for a potential grower, and the myriad of risks with cultivating cannabis mean that we have to be VERY discriminating. The sad truth is, only companies with the very best methods, prices, and longest lucky streaks are going to get the best reviews and repeat business. Any seed shipment can get confiscated by customs; it's how often it happens and what the company does about it that determines how we regard them.

Sooo after I read all this damn pages I will give a go to original sensible seed company. The other banks are ok but the promos suck... I'll get some Dinafem auto cheese xxl see what's up. I'll reply to the thread awith the result. Btw I wouldn't order from US... The probability for the pack to get stuck in customs..

Have had my last four shipments caught at jfk . after the first three I waited three months then I ordered the insured tracking
they changed my order to stealth because they said it was the best way to get my order through even though the other three were stealth and got caught. I have lost around $600.00 each time they give you about 50% credit so eventually your down to nothing. the first year I ordered I got my orders through the last two years I have had four orders seized at jfk. I wont use them again
