As a recent joiner to the list, this conversation has made me wonder if o=rdering seeds from Seed-X is worth the trouble - though I'm sure the resu=lting plants are unique and fabulous.

Just as a thought, the group could simply send someone from the U.S. to=Europe to get the seeds and then the seeds could be mailed within the US.

I would, of course, volunteer to be the courier.

Hello All,

I was able to talk to Carolyn this afternoon about needing to send post=age to get seeds from certain inspection centers.  The one thing in our c=onversation that I managed to somewhat grasp is that there are three prot=ocols governing the process of mailing seeds that apply here and they are=not in agreement.  I didn't quite get who all are, but US Postal service=and PPQ were mentioned.  As it stands, at least for LA and San Francisco=, we are required to either pick the package up, or have an account with =UPS or any other mail service, or send postage.  She directed me to Bill =Wilsella (sp?) her team leader, at 301-734-0755 and said he could explain=some.  She also directed me to 'Enclosure 2', which did not come in my p=ermit packet (she is now sending it to me).  That enclosure has direction=s for mailing plant quarantine materials under permit.  I won't understan=d how this relates until I can read it.  I have a hard time understanding=the whole process, but what I am
getting is that this whole thing is in a mess.  And Carolyn said it's go=ing to get worse.
