Hey guys sorry about the lack of communication. It’s been a long whirlwind of a week/weekend. My grandma died last Monday. We drove to Chicago for her wake and funeral and now we are back. I’ll be looking forward to digging into this box.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. Take your time!

I’m sorry for your lost. Take your time, there is no rush.

Quick question. Are you guys ok with me removing the tins?

Absolutely. I see no problem with that.

I thought about it, but I didn’t have bags big enough for the tea. Thanks SkySamurai!

Yes, save on postage :D

No worries. I kinda figured that was the case. Just wanted to make sure before doing so though.

Does anyone happen to know what company the Berkshire apple and fig is from? There are 4 or 5 listed so I wasn’t sure.

I believe that was a sample I put in from tealosophy.

So I went to the post office to send out the box and the cheapest price was $41. This was about 20 more then i was thinking of sending. How much have others paid so far?

Is that by weight or by flat rate regional? I had to stuff it into a flat rate priority box to make the shipping reasonable, but I imagine it has grown since then…

I believe the large flat rate box is about $21,if the tea will fit. Otherwise maybe we should consider splitting it into two smaller boxes. Any input?

I’m game for whatever. The box was about $25 when I shipped it. If we need to cut it down into smaller boxes that would work too.

Woah, I know the box I put it in was huge, but not that huge! It only cost me like $17 to ship it out, the slowest and cheapest way possible too.

from memory i paid about $16 to ship the box…. $41 seems insane!!!!

Wow, I haven’t seen prices like that to ship in the US before. Those are Canada Post style prices!

The box is on its way. I had to use a smaller one because the size… Or was it the weight…. Anyway thr other one made it more expensive.

Thanks for letting me be apart of this box. I gotta say my favorite part was finding that tea that tasted like tea and brandy. Helped me cope with losing my grandma cause she loved tea with brandy.

I’m glad the tea was able to help. Sometimes it’s the simplest things and memories that eases the stress of losing a loved one.
Curious, which tea was it?

Skysamurai said

odd as it may sound it was Berkshire Apple and Fig.

Was the box received? I’m only curious, for I haven’t seen much activity on this discussion.

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the box!
