ordering from another country within EU - customs issues?
    #10682917 - 07/15/09 04:03 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

I have recently ordered from a shop in Holland a growkit and magic truffels.

The shipment stayed in East Germany for seven hours, accoring to the tracking, but it finally reached my door.

When the parcel was on hold I reflected on the safety or bravado of such a  venture.

Truffles and ungrown shrooms - they are not illegal yet, yes? But the parcel was onot opened for content.

Do many of you order form other countries within EU?


Pls share experiences.

I'd also like to know about this. I think the country that I am in is very strict on customs checking packages, but I'd love to get some ethnobotanicals or seeds.

I should mention that the bad experience that I had was with ordering from a country outside of the European Union.

How about you guys, experiences ordering what would be considered "questionable" items by customs, within the EU?

I have tried from azarius this time. Even if customs were interested, they left no trace.

surprisingly, the postman took no confirmation. But i read all parcels are insured.

I have also ordered from Azarius recently for some empty syringes, which are completely legal (I just don't feel comfortable asking for them at the pharmacy.) The delivery time of Azarius was excellent, and they respond quickly to emails. :thumbup:

I am considering ordering some cacti seeds, strictly for microscopy study. I find the small details of different plant seeds fascinating. :cool: I am just waiting for them to reply on how they would be shipped.

Oh, btw, unless it's shipping outside the European Union, there is no customs declaration sticker. So you have your name and address, and their "return address" which is something like "Postbus #XXX, The Netherlands." My package was also packed very well with Styrofoam packing peanuts, so you could shake it and not hear anything inside.

Just thought I would mention for others within the EU. :cool:

Cacti seeds arrived fine, but they mixed up the order a bit (5 seeds instead of 10 were included) and the Lophophora williamsii seeds look a bit mangled, but possibly still viable.

Interestingly none of the other small seed packets took any damage...

I've emailed them about this and taken some pictures so hopefully there is a reply today.

Edit: They replied that they would resend the missing/damaged seeds for free. :smile: Great service!

Ordering from within the EU is probably one of the safest things to do.  I mean theres no border checks and I doubt theres much of a customs check in most countries.

People in UK / US order stuff all the time from India/china etc Stuff like this should cause a red flag but still the majority of contraband seems to get through.
