Let’s say a person has some pure fire genetics that they’ve grown and want to share with Journal Gardeners. What would be the best way to go about that? And is it best to ship to Canada only?
Gotta win a cup now
I imagine such a person would go to the Canadian thread or the free seeds thread and also ask an old hat about best shipping practices
I used to trade a lot and cross border shipping was easy then. Last month I shipped to the States and the price went up and I had to fill out a form? Plus it seems there is a new paranoia with shipping genetics?
I send a ton of stuff to the USA without issue. Put the seeds in coin flips or 3d printed seed pucks and ship with an international stamp in a greeting card. That’s how I do it and it works perfectly.
Thanx Doug
As @DougDawson stated, Greeting Card, THREE Coin Flips or 3D Printed Pucks PER Envelop. request “Non Machinable” Stamp, cost $.99US or approx $1.30 International. So far, so good on the Shipping. I did send 2 Pucks to Mexico, the Card arrived taped on one end, ONE full Puck and ONE seedless!!! Resent, so we’ll soon see if it arrives intact. Good luck, don’t worry…too much. SS/BW…mister
I just got seeds from Pakistan. You can pretty much ship seeds anywhere if you do it properly. Whether the post there will be careful with the mail is another issue.
I’ve mailed a lot of genetics previously but since I’ve been limited by my retirement income and the hassle of shipping increasing I ship just what’s important.
