I'll answer for James......Yes!

If we use paypal I think we should add the surcharge to our payment amount so James doesn't get stuck with a bill. I'm not 100% sure but I believe paypal charges it only on credit card payments, if you pay via your checking account I don't think they charge James for it. But paying via your checking account takes something like 5 days to clear vs credit card is immmediate.

Personally, I would prefer to cash 200 checks than have to try to match payment with package. We did paypal on the last one - and it was okay, but this trade is quite a bit bigger. Perhaps even twice as big...

Let's do check or cash.

[masterswimmer]

Sorry James, my bad. Just going with what I/we did last time.

Russ

PS - Echecks through paypal also incur a charge to the receiver.

[srit1]

seems to me cash is the easiest - 4 1 dollar bills mailed along in the envelope... (ill donate the 15 cents to the *cause*)

[essop3]

I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for in order to best package this. Does anyone have some pics they could post of the best/cheapest way to send the sand?

[needyreefer]

im in (all I have to do is put it in the package with $4 right?

[AJP]

Fixed.

[jhunko]

Also, were I work I we have tons of boxes that will work better then that VCR style box. Could I just use one of those, I just think it will be easier to cram in the envelope. Funny how the little things make us think.

[Jamesurq]

sure. Whatever works for you.

Heck - the only thing I'm worried about for anyone is leaking. If it leaks - it will probably not make it in the trade. Do whatever you can to avoid the leak - if that means wrapping it in 10 bags - so be it.

On the way out - it will be done with the method I put forth - on the way in, it's really up to all of you to do the best you can.

[SugarShiki]

Well that bites for me...I don't believe I've been a member 90 days...Waaaahhh!!!!

[kewliz]

I would LOVE to participate in this. I only have crushed coral for my bed at the moment, but am getting a new (and bigger) tank, and will probably be switching to sand. I'd love to send 4 cups (2 portions)

Also, I haven't been on this board for 90 days, but I have been here:

http://tropicalfish.site5.com/tfc/index.php

for almost a year, under the same user name. I didn't find out about this site until more recently. I hope this doesn't keep me from participating. Please let me know. I have been hoping to get in on something like this for a while.
Thanks,
Laura

Also- does anyone know why my Post count is only at one? It hasn't counted any of my other posts. :-(

[kewliz]

Oh- Thought I'd add- if I haven't been here long enough to be approved, then I'd like to purchase 2 portions from you when it's all over - just let me know the price. I'll keep my eye out for your reply- looks like this thread will keep you busy.
