Secret Santa 2016

[stevo1962]

From the crowd I saw at my PO the other day I imagine that AP is starting to feel the Xmas rush and some things are slipping through the cracks.
I hope so anyway because it will be bloody embarrassing if my recipient has to pay the extra postage because of my stuff up, Or worse they send it back so I have to do it all over again and it gets there too late for Christmas .
What's the "Go" with sending something in a pre paid bag that is a bit overweight ?

A little bit overweight is ok so I've been told but dont make a habit of it

FNQ
go anywhere interesting?

Yes..went to cape tribulation, daintree forest, Port Douglas, Mossman etc..good trip.. I will post some photos when I get a chance...

Great places to visit and just before the weather starts to heat up as well

I doubt it would get picked up. I had about 2kg turn up one day in a 500g bag with no consequences for me. Don't know about the seller. Perhaps some of it is just luck. I wouldn't worry.

You are most probably right, Anyway 99.99% of the time these pre paid packages are well under the weight limits So the odd overweight one wouldn't matter that much anyway hopefully.
I should find out either way in about a week anyway:angel:
If this was something that I had sold on eBay I would most likely have just issued the buyer a refund because of my stuff up But as this is a gift my hands are tied and I just have to hope that the package arrives without any dramas.

Two deliveries today from the ACT. One from the mint and one from Santa!
Will leave the Santa one until Christmas.

Good Lord! I mailed a padded envelope in the U S to my Secret Santa in Australia.....$13.75 U S / $18.25 Aussie. If I mailed it to a U S address, it would have cost around $2.30 U S. WOW!

much the same for us Goose
probably one or two dollars locally and then 9 times that for international

I mailed my SS package to the US and it cost me $41.15

[JeffH]

That is a substantial amount Jim. What was the weight of that package?

[trout]

Between 500g and 1kg

[JeffH]

Sorry, My suggestion won't work if over 500g.
