New post office technique ?!?

I went and complained to the post office again, the last two packs of seeds that came to me came crushed. The manager starts to tell me they run all normal envelopes through this new machine thats the difference between explosion and implosion, it Irradiates the mail, and kills any living organism.. So basically if it doesnt get crushed it wont be able to germinate... They said my seeds will have to be sent in padded packages from now on... They also said they started it 3 weeks ago and im pretty sure ive had seeds come good since then, ever since i complained about the mail lady i cant get a package without it bein fucked up somehow. If this is true its goin to be killing spores too without them being padded... 22 belladonna seeds and 25 t.tersch seeds just got all fucked up.

I kinda wanna think he was bullshitting me tho because he couldnt show me the machine he showed me one similar... But he said palm beach is one of the first post offices to do it.. and i know some of my mail goes through there.

Yeah I just received 20 atropa belladonna seeds. As soon as I saw that they were in a normal envelope I knew they would be crushed.

If the thickness of the envelope is over 1/8" they're supposed to hand cancel (which they charge a surcharge for). However, a lot of the time they still run it through the machine...in such cases even padded seeds may be crushed.
Now sublimistri...this radiation thing you are talking about is apparently something different than simple crushing if I understand it. If it kills every living organism the way the manager explained, how would padding make any difference. It seems like it would penetrate either way. Also, there is no rule against sending seeds, so what would happen to all the businesses and people sending seeds? I can't see how this would be true. What would be the motive for the change and how would they expect seeds to be sent?

He told me when a machine senses foil itl take it out or something along those lines, im down if u wanna send me some foil.
He said padded envelopes dont go through that machine only normal envelopes. He also said its a new way to prevent terrorism and sending of anthrax because it kills anthrax... Bullshit?

padded envelopes at walmart are like 3 bucks for 10.. just so everyone knows. I got a pack of them today... I guess folding thick cardboard over ontop of itself and cutting a cavity in one side doesnt work as protection against.. RADIATION! fuck ill dip my envelope in liquid lead next time.

Im pretty sure I remember him saying foil gets hand canceled, foil might do the trick, i might have someone test that sometime.

You think he might have been bullshittin me? That post office worker was the manager. And he said and made sure to confirm 'Irradiate'.. not radiate.

ive heard of this machine before and it indeed is "sopposed" to kill anthrax, but i didn't think they would ever build one and use it.

Well once he told me about the machine I kinda started thinkin more in my head than listening to him (waiting for him to stop talkin so i could leave)... He said Palm Beach is the first place in the "..." that is using this machine, not sure if he said country or state or what.
He also said even if I seen her stomping on a normal envelope and took a picture it wouldnt matter if my seeds came crushed since they werent ina padded envelope. If they were ina padded envelope then I could take legal actions. he was pissin me off just a little bit so I was ignoring him halfway.

The Post Office wants to encourage the use of padded envelopes because they generate more revenue. The rate for padded envelopes was recently changed and they are now considered "small parcels" at $1.18 for the first ounce as opposed to 41 cents for an envelope. Lots of seeds get shipped every year, not to mention other items that you might not want squashed. You do the math.

i always over pay for postage on anything that is more than 1 piece of paper, how about they squash envelopes that pay the minimum postage.
