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.

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

Hi, I am happy that you like it 😉💚

How long do you think postage takes since u based in Ireland. I'm on Ireland myself

Looking good

Bene, benvenuta 👍✊️🤗😎🇮🇹

i hope we have found a pink unicorn here. the last irish vendor just vanished after a week or two

way too expensive. sort your pricing out

Order arrived just heading to work so can't say what it's like thanks pink lady

How long did it take? About to order and wondering if i should do it Sunday to avoid package sitting in PO for too long. Thanks

I ordered mine Sunday eve they it was posted Monday morning and arrived to me Wednesday I'd say 2 days max if ya order today or tomorrow, I think shop only open for few days so don't wait too long

And ofc now is gone xD

Bollocks... probably be Friday again when they open maybe private message them to see when they open

Thanks I'll order tomorrow so.

Great to see an Irish Vendor but beware,customs won't call to your door for international post they will just keep and send a love letter as long as it's not a big amount. Guardai/drug squad will come to your door if they/post office suspect weed in package. Happened to a mate of mine last year. Don't use standard post....just special delivery.

What happened to your mate? Plausible deniability, deny deny deny if they call. As long as you don't have anything stashed at home should be ok but clearly nobody wants those fascists calling to your door.

3 detectives/drug squad came to the door after package had been received by his wife earlier in the morning. Nobody there when they knocked so they went to his place of work. Called him out of work,took his phone and house key and made him drive home . Did a quick search of house,found package and went through his messages and message apps. He didn't deny it and got an adult caution for the quarter of weed. Wife won't let him smoke anymore tho..lol(not lol :( )

Thats a rough old experience and all for a Q! Sneaky delivering the package then searching.

New strains on Friday, nice flower and nice price☘️☘️☘️

Order received took 1 day gelato og 🤘

Thats great news. Glad to hear. May I ask was the weed nice and stealth on point?

Good homegrown, needed a bit more of a cure but decent 🤘

Thanks! Enjoy smoking some guaranteed Irish!

Shop will be open this Saturday

Fantastic news!

Thank you 😉💚

Had a late one last night am I dreaming or is this shit actually happening welcome pink lady will definitely be making a order

Hi, it is happening 🙂 Organic harvest is ready to go 😉💚

We've been waiting for this day for a long time I'm probably asking a stupid question but will your stealth be good, welcome anyway looking forward to trying your product

An Irish Vendor is like a unicorn! I don’t think internal post is subject to same rigorous checks but doesn’t mean vendor should rest on their laurels.

Ya true only takes one to be snatched for them to be onto it but fingers crossed we have finally a reliable source it's a long time coming

Just put in my first order. Will review when received. Although Vendor not online today has me worried already.

Order was cancelled for some reason.

They gone off the wall completely, looks like a scammer

That’s just sad tbh.
However ordered will get their money back anyway, so it was just a waste of time for the cunt that thought he could get a few quid of some stoners 😶‍🌫️

Your order is shipped, i did not expect that much traffic and so many questions? I need to think and find the best way to deal with it. When you get your order please let me know.Thanks.

OK hope you understand everyone's worry with a new vendor and their wasn't much response from ya once my order comes I can put everyone's mind at ease, thanks for the response pink lady

Who are you addressing mate, as there's 2 of us in this thread that put order in and i send you DM?

If your order is shipped it is shipped. If i cancel till this evening it will be canceled. Sorry. I am not a scam ,dont worry. Just trying and doing my best.

Yeah i get what your saying but my order is not sent or cancelled so can you tell me whats happening with it please? I usually don't use newbies but I gave you a shot now im beginning to think i shouldn't have

The latest will be this evening. If I make it to pack and ship it will be shipped. If no,i have to cancel your order. Sorry. I hope i make it.

Ok cool mate hopefully you can get my order out and ill check back here later on

Thanks

Mines sent now so hopefully all will go well

Oh well, it was too good to be true 😮‍💨
Back on my forced T break i go

That's wierd man im starting to think fake and ill just go through transaxe if order is not sent in the next 24 - 48hrs

Haha should just stick to my trusted vendors but thought I'd give irish newbie a shot

The problem is none (apart from SuperHans) is getting stuff trough.
I’m sick of getting my packages seized, it’s truly heartbreaking.

Have ya tried greenhoney? They back Wednesday he had covid or something, everything has gotten through with them they ship from Portugal, DIUK get alot through too and hans as you said

Well dude they we're offline last week due to illness was meant be back last Wednesday but no sign yet I'll keep ya posted if I see them back

No worries buddy 👍

Best of luck Hoopingmad, but it is worrying to see a vendor offline the very first day after posting items(especially on a weekday)

I Did aswell mate lets hope its not a fake i usually stick to my trusted vendors but gave it a shot this time with a newbie

Deep breaths! Let us know how it goes please 🤞🏼

Shop will be open this Saturday with little stock but 6 new strains.

Hi All, planing to open 19th and close on Saturday lunch time, i will have new, tasty strains;)After this, shop will be closed for 4 weeks.Please put reminder on your phone, thanks

Tomorrow evening , for couple days;)

Next week on wed evening and close on Friday or Saturday morning. I cant wait to show you what i have ;). I am sure, it will be hard for you to make decision what to choose :) After that, shop will be closed for 2 or 3 weeks. Please put reminder on your phone.

This week on Friday morning;)

Pogue Mahone!

Shop will be open this Saturday

Has another IE vendor bit the dust? Pink Lady hasn't been online in 16 days.

and they are gone? what happened?

I did pause the shop, to many questions, yesterday over 60 and traffic to big for me to handle. I need to find the way, I posted some yesterday. I want to see how it goes too. What delivery will work best. If i have time, will post the rest today. If no, you will get refund.Sorry.

Maybe just concentrate on selling to Ireland for now until ya get on your feet just a thought

Thanks, i am thinking the same.

Brilliant idea! Every other country has their own vendors, just stick to Ireland and you still be FLOODED with orders, i promise you 😮‍💨

Yeah, I'm not from Ireland but I would agree. If overwhelmed, sticking to local orders would be most beneficial to all, even if some of us have to miss out *sob* ;)

Thanks;)

Sidenote: having more orders than you can fulfil is a testament to your products/service :)

Welcome back,

Sparita....🤔🤥

Yea the prices seem great too. Hopefully this is legit

Welcome! Hope you can service european customers also

I will try, shop will open tomorrow;)

So open or closed? I'm confused now...

He/she/them open the shop only a day a week to be able to keep up with the demand. Just send a message and ask when the shop will be open again 👍🏼

I ordered from Pink Lady Saturday when the shop was open, order arrived today, brilliant stealth and lovely bit of flower. I’d wait for the shop to open again..it’s well worth the wait and still way quicker than the UK orders, which for me just ain’t coming through anymore.

Thanks😉
