Trudy Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 By the looks of many of the pics of gifts received... the USPS was pretty busy with Greytalk priority mail packages. I think they should give us a cut of what they made off us all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tenderhearts Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The postmaster usually waits on me, and he always laughs when I tell him it's that time of the year for the big Greytalk SS gift exchange :rofl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundlov Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Oh, yeah. Shipping for one of my packages was $58.

mimosasmom Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 That must've been overseas. Mine were $7 or $8 each to ship, and one was cross country. Quote Camille, Mom to Cher and Centeno!

Guest junefour Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Two of mine were 30.00 to ship and the other was around 15? Two went to Canada and one up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest savvyprchick Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) That must've been overseas. Mine were $7 or $8 each to ship, and one was cross country. Mine were shipped in the U.S. But it WAS priority mail each with insurance ($1.65) and delivery confirmation ($1-$2).

Guest kgildea Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Oh, yeah. Shipping for one of my packages was $58. for ONE package?!? You really need to stop sending out those solid gold bars.

winnie Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I think I spent between $7-$9 to ship each package via Priority Mail - pretty typical. Oh, yeah. Shipping for one of my packages was $58. What on earth were you shipping?

Burpdog Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) Fedex home delivery (3 days) would have been a whole lot cheaper if it was in the States (re $58). Sometimes, if you must go USPS, two flat rate boxes are cheaper than one big box.

retiredracers Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I think my SS package is stuck at my post office... I got a not from USPS yesterday that it was being held at the PO. It was sent needing signature confirmation and I'm never home during the week. They might try to redeliver tomorrow. I hope they do. The post office closes before I get off work so I can't stop by there to get it.

Guest junefour Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I shipped out three packages today for my family for a little over 27.00. Anyone know why shipping to Canada no longer is able to send other than priority? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyGrey Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Oh, yeah. Shipping for one of my packages was $58. I'm sure the lucky hound will love the new couch! Our GTSS packages get extra special attention when they go through Mankato because one of the postal employees has a greyhound 6pack and hosts our m&gs.

Anyone know why shipping to Canada no longer is able to send other than priority? You don't have to send Priority to Canada if the package weighs less than 4 lbs. I sent a pair of riding breeches to Canada (sold on eBay) in a padded envelope and it only cost me about $7-8.

HeyGrey Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Priority mail also has one rate boxes. They aren't huge but you can get a lot in them and no matter the weight, the cost to ship is $8.95 Quote [ Neighbor Mike Inspired by Beloved Angels Danny & Mick Custom Quilted Coats, Wallhangings & MORE "From there to here, From here to there, Funny things are everywhere.
