Instead of the usual big Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes, this time we will be using the SMALLER Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes or you can choose to use the Priority Mail Flat Rate envelopes. Pick which packaging will better suit the items that you are sending. But either way, please use duck tape or the thick clear tape to seal your packaging. I have received too many open packages lately since the packaging was not secure enough, so things might have gotten lost in transit. So just adding this in so that nothing gets lost before it gets to its new owner.http://bestsmileys.com/mail/5.gif


All items sent MUST be new, and in UNOPENED PACKAGES. You can send Disney items, things from your area, ..... but if the recipent does have any allergies/dislikes, please take that into consideration.


There is no money amount, just pack the box/envelope full to get your moneys worth on the flat rate shipping, and so that your recipent has a full box/envelope to open.

This exchange is open to both kids, and adults. If you prefer to send to a child or an adult, please let me know during the time you sign up, and I will see if I can put it together based upon a first come first serve basis. Also, if you will be away during the exchange period, I do ask that you let me know of the dates before you leave.


Sign ups will be till Thursday July 16th, and names will be out by Friday July 17th. All exchanges must be sent out by-Monday July 27th.

thinking about it here too. I need to get a box and see what I have that fits. I do find more fits in the envelopes, but they need to be non-fragile.

Sounds interesting. I have to see if I have a small flat rate box or if the post office has one.....

Hmmm...not sure. They don't hold much.
I think I might rather wait for a regular flat rate box exchange....they hold so much more for the price.
I have the small boxes and envelopes and I know once before I tried to pack the box....I think it was for the sock exchange and not enough would fit....they did however fit in the envelope ;)

Sounds like fun. But I would be going out and buying "stuff" just to fill in. Although I sure could fit a lot of pins in that box! :lmao: (And don't think for a minute I have not done that in the past. :laughing: )

Thought this would be a fun one, and with the price that it costs to send, it would be resonable. I have stuffed alot in a small box that weighed alot, so you never know.

A box full of pins sounds like fun.

Still thinking about it. I will have more time tomorrow to experiment with what I can fit in one.

Sorry Patsy, I saw the small flat rate box our P O offers (much smaller then the on in your post) and I don't think I could get a book in it. The items I have are much to big to for the box.

Yes, the small rate box I have is much smaller than that one. And you're right, a book wouldn't fit in there. (I have one here, just folded it up). I'm still thinking about this exchange--I have some smaller items (extra things that I didn't include in previous exchanges) so this could work for me. some of the stuff I have that can fit--pencils, bookmarks, trial/travel size lotions, lip balm, candy, and those magic towels.

Well, it is a picture of the small flat rate box, but it isn't in proportion to the envelope.
I ordered a pack of them, but have never used one. I brought one out and taped it. I will see if I can get enough to fit in it to warrant the $5 price, so much more can go in the regular one for the $10 price though.

The envelope is 12.5" x 9.5"
The small box is 5-3/8” x 8-5/8” x 1-5/8”

If the items are not fragile, the envelope holds a lot more.

I think I'm in! Will send a pm.

Sounds like fun to me to see just how much little stuff you can "stuff" into one of those boxes or envelopes!

Will have to stop by the PO tomorrow and pick each one up.

Meriweather
