CANADA POST IS ON STRIKE AGAIN - We have removed Canada Post as a shipping option and are now shipping with UPS AND FEDEX. (They are more expensive and have added preditory premiums while Canada Post is on strike, but they are still moving parcels) All Lettmail-shipped items will still be proccessed and dropped with carrier weekly but will only start to move once mail service resumes. Parcels to PO boxes will be shipped once mail service resumes.
We only sell freshly harvested seeds from small time growers, hobbyists and collectors.
