RE: Postal requiremnets

Another interesting dilemma is going to be how we are going to handle getting around irradiation if you think the mail will be traveling near the Capitol and you don’t particularly want your mail irradiated. I find it interesting that the new Organic compliance laws strictly forbid irradiation, but yet if you ship USPS, it might get zapped anyway.

List,

 With trading season soon upon us, could one of our US postal empolyees (Rocky) and Canadian postal emploees update us and help the new growers to be with requirements from the postal service. I learned today that the 45 cent Pumpkinseed Sunfish stamps will no longer get the job done. It now takes the Sunfish and Father Flanagan to send a small bubble pack in the States. I don't know who it takes to get one to Canada.

 

To new traders,

 I find a #000 bubble pack is great for most trades. They can be bought at Office Max , or wherever, for $8 for 25. After adressing and stamping it( with how much Rocky says) put it in a brown 6" x9" kraft envelope $8/100 and send to grower. When sending out of country DO NOT put return postage on bubble pack the return postage must be from other counrty, Rocky a little help here please, instead send small money to cover return postage.
