I personally like a flat five. Although if I’m sending something heavy or something extra I try to enclose a little more. I figure it all kind of evens out since usually most of us main players take turns wrangling.

Please keep in mind that I've only wrangled once as you read the following. Meaning, I have a very limited frame of reference.
You make a good point regarding the cost of postage. The "cost" of wrangling is postage but also the cost of packaging, if new packaging is needed. And of course, the size of packaging also impacts postage. I was anticipating eight pieces measuring about 2" x 2" x 1/4 - 1/2" each. Three of the pieces were quite a bit larger than anticipated. One of those larger pieces turned out to be mine... so I'm not complaining! lol SMH If we could agree to final products that are no larger than A x B x C ... then cost (and process) should be less (and easier) for everyone. Also... or alternatively ... we could agree to a specific shipping container size ... and .... each participant could mail their crafts in a reusable container. If we could standardize a couple of things ... it should be a lot easier for everyone ... particularly the wrangler! The wrangler would then just need to resort the crafts in the boxes received, relabel, and ship everything back out in the same containers! Damn near turnkey! Hope that makes sense... I may have been was in shipping/logistics too long! PS / EDIT ... if ever I wrangle again ... I'm buying one of these below. In that past I just used a box cutter ... this thing makes it look so much easier! Just watch... Quote:

Twinchies!!!!! This project surpassed any expectations I could have had. Everyone went all out. There are a few where I am unsure of the artist. But I will try to suss that out later.
As we're talking about potential issues, could everyone please remember to clearly mark your pieces so we can give credit to your amazing art! |

In case others are wondering, I'd say FSF's was the calligraphy type style wrapped in perhaps a monkey, unless I'm going nuts! I loved those twinchies!
Remember, folks, if you don't want to sign right on your art, you can always sign in an outer envelope or wrapping. we want to give you credit for your awesome work!

You know what we have to do again sometime soon? Matchboxes! OMG, those are always a big hit!
*Just thinking out loud*

Theme? I agree with Clay, we don't want the wrangler to have to come up with a lot of extra money, I had the exact same thought when I got my package to day and saw that Lyte had to spend $2.45 more than I gave. Seem most people are getting them today, so I want to make a few comments on them! Besame, I love the color you used, and 4 twinchies, you really worked hard on this one, so cute too! CCB, I love the key and the heart on mine...done in your truly unique fashion like your jewelry...great job! Gemme, I like all the different textures! Breathless, so pretty... I love pink! nycfem, adorbs! You know I'm a kitty lover! And the "family" charm, so awesome! FSF, Beautiful work and so sweetly wrapped! Clay, Nice job...and I like what you wrote on the back...and the extra embossed butterflies...very cool...what kind of machine is it that you have to make those? |

Oops.
I forgot one....LYTE! Your twinchie project was simply amazing! I loved the box, and every little thing that went into the twinchie...so sweet. And I think you did an amazing job as a wrangler. |

Times are a'changin', folks. We need to keep current mailing costs in mind and choose a cost that's in line with what we are sending. Also, if we send something outside the size parameters, then we need to include enough additional money to account for having to send more expensive packages to all of the participants. Wranglers should not have to dip into personal funds to send stuff out to us. I've had to do it multiple times when enough money wasn't sent or when people never sent any money at all. It's frustrating and why I haven't pushed to wrangle a round lately. Quote:
I received my package yesterday and was sooo happy. Everyone did exceptional work. I was very excited to dig into my package and see all the goodies sent. |

Should we up it to 7 as a new policy to accommodate rising costs?

I usually use priority envelopes, which I guess is the same difference.

I agree with Gemme, sometimes it does get more costly if a project (s) is outside parameters. I will be sending Lyte a couple extra dollars, too! Matchboxes...in all shapes, sizes, & colors...whoohoo....

Thanks y'all for your kind words re: my twinchie. I am glad y'all liked them. I did not set out to make anything so elaborate! I crafted my arse into a corner when I added the "flowers." How do I ship it in such a way that the flowers don't get crushed? Great... now my crafty bit needs a crafty carrier! lol SMH Which... I hear didn't fully do it's job and at least one of you has received a tripod moose.
So... apparently... there was another screw up by yours truly ... everyone should have one cute lil wrapped package with a monkey on it! I've just learned that a group member received two of them. Please let me know if your package is minus one and I will remedy the issue. Sorry and thanks! |
