"If it fits, it ships."

Yeah, love the Flat Rate boxes but too bad my printer is on the fritz otherwise I'd use the Click-N-Ship program that USPS has. Coulda been as simple as pack the Flat Rate box, print out the postage, stick it on the box and leave it in my mail box for the carrier to pick up. Gotta go stand in line tomorrow...oh well.

The one in our neck of the woods is broken and they're waiting for parts. Lame! I bet they don't have the money to fix it but just don't wanna tell us. Liar

I looked at the receipt more than a few times prior to posting (...on the outside chance that the clerk pointed at the wrong number...) but that was the only number that looked viable. Pretty disappointing since I specifically asked the gal for the tracking number. ram27bat

I dunno what else to tell ya.... Sad

Dude,

A man's gotta know his limitations and since I've only been into seegars since January or so, got a l-o-n-g ways to go before I can even be in the same room as some of you. I tried my best and stuffed all I could into the box but after seeing what my fellow '13ers sent, know mine was miniscule compared to theirs. Makes me wanna go to Baskin 'n Robbins and get an ice cream cone (...you know, with those 31 flavors to choose from...).

I happened to be right outside the door when the mail carrier arrived...saw the LFR box and *immediately* knew it was for me. Sum good stuffs! Rick, you da man! Will post up pic and list later after I get home (...although I'll need help with the list from you Rick...). I'll be happily smoking new sticks for a while that's for sure. Oh, and using the great Black Ops Triple Flame lighter (...with custom shealth...) to torch 'um up. And eating chips with the homemade salsa that was expertly wrapped up. With still more stuffs to list.

Mahalo nui loa.

Bummers. Sad

Yeah...you know, the clerk did question me about why I would want insurance on such a small box...but I figured the smokes musta been worth at least $51 so for the small cost of the insurance, it was worth it. I guess next time I'll cut back on the sticks and take a chance without insuring. d'oh!

I guess that's what happens with a FNG. Still learning the ways of the brotherhood. Sorry for causing so much inconvenience. Brick wall

But wait...most POs will allow you to p/up before they open. Well, at least my local does. Just take the slip with you and you should be good. Well, maybe....

That seems like a sensible thing to do.


Also makes sense to take a step back and remember this was about trading and having fun.


Seems somebody was accused of whining when continuously tried to remind people of that for 2 weeks.

Settle Down All Ya'all...................................

Dayum good thing I took the truck to go pick this MUTHER FRIGGER up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't have time to do more than a basic look cause the box was bursting at the seams and I wanted to relieve the pressure to prevent an explosion while it sat in my hallway at home, had to drop and run - way busy day today..

All I can say is judges - hold the line - this thing looks to be packed to the gills with goodies, snacks, golf stuff and others - didn't even get to the cigars yet.

I am overwhelmed is all I can say. I sent a good hit, this is a friggin awesome hit and I'm not even sure what else is in there.............................

Many, many THANKS Conan, I'll post more later, but HOLY FRIGGIN SHIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
