Most Benevolent Crapmaster,
The accolades are wonderful, but may I assume it IS possible to add the prophylactic liner to the Exalted Box 'O Crap for further shipment? And as to the signatures: Is that similarly OK? As always your crappy servant just wanting to comply with the requests of the Most Wonderful and Powerful Crapmaster. As you shall deem, I will comply. Your lowly and crappy servant, MH

My advisers are unclear as to the nature of thy signature request...
Ah yes! The Columbus SLX decal! Indeed! Lovely idea! Wonderful, yes proceed with the blessings of the realm!

The BoC arrived safely in my hands this morning. I think I'll leave it taped up for structural integrity until I get home, but the box is intact:

I don't know how y'all managed to fit all that in this box! I ended up with one extra piece after I re-sealed the box just because I forgot to put it back in. And what I had planned to put in the box would've taken up over half the volume of the box by itself. I planned to put the heaviest, sturdiest stuff in first, with the lightest and most delicate stuff at the top, but in the end, I just scrambled things up until I could get the top closed.
I believe romperrr is next.

Pending pickup by our letter carrier, which will probably be Tuesday morning, the Box is enroute to the next victim.

Just checked the tracking on USPS, it is still on it's way. Will post when received. I am eager for the crap that will befall me.

I have a group I ordered through Ebay, it’s been wandering around Detroit for a couple weeks. I think the USPS is still running fewer staff, and it’s making deliveries sloooooow.

Yes, USPS tracking showed the BOC bouncing around Detroit distribution centers for most of the past week!

Everything I've bought or sold recently has slowed way down. I generally drop packages in the lobby at Evanston's main post office. I'd say it takes at least 36 hours before tracking shows it as received, then it can take awhile (couple days) before it appears to start moving from wherever it was originally scanned. I'm sure USPS is hurting, both in terms of reduced staff and (ahem) flak from El Presidente and his minions.

I hope the postal workers are healthy. I fear for them.

My friend sent me a package over a week ago from NY and it’s been bouncing around the Houston USPS system since Monday. It’s still not here and there’s no update to tracking since then.
USPS is the worst.

Looks like it’ll be awhile before my turn comes around, but the crap around here ain’t going nowhere. Mr. Crapmaster, please add me to the list!

Hello all, the coveted crap container. I had some computer/phone issues come up recently that I had to attend to. The box will be on its way shortly.
Thanks!
