The BLF worldwide geocache! Let's get the box round the world! BOX EN ROUTE

Sounds like fun, I’m in.

I like the idea of a USB thumb drive in the box to collect photos on.

The USB is a good idea, but I don’t have a spare, maybe someone can add one in on the way
The box is ready To go, just waiting for the list to be filled!

Still 8 places guys!

Hmmmm, I noticed this is not picking up any pace. I guess the international shipping fee is too much in some areas.

Like here, shipping local is just 1$, shipping from philippines to usa goes up to at least50$

Wow, that shipping to the US is outrageous.

We did this once with a forum for bass fishermen. We started with a box of like 20 lures. Each person took 5 out and put 5 new ones in there. They had to be popular lures for their area. It was kinda cool to see the variety of baits in the end. It went through A LOT of people all across the US and Canada.

$50 shipping?! That’s crazy, the box is not that big, so shipping shouldn’t really be an issuse for most, I hope we can get something sorted to get the box en route, it should be fun, your not really loosing any money to shipping because your receiving the box from the person before you who paid that shipping, make sense?

I say let’s get this rolling soon if no one else joins and you can add anyone else later. This is a great idea!

I’m happy to post whenever, I was just waiting for the full 20 incase it gets to the last person and they have no one to post to

I'd like to be in on this. Sounds like it could be a fun little adventure

Done!

Bump :smiley:

another bump, will most likely post the box to the first person at the beginning of next week, even if we don’t have all 20 places!

There will likely be more subscribers once the photos and stories come in for it. :slight_smile:

I hope so! And if all goes well a round 2 :stuck_out_tongue:

I'd love to join in guys but the funds are not available at this point in time. My purse strings have been tied shut for awhile. All the best for the world trip and looking forward to reading about the parcels exploits.

I checked International shipping rates for USPS from my ZIP code to the UK, came out to about $15. Not too bad. But if you want tracking, it bumps you up to Priority Mail, $39.95.

In case anyone from the US is wondering.

ircalc.usps.com/Mobile/MailServices.aspx?country=10355&m=6&p=1&o=0&dpb=0&mdt=2015/03/13%2008:00&dvi=30

50-80$ shipping from us to philippines? Uk is further but why is it cheap?

USPS must be trolling me right?

Use the drop down option to select something other than Priority Mail. First Class, which is basically normal mail, is only about $15-16USD. But you do not get Tracking Information for that cheap of shipping option.

The box will be posted (most likely) on Thursday to DBSAR! If anyone wants to be added (or removed) from the list let me know!

Awaiting its arrival :slight_smile:
