Thanks Josh, I had already told him about our experimenting on shipping, without using your name. I already sent him some 32 inch tall plants that had flowers and pods on them that are pictured in my website. In fact, I started a new " Seriously Hot Peppers" Facebook page a few weeks ago, and two of the plants I sent him are shown in a picture. We just talked today and I gave him a Skype type tour with "Hangouts" of all my pepper plants and he just picked out two 2 year old plants I will probably be shipping tomorrow. After that,, I may be shipping a 5 year old bhut that is about 4+ feet tall with a 1 inch+ caliper, and it may end up going express mail, so maybe not Australia, but anywhere in this country, feel free to take him seriously. We have already been dealing and he is for real.
For me, you already know, I've been shipping all sizes of plants for 26 years. If you need a plant that is 110 inches tall, I can put it on a Delta flight and it will be in Las Vegas in two hours, (clock wise because of the time change) after I bring it to the airport. I have crated 300 year old Dioons and sent them out west. Shipping pepper plants are more difficult than shipping cycads because they are so soft, but when you do it correctly, shipping 5 foot pepper plants across the U.S. isn't impossible, it just costs money. When I ship a small cycad that costs $3500, you are picky on how it is shipped, but for peppers, to me, it isn't worth the shipping costs, but that isn't my call.
