circlingvultures Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 i think it might work better like this. if one person mails it to someone they know will actually mail it out then that person does the same it seems to have a better chance then if everyone just says i want to do it and give their address. that seems like it would be an automatic reference. There is a good number of people I would feel confident in mailing this to that i know would mail it out. How about someone agrees to do this with me and I will send to them and you can send to me, that way there is two boxes and noone gets left out. not a lot to lose.

circlingvultures Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 also i think after someone mails it they post here and announce who they mailed it to so we can track it. also instead of writing on the box and everyone having to use a new one let's just each write the new address on paper and when you receive it, the address is gently cut off and a new one in its place. This way there is no issues with needing to change boxes/not having mailing supplies etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 not sure if anyone mentioned this or not, but using a flat rate box is a good idea, that way everyone pays the same price for shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circlingvultures Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 i thought about that but i don't think it will be an issue. There's a lot of people I'm friends with who talk to other people that I don't. And with two boxes going around it seems less likely to happen. If I sent a box to you and you sent one to me, those are going in two different directions. Or both to alan. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 lol true. if we did it that we, there should probably be a stickied post that's updated with names everytime someone gets a box, so it would be easier to not re-send it to someone who already got it.

circlingvultures Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 yeah. i agree with that. as far as the flat rate boxes any idea what these run? I've only used the flat rate priority envelopes for international mailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 yeah. i agree with that. as far as the flat rate boxes any idea what these run? I've only used the flat rate priority envelopes for international mailing. I think they're like $6. Could be wrong. I work right behind a post office. I could find out today. I'm totally down with this. I have so much shit lying around. And I know tons of people who can back me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 small box (8 5/8" x 5 3/8" x 1 5/8"): $5.00 medium box (11" x 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" or 11 7/8" x 3 3/8" x 13 5/8"): $10.50 large box (12 1/4" x 12 1/4" x 6"): $14.00 i rounded up, haha.

circlingvultures Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 so does the flat rate seem like a good idea to everyone or would it be better to just use first class? If someone is willing to load a box up with heavy stuff they have to know it will cost more. Im open to either idea. I'm also ready to start this today as Im going to the post office in a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtz Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'd be into this if it gets started. I wasn't in on the last two, but I'd give it a shot this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlejonnyhormone Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I agree with making a list of everyone who has received a box already. Maybe have a list of potential candidates who haven't gotten one yet that are interested. I'd say just go with the $5 box, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm don't necessarily think that getting one in the past should preclude someone from getting one this time around. It's not like wee're giving away cash or something. It is junk, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlejonnyhormone Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I mean everyone who received a box this time around, not in the past. Sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
