[quote/quote]Do you mean you keep their names and when you have another box built up you send it to the next on the list?
Do you ever distribute them in mailer envelopes? That way more people get some, but no one gets one big box.[/quote]
I was wondering how the payment part of it should be managed. What you do seems sensible. Thanks for all the help.

Doing it this way is easier for me because it means less trips to the post office. I wait to send the box until I receive payment and it clears at the bank if it is a check or money order.

I think I'm getting a little frantic about them, they take up too much space. My room is very small! What advice can you knowledgeable folks give me on this problem? But first let me tell you a couple of things. Everyone in my guild has the same problem. To the extent where the charity quilt group has told us they won't need anymore scraps for a long time. I'm willing to give some away to anyone on this board who would like to have some, but I wouldn't be able to foot the bill for the postage. What would YOU all do?
Thanks. 8-)

Don't have time to read three pages, but I have learned that a regular box the same size as a postal flat rate can be cheaper!
All depends on how heavy it is.
I better get off this thread before I'm hunting down those scraps, lol.
