Hello seed-lovers -

I have been in touch with the person at the USPS who is in charge of the
International Network Operations, regarding the problems of people being
charged extra to forward their seeds from the APHIS inspection stations to
their homes. Cheri DeMoss has said:

While I have emails about a few of the problems that have been discussed
on Alpine-L (including a couple that have been forwarded from other
lists), the last email on this subject was back in mid-February.
While it would be lovely to think that the issue has been resolved, it
could be that there are other instances that have not reached me.
Please let me know if you have encountered any demands for further
payments to cover delivery of your seeds - recently, or in the past. I
will keep personal names out of the correspondence with USPS.

Interestingly, Ms. DeMoss reaffirmed the USPS commitment to forwarding
APHIS-inspected seeds without additional postage.
Let's see what this round brings.....

Thanks,
Joyce
