Could someone sell me Lychee and Passion fruit?

[AKpilot]

Heya from Alaska again,

I was wondering if anyone could sell me a box of Lychee or Passion fruit? I could pay you with pay pal or anything along those lines. I love those fruits, and think they should be coming ripe pretty soon. There is no way in Heck you'd ever see either fruit on any shelves up here in the Great white North. It's crappy apples oranges and green bananas for us. Anyhoo, if you can hook me up, drop me a line!

Thanks!

I got pineapples through to the NE by Mail
First you have to take the fruit with the box to the Ag inspectors office at the airport and let them check for bugs.
When they Say OK, they stamp and seal the box. Off you go to the Post Office and Flat Rate it off.

Pineapples are even allowed on planes (certified ones). Tourists buy them to take home all the time.
