Ordering Today from overseas
Im ordering today from a vendor i have ordered from before.. Bikhuk.
I am a little concerned that i may not receive it due to seize at customs.. this will be a larger order than i wanted but with upcoming ban i feel its the best decision for myself. Any thoughts or suggestions around this?

No personal experience, but good luck! Why didn't you go with someone ALREADY in the US? Just curious, I've heard good things about the one you chose. 🙂
Have a wee bit better day!
I've ordered from them (overseas and US) and never had any problems. I think it should be fine. Their prices are great. But I also understand how nerve wracking it can be to wait. Seems to me anything done before the end of September should be treated as it always was.
No one in us can beat the quality/price when buying by in pounds.. so far for me.
Unless someone can enlighten me otherwise.
Im just a little sketchy about the western Union thing and i wanted to use credit card.. they no longer take credit cards 🙁
I think if the ban goes into effect you won't be able to order from them, this is on their site
"IMPORTANT - U.S. CUSTOMERS ORDERING FROM INDONESIA PLEASE READ
Due to the legal status of kratom in Arkansas and Alabama we are unable to ship to these states.
We are currently unable to accept International orders from the following states:
HI WA OR CA AZ UT NV ID CO NM"
They have a US based store but that will close if the ban goes into effect.

I can make suggestions for that. But I suspect it's too late? If you decide to ALSO shop in the US, I would do it soon. My suggestions are not on the approved list here, so private message me and I'll answer this afternoon (I still have appts today, even tho I'm unable to work, and tomorrow's my birthday! Mom's Happy Having Given Birth Day, I always say. Never fails to annoy her (she's still rethinking the whole thing, ha!)
If necessary, REMIND ME to check private messaging, so I can recommend contacts HERE that can help you, Lanie. Speaking for ONLY MYSELF, I don't believe a word we've been told. We can hope they honor the date, but they've seized shipments before THIS with no dam reason. Not to scare you, but it's true. They have LIED to everyone from the start, INCLUDING the one news report warning us that the DEA is supposedly worried that "too many people are using this 'toxic' herbal plant to get off heroin". The only lie in that news report was one word, TOXIC

Lanie, you poor thing. I would be FREAKING OUT about using Western Union. I freak out easily. I sent you a private message to get you started. I have more details as to who, and why, after I get back on wifi. Heading out of range for a couple of hours. Time's wasting, get to reading your PRIVATE MESSAGE. If you still want to order and in the US, which I recommend.
Have a wee bit better day!
Ty i sent message. . Btw i sooo get your moms Birthing Day.. i mean she did all the work.. lol.
Happy Birthday Day to you in advance!

I'm ready 20 minutes early (miracle). Look for another few suggestions in private messages
(Yes, some of you generous vendors who have helped me out over the months/years are going to be further burdened with my THANKS and referrals. Including some that sent samples with no expectations! If you PREFER I not give your name, please just let me know 🙂
I owe gratitude orders all over the USA...
Have a wee bit better day!

Does seem strange about the Western Union guys, I agree. I am so annoyed that my usual vendor who charges abt 40 bucks for 250g can't keep it in stock. Now I'm paying double the price for what is coming tomorrow. I sure as hell hope this thing doesn't go into effect, seems wayyyyyy over the top that they're even suggesting putting it in class 1. My other vendor tripled his price! Greedy SOBs if you ask me. Happy Birthday btw 😛 😛 😛
Jennifer, yea the price increasing sucks, the law of supply & demand. But also realize this is a livelihood for some, they've just been told they will be out of business, unemployed. It sucks for them too.

No offense, Jennifer, but your vendor experience thus far sounds very atypical (you are likely paying the PIA prices). And I agree with Jeeper on this, these vendors got ZERO notice (basically) AND they suddenly have to work overtime BEFORE they decide how to buy - anything. Including needed essentials. How would you like to do that AND on a holiday - and to have whining about it? Seriously, I wouldn't tolerate your dissatisfaction, I'd give you an ounce to GO AWAY. Regardless of whether the ban gets reversed, LIFE AS WE KNEW IT IS FOREVER DAMAGED. Like the death of a family member. I'm sorry to hear you're dissatisfied. I feel sorry for your regular vendor. And you. Good luck.

Thanks for the messages Laurie.. i sent you another message as well. I wish we had a private instant message option on this site sometimes

My God you guys are testy on here! Everyone is jumping down my back today. Sheesh! What are PIA prices? And before you assume what kind of person I am, how about asking me instead of jumping down my throat! I personally communicated with my vendor who is sold out and conveyed how sorry I am about what has happened. PA Botanicals kratom was crap to begin with and are now charging ridiculous amounts. And I have never whined to anyone. You seriously need to stay in your lane and calm the eff down lady. Life as we know it is forever changed. Well, welcome to life then. Its about rolling with the punches and not taking out your anger on someone else.
Sorry to hear about your vendor issues. Please check-out others. All my regular vendors have not increased and only one has a limited amount for purchases

Please I hope you don't think I was jumping down your back cause I wasn't. I TOTALLY understand your frustration, I was just explaining the other side's view. This is a big SUCK for all those dealing with kratom except big pharma - THEY (and the DEA/govt) are the ones to get mad at.
