Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 The best way to ship is: DON'T. Usually the package leaks all over the place. If you have a heat sealer for plastic bags, that would probably do the trick. C. Shipping > > Could someone advise me on the best way to ship the kombucha culture in > the mail?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 I successfully shipped a culture to my sister--this was from Massachusetts all the way to Seattle. I put the culture (raised in a half-gallon jar) and a bit of tea in a gallon-sized ziplock bag. Along with zipping the ziplock, I taped the top with some pretty heavy-duty tape. I folded that bag a bit and put it in another gallon-sized ziplock, again sealing the top with tape. I then put it in a Priority Mailing box with a whole bunch of those styrofoam peanuts surrounding it. It made it there just fine.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Good idea! See, there's more than one use for duct tape!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Hello - See message 8906 on this board for guidelines that I previously posted for shipping. The only change I'd make to them is that the cost of Priority Mail has gone up to $4.10. Yes, shipping can be done successfully, although I do agree that it's nice to get from someone local if possible!
