When you ship a box to different coasts, you have to measure the box which makes it go up even higher.

I'd think clothes and toys would be fine but when you start getting into bowls and other things, it will get a little pricey.
I agree with you and Bchgirl, I just mailed a very small box and it was $12.00, as long as people are aware that shipping prices are really high, some people on a budget might be tempted to just keep the box. Not that it isn't a great idea, I just can see a host of problems, especially with the donations part. Lots more paperwork for Yorkietalk to do.
