there’s several sellers on amazon.ca although none being shipped directly by amazon so i’m not sure how long it would take to receive, the 0.2ml ones work good with a littl bit of cotton on top

edit: they all say arrive by april 20th with standard free shipping, this one says march 9-12 with express shipping

edit 2: holy shit they want $54 for express shipping!!

they’re definitely coming from china so watch out for the coronavirus in the vials :wink:

I heard from her yesterday.

Regarding containers…

I normally use Lacons but they are pricey in this situation so I bought these for the Apollo seed run instead:

use a little bit of cotton in the tube so the beanz don’t rattle around
last package was identifiable because of the noise
isn’t packaging up fun :smile:
thanks

I normally do add cotton but this time I did not.

If anyone wants 500 of these I’m happy to split the cost. I’ll never use the rest of these unless I do another free seed run where I try to keep my costs as low as possible.

Oh shite I hope y’all wasn’t waiting on me. I ordered these lil vials and they are tiny. No way I can put 10 seeds in there. Will reorder something different. Open to suggestions :grinning:. I do got the seeds mostly sorted though.

I use the 2ml ones… can fit 10 seeds easily… 20 at a squeeze

I was gone for a while and went down from regular to member. When I signed up for seed runs I was regular and added my name to that category. Am I expected to move all my entries down to member now? I’d prefer not to. :sleeping:
I do sign up as member now though.

Not that my opinion amounts to much, but i would say at a minimum you were Regular at the time of sign up, so no big deal. Most seed runs end with extras, so the regular/member distinction doesn’t really matter anymore at that point anyway.
