"$23 is insane. I had a coiled down Moodhoop (orig. 38" diamater coiled down to half that size) that shipped for a little over $12 in a pizza box. You might want to look into that."

"you will have to ship them seperately. I coil mine down then wrap the crap out of them with bubble wrap but since you have 3, if you can find a larger box or make one then I suggest going with UPS it should be cheaper, they offer better rates for…"

"Okay so, when you coil them down, do you put them in a box? I have three of them so I imagine that'll be the best. How much does that generally cost? Sorry if i'm being annoying, I feel incredibly stupid for not figuring this out…"

"Yeah, I started thinking and I realized I can send her some coiled up tubing so she doesn't have to buy a whole roll. But mostly taping the hoops sounds even better! I'll ask her which she would prefer."

I'm gonna do Wednesday at 7:00pm on the Palace Green. Have some other hoopers of different lvl's coming. I don't really have a way to get music out there, but I think we will be fine (one girl is deaf). I created an event on FB for it, if you want to friend there let me know. Anywho, I'd love to see ya! Want to get these 'Burgites hoopin'!

Hey!

I'm trying to get some hoopers together in CW. Let me know if you would be interested! I'm tired of driving all the way to Richmond!

Much Love,
Rachel

Thanks for you comment, love. I guess the deal is the post office changed their policy a while back, and they don't follow the things listed in the thread anymore...as well as no one knowing of the previous policies to begin with. Silly USPS.

Thank you for your lovely comment and friend add! I definitely still think of myself as a hoop video stalker, and not one that inspires, so your comment was very touching! I love Nickel Creek. ;-)
