I sure will let you know, posting here.

Thank you Georgia!

I have 2 people's projects, Orema )post secrets only) and nycfem sent BOTH hers. These are great projects so far!!!!

The Matchbox should be plenty of time 5+ weeks....so that deadline will stay same!

I have been off sick from work since last Friday. All my postcards were at work. I will be sending them out today. I am so sorry everyone. If mine can’t be included I understand. I just returned to work today

I'm really sorry to hear you've been sick Soft*Silver. I believe with all the nasty stuff that's been going around, you were probably lucky it lasted less than a week. I hope it wasn't too horrible. I'm looking forward to seeing your cards! I expect you have plenty of time for them to arrive before the extended deadline. Take care!

Mine are done. I'm just waiting on a chance to get them mailed out. I'm working over 50 hours a week now and only have Sundays and holidays off or half off so it's been a challenge to do so.

FireSignFemme · 01-15-2023, 10:42 PM

Mailing out Tue or Wen but plan on sending priority so should make it on time.

I'm sending mine out tomorrow or Wednesday, also going priority. They've been done since last week but I just haven't had time to go to the post office yet.
Also, I'm about half way there on my match boxes, too. Super excited about those. I do want to ask about how much money to send with the match boxes though. They're a fair bit heavier. Should we send $10 for postage with those?

Hi...thank you. The matchboxes will most likely have to go back in a small box, and if are heavier, may be more??

I don't want them to get smashed in envelopes, even padded ones.

Let us know what you think it might be. I'm happy to send whatever it takes to get this done. Thanks for wrangling.

Given that basic, flat parcels cost me between $5-9 a piece to mail, depending on where they went, it will definitely be higher.

If they can all fit into the smallest 'if it fits, it ships' priority box, then it should be between $10-12 each for clay to send. If clay has to go to the next size up, it's around $16-18 per box to ship.

My Post Secrets will go out tomorrow.

Thank you, Gemme for the info. I will use the smallest box possible as we will have 6 to go in them......and mine won't need mailing...chuckling....

Will see what gets mailed to me, etc, and box size needed. I will definitely return any leftover $$ to the each person who sends extra. Based on what Gemme said, perhaps $20 with matchboxes projects??
nina03/Gemme...thank you for the updates...much appreciate them!!

It was my pleasure to wrangle these 2 projects!

I just checked the USPS web site, and a Priority Mail small flat rate (whatever fits is the same price) box (about the size of a VHS video tape) is $10.40.

I sent $2 extra with my post secrets project because I didn't have change, so why don't we all send clay $10?

* * * * *

I finished my first matchbox today. I'm so excited!

nina03 · 01-19-2023, 01:47 AM

I sent my post secret cards today. They should be there Friday by 6pm.

6??? I count 7.

Am I wrong?

I could be.

It's been a week.

Congrats!!

I'll change my project then. That sized box won't fit 6 others plus mine and I cannot pay the difference to send them all out. This girl is starting the new year with a very thin wallet.
