A friend of mine brought me a box from the post office that may just fit everything on your list and regardless of the weight, it's only $7...

Don't have it handy...but about 8" deep, 10" wide, and 12" long??

Lemme get back with you on this...she works there and that's what she came up with. I asked about them "helping"...but her reply was something to the effect that even the Prez doesn't get free shipping...so that pretty much left me out.

Don't panic yet...I'll let you know Monday...

:putting on Cliff Claven hat: That would be the Priority box, which I would say is approx the size of a large shoe box (or boot box even.)

Just a thought for anyone who hasn't shipped yet...

The Coconut Telegraph - I got a new one yesterday.

Are you one who reads it and throws it away?
Are you one who gets more than one copy?
Are you one who normally collects them, but would part with it?

If you answer yes to any of the above, why not send it to BuffettFest?

Actually, me too. If you're needing either blank cd's or cd cases, let me know. I can certainly supply those to you.
