The way I'm gonna ship mine is this (My wife's idea LOL), probably not a new idea, but here goes.. i bought a little plastic craft plano type box at Wal Mart for about $1.29, that has six sections I think.... Put five flies in each section... Put that plastic box in a cardboard box, addressed and post paid to ME, then, wrap that box in craft paper, post paid to the Swap Meister, so then he tears off the craft paper wrapper.. Opens the box addressed back to me, then send the flies back to me from the swap.... Chuck

I then purchase a box at the post office for about 1$, which is square and about an inch thick. The Altoid box will fit inside. Tape it closed. Before I close it, I will include return postage, and return addresses already filled out, ready to peel, and put on the box for the return trip.

And then, to get the flies send back to you, do you pack a box, or big padded envelope, etc., inside another one for the return????? Thanks in advance, Chuck Normally I send mine in either a Altoids tin, or a plastic culture dish. I got lucky and a friend sent me a boxfull of these. They are great for sorting flies in. Also, I try to always send a padded envelope and some cash to cover postage. Del
