I didn't think I would ever do this again but what we do for the birds! Anyway free if you pay shipping. I guess the best way is Priority and put as much as you can in the box. I'm not going to clean them and dry them like I have done in the past. Last time I had someone cut some down it was to much work but this time the tree wasn't as tall and their not so filthy dirty! I rinse mine and let them dry for a couple of weeks in my kitchen. They turn rock hard and brown. I'm not an expert but I was getting these for Luci's original owner and she told me how she does it and what color to look for. So I am continuing to do the same. This is the first time I have found some ripe enough since I have adopted Luci Dec 31, 2013. Some people I think like them green. Photo above shows them well! I just got them cut down today. Its 97 degrees here in Florida and the rest of them on in the garage for the night. I think they will actually ripen on the vine even after being cut! Poe wouldn't eat them so I did it strickly to mail to people who were a part of the Palmy Mommy Group and at my expense. It was my idea not to charge but the shipping really got expensive. So if anyone wants some let me know. I can only keep so many and just hate to throw them out knowing the big guys will enjoy them. I pay the same for the man to cut the whole cluster down for me so its just costing my time to mail them and I don't mind. Anxious to see if Poe will change his mind and try them out. This is luci's favorite nut. This tree is in a neighbor yard and no insecticides have been used. We have had so much rain and I guess that's why this bunch is so clean. He has many Queen Palms on his property so I have permission to get as many as I want when they are available. Let me know!

I just called Post Office and yes they do ship to Canada and also Priority mail. small medium large 20.00 50.00 60.00 is just a range. I will go to post office tomorrow and get sizes of the boxes. I think large is more like 66.00. She wasn't that helpful. Busy I guess.
When I sent package from Florida to New York it cost me 26.00 for a medium box and not priority. It was amazingly heavy. There no limit of weight. Fill all the way up.

Maybe @Kayaker could use this. He has a home full of macaws and others who would probably love these. Will pass on the message.

20.55 small 42.25 medium which is about 13 pounds large 55.75 United States 5.80, 12.35, 17.45 Big difference!
Have two small boxes left from yesterday's batch that I boxed this am. Can still get them out today if anyone responses in time. If not tomorrow. And if not I will unbox so they don't go bad. Many people wanted them but didn't respond for earlier shipping done this am.

Thank you!!
I didn't have your address or I would have sent you out a small box to try. I will do more when available. Maybe even next week. Hope everyone is happy with the delivery. I DID MY BEST! Thank goodness my neighbor help me or I would still be out in garage with the mosquitos. Raining like crazy and 97 degrees. I turned on the big fan to help blow the mosquitos off me. Have two small boxes left.

Look at prices and send me your mailing address. I will get them out when available next. I do have two 2 small boxes. If you want to try them there is quite a few in a small box for 5.80 or you can wait. Whatever you decide let me know. Medium box is about 13 pounds. Really a lot of nuts. I guess just depends on how many you have. I hope to sell the other two small boxes that are already to go. I would put them in the mail tomorrow or I will have to take them out of the boxes by tomorrow if I don't ship. No air flow. These are fresh picked yesterday and boxed this am.

If anyone wants some just email address and size box you want. They didn't have any large boxes and I was happy about it. A large box would weight a ton. I had to make a separate trip for the medium boxes. I couldn't carry more than one. And of course raining like all get out. Couldn't even get a parking space near the front door. I am so glad to do it. Not complaining but what a nasty day here in Florida.
