Any seed sellers? How do you ship?

[scga912]

My Adenium has produced some seed pods that will be ready to harvest soon.   I'll keep and grow some myself, but I'm going to have 200-300 seeds if what I've read is accurate.

They generally seem to be sold in small groupings (2s through 10s).

As a mostly fragiles seller, it's hard to not want to bubble wrap the heck out of everything, but a PWE is fine? 

How should I wrap them up?

Send me some LOL 😉

When I get my seeds from Burpee and other places, they come in a small sealed envelope inside a small bubble mailer.

I don't think you want to go with a PWE because flats go through rollers during sort, which could crush the seeds.

I forgot to add ...

As a gardener, I appreciate when seed packets are labeled with what they are. I can't tell you how many times I get a package of seeds, throw the outer packaging away and forget what they were LOL  Then I have to use the "plant em, you'll know when they come up" method.

Planting and growing recommendations are nice too 🙂

I was going to do the planting/growing recommedations.

I thought wrapping in white tissue paper, putting in small zipper craft bag, add a little bubble and in a nice note card.   Maybe a popsicle stick and make it non-machineable?

Lots of sellers are listing with $1-$2 shipping and there are $3.95 FS listings which are obviously not sending FCP.

Be careful what you add (popsicle stick, bubble etc.).  If it's over 1/4 inch thick, it can't go as a letter (either machinable or not).

I think that if you keep them from getting any moisture and from getting crushed, you should be fine 🙂

Frankly, I wouldn't "dress" it up....I get the seed packets in letter envelop.  The packet is a small (sometimes VERY small) plastic baggie with instructions in the bag.....or if it's in a regular seed packet envelop it has the instructions printed on the envelop.......

Never gotten one with bwrap......mine have all been mailed with no tracking.......

I was a seed seller here on eBay at one tine. I had my own brand and did quite well for a while. As for shipping packets of small seeds, I wraped the seed envelope (seeds in a small zip bag, inside a paper seed envelope) in a layer of thin foam sheet, and put that inside a heavy stock PWE. Even with a packing slip and/or instructions, it qualified as machinable post.

Hope that helps.
