Yup it was mailed. Steve, Peter, and I mailed pollen back and forth. My method was to harvest the pollen as I normally would. Once in the tube (I store it in microfuge tubes) I put the tube in the freezer. To mail it, I shipped it overnight with 1 or 2 ice packs in small styrofoam coolers (like 6in x6 in x6 in). The pollen that came to me was shipped the same way!

Everything that arrived was still cool, and based on the pods I've got, viable!
