Would it not be better if the person charged with posting to Ruud (Netherlands I think) emailed him first with a list of seeds available and then just posting the ones he would be interested in?  Perhaps that would make the packet lighter - however I am not sure what the postage to Europe it.  All I know is that it cost me four or five times the value of the selection boxes I sent across the pond last year.  Won't make that mistake again.

yes, good points :icon_thumleft: Though going through list is not quite same than diving in to the real thing. I'm happy to chip in with postage to Ruud if you let me!

It would be a good idea to get it going well before Xmas so it does not get stuck in the xmas crush.

My thoughts too  :happy7:
 

I'm aiming to post the parcel at the beginning of next week, although I'm still juggling what I can fit in.

If I haven't your address I can't send you the parcel and your name will have to go in the draw later down the line.

I haven't had a pm with your address yet, but rather than wait longer, I've made the starting draw. Parcel is launching.
If you want your name drawn I need your address.

This swap will be for a general swap with a wide content; it contains seeds from all the main groups including some flowers, but has no room for peas and beans! I tried every which way but to keep the parcel under 2kg I just couldn't fit everything in. 

So I have a second parcels, jammed with the peas and beans waiting to go, I’ll start a new thread if you’d like this one to come to you too. Just add your name on there and pm me your address if I don't already have it.
