    Probably next week. Where are you in the U.S. and what do you want to ship?

    Funny...I was thinking of posting the same thing...I have several items that I need to ship over but less than half a box worth. I'm shipping from the South though so Knowdafish in So Cal may be a better option. Where are your items coming from?

    I'm in Dgte. I'd be shipping from an online purchase so it doesn't matter where you guys are located in the US. I'd be shipping 12 bottles of Aloe Vera and some sunglasses-not trusting the local mail and all...that would be sent to your address in the US.

    The sunglasses may take a while to get if they're still available at all. Otherwise next week might be good depending on what day you're planning on shipping Knowdafish-UPS stuff can take 5 biz days sometimes.

    I'm good for a while on the Aloe I have. I'd just order it from drugstore.com and have it shipped to whomever I use along with the sunglasses. I've written and asked about the availability of the sunglasses and should know the timeline on that soon.

    This obviously isn't a critical need emergency... but you know how tough things are to get sometimes here. If someone's sending a box anyway why not have it work to both our benefits a little?

    Thanks

    :D

    Knodafish have you used Star Kargo yet? They plan on moving east and south from California but they will be new to the game and if anyone has any input on them I would appreciate it.

    Nope. Never heard of them. I received ALL my crates and boxes, that I shipped from the U.S., (9 crates and 6 boxes) safe and sound though using Pinoy Express Cargo (PX Cargo). They are a little slow, but I was more concerned with receiving them with no damage and no theft rather than speed. They also gave me a good deal!
