-Each swapper will send one flat rate box (11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8") or the equivalent STUFFED with fabric (let's make the most out of that flate rate, people!  ).  Out of consideration for your partner, please make sure that all fabric is clean and usable.

Yay!
I so joined this!

Just a note I thought I would add.
If you pay + print your postage online (Priority Mail), Delivery Confirmation is free! And since you know you will be paying the flat rate, you don't have to take it to the post office!

[LouraPalmr]

I have pm'd areonberry, I have fabric overflowing out of my fabric closet. This is a perfect swap to join!!

I'm interested in this swap but have a question - I'm in Canada and I've never heard of flat rate boxes.  What I'm wondering is, how much is the US flat rate to send these boxes?  The price might give me an idea of what size I can send from Canada for a similar cost.

[lamamarco]

It cost $8.10.

[aeronberry]

The flat-rate boxes come in two sizes here,  11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8" and  11" X 8.5" X 5.5".  Something close in size would be fine for people in Canada or people who can't find the flat-rate boxes.
