Hey guys! Just wanted to let everyone know that I received a notice in my mailbox today that the box is waiting for me to pick it up. I get home from work after the post office closes.

My wife will be picking it up tomorrow and I'll be doing my trades tomorrow night and will most likely be shipping the box back out on Friday.

We are scheduled to have our third daughter on Wednesday, but she could come at any time, so I will get it out of here as soon as possible.

Thanks,
John

Sound fine to everyone? It was fun getting a box full of cards that you haven't seen yet. I'd love to do another trade, but would want it with baseball only if I did. No offense to the other sport collectors, I just collect baseball only.

Thanks,
John

Hey guys!

Great news! My third 1/1 arrived last night. Natalie Elizabeth was born at 5:05 pm (est), standing 19.49 inches tall, weighing in at 5 lbs. 13 oz. I'll have more later, but I just put the kids to bed and wanted to let everyone know that the box was sent out yesterday ($17.50, OUCH!) Insurance #: VH 425 254 293 US

It was fun to do, but VERY expensive to ship. Thanks again to Paul for putting this on!

have fun with them while you can. they turn teen and don't want anything to do with you, lol.

my little granddaughter just turned 1 this past october, i'll call my daughter and she'll put the little one on the phone and she babbles pretty good, some words ya can understand, other's ya need the baby dictionary, lol

again, congrats, and hope baby and mom are both doin well!


why was that box $17.50 to mail??? it was priority, should have only cost $7.10 and insurance should have been $5.50. your post office was wrong i think.

Paul,

You're right, they grow up fast. I try not to waste any time.

The post office charged $11.95 (my father shipped it for me I was on my way to the hospital) and the insurance was $5.55 for $400 according to the insurance receipt. Maybe they charged him differently for shipping than everyone else was charged? The postage on top of the box when I got it was $11.96, but I don't know if that included the insurance or not. Maybe Eric (Lep1010) could share what is cost him, he sent the box to me. There is a VERY good chance that I messed up by not having my father ask for the right service. I don't normally ship boxes. If I did, someone please give me some advice so I don't make the same mistake again.

John

 

[mj23bullsfan]

ya, they should have charged him priority for the box, it's a flat rate no matter the weight of the box. and insurance was $5.55, i misread my reciept, lol. i was a nickle off.

i'll see if i can send you some cards or something to make you feel better about the mix up, ya?

paul

 

[lep1010]

I sent priority with $399 insurance ... congrats on the new addition!!!

Paul,

No need to send anything. I'm fine. Just wondering why it was so high. No big deal, just an oversight on my part. Thanks for letting me take part in the whole thing. It was fun.
