Picks Around the World (Page 4 of 17)

I just found this thread... very cool!  Have fun... and Roger you'd BETTER post some pics of those Picks to keep the rest of us alive here!! 

Well Mr Postman has been quicker than anticipated and has paid me a visit today so I am up to my neck in guitar picks (a slight exaggeration ). The choice is great and I have selected a cool matchbox set which was put in by Kenny (thanks my friend) and thrown in a selection of mine. Who will receive them next??????? I am now awaiting e-mail requests.

Roger

PS I will be unable to forward them on this week as I am working in my friend's music shop and cannot get to the post office.

Phew-w-w-w-w-w....I'm real glad you got the pics Roger.
I was hoping  I didn't have a brainfart when I wrote down your address.

PS I'm glad you liked the pac-o-pics... I don't have a camera to take a pic of the pics...Do You?

Hi Zurf, and everyone else for that matter,

As I understand it once a participant has perused the posted pack of picks package and picked his preference he or she (in this case me) posts a message here. It is then up to whoever would like them next to e-mail that person privately with a mailing address so that they can be forwarded on. However it was Jeff's suggestion that the next recipient remains anonymous until they get the parcel (to add to the suspense and a good idea too), they will then post a messsage here saying they have it and invite others to e-mail them for it. And so it continues..............

Kenny I will see what I can do.

^ badeye - like I said, I got off cheap as I only had to send it across the same state. I had some old .42 cent stamps laying around (postage just increased in the US to .44) so I slapped 3 of them on there I think. I didn't get it weighed, just took a guess. A single stamp may have been enough. I guess we are doing our parts to keep the postal service in business.

For the folks who are watching and interested in receiving the package, it may be helpful for you to hit the "subscribe to this topic" on the bottom of the forum. That way you should get an email when this topic is updated and may give you an edge in getting it next.

OK there is already a new recipient lined up for the picks. They will be staying this side of the pond for now and going to the UK.

I see that it cost Kenny $3.90 to mail them from Canada to me in Portugal and I will let you know what it costs me when I get them mailed.

Shouldn't be a problem Wayne with the right padded envelope. I believe the thumb picks I've ordered were all sent that way. I imagine the envelope is a bit bigger that the one I started with, so thumb picks should fit fine.

This is really cool.
Who's next on the list? who's it being shipped to?

OK I managed to get the picks posted today and I am told that they should take about a week to arrive at their destination. Fingers crossed that the post will not be delayed for any reason and anyone else wanting them please keep your eyes peeled next week for a message from the person who gets them.

The postage cost from here to the UK was €1.33. I already had a suitable jiffy bag so I do not know the cost of that.

Roger

Hi Jeff,

The lady concerned is away for the weekend but I know that they were not received on Friday. There has been a postal dispute in the UK and that may be the cause of the delay.

Updated map pic and link. Check out camdener's comment and photo about Camden Lock Market. Sounds like a great place to spend an afternoon.
