Arwen -
I really took Bit's post to heart and if I was harsh in my post because its a "do not" for you, then I apologize.
There is an option thru the US Postal Service called click and ship. If I recall correctly, Ami used this service to ready her packages.
Here is the link for the FAQs:

It looks pretty simple and if you are using any of the flat rate items, you can order packaging materials free of charge and your postal worker will deliver them to your home. Also, I am pretty sure if you use the click and ship feature, they will pick the packages up from your home too.
I agree with Bit in that I don't wish you to give up on this - I just wanted to ensure that the raffleghan was completed as we had promised.
