I think many people do not realize how expensive it is to ship fabric - I can cram about 9 pounds of fabric into the larger medium flat rate box - but that costs $11.35 to mail if mailed from a post office, $10.85 if the postage was printed on-line.
I think some folks are willing to give unwanted fabric away - if there would not be an additional cost to them to get it gone!
Exactly!
What I have in 13 gallon trash bags could probably fill close to 10 large flat rate boxes. That's close to 16 bucks a box!
Not to mention the gas and time it takes to lug all that to the post office.......lol
It's easier to throw it away.
