Re: International shipping requirement for bananas
No regard for life there. Sad. They could have sent it back to you.

Re: International shipping requirement for bananas
I figure a lil "white lie" is better than something getting destroyed for no reason. Not like the plant is hurting anything.. it was a t/c... :^)

Re: International shipping requirement for bananas
i just wanted to let you know, that my third corm has arrived today unbothered by customs.
It's a healthy big corm of a California Gold, that came from Jeff Earl. But he refused to mail directly overseas, so I had to make a "stop" at an mail forwarding service. But it worked! |

Re: International shipping requirement for bananas
Never had any problems,receiving nanas from USA to UK,as long as corms are small,and the person at the other end knows what he is doing. touch wood hopefully it stays that way.

Re: International shipping requirement for bananas
Yes I suspect they saw what they thought was a plant with a rhizome that wasn't indiginous and all they could think was Japanese Knot Weed and alarm bells rang.

I ordered a plant from Thailand a couple of days ago and had no idea that I needed an import permit. Thanks to this thread I've printed off the appropriate form and will fax it in tomorrow. I wonder what else I don't know that I don't know...
