Here is the current position on mailing out of seed orders:
UK - have been mailed out over the past week, and the last UK orders (for non-donors) will be mailed tomorrow Thursday 16 January.
New Zealand - these were all mailed out today Wednesday 15 January.
USA - these will be mailed to your chosen USDA APHIS Inspection station on next Monday 20 January.
EU (incl. NI and Switzerland) and Australia - these seeds will now go for phytosanitary inspection before mailing to you in maybe two weeks.   
Rest of World (China, Canada, Norway etc) - these will be mailed tomorrow Thursday 16 January.
Members in EU and Australia should await further updates in due course about the progress of phytosanitary certification.

Many thanks for the seeds sent to us for the Scottish Borders Rock Garden Group. They arrived this morning and will be greatly appreciated by our members at the next meeting. Congratulations to those involved in picking, packing and posting the seed so efficiently and to everyone who contributed to making this another highly successful seed exchange.

Quick question: are the seeds for us Europeans still being inspected?

Thx
Bernd

[Richard Green]

Seeds for EU and Australian members are currently being inspected by Scottish SASA Inspectors in Edinburgh.
I shall post further updates as soon as I know any more information.

[Catwheazle]

thank you very much and excuse the inconvenience

[Richard Green]

Phytosanitary Inspections of seeds for Australia and EU are complete, and seed boxes were collected last Friday 7 February, along with phytosanitary certificates, and mailed out to Australia and EU over last weekend.
EU seeds have now reached our helpers inside the 'EU' today, and orders will now be prepared with the hope of mailing them to other EU countries at the end of this week.
Australia seeds are in currently transit between Glasgow and London Heathrow.
Rest of World seeds are reaching their destinations and some have now arrived in Canada and New Zealand.
