I could easily put one together...ow big was the last one? Give me an idea of what one is willing to pay for shipping.....i have a bunch of good stuff but some is heavy.
Were they using a flat rate box via USPS or what? I could even start two boxes....
Give me some ideas here on size and weight.

At the beginning of the thread it was a flat rate box, around $10, but you'd probably have to call and see what it would cost for the size you have.

I'd love to get in on this too, I think it's a great idea. I've got a few tidbits laying around that might be cool to add, and going through surprise boxes is fun, kinda like storage wars ;)

We used the largest of the USPS bulk rate boxes. I believe they ship for around $16. They are big enough to hold a whole bunch of stuff. With weight not being an issue, it is perfect for this. I know the boxes got held up at some stops and caused some frustration down the line. I don't know what happened to the original boxes, but I wonder if they got watered down to the point that they were really junk. When I had them pass by me they were well stocked and a fun motivator for projects.

Ok then, i will start the box...i have some pretty decent things and lots of stuff I will never use. I will swing by the PO this week and pick up a box. Probably wont have the time to really go through all my stores until the weekend. Just to see how it changes over time I would like to be placed around number ten to receive it back if that is Kosher. Whoever is first just PM me your paypal email address and I will send a payment request when it is ready to go.

If somebody here would be responsible for setting up the list that would be great.

This should be fun!

That make sense, i was thinking the person receiving the box paid shipping. It makes for a much cleaner process to have the person last received the box pay to have it shipped to the next guy...i didnt understand till now.

Ok then, all i need is a shipping address for the first person.

I started to dig through stuff last night....got some pretty neat things for the first person....
