Sounds good, but if posting abroad enclose dollars for postage, as neither
Brit, German or anyone else accepts US stamps

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 usually use an Altoids tin. 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.

When you guys (and ladies) send flies into a fly swap, what do you usually
pack your flies in??? 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.
