Which Seed Banks Reship If Customs Seizes Your Order?

Two seed banks' own shipping pages, read side by side: who replaces a seized order, on which paid tier, what proof they want and how many reships you get.

By June Alvarado 6 min read

Of the shipping pages this desk could open on 14 September 2026, the two that print a seizure reship, Seeds For Me and Herbies Seeds, offer it in the sections read only on a paid tier: Seeds For Me’s $18 US guaranteed-delivery upgrade, and Herbies’ mandatory insurance on Australia and New Zealand orders. Seeds For Me’s base tier guarantees no replacement.

That is the whole answer to which seed banks reship if customs seizes your order, and it is narrower than the forum consensus. Every figure below comes from the operator’s own page as read on 14 September 2026, and can change without notice.

1. Seeds For Me: seizure cover is an $18 upgrade

The Seeds For Me shipping page is the clearest of the set because it says what it will not do. Base domestic shipping, $8 on orders under $99.99 and free at $150 and over, guarantees only that the parcel goes in the mail with a tracking number. If it does not arrive, for any reason other than the bank’s own addressing error, there is no replacement.

The $18 guaranteed-delivery upgrade is where seizure enters. If tracking shows the order was not delivered to the correct address because it was lost or seized in transit, the bank replaces it, on condition you contact your local postal courier first. Three exclusions follow: incorrect delivery details, a fake name that stopped delivery, and theft after tracking marks the parcel delivered.

The international version, $25 to Canada, the United Kingdom and Spain on a $75 minimum order, prints two things the US paragraph does not: a seized order needs evidence of seizure, and there is one free reship per order, with no further attempts if the second parcel fails. The US paragraph states no count.

2. Herbies Seeds: two reships, but only where insurance is mandatory

The Herbies Seeds shipping page puts its seizure term in two places within the section this desk read. Shipments to Australia, at $23.05 (A$33), and to New Zealand, at $28.81 (NZ$50), carry mandatory insurance. If customs seizes the parcel, it covers up to two free reshipments, and Herbies recommends a new delivery address for the next attempt. The fee is non-refundable and undelivered orders are not refunded, so the remedy is seed, never money.

For the United States, the section read states express shipping of 2 to 4 days and stealth packaging, nothing more; the UK and EU sections give delivery times and carriers. No seizure term for those destinations appears in the portion this desk read. That describes our window, not Herbies: the FAQ entry on interceptions began at the edge of the text we could retrieve and was not read, so read it before paying.

3. ILGM, Seedsman and Attitude: the pages we could not open

Three names recur in the forum answers we read, and none of their terms appear here because none could be read: ILGM’s shipping URL redirected to a support hub that returned only navigation, and its terms URL returned 404; Seedsman’s shipping page returned 404 at two addresses; Attitude Seedbank’s shipping URL redirected to the home page. A Rollitup thread has one grower reshipped under Attitude’s paid guaranteed-delivery option after supplying an alternate name and address; that is one account, with no price or count.

What proof does a reship policy ask for?

Every term read here asks you to do something before the bank does anything. Seeds For Me wants the courier contacted first and, internationally, evidence of the seizure. For a US addressee that evidence is the customs notice, which also starts a petition clock. Herbies wants a new address. Both want a real name and correct details on the original order, which is where the souvenir-clause framing on many storefronts collides with a guarantee.

Verdict: which seed banks reship if customs seizes your order?

The practical read is the same as for a replacement policy on a dud pack: buy the tier whose wording covers the failure you fear, then keep the paperwork it names.

Questions readers ask

Do seed banks reship seized orders?

Some do, on printed conditions. Of the pages this desk could open on 14 September 2026, Seeds For Me replaces a seized order only on its paid guaranteed-delivery tier, and Herbies Seeds only under the mandatory insurance on Australia and New Zealand orders. Neither treats a reship as part of the base shipping price, and both attach exclusions and proof requirements.

Does guaranteed delivery cover customs seizure?

At Seeds For Me, yes by name: the $18 US upgrade replaces an order that tracking shows was lost or seized in transit, after you contact the postal courier. It does not cover incorrect delivery details, a fake name that stopped delivery, or theft after tracking shows delivered. The other banks’ guarantee pages this desk tried could not be read, so their wording is unconfirmed.

How many times will a seed bank reship a seized order?

Where a number is printed, it is small. Seeds For Me’s international guaranteed delivery states one free reship per order, with no further attempts if the second parcel fails. Herbies’ Australia and New Zealand insurance covers up to two free reshipments. Seeds For Me’s US guarantee paragraph states no count, so do not assume one.

None of the above says a parcel is lawful to receive where you live, and neither page does either. Check your local laws before purchasing or germinating cannabis seeds, and read the guarantee paragraph, not the badge, before you pay for it.
