A real shame.

I have ordered from Jody over the years and never once have I had a package held at, or investigated by customs. All packages have been shipped and then arrived unopened within 3-7 days.

I think this paranoia about people 'watching us' is almost entirely unjustified. If the powers that be wanted to shut down Nature's Spices or Country Baskets or whatever it is or has been called, then they would have done so. Ten or so people importing herbs once a month (or less) is not going to bring down the Empire... ;)

Still, as you say, herbs are plentiful in our native country. I still feel a little disappointed, however, as I trusted the whole set-up (as never had any issues) so looking elsewhere will no doubt involve more 'building of trust' and perhaps inferior products.

Again, never had any problems importing herbs and I've never heard of anyone I know having issues, so I think this paranoia over the Masons/Illuminati/AMA/FDA is largely exagerrated. :(
