I guess maybe I just lead a charmed life .. or maybe the vibes from my military mind just sorta reach out and touch those postal workers and make'em wanna do all kinds of nice things for me. ;-) >>We list Common/Botanical names of the oils, sizes and prices anyway on >>the Invoice .. but certainly not country of origin of anything. > > take a look at the new USPS customs forms... which the central post office > in Nashville says MUST be used, or the pkg will be returned. it calls for > country of origin. I don't wanna fix something that ain't broke for me. We don't have a central post office in Friendsville .. most likely the latrine in the one in Nashville is bigger than our Post Office. I'm originally from Nashville .. born and spent the first 9 years of my life there .. used to go to the Grande Ol' Opry every Satiddy nite cause my Grandpappy said I needed cultural training. Cousin Minnie and Grandpa Jones and that bunch was all I knew till I got out of there. My cousins are still the cops there .. and my great-uncle used to be county park commissioner so I grew up with Centennial Park as a playground .. nice town it is. :-) Fact is .. I used to go to school not far from your shop .. out on Old Hickory Boulevard .. Lawdy Lawdy that wuz loooooooong time ago. ;-) >>These requirements are likely being demanded by your local yokel postal >>folks because they want to .. that's not saying there might not be a >>requirement in some obscure regulation .. but the folks at our Post >>Office don't require us to observe such a regulation .. if there is one. > > nope...it's not our local guys...they are terrific...like you, we are their > largest customer...they pick up, they go way further than they have > to. The returns come either from Nashville, Miami, or NYC. Like I said .. its just bad luck I reckon. We had two this week to APOs but I know lots of GI type folks and they know lots of folks so the word gets around about this ex-GI selling EO stuff .. and for the folks who might not be shipping to APOs .. or who get mail from APOs .. lemme show you an example of the shipping cost for an order we just sent out .. 16 oz ..
