    I'm trying to decide. US postage goes up again tomorrow, so will wait and see how much. I love this swap but the high postage rates dampen my enthusiasm.

    Belfrybat, use the flat rate bubble wrap envelope from the Post Office (free) and shipping will be $7.55 if you buy it online. Then you can print the label straight out. You have to order the envelopes online but they are free. Here is the link: https://store.usps.com/store/product...elope-P_EP14PE

    I want to thank everyone who volunteers to ship international. I know it can be expensive, but love to include everyone. Thank you!

    Those are stinking cute! Very nicely done and I love your pick of colors too. I would love to work on those but seem to not get to it.

    As someone international I echo this! I love taking part as we don't have anything like this in the UK and the range of things you get in US is amazing! However because. I know it can be pricey and I want to ‘spread the burden’ I only sign up every few months.

    For those who do agree to do international is there anything in particular you would like us to source and send that is not so easy to get in US?

    Many thanks but I use the padded flat rate envelopes -- always have. But the postage is now up to $8.00. When I first started this swap 5 years it cost less than $6.00 to mail. I'll sit this one out and decided next month.
