The smallest padded envelopes sold at Staples were 5x9 so I refuse to ship 4 small samples in such a large container. I have decided to delay shipping for a day or two and fill the envelope with more soap to make shipping worth while. I'll keep everyone informed.

It might be more work than it is worth, but I have seen some pretty small cardboard boxes at Walmart for about 50 cents apiece. Some tape, old newspaper, and a shipping label and I bet first class shipping would be very affordable.The smallest padded envelopes sold at Staples were 5x9 so I refuse to ship 4 small samples in such a large container.

$2.45 each plus 0.80 per envelope is only $3.25 per package, not bad! I actually spent more on the sample container than postage. Next time I'll buy bigger sample containers than these. These are about half the size I thought they were.
The sample containers I sent you soap in a while back were from Maggard's. I use a lot of these in the soap sample passaround boxes after trying several others. They seem to be a nice size for samples. Not too big and not too small.
The envelope has ARRIVED! And I'm so grateful to live in a postal anomaly - Maine is only 2 days from Oklahoma! I ripped open the packaging and had to smell each one of them - a wide and varied selection of scents - and each one is amazing. (I'm participating in the soap passarounds and received the PannaCrema box today, too, so my trying these soaps and their reviews will be delayed)
Thank you, [MENTION=108263]rockclimber[/MENTION], for this amazing and generous PIF and all of your hard work dividing and packing the soaps!!!
I was going to scrape off an amount between the size of a pea and half an almond, maybe break that up or flatten it (I like your idea about doing that) and load/lather from my mug. My brush is made of badger hair so it's softer and should load nicely. I have to shave daily because of my job, but my beard grows back quickly so I'll have ample stubble to put these soaps through a decent performance test.Hey got mine too. Liking the scents however I'm not shaving for a couple days so can't try em out just yet. How you plan on lathering them? I'm thinking flattening in my mug and loading on top, but all that surface area they'll get eaten up fast with my stiff brushes.
