How many are there Jim? Can I ship by media mail?

Also, how long has it been since he won the auction, as he COULD come back and ask for them and they'd be gone, then you could potemtially be in trouble.

No Doug, I've shipped empty reels many times on media mail.

I'm in such bad need for reels that i have had to "core" features of lesser importance, just to have reels for the more important films!

Jim , Ill send you a pm shortly, in the meantime, box up those little devils. try to find a box small enough to ship them in, as you don't really need much padding,. as reels travel well.

OSI AND Stephanie (who happens to be nibbling on my ear, GOTTA GO!)

hey guys, I work for the U.S.P.S. and posed this question today. The reels can't be sent via Media Rate with no "media" on them. You may be getting away with it, but it is NOT allowed. If the postal clerk ever decides to inspect what you're shipping (and they can) you'll be stopped. Just to let you know.... [Smile]

Jim, I would predfer media mail, which is quite affordable as well as highly reliable, AND holds the costs down as well. I'm at a public computr and can't send a PM to you at the moment, I've got a myiad of junk going on and I'll get it off toyou asap.

Note, please send me a PM so I'll know what your paypal address is for sending the payment.

All the best!

OSI
