Hi everyone recieved 8 more today, but just a gentle reminder, no matter what the PO says they do cost a 65 cent stamp to send, I already owe the PO for 3 peoples postage. I am not mad but please put a 65 cent stamp on the envelopes.

I sent my husband to mail mine (first mistake...) , and the postman weighed them, made sure they slipped through the measuring slot and charged me regular postage for the first time...made me wonder. So hopefully mine will not arrive postage due!

So daisey, who did you receive? Did you get mine?

No problem sofar and they come with all kinds of postage and fluffyness. Hope my luck doesn't run out.

the majority of F8's I have received in the Boom swaps have come to me w/ .45 stamp and have never had to pay any postage. I think it has to do w/ the receiving PO, which just makes me mad. If the mailing PO said it was OK w/ a .45 stamp what right do they have to disagree with them and make you pay more. It should be up to the PO that is mailing it. Does that make sense to anyone else or is it just me and my twisted logic?

Yep, that's exactly what can happen. The mailing post office gives a quote, but the receiving post office disagrees and tries to charge more. Bad thing is, even clerks at the VERY SAME post office sometimes disagree.

When I used to sell on eBay, I'd look up the price online first, and when I'd take the package to the post office, I'd try to get a specific clerk ... one who knew what she was doing. The others would try to overcharge nearly every time. It was worse on international packages than domestic ones. Sometimes I'd have to print out the USPS website's quote as proof, and even then, they'd fuss about it even though I had the quote right there in black-and-white. So frustrating!

I'm glad the postage can be printed online now, if I need to ship a package.

I can almost guarantee if you send to me with 45 postage I will have to pay the other 20 cents. it bites but it is what it is. I usually just absorb it, for 20 cents! It is crazy.
So if you send me a Squishy, try to remember 65 cents no matter what the PO you are sending from says!

Out of all the mail I have received in the past few days only 2 got by with a 45 cent stamp. But luckily most are putting the extra postage.

This boom seems to be really fast. I have already received 4 completed blocks back, Awesome!

I recieved a bunch of squishies this week. My plan was to make them as they arrive...not happening. I still don't have my fabric ready, but will this week get it in the mail. Here is the ones I have received so far.

Could it be put in the "rules" when signing up that you must put 65 cents postage on it? Just a thought.
Marcialee, I am in the same boat as you are. I have mailed out some F8's but still have fabric to cut.

Also make sure you are posting your received packages in the correct thread
