Hi all (Canadians especially),
So I'm the tenth recipient of my own Jambalaya and I'm thinking that
when I get it back, I'll send it to Canada.
What I would like:
Each Canadian follows the rules of the box as anyone else would, but
also drops a Looney into an envelope. The last Canadian who will be
sending it back to me will spend whatever amount each of you spends to
get it to one another from his own pocket and then takes the difference
out of the envelope. Assuming that there is money left I will keep it
as payback for the initial investment of getting it into your country.
Does this sound fair?
If you want to be one of the Canadian participants, reply to this note
and I'll put you in queue.
For me to send the box to another US address costs the same (Priority
Mail) regardless of distance. Is it the same for y'all or should I make
a point of routing it across the continent linearly to save you all postage?
