Title: Picked up my St. Judes supplies from USPO
Post by: Ray Lyon on June 05, 2014, 03:07:00 PM
in preparation of shipping out to the winners of the auctions once the moderator's indicate they're  paid.  I got boxes for everything except the 1957 Kodiak package, but that'll just take sorting out a box from the back room at work to make a custom shipping box.  

Good luck bidding folks.  I've hopefully got a few things coming back my way, unless some sneaky snipers pick off bids at the last minute.   :nono:

Ray,
       Wouldn't be great if we could somehow get the USPS involved in the St. Jude auction. There is going to be a lot of money spent with them in the next few weeks. Just a thought.

Craig,
They need the money as bad as any organization, it's just not the same good cause.  

I figure I'll have $100 in shipping fees for the stuff I'm shipping and I'll be paying Snag whatever it costs to ship arrows to winner of custom arrows he makes on behalf of winner of custom arrows I donated.

On the bright side, those items should generate close to $1,000 for the kids.  I'm very pleased with that! Thank you bidders.

Yep, I'm guessing about $100-120 in shipping fees for me....well worth it though. Gotta get items from point "a" to point "b". USPS seems the best bargain.

I have an appliance box I'm gonna cut up to ship the arras. Thicker cardboard but still lightweight and durable. Got the big 4-pack of shipping tape, too.

Love the St. Jude time of year here on TG.

Ray,
       I guess what I was getting at was if the USPS would take a % of each shipping fee and donate it to St. Judes. It also would help the kids and the USPS would shine.
