Maybe there is a way to work this for our International pals without breaking the bank. I'll start researching. I'm in the process of shipping some thing internationally this year for the first time (and tracking some things down). This poses an interesting point since I've really only shipped overseas to APO and FPO addresses (US military).
I'll add it to my list. I'm going to start phoning a few people.

Just in case my SP has sent my package and has delivery confirmation I want her to know that all the packages have went out so early this time and I thought I would be in Texas before it would have been sent here to home. So if you have the confirmation that it was recieved I will not be there until November first but the gals in the office will hold it until I get there and I will let you know as soon as we are set up. Sorry if I am causing some one to worry about wether I have got it or not. The Texas town is Alamo.

Unfortunately International has no way of tracking without it costing a fortune. Since I in no way want to paint myself as the postal authority, I will no longer comment on it.
Just to let people know, I'm in no way stressed doing this swap. I LOVE doing it but some things have to change, no choice in the matter. I'm not out to hurt feelings or humiliate or make people think less of themselves or me. Look at the Secret Santa Swap, the rules there are very strict and I will abide by them if I want to join in.
Anyway, keep your messages coming about who wants to join in on the November swap.

Ok I have to pick my jaw up off the floor. I first called UPS and they said for the same size envelope I've been sending it would be around $20 to ship I thought that was expensive until I called purolator and found out it would cost $58 to ship. Insane eh. Maybe if I go over to the states which I do often I can mail my package from there and get the confirmation number. I just really enjoy doing this swap and still want to be part of it.
