What does Processed Through Sort Facility mean? USPS?

I'm suppose to receive a international letter from the tude and when I track it with usps it says Processed Through Sort Facility. It been saying that for 7 days with no change. What does that mean? Has it passed through customs yet? How long should it take? Why have they not updated anything for a week? Why do they even have tracking if it's useless? my order processed and left on the 31 of last month. so it's been 13 days. Any experiences with isc in Chicago? Should I be worried? I really hope it didn't get nabbed because the seeds I ordered where very special and very limited. only 6000 seeds where made of this strain and it is already sold out on every seed bank. No more to be found anywhere! I got guaranteed stealth shipping but I don't see how they could make it up to me if there is no more to ship. Very worried.:shock:

USPS tracking sucks ass, it's rarely updated. Anyway that means that it has passed though the facility and is on it's way to the next one. Next it will arrive at customs most likely and that's when the fun begins. They may keep it there for quite sometime depending on how many other packages they have. My last order was at customs for 2 weeks before they released it.

You should be fine, even though attitude does not listen when you tell them to NOT put the seeds in the original package. They just wrap mine in the shirt package and all. Either way, it works. :)

Thats more like 8-9 days, Don't know about "leaving friday" but, mon - fri 5 days, mon tues wed 3 more days. About 8-9 business days, I would expect it sometime soon, you don't count weekends though, those are not business days. That isn't tracking anyway, its confirmed delivery I believe but they can't handle calling them 2 different things or whatever, so in the end you only get some arrival/departure scans more or less, and the system doesn't update automatically, it seems to do it periodically.

Thanks for the feed back. Damn so I've been sweating it for nothing because it probably isn't even at customs yet. This is always the worst part. I wonder what the average wait time is? From order to receive. I've ordered 6-7 times from them but for some reason this one seems like it is taking longer at ISC. I'm hoping it's because they stopped working on Saturday and it just might be a longer wait.:-?

Yeah I got one in 19 days (ordered 14th, got 9th of next month), and one in 7 days, depends on how slow customs is, how much shxt they got going on over there, I think they would send you a notification or empty package if they took the seeds anyway, thats how it works for anyone else whos package they opened, but I've not had any probs myself only ordering twice so far.

Well I got my package today. 16 days later. First thing I noticed was the green costumes tape on it and yeah those ass wipes took my beans. Now what do I do? I got guaranteed shipping so all I should have to do is tell them and then they should send me another package but I'm kind of spooked about doing it. Do they put you on a list or something? I ordered with stealth shipping (t-shirt). Maybe I should try candy next time. I don't plan on letting them just keep my money and I would like to have my shit but I don't know if I should be worried or if eventually it will happen to everyone and I should just order again. Should I be worried? What should I do?

No need to worry, I had the same thing happen on my last order and the seed bank resent the beans and they made it through. Happens all the time when they go through Chicago.

the seeds I ordered where very special and very limited. only 6000 seeds where made of this strain and it is already sold out on every seed bank.
No strain is very limited, you give me 1 seed and in 1 grow ill make 1k+ seeds of that strain, its not as special as you think your just buying into the advertising lol.... Breeders gonna say w/e they can to sell their product...Unless its one of the more trusted breeders that have been around for a long time.. You mention the rare seeds but you wont say what they are? Sounds fishy to me bud.. Sucks you lost the seeds, but thats how this type of thing goes. Dont let it get to ya, just contact attitude and find out what proof they need to see for yo to get them to resend the seeds.,

The way it sounds he probably ordered from DNA's limited edition line!
If that's the case yes they are from a respected breeder and yes they are special.
They are limited to a few thousand seeds and according to DNA will never be offered again.
Got my SnowCap LA seeds a few months back, nice plants so far (2wks into flower) looks like it may be a keeper strain.


Attitude will want you to send a pic of the tape on the package.
They will then send you out a replacement order.

I ordered the last pack of kush dream from the tude and yes it was the DNA genetics limited edition , only 2000 packs made. packs of six so that's 6000 seeds. that sounds pretty special to me. Now I wonder what's next. They'll ask for a picture? No problem, but I wonder what they will offer me if there are no more to be found. maybe something of equal value? I say it's the last pack because I ordered 17 days ago and it said sold out when I ordered and it still hasn't been restocked so yeah, damn Chicago custom took what could have been a very welcome strain to add to my personal seed bank.:finger: But no big deal A, just contact them and get some more beans. So there should be nothing to be worried about? I mean they wont contact your local sheriffs office or nothing right? I guess this will happen to everyone eventually. It just really blows. tell you the truth I don't even see any other strains that really peek my interest.

If they made 2000- 6 seed packs wouldnt that be 12000? My math might be a little rusty but I think that is right.

It usually mean the local FBI Office. Just kidding. Every delivery carrier UPS, DHL, FEDEX, and the United State Postal Service have sorting facilities where the route the stuff. Its like a hub for the carrier. For USPS they probably have many hubs but I doubt if it is your local post office. It still might be in your city though. Hope that helps.
