Often the price difference between priority and general is negligible. Even more so if you buy your postage online and you can even request online for at home pickup.

True about the priority boxes. They can only be used for priority. They started printing on the inside of the box so people couldn't turn them inside out to use them for regular.

No one has said they haven't received my swaps so I'm assuming everyone has!

them dumb regional boxes they have now they quote gives cheaper shipping prices. You can't even use them unless you pay for postage online. I have yet to get a cheaper quote on them.

I am now doing all of my postage online thru paypal (you can also use USPS.com but they require a CC or DC). After doing the math of what it cost to pay at the PO compared to doing it myself online I am saving around $1.50-$2 a package and that adds up after awhile. What cost .70 cents for delivery confirmation at the PO is free online! Of course the PO doesn't tell you that either.

Don't you have to weigh the package? I love saving money!

You do but any scale will work. I have an old kitchen scale and a postal scale I bought several years back at Walmart for around $10. I am all about a bargain and if I can save a couple of bucks here and there and especially on postage with the way they treat our packages I sure will!!

Hi, everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that I had to post two members onto the cannot swap area. Post #2. These people cannot continue to swap until they have mailed the items and send me confirmation numbers. The members are Saddina & sred98.

Please contact me if anyone else has swaps that they have not received that are over two weeks old and the person has not been in contact with you as to why the item has not been sent.

I have a digital scale that I purchased for less than $20.00 and that included shipping to me. I have had it for 3 years and works like a champ. It does save money to buy online. When I take the package to the post office, I just hand it over they scan it in and I am done in less than a minute. We have a small post office so no line.

I was doing this too and then ran out of ink.

Yes, we have cactus. That is one thing that grows freely around us. We think of them as weeds. We have barrel cactus and prickly pear. How many do you need and what size?

I do have a scale for weighing chemicals for pottery,but I don't think I can put packages on it. But I may have another one in the garage, need to clean that out and look. Good idea!
