Wanted mangroves some time ago so I found seller on eBay from Hawaii. It was like $100 for 80 pods. I asked about issues shipping to Canada and he said no problem, they are seed pods not flowers or plants.
I ordered and a week later I received a call from border services food/plant inspection in Vancouver telling me these are a no go into Canada without the proper paperwork etc.etc. Numerous calls and Fax correspondence later I was told they will ship them back to the seller at my expense or throw them in the trash.
Talked to the seller and he said trash them, and he refunded my money.
The next day the doorbell rings and its Canada post with a parcel. 80 Mangroves.
Yes I did pay for them.
