I know some of you get anxious to get your seeds but please understand the time I need to make this process work.
Once I receive the seeds, I need 5 to 7 working days to just get the ducks in a row. I do not live close to the boarder, I have between a 3.5 to 4 hr drive 1 way to get there, then up to 2 hrs getting in depending on line ups, inspections etc. Then I turn around and do it all over again coming home. I have taken 16 hrs to make a single trip.
I try and piggy back multiple items on each trip. It could be a number of different things.
If you positively have to have your seed from an auction or anywhere else, you need to ask these questions before you put the wheels in motion. I do the best I can, but I can't expedite the system. I'm getting bombarded by questions over and over, Where is my seed? have you mailed it yet? etc etc. This won't speed up the process and in fact if this pattern continues I will probably start declining requests all together.

I was one of the people wondering if my seeds had been mailed. I was not wanting to bother anyone. I just wanted to know if they were lost in the mail or what? I live in a hot climate, and was hoping to start this week. No worries,
I can handle it, but will have to change my line up.
If you are upset about people contacting you, you should have posted this a lot earlier on BP. I am not trying to start any beef, just a little insulted by you being irritated by this.

Cozy Not bothered by an email But 8 emails from the same person I will develop an attitude, also never had to deal with such an issue.
First point of contact should be the original sender so they can at least let you know if they have been sent to me.
Each and every time I send seeds from a club or auction I do make a post as to what I mailed and will continue to do so.
