Paints are needed!
Posted by Bgrigg on Thursday, February 16, 2006 6:45 PM
The troops overseas are very appreciative of the kits many of you have been sending, but they are in dire need of paints!

Please see Paints are needed! conveniently located in the Charity and Goodwill forums for details!

Moderators, please allow these duplicate threads to stay in place for a couple of days!

So long folks!

The only problem with this is shipping Bgrigg. After having serious issues trying to ship a bottle of Future overseas, I don't think paint is going to make it! The post office flat refused to do it, and UPS and FED EX wanted over $70! Another problem is the only one that can ship to a military address (APO?) is the US Postal Service. How are we supposed to ship the paint when they won't even ship Future floor polish? Not trying to bring this down, but its a serious issue that needs addressed to make sure we can do it.

Acrylic paints shipped to APO are not a problem. I know because I've done it! I think you may have run into that rarity at a post office, the officious clerk who thinks they know all the rules, and are going to use them against you!

Besides, I have ways! Eizzle I've sent you a PM, others can PM or Email me for details.

So long folks!
