I will be sending two "yeast samples in maltodextrin suspension" to USA  this week so will see what happens. Expect if they do get through that it will be a 3 week turnaround at least. :P

How did this work out for you? If it did who did you send it with?

I sent two "yeast samples in aqueous suspension" to an address in USA and they got through fine, took a few weeks though. Only sent them late last month as i had to rewrap them to get the weight down. I sent them through An Post and got a sticker off them to declare what was in the package. Under 2kg is 17.00 euro and over 2kg is 36 euro so it better be important :P

DPD wanted 140.00 euro for the same package and i actually had to get an email from them to confirm this  :o
