ship or pack?

[oldfogey8]

i'd like to gt some seeds while i am in the netherlands. is it better to ship them to america or try to stealth pack them in my suitcase? recommendations and/or anecdotes on either method would be appreciated.

thanks,
fog

Honestly it's not worth the risk trying to get them past U.S. customs

I thought about doing exactly the same thing when I was last in Amsterdam..
I realised I would be stressing out the whole flight home- and border security are trained to spot anxious body language...plus they only have to look at your passport to see where you've been and put two and two together-believe me-you don't want to get interrogated and shaken down for a bunch of seeds..

Its just so easy to buy them online these days-or by all means arrange while you are there to have a [reputable] dutch seedbank mail them to you.

JMO..

..Good luck, whatever you decide to do mate.

i vote to just mail em to yourself.
i'm sure you could hide a few beans pretty easily, but much more peace of mind in the post i think.

mail them. if they find them on you your toast but if they intercept them in yhe mail you get a letter.

thanks for the advice. i don't have a good poker face and i am naturally a nervous wreck so i think you all are right. through the mail it is...
