I would be more than happy to go to K-mart which is having a buy one at
full price get second at 50%, and then pack up the boxes. I have several
(4 pretty close and another 4 a bit farther) K-marts by me. I have room
on a cc. I've got some boxes in the garage suitable for shipping
overseas. I've got a minivan to haul the load home. I have a few new
Duplo sets I can add to the box too. I can hit a few K-marts on Friday
and if needed the rest on Sat. pack 'em on Sunday and get to UPS on
Monday.

Let me know.

Ok, I've got the go ahead to start shopping. Any advice on the best/cheapest way to ship? I checked out ups & dhl, very expensive. The US postal service air mail is the cheapest I've found. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Julie (...) (27 years ago, 8-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
