Hello all,

Is anyone going to the IFLOG in October who would be willing to take and bring home an entry?

Thanks in advance.

Hey David,

You know you can mail your entry, right? But if you do it can be a little pricey. Last year I took my entries to a UPS packing place cuz I didn't have a box and thought they would do a better job of packing them anyway. BUT.... when they saw that they were art work, the said they needed to be wrapped in bubble wrap, put in a box, then that box wrapped in bubble wrap had to go into another box. Then they hit you for oversized box and again for insurance. The reason they used was "if grandma is mailing a jar of pickles of to her grandkids and that box is on top of yours, and the jar breaks, we dont want them to ruin your art." They also took digital pictures of the contents just in case the pickles did leak on my pictures. It ended up costing me about $90 for shipping each way. Last spring I packaged my own pictures to send to a different show and mailed them through the USPS for about a third of the cost, same insurance. But if there is someone close by that can take them for you, that would be a lot better all the way around.
