FUN ALERT!!! Shop Black Friday as @studerc says Mehrican Exchange Ver. 2.0 coming up

Kidsandliz shared some links said Thu, Nov 27th 2014 at 9:21am ET

For those of you who missed the fun the first time (like me) see the end of of this thread (mehrican Exchange Ver. 1.0)

https://meh.com/forum/topics/welcome-to-the-mehrican-exchange-ver--1-0

@studrec says he is going to set up exchange #2 once he is done with the semester… so this is the time to shop black friday, consider recycling meh fuku useless junk, unload your storage unit, declutter so you have room for more, poke air holes in boxes for those extra puppies you can't get rid of… I'd bet if you freeze the thanksgiving leftovers and didn't use smartpost you could even send leftovers...

- @capguncowboy Nail Clippings and Hair are ok. Digits are ok in small quantities. Limbs and organs are frowned upon due to USPS regulations. Spleens are the obvious exception.

I'd do it. I've got lots of papercraft stuff....and BOC stuff. And stuff I bought way too much of during woot offs because I was going to give it all away and never did.

Remember the talking phone speaker lips? Yeah, I've got 'em.

the mind races - seeing all the stuff in all the boxes

@kidsandliz Did your camera stuff make the move, or did that get left behind/sold?

- @heli0s Would you be embarassed to see pictures of the items from someone's box? If so, don't send it- otherwise, it's probably okay.

It would be super awesome if this could happen before Christmas, since that's when UPS and FedEx will be switching to dimensional based pricing which I have zero interest in paying for.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-06-17/ups-follows-fedex-in-basing-prices-on-size-not-weight.html

"Sterling estimated that the cost to ship a box of paper towels weighing three pounds and measuring 17 x 17 x 17 inches could jump to more than $20 from $8 under the new pricing rule."

- @Collin1000 I ordered a set of woodworking plans from Amazon. It would have fit in a Manila envelope but they sent it in a 12 x 18 x 6 box. I guess this will put an end to that.

Okay, I'm really starting to get excited about this. When my bestie told me about how she's dreading shopping and buying and shipping presents out this year, I told her we could just skip it so she wouldn't have to bother with mine.

Now I can concentrate on packing special, one of a kind things that I've made in bulk over the years (no fruitcake, though, I've never made fruitcake...) for some unsuspecting Mehers...

Gotta love those WTF moments in life, yanno?
