Dear Permies team,
Herewith I request to arrange a ploskorez (Fokin hoe permaculture tool, recommended by Sepp Holtzer) giveaway in the nearest months. Please check the link: https://permies.com/wiki/114342/tech/Fokin-ploskorez-hoe-Ecominded
I had 2 or 3 successful giveaways  before and last giveaway I had about 2 years ago. So I beleive it's a good time to arrange a new Ploskorez giveaway this year.
Please let me know if you can arrange a Ploskorez giveaway this year and what I need to provide to make it happen.

No problem at all.  Our customers in the USA and Canada recieve their parcels within 3-4 weeks

I asked at the post office.   They sent me to this link which says canada isn't accepting post to Russia at this time.  The postal worker also said that incoming from Russia doesn't seem to be making it through.

https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/our-company/support-dashboard.page#iw_comp1603338933882

But the post office has been wrong before.

So, pretty much we need a volunteer staff to step up and do the behind the sceens stuff.  Maybe part of that would be looking into the shipping thing more.

You make amazing tools, so I hope we can make this work.

Yes, they have been wrong for sure. The truth is that you may have problems trying to post anything from Canada to Russia. But all parcels from Russia to Canada are delivered as usual.  Here is the evidence: https://www.pochta.ru/tracking?barcode=CL038723520RU#  - one of our customers recieved their parcel on July 31st - please use vpn to open the link!
