It is forbidden fot employees to open or destroy content of letters and parcels. One could loose his job for that.

I'm sure it is just a standard processing issue and no malicious intent.

I wish I could believe it was an accident but I've had so many episodes of posties trying to score some weed by ripping a package open so the plants die that I don't trust them.

Many thanks to Lloyd for starting this topical thread.
I've had similar problems sending and receiving native tallgrass prairie and temperate wetland seeds.
I was told a while back that new automated sorting systems and compressed packaging of numerous envelopes (shipped in bulk bins to regional sorting facilities) result in crushed seeds. Although there are times I also think it Cd Post staff.
Thanks for the great bubblewrap and bottlecap suggestions.

Yea, to be safe, it's better to use bubble wrap, foam or equalvalent, and with oversize stamp ($1.8CAD+tax).
