I’m pretty sure the only postal workers that know our seeds are getting crushed are the 420 friendly postal workers. It is up to us to figure out a way. I like the way Heaven’s stairway used to send. Amazon carries the cardboard part, the Coin Flip protector. They always made it, plus, when you staple it together, there is a ramp on all 4 sides to gently raise the postal machine rollers. I’m just trying to figure out how/where to little ring HS put in there. I received a mailing like that and the person that mailed it used a hose washer to protect the seeds in the Flip. they were quite tiny seeds, though. Two of the seeds I gave away are large enough the hose washer wouldn’t be adequate protection, so, the search continues…

Just how is that safer? It’s basically a chatroom. Chatrooms don’t feel safe at all.

I am a bit surprised the cannabis industry hasn’t designed something for just that purpose, like a small saucer shaped container that is only 3/16" (about 5mm) total thickness, or a rectangular container, same thickness with wedge sides.

I was thinking something like that light weight aluminum washers maybe doubled up, thickness to be determined by how big the seeds are and taped with the seeds in the middle then placed in a coin protector cases !

Mine go through regular letter-mail sorting/rollers without much (if any) loss. Try that method next-time C-50.

…my durban crosses arrived in-tact, for the record.
Thanks c-50 :+1:

Sorry the paranoia was kicking in pretty bad earlier.

Your container method is VERY sturdy, brother @Scissor-Hanz. I started to send one that way, but the post office here pushes the letter envelope through this thickness gauge slot to determine if it will fit the rollers without damaging their precious machine. The containers you use won’t go through the slot, so it got turned down. You can send anything you want in a padded mailer because it doesn’t go through the postal machine, it gets hand sorted instead. The drawback to using a padded mailer is it is $3.50 to send even an empty padded mailer. I can live with that if necessary, but to send internationally, anything but a letter envelope needs a customs form filled out, which I prefer not to do.

Letter envelopes don’t need a customs form, so I am trying to find a container that will fit through the machine in a letter envelope. The USPS, not only gets more expensive each year, it gets more restrictive. The next one I try, I’ll mail to myself from another city and see how it goes.

Edit: added from here down.

No need to apologize, I understand paranoia!! I am pretty paranoid myself. I frequently just have to say “Fuck it” and do it anyway.

This is one of those times I wished I was still working. I was (am) a precision machinist and I’d just knock out a couple of hundred or so in a hard, not brittle, plastic, like nylon. Nylon is very tough and nearly indestructible, but I am not returning to work just for that. :slight_smile:

That’s what, about $0.71 cents USD? That is what it cost me to send in the continental US only.:disappointed:

Got my beans today! The plastic flip top containers worked well, but 3 seeds seem to have not made the trip (1 seems salvageable). 3 cracked out of 50 is still a damn fine result. Thanks a million @Cobra50! In the future I will try to shoot you some Herijuana IBL seeds that we’re planning on making.

In Canada, you can just use two 0.85cent stamps to mail to USA. 3 stamps will get ya anywhere :grin:… Unless its going to Mexico or central/south America. Then you need a priest to bless it and a witch doctor to wave a fishbone over it first.
