Dunno, I think last week they were charging for it. Looks like it's happening now too. Some other girl—not sure who—warned everyone about this on the sales thread 😉
Whatever, if it's actually for charity, I don't care about that extra $1.70. I was shipping three boxes that day anyway 🙂
Drew Walker6 said:My mom mentioned there’s some extra charge on stamps (not sure when) for the Red Cross or something... So shipping would end up being double... anyone actually know what's going on? Or is it just my local Post Office... I know they did something similar back in December...
It's not true that it's double... you pay $14.40 for postage plus $1.70 for that little stamp (all proceeds go to charity). And it's mandatory not optional. At my local branch, they have this "notice" posted that explains exactly why and who the campaign is for 😉

😕 Hell no. Who do you think is gonna do your job for you? 😬 Pack it yourself. If the box looks messy or colorful, wrap it in plain white paper first. Just write the recipient's info and your own return address clearly on the box. And make sure you use plenty of tape—check those edges to ensure they're sealed tight. 😉
Sending a certified letter isn't the same as shipping a package. How exactly did you tell her? Certified mail costs more, I think $8.25. Packages follow that rule where up to 5lbs is $5.00 . Maybe she thought you meant to send it as certified mail? That’s why whenever I’m filling out those forms at the UPS Store, I always circle "package." That way, if she "accidentally" messes up, I can shove the receipt right in her face 😬 . (Once my boyfriend sent a package for me and told her it was a certified package, but she charged him for a letter instead, and it ended up being $3.25 more. And she wouldn't even peel the sticker off. Whatever. Ever since then, I just circle "package" ☕)
Just take the train. Not sure what the bus costs, but a round trip on the Amtrak $12 without a student discount is only about $6.75 bucks. Check the schedule on http://www.amtrak.com/ and figure it out yourself..
Ugh, question for the girls who skipped their 7-day break!
Nah, in a clear box, right? Like, last week I missed two pills... just totally blanked on them because I was stressed out and everything. She ate them and then it hit me. Not sure if it was less than 12 hours or more. Decided to skip the break / like Yasmina says in the instructions if I forget my pill on day 3 / and started the second pack. It says there might be some minor bleeding here. Anyone else ever deal with that? Has anyone ever actually gotten their period right in the middle of a second pack without a break?
Aside from this past weekend, I haven't missed any other hits. Already six days into this next round. feeling weird. Everything’s been sounding way too sweet and warm lately, like I'm being played before the big reveal. Getting a little paranoid. 😲 🙂 🙂
If anyone else dealt with that "skipped" break situation, please share. 😢
uh, got a question too.. what's a good (and easy) way to cut out some background clutter from a photo? just nothing like Adobe Photoshop, that stuff is way too much for me 🤣
Quick question: I’ve got something small to send, and I'm wondering if the box can be tiny? Or are there specific size requirements if I want to ship it as something high-value?
Basically, can I just toss this in a standard envelope and send it as a registered letter? And will that cost more, or does the USPS still charge based on that 5lb limit?$5.00
Yeah, it probably depends on where you are. My boyfriend picked up my package without even showing his ID—he just used mine... actually, he had his driver's license, and honestly, I'm not even sure if she checked for my ID at all. 🤷
ugh, freaking annoyed. just realized I actually started my Yamin on day seven this month instead of day eight 🙄 No clue how I missed that. Just caught it because I noticed my last pill is tomorrow, but it was supposed to be tomorrow night. Did I seriously screw up big time? 🙂
