Hi, Dennis,
I read your message with interest. I've been mailing seed orders for the
CSSA Seed Depot for a long time and just
got some of the new custom forms last week. yes, they won't work on the
little envelopes that you refer to. You
will need the size 0 (roughly 6 1/2 by 9 1/2); the new forms just fit on
those. I haven't sent any international orders
since these revised 2976 forms were issued but as far as I know the padded
mailers are still okay. At least, I sure
hope so.

I just had a ridiculous conversation with my local post office regarding a
small padded envelope of seeds I want to ship to Europe. It measures four
inches by seven inches.They told me that with the new customs label that
must be attached to the front of the envelope that that's too small and I
need to use a bigger envelope. And they showed me the size I'd have to use
and it was MORE THAN one foot x two feet. It was a non padded cardboard
envelope. WTAF!!!!!!!!!I called them ridiculous for suggesting such
nonsense and left before my anger rose. Are they insane or did something
really change in recent weeks that I can no longer send a small packet
overseas? Nothing on USPS. com indicates my padded envelope is unacceptable
to ship to Europe. In fact just the opposite. It clearly states it to be
acceptable. This is so annoying as it's the office I've used to ship abroad
for 19 years. Dennis in Cincinnati
