I said this before, and I will say it again he

Everyone that reads these posts, please be aware this is an idea that
recently dawned on me and I am in the preliminary stages of research
on it. I don't want to get everyone's hopes up and then find that
it's too difficult to send the tea this way. The most expensive part
would be the shipping, I think. I will do my best because some of the
sites that I have seen linked here and there are totally rip-off and
it angers me. But who knows what could come from this. I hope it
will work out!

I didn't mean to make it sound like everyone that has ever bought
anything from a website is being ripped off. I'm just saying that
some of the sites that I've seen here have hiked their prices up alot.
I wasn't talking as much about tea quality as I was prices.

If you feel you are having a good relationship with certain vendors,
by all means keep it. But, I just thought I'd try to provide a
service for you guys if i could.



thanks for your support and your inquiries. I will make sure I give
adequate information on how to contact me before I leave. I am
serious about this!

Hi Mydnight,

I meant to chip in earlier but I've been busy and too confused by the
new group layout to get around to it 'til now. I just wanted to point
out that I tried to send some tea to the US in summer from Shanghai,
and China Post said that they could not do it, America refusing to
receive tea (and one assumes other organic produce) sent from China. I
would check with China Post (and perhaps UPS, DHL etc) when you're next
out there. On the plus side, sending to Africa (the 'wrong continent')
I doubt would be a problem.

I have received at least 20kg of tea through China Post over the last
year, and it was all properly declared through customs. I have also
received tea through UPS, DHL, and EMS. The trick is to learn about
the FDA "Prior Notification" process.

Mike could you please tell me about thie=s...I want to order some tea from
Malaysia but I am not sure how to do it properly. It's commercially packaged
tea if that matters.
