How long should you wait to check on a bubble that you have requested from a grower? Last year, I lost out on some good seeds because I was unsure what the accepted time was to to be patient. I don't want to bug the person, but at the same time I just want to be sure my bubble arrived to them safely. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like at least one grower that sends out a lot of bubbles to reply... p.s.(I won't ask for seeds, just answers!!)

Thank you,
Mark G.

99 and 9/10 PERCENT OF THE TIME UNLESS YOU SENDING MAIL TO ANOTHER COUNTRY ( CANADA THOUGH SEEMS TO BE PRETTY GOOD ON DELIVERY ) YOU SHOULD ASSUME THE BUBBLE IS THERE AND IF THE GROWERS WANTS TO FILL IT ? THEY WILL. IF YOU ARE IMPATIENT THOUGH AND KNOW THE PARTIES EMAIL ADDY A QUICKIE EMAIL WOULD NOT HURT.

A LOT DEPENDS ON THE GROWER AS WELL. IF YOU MAILING SOMEONE WHO GETS A TON OF REQUESTS? IT COULD TAKE A WHILE. IT CAN GET RATHER HECTIC IF YOU HAD A GOOD TO GREAT SEASON.

I haven't filled any of my bubbles yet because my pumpkin was on display for a long time and the seeds are just now getting dry. I plan on filling all requests but haven't filled any yet. I would be patient

I usually sent an email saying I trust the grower, but I don't trust the postal service and I wondered if the seeds have been sent yet.

No offense intended toward the growers who work for the USPS.

We usually do a bunch once a week. Start from the top & work our way down. It takes a long time to fill out all the BPs, so I would say email them after a month has gone by to see if he received your BP okay.
