    The box is on the road postal tracking #9505 5110 1862 7074 0839 70. Expected delivery date Friday, 17 March. It weighed in at nearly 15lbs, and it was bugling at the seams.

    Wow - 15 pounds!! It was not quite 11 pounds the last time I remember someone mentioning a weight. That's incredible! Thanks again, Brad.

    Good luck with that! On it's way to me it diverted to two wrong cities. I finally got the postal service to hold it still so I could pick it up myself.

    I honestly don't know how I'm going to get all this back in the box

    Absolutely keep it the full week!!

    Take some things you like and replace, perhaps with a smaller container!

    There were many small hard containers. I sniffed, but didn't take samples as there was only enough for a shave or two. Might be time to enjoy those to reduce the volume of air in The Box. Near full tubs can be moved to ziplock bags to loose the air space captured in the hard containers. Amazing that it's gained another four pounds!

    I moved anything that had approximately 50% airspace from the tub into a baggie when I had the box, including the Dapper Dragon I put in, which came that way. And the box was full when it left me! If we keep going like this, we're going to have to petition USPS to make a bigger flat rate box!

    Yep... it's crazy... I can't imaging how much money this thing is going to save me in the long run. Already helping me know I hate bay rum

    No to get too nerdy about it but the large flat rate box and the board game flat rate box are the same price to ship via USPS and the board game box is ~832 in^3 (vs792 for the large box). I'm going to need that extra room to jam some stuff in before I send to PLAla.

    I thought so, too. It's the cloves I don't like. Every maker has their angle and some use less. I did get a sample of Crowne & Crane Port Royal because I hadn't yet tried their offering. Rather than look at my list when I try samples, I'm re-sniffing and choosing. A blind nose test to see if I like the scent rather than being biased by knowing the manufacturer.
