I'm sorry I shouldn't complain about my troubles. I just hate to disapoint when I'm the one putting together a skimpy package.

Although I definitely want to complain about everyone shipping with Parcel Post. If an item weighs 2oz why not ship first class? Wrap in bubble wrap to make it package sized and you get a delivery confirmation number and it only costs around $2! Instead of over $6! I'd like to save that extra $4.

If you are worried at all honey please pm me...I am sure your partner will be delighted with your box. You should be shipping your swap box in an actual box though - its what all swap members will be doing

mkia and Dazzle wow! You guys are posting teasers already! Awesome.

Oooo thats a good idea!

I always save shipping stuff. I feel its not about the box but what is in it.

If I was to recieve a drawing in the mail I would love anything G1 or G3. As for the pony I do not have anything I want more then others. I know that is not much help

Done that before too lol! They are actually a really good idea cause they tend to be made of quite a sturdy cardboard...plus my little brother has feet like a basketball player so he tends to have awesome sized shoe boxes lol!

Whoops sorry that complaint about shipping had to do with my ebay shopping. I just purchased a very small and light item and it seems sooo unnecessary not to send first class.

I don't have everything just yet but I do have a box! Today I'm going to go find some fun wrapping paper.

[hathorcat]

Yuck! I know that feeling about ebay - you pay $20 for shipping and it turns up with the sender having shipped in a plastic envelope and cost $5 total! Grrrrrr....

I am guilty of the opposite on eBay when I sell.....I usually undercharge and spend money out of my own pocket. But that's the right thing to do, IMO. I just don't have time to run to the PO for a quote everytime I need to ship something. And if it doesn't cost as much, I refund the amount. But I almost always spend out of pocket.

And thats what makes you a good seller!

Aww, thanks.   I just put 12 auctions on eBay in the last couple of days. That's the first time in months that I've had anything put up for auction. Been cleaning out my room and wanting to get rid of some things I feel that I can part with.  I am very confident that I have once again greatly undercharged shipping for many of my auctions.

I've gone and made myself a cheat sheet (which I must edit now that postage went up) I've got a sticky note next to my computer listing the postage for every weight. So I just have to weigh my stuff and glance at the sheet. I mostly send ponies so I have a 1st class sticky and an International Priority sticky.
