Cost me north of thirty NZ dollars to send a single MT to the States in December.I'm always down for free stuff and wanted to take part but I just can't afford the postage atm.
Yes, the postage is an issue everywhere, but I figured it would be cheaper for something not going international.
It was pretty cheap for sending the box nationally here at least
There's nothing else for it, you'll have to get on a train and force it upon the scots, or grab a ferry and go after stitchy You may have tipped your hand on one of your items kept in another thread
So, am I sending this somewhere? Splitting up the contents to send in separate packages, either as a surprise or showing what I've got? Keeping them back for GAWs? Sending something at random to the previous people who took part in this before?* Keeping the lot and making a large donation to forum operational funds or get a Charter Membership in lieu?** I'm just throwing random smurf ideas out there in case this really has fallen flat.It needs re-packing and boxing, but that won't take too long, and it's taking up space at the moment, so someone help me shift it on...*I think I could work out what other people have put in when, or I could just send stuff I've already bought to go in.**I'd really, really, really rather not do that, but as doing GAWs or an open "if you want this particular tool shout up and I'll send it to you" go against the principle of it all being a surprise, it seems like a last, desperate option if this has honestly ground to a halt.
I think you should seal up whatever is left in the box and send it to anyone on that side of the Atlantic whose address you already have. Let whoever it is enjoy a nice surprise (and get it the smurf out of your house). Just be sure the next recipient knows it is the Pay it Forward box and they are supposed to move it along. At least this way there will be continued progress instead of this long term stall we are currently experiencing.
And if shipping is an issue for that person, let me know and I will pay for it. Def
Sorry, it's been a busy few days so I've not been able to check back in on the thread. Alan's is a cracking idea, the problem being I've only got GF's address as it stands. I doubt he'd appreciate the whole lot just being sent back to him. I'm happy to try and break it up for others though, along the lines mentioned by Surge. If I get a calm moment this week I could look at starting a new thread to try and throw some life back into it on that front.
So... Life has kinda got in the way over the last few months. Aside from the Soldier On! Challenge I haven't really been on here lately. With that in mind, I'm giving this one last bump. If no one wants to jump in on it as it is, then I'll attempt some sort of "Great British Giveaway", to butcher an over-used naming pattern.
Sounds like a plan. I still can't believe that nobody has chimed in on this one
We were let down by north of the border
Isn't that often the case?
The wheels are in motion...
I've just messaged Josh, I got some news the other week which has pushed everything else into the background. But, all being well, it'll be in the post within the next week or so.
