What I do when they say that is don't send them that day refold them so there flatter and use tighter Saran wrap it has worked every time.

I think she did warn us somewhere it could be costly but everyone I have sent was 1.1 oz...just over the 44. But I would rather go ahead and put on the extra 20 to be sure it gets there and the receiver doesn't have to pay any postage due.

It makes a different in the way the "flap" is on the envelope also...if you use the flap on the end (like a manilla envelope) it costs more than if you use an envelope that a regular letter comes in where the flap is on the long edge of it....something about a "package" vs an "envelope".

I can't imagine the folks that are in 2 or 3 of these booms at once...holy moly the post office must love them

:P

Love these swaps. I will be getting on everyone's blocks after my vacation the first week of July. When I get home, I get to focus on quilting again. Boy it has been busy this month with graduation, child to college, flu, cold, fever, earache, three round robins at once that have applique rounds this time, and not getting out of office at work so put in a 50 hour work week. Love life. I think I am due for a vacation and will, of course, be taking some hand work that needs to be done for a quilt that should have been done ages ago. Handwork and me do not always coincide.

:shock:

I agree, holy moly. Most of mine go out at 1.17 for the 'package'. The 64 cents was expected after I found out they needed to be hand stamped. It's still a great swap tho. :-D

I do believe your fabric will be up next after reesklyers.... already got part of yours worked on in a bout of inspiration - then I properly placed it back in it's received order to stay fair and square.
