Ooooh I'm probably too late for this, put me down for the next one please
I think now that I've done this once, I'm even more excited for the 2nd Round. I hesitate to buy any new cosmetics right now..the stuff i took out the last time, i loved so much, i use it almost exclusively
Wohooooo! Can't wait till it gets to me!
I already have some stuff set aside for the box and there might be more...Weee
^ That is great to hear, olive & katie! I can't wait to see what kind of goodies everyone gets!
On another note, I have heard from SwingingBee, and we are back on track - the box is on the way to RetroGIJane. So probably come Monday, GIJane will have *two* boxes to choose from and combine!
Oh YAY!!!
First of all, I'm glad that SwingingBee is well and nothing happened! Second of all... THAT'S AWESOME!
And thinking of it -- would it make sense to get a bigger Flatrate box? Or do they only have a certain size?*sratch head*

We've been using the Priority large flat rate, so the cost is the same for everyone ($15). It is the largest one the USPS offers. I guess RetroGIJane is going to have to: A. be greedy, B. leave some stuff out & hold onto it, C. learn to pack really, really well.
I may actually re-pack into a different box because I will be sending to a non-US country. I have been told at the post office that when items are in priority mail boxes, they are not eligible for all types of international shipping, and so putting in a non-priority box when it gets to me might save me (and the other int'l shippers!) a little money. (:

The rules may be different going from the U.S to Canada, but when I sent the last box back to the U.S., it was in the original box..i think the post office just ignored the fact that it was in the Priority box. I was also pleasantly suprised that they did not give me a hard time filling out the customs form.I have heard some crazy stories about how detailed the list of items needed to be. I admit i was pretty vague ..but it was pretty painless.
Oh my, beauty box Tetris - sounds fun!!
