Book Boxes
 

1) V and Neverending
2) Roshiq and The Villain (if he sees what happened and re-registers)
3) Ferret and Nightmare

Those are the ones that I remember seeing, before everything got wiped

I still have Roshiq's address because he sent it on Facebook...Anyone who is no longer confident in HDC's PM system can send their addresses on Facebook. If you are not on my list, you can send a message without adding me, if you have a Facebook account.

I was so excited about this yesterday...Losing so much of the Apocalypment is a real downer...I feel so bad for V...

You didn't write down my address?? :eek:

I'm sorry...It was my intention to write it on your box, then delete it...I checked in here today so that I could do that, and everything was gone :/

Do you have mine, or do I need to re-send it?

All gone, Babe...

Sending it again now, both here and on Facebook.

Thanks...I'm going to the post office as soon as Dustin gets home...About 2 and a half hours from now...I'm too impatient to wait until tomorrow, and besides I don't want to get caught up in traffic during the rapture...lol

btw, I replied to your other thread saying I didn't mind hardcovers. If the book's good and its a keepsake, hardcover will do just fine.

And you can send me mystery/thrillers too, no problem. I am an avid reader and like all sorts of stuff - particularly classic horror from Poe, Blackwood, M R James, Stoker etc. etc.

Sent via facebook. I'm happy with any book :)

Well, it looks like I will be forced to do one box a week despite my impatience...Finances take precedence :p

$120 to India?...Tell me THAT's not ridiculous!...Almost the same for Bangladesh and England...Sooo, I'm going to transfer all international packages to large flat rate boxes, which will only cost around $60 each for anything outside of the United States...I'm going to compare prices with UPS first, but I don't think they can do it any cheaper than that.

Also...It's not as easy as I thought it would be...I have to fill out customs forms (at least the forms are free :D)...I had no idea...lol...I guess I don't have to tell you guys that I have never sent packages to other countries before...Oh well, every new experience is a learning experience :)

Neverending, your package has been dropped off, and should be at your house sometime next week :cool:

Best news I've had in years! Thanks!

I was fearing as much.

For me it is close to about $180 (conversion from Indian Rupees) PLUS handling charges, which would be around $10 more, so a total of $190. Like I mentioned in the Package thread, it is close to a week's pay for me, and that's why I am hesitant till I get some sort of assurance from others.

Rayne, if it's too much of a hassle, drop me from your list. Send my box to someone else over there. $60 isn't exactly small either, it's a lot of good money. You gotta save everything you got for your wedding next year.

Maybe you could make your box smaller, V?

Any smaller and it wouldn't be a Package.

Right now I have planned - 3 DVDs, 5 VHSes, 3 books, 4-5 magazines, a couple Audio CDs and some smaller accessory-type stuff.

I could take out the Audio CDs and possibly 2-3 VHSes, maybe even a DVD, but that would make it very monotonous. The person receiving from me should get some variety in their choices too.

Wow, Rayne, that is one heck of a shipping cost! I'm with Avi, if you need to drop me off the list then that's cool. Don't put your purse on the line if you don't have to.

If anyone sends to me, I'll share the shipping costs. I'll even pay 75% if need be.

I had no idea shipping costs were so expensive honestly those amounts are daylight robbery. For that reason i'm not getting involved with any packages.

$60 is fine for us, it just means that I will have to do it the way I outlined it to begin with, rather than sending 4-6 boxes at a time...I suppose this will teach me to have some patience (by "teach" I mean 'force'...lol)...The cost to send the boxes inside the United States, is easy so adding that to the $60 will be okay, too.

@Avi and Ferret: When someone 'drops' someone from a list, they drop from the BOTTOM, not the TOP!...I am VERY excited about sending these to you guys and Roshiq!...Umm...Even if you don't find anything you like in the boxes :p...Really, I just wanna share something with you guys :)

In fact, I'm pretty sure that none of you will be able to play the DVDs because of the different regions :p...But, I still want you to have them

Oh, just to reiterate...Do NOT send these book boxes to anyone else...The book boxes from me are for you to KEEP!

I would feel too guilty making you pay extortionate shipping costs to the UK-if you didnt know the UK postal system is in tatters-plus postal workers are striking every five minutes. Be aware anything you send to the UK will be very risky

Rayne, if it's possible, I am willing to share shipping expenses with you, if you are sending a box to me.

See if you can try COD or something - I am ready to pay for it at my end.

I just walked in the front door and I'm headed out the back, but this computer is on my way through so I'm leaving a quick message:


Ferret and V, your packages have been sent and should arrive in about 2-3 weeks...Roshiq, I have to repackage yours into a flat-rate box and send it next Friday (Sorry Sweetheart)...V, your label is all squished and stupid now since I repackaged your stuff and had to retape the label, while Dustin held it down with both hands but he didn't move his hand fast enough when I was on top of it with the tape so anyway...It's bunchy :p

Next Friday I will send out Nightmare's box when I send Roshiq's

I have to go help the guys clean the pool now...Have fun, everyone :)

OH P.S. V, I got your "huzzah" text, but I didn't receive any after that one...I did send you a text back, though :)

Gah! You're too good. I think you sent them out just to make a statement about your generosity! :p Love you, Mama.

Can I come by, sit by the pool, and just READ with you guys? That sounds like heaven right now...

I couldn't resist pushing you and the book in...

I'd pull you in with me!!! But then I'd have a wet ferret in the pool... Ewww.

Wow this is real cool of you Rayne!

...but I better not add to my out of control pile of books I need to get round to reading.

That's why I didn't give her MY name. I have the Mt. Everest of books to read first! :D

This is why I've started reading ebooks saves on space and I don't need to wear glasses or contacts to read them

There should be an HDC package sending Hall of Fame with Rayne as the champ for sending numerous packages across the globe. Add to that list:

Despare (2 packages)
Newb
ChronoGrl
Roshiq

I believe that's everyone that sent a package successfully.

Technically, you could add me to that: I sent "Wicked" to nightmare_of_death.

I claim half of Rayne's credit due to proximity :D

Okay:) So we have:

Rayne/Dude Guadalupe - multiple packages
Hammerfan
Despare (2 HDC packages)
Newb
ChronoGrl
Nightmare Of Death
Roshiq

I don't know the history of who sent gifts to other people. I only know the HDC package history. Who else has generously sent a gift to someone on the HDC forum?

I sent each and every member a check for a million dollars.

Woo hoo, I can retire! Thanks neverending!

Well, you have to pay for it all, so you deserve it *muah*


By the end of this year, I will have sent at least SOMETHING to every member of this forum...Well, the ones who are okay with giving people their address on the internet :p


I'll think of something else to send you, Margiedoll :)

@Elvis: Just give me your address, Babe...I will think of something for you, too

Sweet. I'm in.


Don't have much to reciprocate with, though - Honestly, the surplus books I have are from my English Lit days... Not much horror to be found...

You probably didn't see the original post, so be warned...I am cleaning out my basement, throwing books in at random, you may not get anything you like, BUT ya never know :)

I have some books down there from the 70s...lol

Oh, and please DO NOT reciprocate...I'm trying to purge, not acquire...We do not want to pack and move all of this stuff when we get our new house (sometime next year)...I'm getting rid of as much as I can, and I just thought this would be a fun way to do it...Throw away the ones you don't want, keep what you do want (if anything)...If you find NOTHING that you want, at least keep one book, just because I sent it to you :)

That last paragraph is for everyone.

EDIT: I called the post office and there is no restriction for sending Cincinnati Recipe chili to other countries, so Elvis, I may introduce you to some very American fare...And Margie, I'm thinking about sharing my amazing apple tea with you :)

No problemo, honey. Take your time:)

Apple tea? Sounds yummy!
