Filling the Official Box of Revenge of Dish Rag Tag.

The USPS’ Small Flat Rate Box (available for free at your local PO) ships anywhere in the US for $4.95. That price includes tracking if you use Click N Ship. It’ll cost you an extra $.75 if you ship from a store. Tracking isn’t optional.

The USPS’ Small Flat Rate Box (it has “Small Flat Rate Box” printed on it so you can be sure to pick up the right one) is about the size of an old-school VHS tape box. It can hold a finished dish cloth, a ball of cotton (you’ll have to smash it to get it in there), pattern, instructions and a small treat or two.

The USPS’ Small Flat Rate Box (like many things these days) is not made like it used to be. It’s pretty flimsy and might survive three consecutive team members, but probably not more than that. It would be a good idea to pick up a spare the next time you’re near the PO – your team’s box’s last stop might be to you. Accept no substitutes!

The USPS’ Small Flat Rate Box will keep shipping reasonable/predictable for the next team member. Priority Shipping is a requirement for the game so you may as well use a free box and everyone should have to work as hard as I did to get that yarn in there.
