vendor order not delivered, what to do

Unfortunately you can't do much as international shipping is always fraught with risk of not receiving your order or it being stopped by border controls etc. I guess it would come down to which company/people you ordered the seeds from. You could always contact them to discuss any options and ensure they had been shipped etc. Some of them may even work out a deal to resend them if you are lucky (don't expect that though it would depend on the vendor and how big the orders were).teguh said:
That's why I don't currently buy or send seeds internationally. Never know if the seeds will make it or be confiscated. I don't want to buy $60 worth of seeds and then never get them because they were seized. Same goes for sending. I'm currently applying for a permit to import seeds. Just need to go to the local USDA office and have my ID verified. It's a pain but Hippy Seed and Semillas have some things I want to grow next year
In theory, the customs department should send you a notice advising if they confiscated something. But that might not happen in reality. On the other hand, they can just ridiculously slow things down - I once sent a package to someone overseas and it took a whopping 15 weeks to arrive at the intended destination. So, as already noted above, I look at international shipping pretty much the same as I look at gambling - you might win and you might lose. You can contact the vendor, but if it's customs causing the issue, they might cause the same issue with a resend, as well.
i had to take the risk because there's NO reputable vendor in my country.Scorched said:

Where at in Indo are you located, I could always use some more beer and seafood along with waves. 
Been buying and selling on Ebay for much time. Much from Russia, former USSR nations, Germany, and the UK. Mainly hardwoods, bone, and other things for knife handles. I have very rarely had merchants ignore the situation when something goes wrong. Write the seller and ask them what is up. I think this is likely true of most internet sellers on and off ebay. People are mostly honest. Sometimes horrifically dissorganized, but honest.
