[fishnjeeps]

Fishnjeeps mini received with bonus basing materials!  wooot.. about to go buy ballet shoes for the youngest grand daughter.. will post pics later..  its awesome..

 

Glad you like it! Hopefully you can find a good use for the basing materials...

 

I've already contacted my partner. But damnit, I wish post offices did not close at 5:00. I missed the post office twice in a row. >:(

I had the same issue, I went to 3 different post offices and finally found one open until 6.

Pro Tip Shipping:

 

As far as shipping goes for us here in the US, you can go to the post office that has those self-service postage machines (usually open 24/7 for people to access and to access their PO Boxes inside), also get the free flat rate boxes and ship at any time of day or night, just takes a credit or debit card to do so.

 

I also grab extra boxes (as they are free to take) and will go online to the USPS.com website with my debit or credit card, print my own labels (save $.40-$.90 doing this) and set the drop-off date to a post office for a day or two down the line (when I know I'll be able to swing by the post office and drop in their over-sized letters/boxes bin). The flat rate shipping comes with tracking and $50 of insurance already and is around $5.25 this way rather than the standard $5.80. Can stuff as much into these boxes as you want, weight doesn't matter at all.

It does over 75 lbs. But if you can fit 75lbs of stuff in a small box then I will gladly pay the difference in cost...

Yeah really, but you know what I mean, you'll get what... like 20 lbs at most in something that small and it'd have to be solid lead or something lol

We came under the 5 dollar price though for our shipment, but then we also did just the minis due to budget constraints

*waits patiently*

Dragons are very patient.

I mainly like doing it online for shipping and preparing it all at home for convenience and to get that insurance/tracking already attached to the package. If I know the person's email, I'll also include that in the tracking information so they know when it's been shipped and when it's been delivered. 

[Flamehawke]

That seems quite reasonable. I might do it next time as it is fairly easy to gauge costs then.

Oh and it usually gets to people within 3 business days from anywhere in the country. Nice quick shipping.
