Shipping Charges -- OUCH!

zipcode · October 12, 2021

I find the amateur seed sites to have nice shipping rates, here in Europe at least. By amateur I mean sites that are operated by 1-2 people and they really have mostly tomatoes and maybe a couple of other things like peppers or eggplant, OP varieties that are mostly grown by themselves. (something like tatiana for example). Usually their shipping rates are between 1 and 1.5 euro, which is a bit more than a letter costs to post, so a good shipping fee.
If you want some hybrids, you're out of luck though, not to mention the extreme cost of those, it use to be 10 seed in a pack, now the standard is 6 or 8.
