Already did, sometime yesterday or the day before. We are currently trying to figure out what to do, but seems that a second box is out of the question. Alot of people signed up because it was only $9.80 to ship, and then put junk in that you don't want, but two boxes would be double the price, and that would kind of be cheating others.

Maybe if youre willing and someone wants them you could offer the capacitors to people the box will travel to and if they want them you could pay half the shipping for them each or somthing. Then when they receive the box they could put some stuff in to replace the caps?

I do not quite get what you are saying, but i don't have enough money for much. I can send this original box out and perhaps another smaller box, but that is it. I was planning on everything working out right, so i only had the 10 bucks set aside. I have 14 dollars though..

Basically what im saying is that if one of the next people to get the box wants the capacitors then you could send them in a seperate smaller box with them paying half of the shipping, then when they received the big box they could put parts into it to replace the caps as normal. I dont know if you would have enough money though, I have no idea how much shipping in america is.

Why not make the box a large flat rate box instead and then see if it fits?

Still waiting for someone to confirm what i should do. I think i am just going to put the best small stuff i have in it, and send it off, as i have had it for too long.

That sounds like the way to go. All this second-box and out-of-band stuff just makes this way too complicated. The beauty of the single cheapo flat-rate box is in the simplicity. We're all lazy, right?

Cheers,

holidays are coming, so it might be best to get it on it's way and figure the other stuff out later... mail traffic is about to skyrocket more than it already has and we don't want the scare of thinking the box might be lost again now do we?

I am very sorry. I just need to get a new box because this one is ripping(iirc) and they didn't have one. So i must try again. Getting mad now.
