    Question Deliveries to your own home.

    Hi, I've read a lot of security threads on here and general consensus is don't get anything delivered to where you're going to grow. The only thing is however, I don't really have anywhere else to get it delivered. The vast majority of my mates are stoners and to get items delivered there would put them at risk as they always have weed in the house. I have everything I need except a good lighting system. I've found a good one online, 600w hps, read loads of reviews about the seller and their all good talking of fast delivery, great quality etc and I'm thinking as I'm in no rush to start growing just buy it and wait a while. Have the kit just in the house while I swat up and start my first grow in the new year. I've thought about the cops waiting a frew months then searching my house so they find a good haul and not a few seedlings, but am
    I just paranoid? I have no priors at all and have never expressed any desire to grow in public, only to my girlfriend as this is her house too and to my two closest friends during toking sessions, but quickly convinced them I'd gone off the idea as soon as I seriously considered growing.(Economy7 heating making it too dry. lol)

    Go to the shop and buy one.
    Or use a reputable retailer.

    Sorry if I'm no help at all......

    I'm sure it's more of an issue for things being imported into country and getting picked up on by customs

    If it's a supplier in your country, they'll use regular post/parcel services so you wont be getting a great big green look-at-me van turning up BUT, In NI there could be a bit more scrutiny of all the post, for obvious reasons!

    Buying direct from shops here is very expensive, have to get it sent from England or its just not worth it. The seller seems reputable, I first found them on E-bay and their registered as a top seller and have hundreds of good reviews, but not wanting to buy on E-bay where the sale will be recorded i found their website to buy direct.

    Yea I see your point about it being customs where the real risk lies, dont think there'd be any more srcutiny over the post here. Thanks

    unless the grow shop you buy from is supplying the police with a list of names and addresses of their customers (very unlikely) then i doubt you have anything to worry about mate... at the end of the day there must be thousands of online transactions done every day between all the hydro/grow shops, so you need to ask yourself how likely you think it is that your single purchase for a grow light would be singled out...

    i say go for it, but at the end of the day its up to you..

    Use greens, I always order my stuff to my house from there, it's legal equipment, they ain't gonna go around your grandads house because he ordered some gear for his allotment, or his indoor chilli tent etc etc

    That's what makes me laugh, everything is legal to buy (including canna beans!) yet it's illegal to grow.

    But don't forget that growing crops and such is a massive industry before we get started on the canna scene, so we are sort of covered by our old folk who like all aspects of gardening, and even if they filtered out possible canna growers somehow they would start with cash croppers who order in bulk etc, not us little tent in the bedroom doing one or two plant growers

    Rest easy mate

    Greens even tx ya when the drivers 5 mins away, plain unmarked boxes aswell

    Peace

    I'm really skeptical about buying online but herbiesseeds is only place i would buy seeds from and have brought equipment from ebay for a few mates and myself over a few years and touch wood never had any come back from unwanted visitors, however i'm always skeptical about this but like people say there are prob 100's of thousands of sales done each day i guess its down to who they find buying on a big enough scale to find issueing a warrant acceptable, as if you see the t.v shows where people in uk are just doing a lil percy grow they think well this was a waste of time in comparison to commercial grows / house conversions - that's what there looking for! not someone growing 10 plants for personal use.

    My thinking would be how do they know if you are just someones mate getting you to order for them anyway.
    If its for personal and small scale I would be surprised if anyone would be assed anyway.
