REQUESTING SEEDS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Postage to Canada

NOTE: Sometimes there are considerable delays in the mails between the US and Canada - even letters can take 4 - 6 weeks to reach us, and parcels of seed to you can take about a month.

NOTE: TRACKING NUMBERS: If you want a tracking number for your package, you have two options. For no charge you may be able to track your parcel with the Customs Declaration number - this depends on if your postal system supports this. You can also register the parcel - add US$17.00 for Registered Mail. If you do not choose to register the package, we are not responsible if the package is lost in the mails. NOTE: Registered Mail can be tracked through the USPS website until it leaves the US - after that it can only be done by our postal authorities, and you need to track it from your own country's postal system.

Please do not inquire as to whether we have shipped your request until at least 30 days after you mail it.
We like Canada - what a great place. We welcome Canadian customers, and hope we can make it easy for you to send payment. We can now accept payment online through PayPal, an easy way to pay by credit card or directly from your bank account. Online Requesting. PayPal costs you nothing, unlike a money order! We accept Canadian currency at your own risk (about C$1.00 = US$1.00, plus the 5% that the currency exchange charges us. For current exchange rate, go to http://www.xe.com/ucc/), or U.S. currency at your own risk (wrap currency well, and register the letter), or Canadian Postal Money Orders in U.S.$ only, or personal checks from a U.S. bank in U.S.$ only. Banks here charge up to $60 to process Canadian bank checks, even if in U.S.$! I know, it's an outrage! We refund in Canadian currency or by Credit Memo. If you pay through PayPal, we can refund this way.
POSTAGE TO CANADA for small parcels is now very expensive! (Postage and Packing). For books and heavy parcels, check http://ircalc.usps.gov for the rate. Choose the rate you prefer, and add that amount to your payment, plus $1.00 for packing.
ALL TYPES OF SEED, including tree and shrub seed and corn seed in small packets may now be shipped directly to Canada without import permit, phytosanitary certificate or delay. A few types such as wheat (Triticum) are prohibited.

All payments must be made in U.S. dollars only, by check or bank draft drawn on a U.S. bank only. We cannot accept checks drawn on banks outside the U.S., due to excessive charges imposed by our bank. You may send U.S. currency at your own risk, and we now accept cash payment in all currencies, but we recommend you register the letter. If you send non - U.S. currency, please add 5% (the currency-exchange charges us 5% to change currency). For an exchange-rate calculator, go to http://www.xe.com/ucc/. If you are sending currency from a country that uses Euros, please send Euros, not your old currency. Checks or drafts in US$ only.
If any items are out of stock, you must be able to accept a refund in U.S. dollars, or credit for future requests, or substitutions. If you pay through PayPal, we can refund this way. If you would like substitutes, please give an extensive list of acceptable alternates.
All requests will be shipped via AIRMAIL.

Please check with your Ministry of Agriculture regarding any prohibited seeds. Most countries allow the importation of small amounts of flower seeds without an Import Permit or phytosanitary certificate. For most seeds, quantities under 100 grams are exempt from permit or certificate requirements. Most small requests pass customs with no problems without a phytosanitary certificate, so judge for yourself whether the cost of a certificate is greater than the small risk of having some seeds seized. We do not provide phytosanitary certificates. We are not responsible for any seeds seized by customs.
Please do not inquire as to whether we have shipped your request until at least 30 days after you mail it.
Note: Australia and New Zealand have extremely restrictive agriculture laws - it is nearly impossible to import seed into New Zealand, and Australia is not far behind. If you are in either of these countries be aware that your seeds may be seized by customs. We are not responsible for seeds that do not reach you! Request at your own risk! Books and GA-3 are OK to request for now.
