All -- I see this as a very cute idea that would work nicely if it was just for clothes or just for toys or just for items with a similar value and all of our pets were the same size. I think it will be very difficult to manage. I think the potential to be stuck with a high postage fee and only get a box filled with nothing a person can use is very high!
If people really just want to get rid of things, watch how fast low priced or free items move on the Yorkie Products for Sale Forum. If it is the "treasure chest" idea....well I think there will be a few that wind up with a treasure and a bunch that don't. Maybe I am being pessimistic. I was really thinking about doing it at the beginning because it was a cute original idea, then I thought of options (just as Admin mentioned in one of their posts), but, the more I think it through, I think I have decided to stick with the already sanctioned Gift Exchange and Sale Forums.
Wabbit -- But if the project goes forward, I hope everyone winds up with a "treasure" and we have lots of happy Yorkies with their rehomed items! See, even if people ask questions, even if they decide not to participate, they can still hope for the best for those that do. No reason to "hop" all over anyone for having natural questions about a project that is just in the idea formation stage. |
FlDebra, that was a wonderful post!

Ok, maybe the size makes a difference. I was putting in a 2 foot square box, 24inches by 24 inches by 24 inches. I was thinking of a bigger treasure chest.
I guess it's the pirate in me.
Sounds like USPS one rate the way to go, wish I'd know about that before.
