Hey everyone

I had someone contact me today asking if I would mail my java fern to him. i'd prefer to sell it and have someone pick up but it got me thinking.. has anyone sold via mail before, if so how did you do it?

Hi,
I've mailed both snails (MTS) and plants here in the
States with success. In the past, when I have ordered
plants from commercial suppliers, they have come wrapped
in wet newspaper and bagged in sealed plastic bags. The
bags were placed within shipping boxes, and taped shut.
The boxes were labeled "LIVE PLANTS" and generally shipped
PRIORITY MAIL.
When shipping my plants and snails, I simply duplicated
the efforts of the commercial suppliers. Here we have
the option of "next day" delivery, or two or three day
delivery.
Pay attention to the time of the year that you ship them.
In some cases they can be left out on the taramic for
hours in the sun or in the snow in trailers before being
sorted and shipped.

Hope this helps...
Frank
