...cost over £10!!

I was going to try to fit it into a smaller box but I couldn't be bothered in the end hahaha

The box arrived today! I am now in the process of making some tough decisions...


Historyenne, your mission is to get back down to a small box if possible! We want to have fun with this game, not break the bank!   ;D

When it got to me it was bursting at the seams in one box.  My husband (who Knows Postage) decided after I put in more volume than I took out, to forward it in two boxes that are of dimensions to ship for cheap... he said the pair of them went to Rick Stephens for about £5, total (whereas, one larger box would've cost £11)... plus, two separate boxes gave us a much higher weight allowance.  If it was reverted back to one box, maybe that's why it's so pricy to ship now?

Now that the poop bowl and the body wash have been selected, a smaller box might be possible again...?  I don't know what the people after me put in, but those were two of the larger items after it left my house.  :)

yeah i think i probably could've done it cheaper (using a courier to start) but I was feeling so crap and just gave it to the 18 year old to post haha. I don't know how she did it (think she did it with a quicker postage time for starters), but it ended up probably a lot higher than it should've been!
My, how time flies....

How's the decision-making going?  I hope your struggle is with deciding between too many awesome things.

Aww!  I hope you didn't really feel pressured!  You know you were never going to break the record for having it the longest.  And most of us (me!) are more interested in seeing the selections than in how long the holder has the parcel.

It was self inflicted pressure haha I was like "I need to get this out to not disappoint the others!....I'll sort it tomorrow..." LOL

That was me with literally every assignment, especially group assignments.  "I need to do this... I'll start it tomorrow..."
