Hi! I used to ship to Ireland on a regular basis for almost two years with no orders being seized. for some reason, starting about 6+ months ago many of the orders shipped to IE were 'failing digital custom clearance' and were sent back (not seized), I ship from out of Europe so might worth a mention. after many efforts trying to figure out the situation and which included contacting local post, ANPost, etc I was left with no answer and no persistent handling by ANPost (while some packages failed digital clearance, Identical packages made it through with no logical pattern for why one did and the other didn't). for that reason and the lack of correspondence from ANpost side I've decided to stop shipping directly to Ireland few months ago. since then, I know some of my IE customers using digital address services which offer ordering WW to the UK and then it's handled and shipped to Ireland. I'm writing this because possibly other vendors are dealing with this issue or even better, maybe some Bigga can educate us further on this subject. also, my stealth always made it through so far, and using digital address I'm still available for my Irish customers. cheers y'all!!

It was An post fault at that time.
I can say with 100% certainty that if you shipped as you did back then nowadays that would not happen.

They didn't give you much clarity on it because they were embarrassed at their own failure. I saw lots of reports about this for all kinds of deliveries

EU cracked the whip recently and insisted that customs fees were enforced. There was some talk that they were trying to combat goods coming in from the likes of Ali Express etc without duties paid. An attempt to discourage the use of such sites as well as get monies due to them.

An Post had a double whammy to deal with. The aftermath of Brexit and this EU directive to crack down on items coming in from UK and non EU.

Subsequently the customs clearance system was reworked and in typical Irish fashion, did not function very well at the beginning.

Nowadays, the issue can be that occasionally a vendor fills in the customs clearance form and marks the item too high in value.

This has lead to several of my orders from LB going through customs and incurring an extra charge like a regular item!.
I think it needs to be under 9 euro or so these days or it gets charged.
But hey, apart from a days delay and a couple of quid, if it makes it, all good.

When Customs aren't paying as much attention to what's in them, this is standard enough practice and quite hilarious when you think about it.

However, at the moment, its their time of the year. It happens once or twice a year where they intently check everything at all mail centres.
They do so as every find can add to their "total seized" at the end of the year. It all counts towards using their budget and getting an even higher one next year. You know, because they do such amazing work finding some lads 7g and doubling it up to 16g by weighing the envelope too.

I will try to find some actual sources hashishin for the issues you mentioned with An post previously.
If your current method works, that's great. But I'd say in normal non customs interference times, you could now ship using standard methods. They sorted that issue.

Can I ask what is meant by digital address services ?

Stuff like parcel motel.

Thank you

Had a string of love letters myself.

Did these love letters come recently?.
I have had two back to back from an EU vendor.

Heard from a friend who had one from a Canadian vendor.
Posting this in Feb '23 to be clear.

They are absolutely hammering deliveries at the moment.
Not just Athlone but Dublin too.
Are these all tracked?. Mine were.

They will settle down eventually but I've two on the way and now I'm very worried that I won't get them.

On the stealth issue. I do think it helps somewhat but if they are looking intently for them, I really don't think it matters that much.

Also international postage has now restarted from Post office counters so vendors like Gentleman should be back shipping soon.

I got love letter on Monday if it's been tracked and comes up assessed by customs it more than likely seized but ya might be lucky, I had none seized last year but I'm already off to a bad start

Yep, twice for me this year so far.
Both from Spain and yes both said "assessed by customs". Straight into the "customs office" as per Spanish tracker, the minute it arrives. If anyone from ROI gets anything through at this time, savour it. Unfortunately, none of us are bullet proof.

They will stop this onslaught eventually as they usually do. But right now, good or bad stealth, tracked or non tracked and whatever country it's from, if it is on the way to ROI then there's a very high chance of it being seized currently.

I can second that, some of the stealth on here is pathetic and when it's seized postage methods aren't changed at all I've given up on LB until the gentleman dealers are back

Hello furball, Hello LB users and readers,

I dont want to talk too much and jump directly to your question:

"My question is this, with literally 100's of vendors, many claiming 'next level stealth' or 'excellent stealth' can no one get a bit of bud past our customs consistently?"

They basically claim it to be "next level/excellent stealth" because they can, sugarcoating their services.

Maybe spanish postal services are subject to more frequent customs searches since Spain is known for being the european gateway of cannabis.

For Hashishin:

- In my experience (never had it happen before) international mailing services are returning Parcels to senderns when:

A. "It is likely that the electronic customs declaration made by the retailer/sender for your item may have been insufficient or invalid according to Customs regulations. An Post cannot amend customs declaration so items with incomplete data must be returned."

B. goods within your parcel may be in a category of goods treated as prohibited

C. Your item will be returned to the sender if the charges are not paid by the “pay by date".

In Hashishins case A seems to be the most likely (maybe in combination with B). Usually parcels with incorrect or missing customs declaration or information will be returned to sender, especially if it is sent via correos/DHL/UPS as a parcel, those are prone to customs.

We are based in Germany and ship to Ireland/UK/NA without any issues at all. 100% landing rate for Ireland as of now (16 March).

Hi Dank! Thank you for your replay.

The information you've supplied is the general information available on ANPost site.

Please rest assured I went above and beyond trying to understand the nature of the rejection of my parcels by ANPost (since about feb 22 up until my last shipping to Ireland around nov 22) especially after couple of years of smooth shipping to Ireland to many respected customers (with 100% land rate.).

After directly contacting all carriers involved in the shipping process no solid reason could be provided and therefor I've suspended my shipping to Ireland on the end of '22.

To my best knowledge and thank to few extra cooperative Biggaz it came to my attention that this problem with ANPost occurred last year with many orders from outside of EU and was discussed on eBay and Amazon forums as well.

Therefor I suggest that packages was sent back neither because Reasons "A" or "B" according to the information you've provided, but as general defect in ANPost service (as of feb-nov '22).

For the past month or so, I'm hearing that the situation with ANPost of non-EU packages might have settled and so I declare renewing my service to Ireland.

As always, all orders shipped with ninja stealth and insured (100% refund) in case of being sent back.

Cheers to you Biggaz and much love!

Shop open kid. Move fast 🫶🏻

Good stealth for 🇮🇪to🇮🇪 🫶🏻😂

Nice looking buds but mad price for 1/2 oz.

Cheers

They looking for vendor selling to Ireland with good stealth

Definetly reccomend RSO, Can't beat the reputation of DIUK either. Always top service from them 👌

I'll second that on recommending DIUK, they're fantastic, and RSO has been used to treat cancer patients since it was invented

Hi Corbeau,
Take a look into RSO oil if they are not a current smoker. Lots of stuff about it online 😊

Sorry to hear about your situation.

A high quality R.S.O seems like the product you are looking for, if you have any questions feel free to pop us a message. We currently provide this product to other customers for this application, and we've received great feedback

If cannabis is to be use just for relieving symptoms of other treatments, edibles (food with cannabis) or vape flower are the best.

If you wanna considering the main treatment to be cannabis... Then Rick Simpson Oil (full expetrum tinture) is the one to be searched and used.

Another tip is to be aware of tolerance and dosage (mg = milligrams of extract ) .

Hope it helps and everything goes well.

Been researching this for similar reasons. I wonder if this might work? Not tried it yet myself (my tolerance is pretty high), but figured it could be best for my relative (who has never used cannabis, so needs something gentle)... I've heard that a full spectrum 1:1 mix of THC/CBD has the best medicinal effects...also, calling a helpline like Macmillan may offer some forms of support/advice the NHS has overlooked, so I'd definitely recommend using one too (they've been a lifeline for our family - even just having someone knowledgeable to talk to helps a lot). I hope you find something suitable mate.

Just scroll through the items, there’s all sorts on here, and definitely something that will work... just really depends on what she’d like.

Hi Docazz

Everyone loves a porno bud but surly quality is king as when in the grinder it’s all the same 🤷‍♂️ not quality but just the green.

I tend to find big buds = big steams = less weight?

Why?

Never fully understood this one myself. In fact, I find the smaller buds are tastier than the big ones, a bit like strawberries.

The bud in the image above contained very little stem and was fully dried. I had another from the same grow that was just over 14g (again fully dry).

They're a nightmare. Firstly they require some serious stealth adjustment, because you sure as hell aren't getting that into a large letter (I usually just keep the big ones for myself even though I prefer smaller buds to smoke), then there's the growing part, where these big buggers are just sooooo prone to bud rot it's unbelievable.

My latest MAC grow has some massive colas and I've got 2 dehumidifiers going as we speak to keep the RH down below 40% late in flower, because if bud rot does kick in, in one of the big colas it spreads like wild fire. It's such a stressful part of the grow when there are these big buds forming.

So yeah, don't understand the obsession with big buds at all, neither for smoking nor growing. I guess "bag appeal" to impress your mates might be a factor but it's not something I care about at all.

Give me 1g buds over 10g ones all day long.

Just my 2p though and each to their own.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

I’ve always thought the same about big breasts tbh…

Stealth 🥷 must be a nightmare with buds that size. You don’t want squashed buds lol 😂

Agreed BB

But is some fucking nug 😳

They might not be as tasty as the smaller buds, a pain to grow in every way and a nightmare to package for stealth but you can’t help but be impressed when you see colas this big.

The extra work that goes into keeping them from fucking up the rest of the grow completely should never be under appreciated either.

This is the biggest cola I’ve ever seen and I’m still impressed by it even though I’m no sucker for ‘bag appeal’. I appreciate a well trimmed grow when it’s done nicely and don’t like over paying for a load of fan leaves but once it’s been though a grinder it generally all looks the same.

Haha, that was the one! Pretty sure you got the 10g bud from the other picture too if I remember correctly?

Can't go into the stealth but had to do something a bit special to get those two big buggers out to you!

Hope you're well buddy

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

You did but don’t still have a pic of it. I like to look at this one when I need cheering up. The extra effort that went into get these to me without having to break them will never be forgotten.

I’m all good thanks buddy but haven’t been that active on here recently as have been really busy with a sick grandmother but knowing your MAC grow is coming along nicely has cheered me up no end. The last lot you grew is probably my favourite of everything I’ve ever had from you

It is a lovely nug tho 😻

As we know, size doesn't matter 🙄... but god damn it's impressive 😍

33-z hands down. While current batch lasts

Our hydro gelato comes with big fat nugs :)

Can't argue with that. Mine arrived today. 1/8 and the big bud is just over 3g.

honourable mention for Greencat's Cheese - massive buds

Hey man appreciate it a lot! Enjoy the smoke and hope to hear from u again soon!

Sumo Out!

I tend to find bigger buds from the same grow are usually tastier . Maybe there tends to be a bit more stem but vendor usually puts this into account . I like braking parts off the bud to roll into a spliff

Di lemon haze hash. Can be crumble into warm milk, for coffee or hot chocolate. Really good happy buzz. Anyone who could be arsed to read my history, will see I'm fucking obsessed with the stuff. Recommend it for everything 😂😂

damn, that sounds good, and exactly what i'm looking for! thanks so much :)

Try a bit of rso,few on here selling it,go steady with it though.

thank you - will bear this in mind!

I had some awesome brownies off of northern organics. I'm trying there canna capsules ATM there equally good. All the best

thanks so much!

Thai if you can vape or smoke

Great - thanks so much. :)

Eddy's edibles give them a look.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you letting me know. Not sure why I got downvoted for asking a simple question, but c'est la vie :)
