Well I gotta tell you this was the most painful exercise yet, With knowledge we have we can make this system easier

Issue #1 All bubbles were sealed when I received them, needless to say, you are receiving new ones, We needed to inspect the contents so therefore we had to open them and rather than retape, staple etc, it was just easier to go new. SO:: Leave OPEN and UN SEALED and no return address. Would really be nice to use printed labels, Lots of you write like Doctors lol

Issue #2 All seed envelopes were paper and sealed, Yup you guessed it, we had to open some, Not all. most were GPC seeds and mine that I used. No issue last year because Ian and Stu used plastic zip envelopes, easy peazy. that's why no issues last year. So :: plastic, zip seed packages from now on

Issue #3 Another reason for changing out bubbles, lost had return address, from your own to Ian and Stuarts, doesn't work too well coming from Canada, the return need to be blank

Anyway All left Montana today and are all tracked
Here is a list of people I sent bubbles too, If your name isn't here, I didn't get one for you

So I have been asked if this is all really necessary when seeds make it just fine on their own. Well legally all seeds coming into the US need a pyto. That being said probably 95% of bubbles still will make it in. This just takes away the possibility of loss. This also puts the seeds into the US with tracking. getting tracking from a foreign country is tough at best.

Ian and Stu sent enough money with the bubbles to cover the Pyto and postage, so we are good. The shipping outlet in Montana gave me 5 cases of bubbles that were shipped to someone and never picked and had no return addressa so after a year they gave them to me so I have enough bubbles for 5 years lol.
