As most of you know the postal service is very poor at the moment. The first box of seeds sent on the 30th November got to Eddy Z on the 31st December.
The main box of went three weeks later and contained Mark Baggs and the Belgium seeds.
Normally I would have a whinge but for once the postal service has a good excuse.
40% of our postal staff are off work and we rarely see a plane so we will all just have to be patient.
Stay Safe Ian

I sent some seeds to my friend 10 miles away.It took 7 days to arrive and traveled over 200 miles. I totally understand.

One U.S. seed company has put up " expect to wait up to 30 days for your order in U.S."

Not known as Mega on the "cucumber board"!

In December, the paychecks for my employees normally mailed to my business, finally arrived after being lost for 15 days. I had to make other arrangements to pay them. I insisted that they be delivered by courier after that incident.

Had a package yesterday delivered to my front porch. It wasnt for me, was the house next door. I went over to deliver it, was going to ring the door bell, but then seen a couple of packages on her doorstep. I was going to just add it on top, till I seen the packages on her doorstep had my name on them. So I rang the door bell since they had cameras (didnt want to be reported as a porch bandit) and we exchanged packages I got my two, and she got hers.... Kinda worrisome since I have $5000 Macs delivered often to my front porch...... Stay safe all... Hope all the seeds arrive safe and sound....

Worried about seed exchange. 5 people sent seeds over a month ago. Still waiting. Want to send them out this week, but might have to wait.
