Did you speak to Gavin on the phone & he hasn't gotten back to you?Purchased about 500$ worth of seeds, did the bitcoin thing which gave me a serious discount.. down to 400 and some change.
Shipment 1 hits Chicago (Aprox. 4 weeks to door step) - DVD Method - Customs tears it apart and sends me the DVD's.
I spoke with some chill dudes at Gorilla and let them know, sent pics, offered to compensate their loss or split the difference..
(b/c hey I'm a fair guy and we both are gambling right?)
Shipment 2 hits Chicago (Aprox 2.5 weeks to door step) - DVD Method plus a few extra things (i'm not mentioning what) - Customs tears it apart and I get a few new DVD's.
So I'm in the same boat again, this time trying a different address in another state that I know doesn't hit Chicago. Of course I am willing to pay extra $ because I enjoy good customer service and live in the real world. I was supposed to hear back last Monday, I'll try to reach back out next week and get a status update.
I can say that these guys are cool when you can get hold of them, although you do need to reach out a bit and engage them. I understand Gorilla can't just reship forever until the package gets through.
I did have a thought though... no one watches DVD's anymore. Shipping them first class over night or whatever internationally seems suspicious. Maybe an alternative method? I'm pretty sure they know what to look for right now 7-18-2015.
Guys, only order like 5 seeds. Track your shipment; If it's moving through Chicago DO NOT purchase large amounts. Just do very small amounts to minimize your risk.
And U.S. Customs, I must say you're doing a great job at pissing me off. Thanks.
I'll make sure he does.
I don't want to step into the middle of what he's doing for you, but I believe he did send an email with your pictures that I was copied on.
2 in a row is really bad luck, and we keep suggesting better methods for stealth, but our head packer would shoot them down.
He just quit and they're training a whole new crew next week, so it might be a good time to push for change again.
