How to mail kefir grains

[Pat Robinson]

I found a 10-pack of 'Bubble Wrap cushioned mailer' yellow envelopes for mailing CD/DVDs (7.25x7.25) with self sealing adhesive at Office Max. They only cost $27 for 30 envelopes!

I have sent fresh (not dehydrated grains) with a bit of liquid kefir, double baggied, with one page of instructions. The weight was under 4 ounces. So, it cost about $5 to mail out first class from my mailbox, with all the supplies.

I wanted an easy system to send them out from home.

I do not have extra grains brewing at the moment. Usually, I have a ton. I just have my stack of envelopes next to the computer and as someone requests grains, I address the envelope and send them along.

Thanks for sharing your extra kefir grains too!

[Can not ship above 85 degrees.]

 

Can only ship in the US. If you'd like milk kefir grains or SCOBY, post to the forum or check at Cultures for Health.

Can they be mailed any time of year?  Even in the heat?
