Just lost $250.00 to a major seed bank in Cali I won't mention their name. Beware sending cash and if you are from a non legal state maybe PO employees or something.maybe I should just send them a credit card and my drivers I'd to make it easier for Them.
This is true and happened about a month ago. 1 pack of solfire turnt an 1 pack of Canna research grape cake mints. Gone.

Nothing at all, not even an empty mailer?

I've had three seed orders intercepted but all were from the UK and got snatched up by US customs in Chicago.
USC takes the seeds and would either stick a form letter in the mailer regarding contraband or one with a snarky hand written note on a PostIt that read "You've been bad".
And the mailers were always taped back up with green tape that has the seal of US Customs printed on it

I've sent cash within the USA for seeds and it's always worked great but I also used tracking and would email the seed bank the tracking #. I use USPS priority mailer cardboard envelopes they have at the PO.
Lately though I've been using the Cash App and it's worked great

A major seed bank... hmmm. And who sends cash anymore by mail?
 
Thanks for the replies!
I should at least get a money order. So many points in between it could be !ost.
1990's is about right, gypsy nirvana, doc chronic, heavens stairway I started seeding cash out of fear.
This now is mostly laziness on my part.Stuff some money in an envelope and send it doesn't work any more I guess.
.the worst part is not getting the seeds.
second worst part is the order w/shipping was $230.00 total and I sent 250.00 keep the change!
 
I use Venmo or a credit card.

I have sent many dollars through the mail, over the years. I'm glad those days are over, but I have to say that the cash was only stolen once. It seems that someone at a PO in the Netherlands figured out that cash got sent to a particular address a lot.
