I ve had some questions about the seed bank cause I live in Canada.
I know that the seed bank manager works for free and I'm very grateful for your time.

I've read in an other post that it's not possible for me to have seeds from the bank because of the US stamps who are found only in this country, but found that Canada post used to seal US and International stamps on their website.

In that way, Canadians could send SASE with no more work for you and then fix the problem ! Tell me if I'm wrong.

Also, Do anyone know if it's possible to mail can-us or us-can without international stamps ? Mabe yes

The postage cost to send a letter from the USA to Canada is $1.15 (US Dollar).
Some people use 3 US "Forever" stamps ($0.49 each) on an envelope.
Some people buy a US "Global Forever Stamp" for $1.15
I do not know about sending a letter from Canada to the USA.

The US Post Office sells a Global Forever Stamp for $1.15.
I think Amazon.com and Amazon.ca also sells them. (for a higher price though)
This stamp is good for a one ounce letter to any country the US Post Office delivers to.
It is also good for a two ounce letter to Canada.

The Seed Bank manager is a volunteer.
He is not very smart.
If an SASE from Canada arrived, he would not notice the return address as long as there was a US postal stamp with ($1.15 postage) on the return envelope.

Good growing,
Mike

Your English is good.
I had no problem understanding you.

Or, you could send me a PM.
