Quick heads up on the new rates for bubbles. It is no longer 1.95, it is now 2.07. If you are sending a bubble out to a grower please include the correct postage. If it is less than 2.07 it will probably still get delivered but will be treated like standard mail and be put through the mechanized rollers which may, or may not, damage the seeds inside.

I don't know what size bubbles you guys are sending..... but when I go in to the post post office with 4 stamps on my return envelopes they look at me like I'm nuts. They put them on the scale and tell me I have 2 too many? Very confusing! Thanks for any info

The PO clerk is giving it the machine rate, by weight. We don't like the machine, it hurts when it squeezes and smashes us! Some clerks think they are doing you a favor, but pay the extra for proper handling!
