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.

Stuff like parcel motel.

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!

nice

Shop open kid. Move fast 🫶🏻

Good stealth for 🇮🇪to🇮🇪 🫶🏻😂

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

Cheers

We ship UK to UK and have some of the finest buds from all around the world ! Check us out. Next day delivery tracked and signed for on all shipments

They looking for vendor selling to Ireland with good stealth

Got one aswell from DIUK 10 days from order date that's 2 from 2 off these guys and only $2 postage

DIUK all the way guys. I've been receiving to Donegal since Jan. 1st seizure last week, I didn't stick to my plan and ordered on a different day. I contacted them and boom! 1 week later FULL reship. They have been a dream for me from my first message to them. I know not everyone has the same experiences with vendors but I had to write them up as its been a pleasure to deal with them from day 1.. I offered my little knowledge on how the nose of a customs dog works, they were happy to take it on board and as I say I've received about 12-15 deliveries. Happy shopping! (there's always risk)

What day would ya usually make your order?

Tues eve for Wed shippng. My idea is to not have itin sorting center over weekend. It takes 7/8 days usually. My friend had one seized from them recently but they dispatched a reship.. Always a risk but i think they really try to keep the packagng free from contamination.. Good luck bud!

Cheers buddy my one's that got nabbed we're always ordered on a Thursday so your probably onto something, I agree with DIUK all the way never had one seized with them but I do tend to try different vendors I think I'll just stick to them, their uncle beanz ice cream cake is tasty smoke, thanks for your reply buddy

I used to do other way around- order on a thursday- thinking they will be busy over weekend and less likely to pick it up- had 2 seizures from TGT ( to two different addresses) - they must keep your name on list. Anyone have stuff come thru lately (20th Sept)

Need more advice like this so we can also ship to Ireland with more confidence

We have shipped many times with no issues but are seeking advice to send bulkier items

My latest (Feb 2023) order from DIUK to Dublin didn't deliver :-(
No re-ships or compensation offered.

Did u create a dispute?

Just ordered 3.5g off green finger on the 13th it arrived on the 16th that was the quickest yet

My 1g got seized. Crazy

TGT packaging is so easily recognisable- once they seized a few no chance of it getting thru even if its vacuum packed. My reship had value of €35 on it- which meant it would have been opened or held for tax anyway- they are also stupid enough to put a return address- all making them easily traceable. Havent ordered in a month wondering is anything getting thru

I’m sure return address is fake or is not near them

So what value is best to put on parcels to avoid getting picked up for tax ?

I usually send as a gift and state it is worth £25

Dont you think that a return adress makes it like less suspicious? Ong it has its downside aswell but i feel like it would raise suspicion if there wouldnt be a return adress.
DoE^

My 7g hash order was seized :-(

I had 3 seized, feeling hopeless at this stage :(

Have you tried a national seller?

Feck. How big were the orders that were seized. Yep I did spot a seller in Ireland but seems he is offline at the moment

Just answered you privately

Got 4 out of 5 carts in from DUI great stealth but I know it’s not weed/hash

He existed/ sold for only a week. Ordered some hash off him, which was a bit pricey but very good quality

https://littlebiggy.org/link/sOgPCZ

We also deliver to ROI since 2020
Never had one single pack get intercepted- 100 % land rate

Pretty much best prices too.

Thanks

LUD

Haven't seen ya send to Ireland in ages LUD your weed was really good hopefully you back to us soon, your stealth was best I've seen on this

I'd stay away from Radar Breeder and TGT, just my experience, DIUK for us Irish all day. Best of luck!

Great list of vendors to Ireland. I've used The Green Team in the past, really good stealth, quick and top quality.

Irish customs should inhale the sized parcels, get high thoughts relax and be happy.

It's just a plant with more healing properties than the drugs that are find in pharmacy.

It's going to be legal everywhere, including Ireland, within 3 to 5 years (remember this ).

We apologise to our great Irish friends , but we cannot fight against such big and powerful institution, with different types of control and several people dedicated to this.


If anyone from customs is reading this, please use one of the parcels you sized and judge by yourself, don't believe the politics. You are fighting for cannabis prohibition without even knowing that you are being manipulate.

Let us make Ireland greener, peaceful and happier than ever 💚🌱

Peace and love

Greenhoney has stopped delivering to Ireland

Welcome to the land of the toughest customs in the world to get deliveries past.
In good times, things sail through for the most part.

Right now, seizures left right and centre with reports of people getting multiple love letters.

Avoid Spain. It just isn't working anymore. There will always be exceptions but it's not consistent unless you are happy to lose some packs.

UK is better. A guy I know has had 2 out of 5 seized in the last month.

All of last year, no problems.
While in the thick of this crackdown, it's pot luck.

They usually lay off at some point but expect to get love letters randomly even when things are normal.

Arh! Thanks for your comment! Scary! What happens when you do receive a letter? Do you get in any kind of trouble?

Feel your pain dude had an order been assessed by customs not looking good made my Friday a miserable one but I might lucky if seized I'm sticking with NoobBuster

I know a few lads that have been having issues, myself included. Like Kilkenny below, I had one that is apparently still at Dublin Parcel Hub but that was literally 6 weeks ago and is long gone lol.

From what I've read and heard, Athlone is the real problem area. I have had a 1 package show as delivered but wasn't and a 14g parcel show up empty. Things seem to be hit and miss lately but a few months back I had zero issues so it's possible there is just heavier monitoring etc.

The only thing I will say is that I have NEVER had an order from TGT not show. Credit where it's due, their stealth is top of the heap in my opinion.

Is tgt stealth different to the rest? Most are just vac sealed in a foil smell proof bag that I have got. I was getting most of mine from ndwuk but they seem to have disappeared

I wouldn't say different as such, just very professional looking. For obvious reasons I can't give away their stealth and what have you but I have had about 15+ order from them and all have been spot on. Zero smell and always on weight.

Those guys from Athlone should chill out a bet, probably smoking all our Goode's.

That’s damn dog!

It needs to be killed. I wonder are there any parasites/ diseases from abroad that irish dogs aren't vaxxd for. I wounder would corona make it lose its sense of smell

Had one package that never left the Dublin parcel hub, there since 05/09/20. No love letter or nothing. Some people saying a postal worker is taking a few of them, don't know for sure though

Had pack seized , got customs letter, if u don't get letter it's most likely someone working in post office

I just had one seized too, have ye had any get through recently?

Yeah I got my 50% reship there yesterday and another package came a couple a days after that one was seized.

To the same address?

Yeah man. Addresses don't get flagged, not as far as I am aware. I suspect it's just when this one particular person may be working but it's all spectaculation on my part. Address wouldn't get flagged unless your ordering kilos.

Just logging on to see if anyone is getting any thru (20/09/21). Dont see point ordering if there are so many seizures- anyone ordered from Hootan lately? (Eu)

Got stuff from hashishin last week,so ordered off DIUK twice last week first one received today so stuff is getting through happy days 20/09/21 hashishin was oil and amazing stealth and DIUK was RSO great stealth as well

I ordered off DIUK same day and came thru- excellent quality stuff too

Ya I got an oz off him for $200 arrived in 5 days, he's back to the UK soon that's why his prices are low

I'M BACK AND AS MANY CAN VOUCH I CAN CONSISTENTLY BEAT IRISH CUSTOMS. WAS OFFERING 100% REFUND IF SEIZED BEFORE MY HIATUS

bigga it ALL comes down to Irish customs. Specifically the custom of drinking oneself to death. This must be protected.

have you noticed the customs letters never have the right amount on them. always at least 50% extra or doubled.

That’s very interesting. I received an order recently. The letter and package was open and you could clearly see what was inside. Was still delivered! Are customs officers getting tired??

I have an order that’s in Dublin since 30/08. Every 2nd day it says post received and sorted but no sign of it being dispatched. No idea what’s going on!

postman stole it. Sometimes mine holds onto it for a few days after he receives it- reckon he knows whats going on. All they need to do is stick a needle in if they suspect, and they'll get the smell- are u gonna complain to an post if your weed was stolen?

Last week fine. This week empty package with a customs letter from Athlone.

Just had the same thing happen to me. Just curious, did you order again with delivery to the same address? Wouldn't that be risky?
Are there any Irish dealers on here?

I once received a delivery from one vendor and a letter from customs the same day. Unless you're importing kilos I wouldnt worry. Always good to be careful though. There was an Irish vendor on here but didnt last long unfortunately. Im amazed, serious coin to be made from Irish customers.

There a bunch off stupid pricks thinking there making a difference

What's the longest any of ye had to wait for a delivery from UK to Ireland?

Depends if its actually sent when they say it's sent, at the moment it might take longer shit going on over there with shortage of lorry drivers or something, I've had 1 which I never received, didn't get the dreaded customs letter either, how long you waiting

Yeah that's it load off shit with lorry drivers going on there.. waiting about 2 weeks.. vendor definitely sent it never had any problems before probably take longer customs on both sides now..don't need another one off those letters

Jesus 2 weeks is a long time dude I'd give it few more day's but it shouldn't take much longer hopefully you have it before the weekend, best of luck dude hope it comes for ya

Yeah I hope so even just the love letter lol hopefully I will this seller spot on but alot had changed in last few months

What vendor do ya use if ya don't mind me asking

Superhans very good stealth nd sound like everyone saying customs upping there game

Yep. 4 Nov and customs have ramped up to fecking 90. Either love letters or nothing. 3 failed deliveries from 3 different vendors in a row now. Total bummer.
