Question to all international seed sellers.
« on: November 07, 2022, 05:31:25 AM »
You are in the post office, but don't want to tell clerk that there are seeds inside the package.  What do you tell to a clerk? Sometimes they are very insistent to know what inside the package. How do you answer?

It's often much better to post seeds in a letter rather than in a package. Depending on the country, what is considered a "letter" might be quite big (up to 5mm thick in Belgium which is often enough, but up to 3cm thick in France) and regulation is completely different with usually total privacy regarding the contents of an envelope, compared to a package where contents must be declared.

So for seeds, in Belgium or France I will use an envelope with some padding inside, buy the stamps separately and post the envelope in a mailbox. No questions asked this way, and it's also much less likely to be opened by the customs in the destination country. And usually much cheaper as well.
