I'll take two on Friday. can you see how much the shipping will be ?

Yes, but I have to find a box! I looked around today and came up empty, and I know I burned one a few days ago that would have been perfect. A flat Rate medium box would be right size-wise, but more expensive than need be I imagine. I'll dig around in my basement.

How about $10 apiece?  I cut these from the center of a belly, usually W & C black harness for these.  It's a drier leather than most harness leather and it won't turn all white from wax after a couple years.  Beautiful finish on the W & C Regular Black Harness if you've never tried it.  I cut them from the center of the belly, no flanky leather or bad wrinkles. Halitech, I can check at the post offc in you want; I called the other day to ask about shipping something up there and she said she shipped a package earlier in the week for someone that weighed 8 oz and it cost $22.  Seems high to me.

Big Sioux, thank you for getting back. About mailing, if you can fit it in a 13 inch padded envelop, USPS charges $ 6.80 priotery mail

Nice, it's been many years since I made them. I can't remember where I got the tooling pattern from.I remember it was dyed red and green !

 I don't think they'd go in an envelope.  Stretched out flat, they've got to be around 17-18 long.  In the last year, I've gotten a whole lot of "postage due" mail on stuff sent in padded envelopes that the PO  said should NOT have been. The $22 quote was to Canada. I sent a couple to WI in a box for just under $8. If I send any more, they'll have to go in a flat rate medium for $13.45, because I'm out of small boxes!

I don't know if you are familiar with it, but USPS sends you boxes at no charge.

As many as you need, & any size you want.

Check out their web site,  usps.com

The only boxes from USPS that I was aware of was their flat rate boxes, which I pick up at the post office.  So I can get boxes from USPS that will ship at the Priority 3-day rate that are NOT flat rate boxes??  The lady at the post office never clued me in on THAT one.

Yes they do! They have a bunch of boxes in all sizes and shapes that are not flat rate and available free. Some post offices have them in the back if you ask and others don't. Like craftsman287 wrote, I go to www.usps.com and end up someplace on the site at "free shipping supplies". They have a bunch of boxes and tubes that are free. You order them (no charge) and your mailman delivers them (no charge) or they hold them for pick up at the post office (gas to get there)..

Thanks Bruce! That's good to know.
