With all the recent activity in here I thought the person I sent Box B to had received it.

No such luck Frown

I have Box A!

It was delivered to me this morning, and I'm currently wading through what's inside. The box is now *huge*: although I haven't counted it, I'd say that there's about 400 or so cards in here... however, transit has not been kind to many of them and there are damaged corners. So assuming that this is acceptable, I'm gonna repackage the box and it's contents before I send it on to it's next destination... Big Grin

[EDIT: Okay, it's repackaged and ready to go, in a shiny new box. Keep an eye out people, the box is continuing on it's way... Big Grin]

I did the same thing, I had to throw out a handful of cards when it arrived to me.

Have you ever unfolded a road map then couldn't fold it back up the same way again? Well, it was similar to that with box B. With the stuff I put in it, the oblong box had to go. Now everything's in a small square box, that says 'ball joint seals' on the side.
If you've got to repackage the box, just do it. It's what's inside that counts, right?

So does this mean that box B has surfaced again?

And where's the fun in that? Razz

All I'll say is that it didn't go "home" but over the hills and far away Wink

Well, if it never turns up at it's destination, there'll be no fun at all, hence why I asked. How long would you expect the box to take to get to where it's going?

What? You were serious?
I'm not telling anyone where I sent it. It defeats the purpose of the whole thing. But, then again I was only part of it because Batman probably sent it to me out of pity more than anything, knowing neither of them would never get here otherwise.

Unlike the rest of you in your tight-knit little world (UK to US) amazingly things take longer than a couple of days to get from this side of the planet to the other.

Only one person knows where I sent it, as I asked him for the persons address. If you really have to know, just to clarify that I did indeed send it (I'm sure that's the next question), go ahead and ask around.
