Sort of! I just wish there was a tracking accessory that said it was in the hands of the recipient!

It's called "Signature Required"!Originally Posted by BuckeyeKdog

It's there that's all that matters. While it's nice that there could be a Sig requested for some of us it would delay receiving the box and delay getting it to the next person.

Agreed, Sig would be nice but, where I live and then where I work would mean a Sat delivery only. I'm usually out the door before the PO opens and always home after the mail has been delivered.

Sorry about not replying before this. I hadn't been watching closely since I was at the end of the list and wasn't expecting it this soon. I live in an apartment, so the packages always have someone available to sign. I picked it up from the office yesterday.
I've gone through the box once but haven't done a round 2 to separate the stuff I absolutely need to have. I didn't count as I sorted, but there's probably close to 300 items in the box now. i see a lot of stuff I like, but most of it is lower value like chenille, heads and thread. This box will cost almost $20 to mail. If I take out 5-8 items, I'll probably end up spending more than if I had just gone to the local fly shop.
So what I'd like to know is if anyone minds if I take out more? I will replace them with the same number of items of like value.
Don't worry, catch crappie.

Shoe - do 10-12 items. I've gotten several emails to the same effect that 5-6 items isn't worth it, and it's coming back to me for my turn and clean-up for Round 2. Besides what was in the box I started it out with 34 extras and others have done so also so I'm good with it. The 10-12 items will also be in effect for Round 2.

OK, the box will be going out today. Here's what I kept:
Here's what I sent:
When the box came on Saturday, I thought it was a large flat rate box so I didn't look closely at the mailing label. Turns out it was not. It's a large priority mailing box, which looks extremely similar but is charged by weight. I went through the box on Monday, repacked everything and bought postage through the USPS web site. When I went to pull the old labels off so I could put the new one on, I saw the postage cost and realized my mistake.
After weighing the box, I found the mailing cost would be approximately $33 for priority, $25 for parcel post. I was not a happy camper. I appreciate that everyone is so generous, but $25+ to mail the swap box is absolutely ridiculous. I went to the post office yesterday, got a large flat rate box and managed to make everything fit by removing the outer bag, pulling out the bag of yarn in the above pic and a large pack of loose hooks and practically sitting on the stuff to mash everything down. I will mail the yarn and hooks separately.
I would suggest in the future we limit the size to the large FR box.
Don't worry, catch crappie.
