Hey all you SoTTTs!!
If it helps you to have a visual of what you need to send Debbie, this post's for you!
Depending on how many HSTs you send, your package may be smaller and postage may be less.
(This bubble wrap mailer, purchased at my local PO, is holding 616 HSTs.)
Inside the mailer of your choice you need to send to Debbie:
**A self addressed, STAMPED return mailer, at least as large and the one you ship to Deb in. Put
your name and address as the return address so that if there is insufficient postage, it will come back to you. The PO box that Debbie is using will be closed so you don't want it going back there!
I'd like to suggest that rather than dropping your package into a mailbox, you take it to your local post office to post & mail. At that time you can talk with the postal clerk about what postage is needed for your return envelope.
PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR POST OFFICE FOR SUFFICIENT POSTAGE!
You will need to use stamps on this mailer. The metered postage is dated, so it can't be used for return mailing.
Include your TQS screen name and the total number of HSTs you are exchanging on the OUTSIDE of the return mailer.
**A plastic bag containing all your HSTs, clearly labeled with your TQS screen name and the total number of HSTs you are exchanging.
Please keep your total an increment of 28! Squeeze the air out of the plastic bag, but DO NOT ZIP IT CLOSED!
It will save time for the sorters if they don't have to unzip 615 bags!! :shock:
edited for Clara: All I want to add is if the international quilters want to zip their ziplox I'm fine with that. Especially since they have so far to go and you just never know how many hands touch their envelopes. Clara
**optional - HSTs for Australia, clearly labeled in a
separate baggie. (DO NOT COUNT THESE HSTs IN YOUR TOTAL!)
**optional - HSTs for Hanne-Grete, clearly labeled in a
separate baggie. (DO NOT COUNT THESE HSTs IN YOUR TOTAL!)

On the outside of your mailer to Debbie be sure to put your TQS Screen Name and total number of HSTs you are exchanging.

Following these guidelines will make things much easier for the sorting team to get the correct total back to you! THANK YOU!
