Re: Long Gourds & Seeds
I do not think they are going treat all the mail. I
would imagine they will only treat mail that is going to
sensative areas like the white house or senate. I know
people send film in the mail to get it developed and any
treatment would cause a lot of problems.
We should just send seeds as usual, making sure there
is a return address on the package and that the amount
of postage is proper for the package. I have found that
57 cents is the right ammount for a 000 bubble package.
That is my 2 cents worth
God bless america.
