Hello,
I havn't send many self adressed stamped envelopes yet but...
The post offices here in Canada do not have U.S. stamp to put on the return envelopes... but they will give me a gift certificate type thing that can be redeemed at an American post office.
I can do this but I think it would be a hassle for those returning seeds to me. It would require them going to the post office.
Anyone have any experience with cross border bubble sending?

When I bubble Canadian growers for seeds, I enclose $5.00 U.S.

It's a lot easier to put a few US dollars in the bubble so that the recipient can put proper US postage for the return trip.

Ok thanks, I was trying to figure out a way to have the postage already on the envelope so it would be easier.

I always ask for a couple dollars to cover postage, most peole send $2-$5. I just sent a few to the US a couple days ago and it was just over $2. I assume its similar or less to send from US to Canada. Either way a few US dollars is good on either side of the border.

Can you use Stamps.com to buy US postage?

I have a solution for Europe. I have a half dozen requests from Europe. Its crazy for those guys to all send me a bubble and money. So I am sending all seeds to one grower in europe and the growers can bubble him. For US bubbles I am asking for a SASE with US stamps. Then I will just mail from NY state on my next shopping trip.

Great idea Chris.The problem I find some dont put enough poastage on a bubble in the US.Two forever stamps wont ship a bubble.it cost a 1.92.They will ship for less but there going on the rollers & might get crushed.
