Yes, it does, Rick. My mailer was too small so I eliminated Flats, but I didn't notice this key statement: Large envelopes exceed at least one of the minimum dimensions. In other words, those are not really minimums. "Small and fat" is also "Large envelope."

The more I think I learn about Postal regs, the less I actually know, it seems. And UPS is even worse!

Right. They are thresholds, and when you cross one, you are a "flat", and only the maximums matter then.

Detroitgirl - maybe she just resents women who are more attractive than her. That's my take. Rick

Heather - The package you picked up with the green sticker may have been mine. My PO insists that I have to fill out a customs form. It's easier to comply than argue. No issue about sending seeds.

THIS SWAP IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW PARTICIPANTS.

We have 128 participating in this swap.

CRAP, CLOSED!

In the immortal words of Maxwell Smart...

I missed it by that much.

Seriously Heather, thank you for holding another Exchange. You're a busy lady and it's a lot of work. You're really banking up some good karma in your pepper and tomato accounts ;-)

Bill

C'mon Bill, you're not new. And you're in the same country! Send some exotic seeds so I can get them.

Or was that just an excuse for a Get Smart reference?

[99 is still hot!]

Thanks Bill. Cute picture !!!

Hey folks...now that we've closed this swap to new participants, I'm getting ready to post a bonus offer. You gotta be quick...so keep your eyes posted on this forum :)

BONUS OFFER TO THE PARTICIPANTS OF THIS EXCHANGE

Hi everyone,

Now that we're no longer accepting new signups, it's time to offer up some miscellaneous veggie seeds as bonuses. If interested, please post or message me with your TOP 15 CHOICES IN ORDER OF PRIORITY. Please do not message me saying "I'll take whatever you can share". Those types of requests go to the bottom of the pile, and you will likely lose out if you don't respond with your specific wish list on these items, as requested.

Requests are being filled on a first come first serve basis (I go by time stamps on postings and email). All of these seeds are being offered up only to the participants of this swap, including swap participants from other forums. There is no guarantee that you will get any, but if you are quick, and give me a long list to pick from, I'm sure you'll see some nice surprises in your envelope. I am not posting who will receive what from this bonus offer. You will get the surprises in your envelope. Some of the seeds are in very limited quantity, so if you are too late for one seed type, I can work my way down the rest of your list.

I will post a periodic update to indicate what's still available, but I do work full time, so my updates will be delayed, thus the reason I'm asking you to provide me with your top 15 choices.

I will reply to you to confirm receipt of your request the same day. If you do not hear back from me, I did not get your request. To make sure your request goes through, be sure to click on my actual email address in my gardenweb profile, and don't send a message via the gardenweb message system. It is unreliable.

Thank you to all of the generous participants who sent in these bonus veggie seeds to share with you. Your generosity makes this swap so much fun.

So, after that long preamble...here's the list:

Wow! What a great response I've had to the bonus seeds so far. It's going to take me quite some time to sort through the requests..so won't be in a position to post updates until I've done that.

Meanwhile, please continue to contact me with your top 15 from the wish list in order of priority. The more you give me, the higher the likelihood you'll get a few things you want.

Have noted preferences for everyone that's posted so far. I've also sent email acknowledgements for those that contacted me directly. If you haven't heard from me, I haven't received your email.

Keep those wishes coming!!!!

Thanks...Heather

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the great response. I have a ton of messages with wish lists to sort through on this, but have updated a couple of items I know for sure are out, based on the volume of responses I've put in my database so far. There may be others that I'm out of once I sort through all the lists, but that's why I'm asking you to give me a long wish list.

On another note - I screwed up, and forgot to enter 4 bonus seed types earlier (3 cucumbers and 1 zucchini). I have modified the list and put an * in front of the new additions.

If you'd like to swap anything on your original wish list for any of these new items, please let me know asap. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks.....Heather

I need your help finding the owner of a mystery envelope I received today. The member name was not written on the note inside (as per instructions), so I have no way of knowing who these belong to.
I have 18 people with the same first initial participating in this swap.

If your initials are G.M. and you live in Hillsboro, MO, can you please contact me as quickly as possible.

Thank you

Found my mystery person. Thanks again.

Found my mystery person. Thanks again

Today I received seeds from "fanatic79". Thanks...Heather

Today I received seeds from:

Thanks....Heather

There are a few members in this forum, who signed up for the swap and have still not answered any followup emails/messages from me which requested an update. It is a massive task to keep track of everyone in this swap, and I didn't think I was asking too much to let me know if you've changed your minds and no longer want to participate - or to take a quick second to let me know your seeds are in the mail.

I will not mention any names, but this is to notify those individuals, that I have no choice but to assume you are no longer in this swap. If your envelope arrives without any communication from you, it will be sent back "return to sender". I just wish you could have taken a second to send me a message....it would have saved me a great deal of time with followup. IF YOU HAVEN'T MAILED YOUR SEEDS, IT'S TOO LATE NOW...DON'T SEND THEM.

Thanks to everyone who took a moment to keep me up to date by posting updates or sending me an email. Your communication makes this job of coordinating the swap, so much smoother. Thanks again.

This is the last post allowed on this thread. The thread continues here.
