For the seeds I've mailed out this year, multiple local post offices have given me a confusing set of rules - envelopes under 1/4" thick send with a ~ $1.00 nonmachineable stamp, but any envelopes over 1/4" thick are charged package rates. I use two or three layers of the thin foam packaging that comes on flat-pack furniture and such. I haven't gotten any complaints about crushed seeds (mostly milkweeds); hopefully I don't hear any bad news in the spring! -joe in SW VA where nighttime temps tonight are forecast to be 35°F below average and all the pots of seedlings I had considered bringing inside are frozen to my nursery tables.
