That order to Italy that came back was a fairly large order, about 15-20 packs with about 50+ seeds each.
But I could pack things smaller for some of the suspect countries. And without the customs forms I suppose. The odd thing is I'm pretty sure that was the second order to that same customer in Italy. So the first order must have gotten thru.
The 6x10 bubble is my standard packing material. I buy them in 250 count boxes to get a good price on them.
I was around for the seed crush test and that's partly why I use a padded envelope. But I've always used something like that in part because even tho I'm a small company, I want to look as professional as I can with my product.
In the future I will ask foreign customers if there might be any issues with customs and adjust my shipping accordingly.
I forgot to mention that I sent several orders to a member here in Sweden without any problems at all.
