Basically, I'm trying to speed things up because my biggest worry was having a lot of people respond, and then there's not enough for everyone and I have to start telling people "no", which would make me feel like a huge jerk. I'd rather get you first three taken care of and not having to let others down ;)
EDIT: Also just a heads-up to Jigsaw that after using a few online postage calculators, it looks like the average going rate to Sweden is somewhere around $30-$50. Maybe there's a trick to cutting the cost down - I honestly have never shipped anything overseas :-[
Doom:
I have never shipped anything overseas either... :-\ Hell, I barely ever ship anything to begin with. :-X
I didn't agree to be a middle man of any kind, I just said "I'd be sure to [ahem... attempt to] send them to other people as well," meaning I'm no good with that sort of thing but it's simple enough that maybe I could pull it off.
tiktektak, I put myself way the hell towards the bottom of the list because honestly, I haven't contributed as much to the project as Snowcone, Lumberjack42, wshbrngr, etc. I wouldn't mind not getting any. You're right. I could buy a case of 100, but I have 10 N64 games. 100 is a little bit overkill, which is why I wouldn't feel terrible sending some to other people if it's not too hard and if the cost of shipping is covered.
And shenske is welcome to get a few UGCs if he doesn't need much and shipping is covered. 8) Overseas sounds a little more tricky so I dunno about that.
Does anybody know if USPS offers delivery confirmation with envelopes? I know they do with packages, but I never heard one way or the other with envelopes.
Invoice Ninja:
OK! I've think I've got it!
I've got roughly 70 UGC's to work with...
Doom wound up only needing 10
Shenske didn't specify, but wanted "a few"
Jigsaw wanted "30 or so"
Tiktektak said he's good at the moment
How about this: what if I were to stop being lazy & cheap, and put together three packages. I could do like a 20-20-30 split, throw in the DVD cases for whoever wants them, and then just make sure the postage I paid is listed on the mailing labels along with my return address - and then everyone's content!
How's that sound to everyone? I've already got Doom's address, so I'd just need the other two. Also it seems I also have 5 DS/GBA cases if someone wants to call dibs on those too. As long as I get the info I need, I should be able to ship those off maybe Tuesday or so.
Also Doom - sorry, after you pointed it out I just noticed that we totally shoe-horned you into being the middle-man. You're right, I'll take care of splitting it myself. At least the postage for you and Shenske should be nice and cheap, so I'm not too worried. Sweden though... :o
shenske:
i'll be more than happy to take anything you have extra of.
UGCs, DVDs, DS cases, anything ;D
Doom:
I don't claim dibs on the DS cases since I'm getting a case of 30 soon and 5 wouldn't satisfy that. Thanks for giving back to the project Invoice Ninja!
