Member @gorgo2 has asked to be dropped from The List. Being an upstanding and respected member of TSD he does have the option to rejoin should there be a second pass around.

Looks like the box delivered today! Enjoy it @BamaT !!

Enlighten me gentlemen. I assume that if you remove something you replace it with something of equal value, am I correct in this assumption?

I tried to be equal although I don’t know what everything was worth. And a lot of things are partial in both what I took and that I added. I just tried to match to the best of my knowledge.

I put things in that I felt was worth what I took out and that my bring others Joy. In terms of monitory value I have no clue and don't care to.

PS..
In the end it all comes down to physical volume.

I'd say you hit the nail on the head .... equal value does not mean equal cost. I value brushes, blades and aftershave more than most razors or soaps; that said, others differ in their views of what holds a greater value. I'd stick with the idea of what was brought up in the beginning of the pass around; no junk, but restorable items are welcome.

Excellent answer.

As is @Enrico answer.

The fun thing about the box is sometimes you can put something in that has a high value to others but maybe you picked it up inexpensively.

For example, if I've already got three FatBoys in excellent condition and I find a very nice one for five bucks at a flea market then I can drop it in the box and let someone else enjoy one without either of us having to drop fifty or sixty bucks.

Or here's another example. Let's say someone (who shall remain unnamed) has more than 50 Old Spice shave mugs and his wife asks him why he just bought another one. That person could say, "Hey, it was only $4 so I couldn't pass it up, plus I plan to give it away".

Let me ask another question. I can only make it to the P.O. on Saturday because of my work schedule. Would that be an issue. And I assume there are alcohol based aftershaves, so I assume you have to Inform the Postal Clerk about this? I've never mailed that out before.

No one would induce you to consider committing a crime that involves shipping possibly flammable substances via official government transport.
As a safety concern, I'd suggest screwing the caps down tight, sealing the bottles with a good wrap of tape, and placing them in multiple ziplock type bags. That way if you do accidentally ship an alcohol based product it won't leak beyond the multiple layers of securing protection and cause a a hazardous situation.

I'm not a lawyer, so here's some official info culled from the USPS website (HERE),
343.27 Authorization to Mail Ethanol-Based Flammable Liquids or Solids
Subsection B
For content containing not more than 70% ethyl alcohol by volume, tender only parcels weighing 25 pounds or less. Each non-glass primary receptacle must not exceed 16 ounces of flammable liquid or 1 pound of solids. Each glass primary receptacle must not exceed 8 ounces of flammable liquid or 1/2 pound of solids. Total volume of flammable material per mailpiece must not exceed 96 ounces for flammable liquids or 16 pounds for flammable solids.
Subsection D
Enter parcels using Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, First-Class Mail, or First-Class Package Service.

I can’t imagine who that would be

I believe the saying is:
let your widow not sell your stuff for what you said you paid for it.

If she did sell it for what you told her you paid for it, that's Kismet. Those items rejoined the Shave Community for the value she was told they possessed.

This story (link) is more about Karma.

I think I know that mug, and it has a forever home!



Thank you!

Hopefully some one will do a calculation of how many lifetimes of soaps and blades I had.

From my experiences, if any items are liquid, flammable or perishable you just notify the clerk and they’ll ship it ground. It might take a day longer.

Update; member @gorgo2 is back in!
