I have some good news and some news that makes my box request look a bit silly.Big Grin
Two of the packages failed the PO slot test - and they were both boxes!! A couple of envelopes failed too but the postmistress gave them a shake and they went through the slot.
Rather than paying the extra postage to turn the failures into small parcels, I've brought them home to repack and get rid of the bulges. The rest are in the sack.
I won't say whose are being repacked Wink

There was me investigating getting a proper PO posting box for next season, perhaps a look at the stationery shops rather than online to make sure they suit. I felt the 'lingerie' box was a bit heavy and hoped to get a lighter one. There again I might not have any seeds next year.
Shame you're being put to yet more hassle V. You know we love you and really appreciate it.

It was odd because 2 of the boxes were OK and 2 weren't - so the blame lies with the packer Wink Some people have more "fat" seeds - like beans and peas and they're the ones that tend to jam up. I'll take greater care next time. They'll be in the post tomorrow.

The last 2 boxes are in the post but missed today's collection (9am!!). Sorry about that.
Please let me know when you receive your seeds as I worry about them until they're safely in your dainty hands. Big Grin

Franked! My stamps have been franked! Oh the horror!

What a collection of seeds this year and some absolutely beautiful seed packets! Thank you so much to everyone and especially the poultry seed fairy for putting in so much work.

Ohh TMTT, I don[t know whether to be happy they've arrived or sad because the stamps have made their final journey. To be honest, I think the envelope wouldn't have taken much more patching up. Big Grin

My seeds have arrived. Frank is obviously not in the festive spirit yet. He got me too!
Wow what a fantastic collection. I’m going to be doing lots of googling of varieties.
Thank you so much everyone. And a big thanks to our seed dealer  Cool .

It always amazes me that your seeds seem to arrive quicker than others that live closer. Well done Frank (or notWink)
