Is it technique, the mail, both or neither?

"...other than sending seeds using expensive bubble wrap mailers, what are some good options we should try?"

I save the small cell bubblewrap from packages I receive (that makes it free!) and cut out a piece to fit up one side and down the other of the small seed envelope. It doesn't make the outer standard envelope too thick to need extra postage.

None of the dwarf seeds I planted 12 days ago have sprouted. All the other varieties of my seeds (including some from 2001) have sprouted. Some of those were sent to me a few years ago. So, what does this all mean?
