I hope so, too! I have chosen EMS, because it's definitely quicker. I don't want to risk it dying in the mail.

Too much for me..... I'll take my chance with the regular postal service...

Anyway, I wonder how it's possible that in 2010 , does it takes 3 weeks to deliver a package from anywhere in the world.... does Thai postal service use water buffalos as carriers ?????

No need for paying extra money on EMS. It will be dormant and cut to corm anyway.

If parcels travel by air and not with high priority they spend a lot of days waiting for a cheap spot in an airplane which is not fully loaded. That's why prices and delievery times are so different. But if it travels by sea...., but that may be the cheapeast option, but not for nanners.

I have the impression that the Greek Postal Service is carrying parcels with mules - in 2010! It takes ages to get something delivered and the prices are 2 - 3 times higher for sending a parcel from Greece than sending one to Greece. (compared with german prices).

Anyway, I like to spend 30 US$ more, than loose 60 on the whole plant. And I don't have any experience with Thai Postal Service.

Yup, they have to find one healthy plant in the field.

My Gros Michel took about 20 days to get its Phytosanitary certificate, so I expect the Veinte Cohol to be shipped the next week....

Actually I've lost tracks of the G.M's shipping... last update on Thai Postal Service's website is on October the 21st.... I hope that the water buffalo carrier didn't eat the corm!

I'm seriously re-thinking about upgrading to EMS....

Mine has reached Greece! Thai postal service is showing no more updates, but greek postal does. I guess customs can delay it a bit, but it should be here by Friday.
@rick: try Italian postal service with the same tracking number! Maybe you'll get some more and detailed info!
