NATIONWIDE BOX III LAST TOUR FOR 2013

The Take




The Give

 

The flat rate boxes don't say flat rate on every side, but I saw a USPS announcement from 2008 introducing the large flat rate box as 12 x 12 x 5 1/2. The box on the right can't be a flat rate box.

 

I got the box today! But, I have a dilemma. I cant fit my gives in the box . I may have to thin it out. I will have pics once I figure this out.

 

Wow the box has moved very quickly in this run, thanks everyone for moving it along. After Frank C are the last two stops. Then back to Arkansas for a much needed rest, before heading out next year.

 

What's the latest news on the Bawx?

 

I'm sorry to say the box has been sick with the flu. I will make sure he gets out of bed today and starts traveling again.

 

Thanks for the update. Hope you are feeling better soon Frank C.

 

Received the bawx today and I took the following:
Black Beauty
Knack
Clubman
Lilac Vegetal
English Leather
Mentholated AV Musk
Pierre Cardin EDT
Soap that smells like Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. I really don't care about the soap, I just like that nifty porcelain lined green bowl with a snap on lid. It'll make a great bowl for my grated Williams Mug Soap.

I added the following:
Cadet Robusto, which is brand new
100 Voskod blades
100 Shark blades
Master's Lord and Master After Shave

There was a few bags with soaps and creams that burst and I removed them, since I can't see anyone wanting those, so I pitched them. Will get in touch with Jeff tonight and see about meeting up with him this weekend to hand the box over to him.

 

Merry Christmas to you guys. A big thank you for making the Nationwide Box Tour, such a success, without you guys being both dedicated and president in moving the box along. The box made three round trips coast to coast, through, the mid -section, down through the south, up both seaboards. The box experienced a few miscues but was a great success. I have fun organizing it and watching travel.

Once the box has a little rest we will start all over next year.

 

The soap was one that I made. Eucalyptus/mint. My kids said the same thing, smells like gum. If u descide I try it let me know what you think.

 

I'll definitely try it out.

 

I have the box now. Met with Keith Williams Warrior. I took a couple of packs of sharks. Will be adding assorted soaps I will list later. Will mail box back to Brad Fish Crow on Monday.

 

The take:



The give:



Headed to AR tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

 

I'm looking forward to the Nationwide Box Tour for 2014, further details shortly. The goal will be to squeeze in 4 tours for the box. Any suggests for improvements or fresh ideas let me know.

Again THANK YOU y'all for a great and successful Nationwide Box Tour. It has been fun working with everyone.

 

only suggestion I have and I think some people went ahead and took it upon themselves to do so, is weed out some of the older stuff or broken/ spilt items.

 

Tracking number 9114901159815407446487

 

+1 on this. I always try to weed it out a little, but so much unidentified/broken/older stuff remains. This may sound silly, but what about an open call for one donation from each participant prior to starting the next tour? Kind of like an up-front ante? That'd get some fresh stuff in the box, without putting the pressure on Brad to do it.

 

One recommendation that I'd like to make is on labeling stuff. If it's a shave cream in a tube or tub, its already taken of. There was an awful lot of old crusty and smashed soaps that had no labeling of what they were, or when they were put in the box. I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to use them.
