Thankfully, mine just arrived in the mail just as ordered. First time ordering anything out of country. How often would you guys say U.S. customs find and destroy seeds? I probably would have bought more but wanted to play it safe. Thank You Raul, time to go see if my noob-self can get these guys to germinate.

Thank You Raul, time to go see if my noob-self can get these guys to germinate.last time they made it from raul.you should let your seeds dry and sit for 9 months before trying to germinate. i know others will say thats not the case, but trust me at least save some and do that.
By the way when BP and customs agriculture department confiscates this stuff, they send you the package without the seeds with a letter in it listing the laws you broke and saying "possible fines and jail time blah blah blah". You got to put something besides Semillas on the description or they take it. Rosary beads would be better.
Ilama takes a long time to germinate, and many use gba to stimulate and facilitate the process.If Brad has a natural way (9 month dry wait), would certainly listen and give it a try. Just enough time to have a baby in the mean time.
"Beads" not seeds sounds like the way to go. Sux losing seeds/plants/scions/whatever in shipping. Has happened to me a few times now. Lost considerable amounts of $ too.Lost an AeAe nanner plant due to whacko usps issues last year, along with a few others. Had seeds confiscated from out of country, complete with legal threats as others have reported. Imaging cellmate 1 asking cellmate 2, "Whatchu in for?" Cellmate 2, "Semillas man."Cellmate 1, "You too?"
I am very sorry for all the confiscated seeds. In my opinion if you order only a few seeds, then cutoms will no notice it or bother about, but if the amount of seeds is bigger, then the risk of loosing it increases...
