In all my years of packing boxes, it just always seems to be an inch too small this way or that way. I have seriously had some hate relationships with boxing some stuff up. I have a lot of boxes but it is always some item that would throw the whole thing out of wack of fitting in just so.

Im beginning to realize this. So what I do now is make/modify my boxes out of bigger boxes/big pieces of cardboard. A roll of Tuck Tape and presto any size box. :)

You should talk to Ann, Miss Jan, that woman can make the oddest things fit in those darn USPS boxes & ship. I only say that as she may have some pointers or tips & tricks. My (2?nd last box) had so-sooo much in it including long skewers, spiral skewers & a swing. Plus I cannot even attempt to re-do it. If I don't have to deal w/ breakables I always thought I did well w/ big items & small boxes. She puts even a friend of mine to shame, which I never thought possible after seeing a Zillion items go out to friends & family in the last 25 years for a zillion holidays.

This may be an odd ? And if it a secret it's ok. Do the vendors get a private board us, simple owners don't see. Not sure if I am breaking a rule asking or not tagging Sarah or Chris, I don't think I am but....
