WE WILL SHIP WORLD-WIDE TO COUNTRIES WITH NO RESTRICTIONS ON SEED. WE SHIP TO COUNTRIES OTHER SELLERS REFUSE TO. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SHIPPED TO EVERY CONTINENT. OUR SEEDS WERE PRODUCED IN OUR GARDEN. THEY WILL HAVE BEEN IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS WHEN THIS AUCTION CLOSES. WHILE WE RECOGNIZE THERE ARE MANY POSITIVE REASONS FOR GREENHOUSE PRODUCTION, WE LIKE TO KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE PARENT IS HARDY HERE IN ZONE 5. THIS IS A POSITIVE THAT EVEN MANY OF OUR FRIENDS ON THE GULF COAST VALUE. UNLESS OUR SEEDS HAVE TWO 2015 INTRODUCTIONS AS PARENTS, YOU KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE PARENT CAN HANDLE COLD WEATHER. SHIPPING WILL BE BY USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL. WE SHIP ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS. SEEDS ARE SHIPPED IN ZIP-LOCK BAGS ROLLED IN BUBBLE WRAP AND SENT IN A PADDED MAILER. WE CAN COMBINE UP TO 15 PACKETS IN OUR PADDED MAILERS FOR ONE SHIPPING FEE. DUE TO THE RECENT POSTAL INCREASE, SHIPPING FEES ARE $3 FOR UNITED STATES SHIPMENTS, $9FOR CANADIAN SHIPMENTS AND $13 FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS. WHILE WE DO ACCEPT PAYPAL, WE STRONGLY PREFER CHECKS AND MONEY ORDERS. WE GIVE BONUS SEEDS TO ALL INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PAYING BY ANY MEANS WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE AUCTION CLOSE. WE GIVE BONUS SEEDS TO U.S. CUSTOMERS WHO PAY BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER WITHIN 10 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSE. WE ARE HAPPY TO HOLD YOUR "PAID-FOR" SEEDS AS LONG AS NECESSARY TO MINIMIZE YOUR SHIPPING COSTS. WE DO LIKE TO SHIP AS MANY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE CHRISTMAS SO WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THEM TO DAUPHIN ISLAND. WE MUST COLLECT 7.25% STATE SALES TAX FROM ILLINOIS RESIDENTS EVEN WHEN WE ARE SELLING FROM ALABAMA.
