    95% sure customs seized my BIG box of goodies, how does one get them back?

    Alright. So this morning I got contacted by both the wholesaler in Germany and UPS. The wholesaler says it sounds like a UPS insurance issue, and that the package will be resent to me if deemed so. And UPS called to schedule a pick up of the package tomorrow that will essentially start their...

    95% sure customs seized my BIG box of goodies, how does one get them back?

    Hey man, just saw this post after I posted the update Anyway, like I said in my update largely, the company has gone completely MIA. The order was shipped at weighing 10.2kg, and arrived weighing 3.4. There also was a shipping manifest within the box staying everything had been sent in the one...

    95% sure customs seized my BIG box of goodies, how does one get them back?

    Alright. I will say as of now, UPS is giving the me complete run around. I called them Thursday at about 7:00PM to inform them, and was told someone would contact me within 24 hours. That never happened. So I gave them the weekend, all called them today, Monday, and was told since I called them...

    95% sure customs seized my BIG box of goodies, how does one get them back?

    Alright. So I called a customs and imports lawyer, and he agrees. He assumes it was taken somewhere in UPS' logistics chain with the assumption I would assume it was seized and not follow up on it. He also thinks that's why the hookah and humidor were left in the package, because something had...

    95% sure customs seized my BIG box of goodies, how does one get them back?

    I became interested in the Blaze mix and match system, but my ideal set up was going to run me $650ish. So I found who Blaze uses for distribution, applied to them using my appropriate tax numbers through my business, and was accepted. And since shipping was a smidge high, I ordered enough stuff...

    To be honest, this is great news to this guy. I have a feeling it will be much easier to remedy this situation then if it were a customs issue. May I ask where you got this information from?

    95% sure customs seized my BIG box of goodies, how does one get them back?

    I come here with a heavy heart. I purchased a box FULL of goodies from a reputable wholesaler in Germany last week, only to get it today to only contain 2 of my 17 shipped items. Now why I am yet to hear for sure customs has taken it, one can only assume. Now when I say a box of goodies, I mean...

    Can you lower air pump output at night?

    I think suppression seems to be by far the most logical thing to do. I thought about the idea of that in between me posting and getting replies. And it made sense then, and makes even more sense. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions guys. It's my first stab at a DWC, and air pump noise wasn't...

    Can you lower air pump output at night?

    Thank you. I think the foam would be a great idea. I was also contiplating building almost a hut for the air pump, leaving one side open, and lining the interior of it with sound dampening mat, like dynomat or an equivelant. I have the Hydrofarm Active Aqua 6 watt pump

    Apollo 8 LED Wardrobe Stealth Grow

    Hey guys! Sorry about the hiatus momentarily. Anyway, I have to say, I am beyond pleased with the light. Sadly though, I must say, a hasty decision really limited my grow. I ended up with two females, and everything looked great. I had a roommate take care of watering for me over Christmas while...

    Can you lower air pump output at night?

    Hey guys! So anyway, I am currently running 15 liters per minuet of air into my system through 4 larger air stones at all times. My system is a 14 gallon Rubbermaid DWC with 6, 3.75" net pots spread evenly across the lid. So realistically, I imagine that's more then enough air then is needed. I...

    Apollo 8 LED Wardrobe Stealth Grow

    So I have to say, the light seems more then sufficient! There still is no stretching, to the point where i decided on keepers in a few pots by which ones actually bothered to grow up. They are nice a dense, node spacing isn't over an inch on any of the plants. I guess in the grand scheme, this...

    Apollo 8 LED Wardrobe Stealth Grow

    Not too much to say today. Growth is still going great since the soil issue got sorted out. But man, I'm surprised just how short and stocky these things are staying! Sounds good to me!
