wolfsoul ship it the same as me. Xpresspost National large bubble envelope, it'll be cheaper & theres not really a weight limit, ok there is but ur not gonna be able to put 30kg in that bag, it'll rip & pop all the bubbles. Its about 12$ after tax.
if its too big to fit in the bag, put it in ur own box (don't buy one), tape it up at home (unless u wanna spend 3$ on tape at the post office) & then ship it regular & add tracking for an extra $1.00, the inssurance is free (unless its worth more then $100.00, but thats not gonna happen).
Make sure u put clear tape over the addresses (from: & to:), I see & hear of too many bad things happening to parcels.
If I sent my stuff regular it would have taken almost 1 1/2 weeks to get there & cost me almost $20.00, just because of the weight.
If ur still not sure whats best, put ur gifts in a bag & take a trip to the post office & get it weighed & ask whats the cheapest (compare it to the express bubble I told u about.)
I posted mine on Saturday and it will take 4 or 5 days to arrive :eek:
I loved shopping for the gifts. But I wanted to buy a particular thing and even after visiting three places, I couldn't find it :( but I'll post it seperately when I find it (and I will find it)
I'm glad other people have gone over budget too
Sunday's no fun........NO MAIL!!!!!!!!!
We don't get mail on sat or sun
Well I bought a few more things today. :o But I have just ONE more thing to get, as I was going to make something but just not time, so I will be buying the person a gift. I know I said I was done, but well.........LOL
I be shipping mine out tomorrow for sure. :)
Anxiously hoping my "gift pal" gets their gift soon. :D
Going to the post office in just a little bit! Whee! :D
Finished my shopping on Sat and got to the Post Office to mail it off. To the recipient: Unfortunately it will take 8 business days for the package to get there. I could have sent it in 3-5 business days but that would cost me an extra $30.00 which I don't have right now. So, hopefully in less than 2 weeks it will get there.
Let's here one for Canada Post......
:eek: :eek: Ours just tapes it up free if it looks like it needs it.Quote:

Okies, well, I've already got a box to put the things in....I think we might have some brown paper to put over it...(My mom's a big fan of keeping paper bags to tape on parcels :rolleyes: )
I just finished making the last (hopefully last!!) present yesterday. Took me a long time lol. It looks kinda...ummm....gibbled...hope my buddy doesn't mind....:o It's the thought that counts, right? :D
Sending mine after work today :p .. so in approximately 2 hours! :D
To my recipient, I apologize for the color of the wrapping tissue paper in the box, I forgot a little detail :o ;) hehe
I checked the tracking on the package I sent to my Gift Swap recipient today and the website states that it was in NB on the 26th. I can't wait for her to get it.
And "she" can't wait either!!!! ;)
Is it too late for me? I decided that I want to do it!! Is Christmas the next go around?:(
