Hi Paul, Yes copious problems with the old provider so have moved on. I had
it on good authority, straight from the horses mouth so to speak on an
intercepted incoming parcel, That if parcels of seeds are addressed as
indicated
"ATTN Australian Quarantine, Chillie (chile) seeds enclosed"
They will come through no worries. It seems to have worked as I have had
half a dozen in just like it.
We must be the last of the liberals.
I am still working on finding a kindly soul in USA to forward seeds to
recipients over there so that when I get around to harvesting and repaying
all of the kindness I only need to get one phytosanitary and send a bunch of
seeds and a list of who and hey presto. Many details need to be worked out ,
such as postage and such but Im sure thats only a minor detail.
Yes please, want some of yours ,so send me the list and we can go from
there. All the others from you are up now thankyou.
Off to bed , just got the call from the "trouble and strife" its 2:13am.
Cheers
Kind Regards
Marc Winterburn
