Another thing that you could do is ship like twice a week.
Who's in THAT much of a hurry that a day or two extra wait for a rock is gonna kill them?
Going to the post office (don't know how far away or busy your branch is) is a PITA.

Going to the post office (don't know how far away or busy your branch is) is a PITA. Yep, but printing off the shipping label at home and then having the post man come pick it up from your house is even easier and less time consuming than going to PO. I am a person who prints from home (when I can), but hand delivers to front desk person without waiting in a line. I get dirty looks from all the suckers waiting in line (and not using the self-serve kiosk) every time. I'm even shipping Internationally at home and it includes the customs label with it. Yeah buddy! |

captbob how big is that obsidian sphere? I don't know, Glenn said he would check next time he goes to the shop. I'm curious what the black specimens are in the front left and center here -  Looks like that would be a fun rock shop to spend some time in! |

I suck at guessing size and distance. Depth perception not the greatest |

This thread is going to get very messy over time but how much for some of the crystal plates? sizes? close up photos? You realize setting up an etsy store is free? .20 cents for every item you list then 3% of the sale goes to etsy. Very cut and dry with no hassles. You can pick the shipping cost for every item. That would end the confusion over what is available too. What is your grand plan to help him sell this stuff online? Is it just going to be threads like this? Amethyst, smokey, citrine  Thanks Chuck |

Amethyst, smokey, citrine Thanks Chuck Thanks captbob for the ideas/ suggestions Chuck, he does have a fluorite piece however the price sticker fell off or was not put on so i'm not going to advertise it until there it a price. (the owner just feft out of state today) I am not sure about the smokey, they may be in storage or sold since Christmas. he does have this piece of citrine in shop (I can get a better pic if you want it) along with some amythest cathedrals which I will post soon.  |

Because this thread is spread out, What I am going to do is edit / update the 1st post on this thread with all available items that ive taken photos of and put all info (shipping and stuff).
as for usps, I am not on rout for them so I will have to bring it to the post office. I will be going at least once a week depending on how many orders there are (working 2 different jobs i'm not 100% about my schedule)
The update will take a little time so please be patiant
As for mailing spheres, anything mailed will be fully protected, rough things will be how people usually do rough.

Please don't start editing posts. Just add new pictures to this end of the thread. I would do that as well, as for the 1st post of this topic I think others would appreciate it if all the info and things available for sale are on one post, I could be wrong but I think it will help. |

Think both of those spheres are very cool. And ya can't beat the price! That was some fast shipping by the post office.
Ever come to a conclusion on what they are?
Around here it's: hide from wife so I don't hear "You don't need any more rocks!"
She is right, of course. I don't NEED more rocks. I WANT more rocks.
Figure it's kinda like SHE doesn't NEED more shoes!

Going to the East Coast it's usually 2 days. Going out West it's 2-3days-whenever it gets there |
