There was not enough interest for Jody to continue trying to export herbs...........at best at any given time she had maybe 10 people world wide and 1/2 always seem to cause her problems, in that would order and then not take their order....I still have a bunch of "special" made products that out of country people wanted her to obtain and then ended up not taking and she finally had enough of it and wants nothing more to do with it.
What put the final nail in the coffin was the few that would buy from Jody and then e-mail us and not Jody and complain about the tax their country charged them or why it takes so long, etc., etc.....and those few are the ones that ended it for good. Most people today, want to make an order on the internet and then see the $$$ removed from their credit card the same hour and when that does not happen, they start calling and asking; DID YOU GET MY ORDER, CAN I HAVE THE TRACKING NUMBER????????? and a few will call every hour until that happens and even out of country, they don't understand why they don't have their order....
To collect payment from out of country, then drive to the post office and have a post office employee get out the books to locate the shipping address in another country and then read what restrictions they have on herbs, etc. and sometimes the people would be asked to acquire a medical prescription for the products or pay an extra taxation on the products, or sometimes customs would refuse the products which all added up to a dissatisfied customer and she didn't make enough $$$ to make it worth the hassle.
I know she had 3-4 great customers, but otherwise there was too many problems to be dealt with. Then consider declaring what she did make to the government and paying tax on that as well......I am sure if there was 50-100 out of country customers that may have made it worth the hassle, but that never happened and history has been showing that internet users buy less and less each year..........they tend to be lured to the cheapest sources on the planet via massive search engines designed to get the internet user reading websites that promise the moon at the cheapest price on the web and that gets people to buy.....cheap always the greatest motive there is. Sadly most websites on the internet that has anything to do with human health rarely have any truth to be read.

There have been a few that try to get us to send to a "carrier" that sends out of country and that will not work, it must be a private address, where there is a person that has to take the box to their local post office and ship it in "their" name....
With obama care in the usa and continued enslavement of the entire world step by step, we can only expect that soon there will be no importing or exporting permitted between private people and be a commercial process only-----the governments of all countries hate herbs, hate anything that helps extend human life....even the few countries that are herbal countries such as Korea, makes it illegal to import herbs, they don't want the competition.....and countries like Germany make it illegal to import herbs and want people to treat herbs the same as drugs.
AND the commercial companies, "all" radiate and remove all the good herbs and get their products pre-approved for international shipping.....pre-approval simply means you remove every beneficial herb from the bottle if you are going to ship to a socialistic country and virtually the entire world has went socialistic as far as medical goes and medical wants total control over all life on earth.
ALWAYS seek local herbs, every country has what everyone in that country needs---the ancients called it LIVING UNDER YOUR OWN FIG TREE
It would be great to ship "freely" world wide, but that is never going to happen with the 1 world order...THE USA is still one of the most free nations on earth, but the freedoms are fading away every year.
The GOOD TIMES are in the past for the USA, back in the days any hard working smart person could create a company----today, the brotherhood mafia starts in the colleges and only the brothers are permitted to own a company, those who comply with the commercial government rules and the government HATES wealthy none catholic families to the point that they have been destroying them for 60+ years for 1 very simple reason:
They hated the idea that wealthy kids could party on Islands and around the world and get each other pregnant.....bringing in "OUTSIDERS" into the families that believe they own his earth.....so their plan was to destroy all the self made millionaires and keep their brats poor and away from the blue blood's kids.....
REGULATIONS / TAXATION is how they keep us all under control, in all countries and it will only become worse in time..
I look to the future and expect the day to come that "states" will block herbal shipments and then eventually block all herbal shipments and the herbs have to be sold on the land they were raised on only.....WHY? Because they already do this to the amish who try to make raw apple cider vinegar.......they can't transport the vinegar off their own farm.
