Seed ordering method - need advice!

[Wakenbake]

Alright, I have a friend in Amsterdam and I want to get seeds for my aerogarden. This gives me two options:

1) Order the seeds from planet skunk with a NAB deposit (by the way I only want about 4 seeds)

2) Get my friend to get them from Amsterdam and send them over (please let me know how he should package them so it doesn't get pulled out by customs)

 

These are the two options I have for address:

1) The apartment block I live in does not have a first floor. Security of the door makes the postman leave 'collect articles' cards on the floor everytime, mail hardly makes it into the mailbox, it almost always ends up at the post office. I could use the first floor as a fake address.

2) Get a P.O box with a fake name, but the post office will have to register my address. Or could I use a fake address?...

 

What's my smartest call to avoid getting in trouble or having my seeds taken?

real estate signs would require signatures but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be scanned... do they scan everything for foreign plant matter or?..

Nah, Ev's just referring to the type of plastic that's used commonly for real estate "open day" signs. It's like two layers of corrugated plastic meshed together which creates horizontal lines/pockets that are the perfect size for seeds.

 

There's a (bad) picture of what he means at the link below

Just cut it to the size you wants (a small piece can carry plenty of seeds) and you're done!

I'm assuming I can find this plastic at a hardware store? (By the way my friend in amsterdam suggested putting 1 seed in 4 zipped pockets of a jacket and sending it over, would that work?)

I'd say you could pick some up in an arts and crafts store. As for the jacket idea I'm no expert but I can't see why not.
