I can help. Where to we send the stuff to?

Thanks again everyone

I forgot to add info on shipping (for those who have not shipped here before

)

The cheapest way is via the USPS as they do not class the USVI's as "International" like UPS, DHL and Fed Ex do thus it is cheaper.

You can get a Flat Rate Priority Box for about $9.00 (I think) and that will be the cost regardless of weight - this is an excellent option if you are sending heavy items, or you can send them via First Class (as there is no deadline like the Christmas Toy Drive) or Priority should you want to have it arrive faster

Thanks again

Pia, do you want us to send it directly to the school or to you?

Cheers, RickG

Hi Mike - no I did not sorry, but no worries, underneath my name (on this post) there is a little button with PM on it just click that and it will take you to the Private Message page where you can send it again - just make sure you put a subject in the "subject line" or it won't go through

Thanks

Pia - Three questions:

1. Colored folders - like pocket folders? Or the kind with 3 brads to hold papers?

2. Small theme books - like those little bounds ones with the black & white covers?

3. Manilla paper - I know what a manilla folder is, but I'm not sure what manilla paper is.

I don't mean to be anal, but I want to be sure I understand.

Thanks!

Hi CG

OK, I don't know either

so if it was me I'd pick something else

Seriously, I can find out on Monday when school is back in if that's OK

Oh, I forgot to ask if everyone who is sending packages put their forum name in/on the box that way I can let you know when they arrive (I have a hard time remembering "real" names

)

Thanks guy's

You're right Pia. It doesn't matter... I'm waaay too retentive sometimes! LOL! Please don't go to any extra trouble!

Hmmm. What a great opportunity to clear out my samples.

So the question becomes do they mind if there are imprints on the item.

I have 1000 golf pencils, number 2 that were misprinted by the supplier. They don't want them back, and I certainly don't need them.

I also have many sample ball point pens of every type that I would like to clean out also.

Let me know.
