Sherrylike, IMHO
I would not publicly post my Addie here...............
BUT
You could enter it into the DG address exchange , that only subscribers have access to.

It's found at the top of the DG Home Page in the Extras Tab
Brug cuttings
Hi, i have never tried a brug, but am willing to be converted if you have any left
Thankyou Carol
I'd love a cutting or a few seeds from your white brug or any other. I will be happy to send postage if you have any thing left by now! Doris
I believe Non subscribers can only read the first post in a thread. If you put your address in the exchange, the same people that can read it here (not in the first post) could read it there. Isn't that right? Myself, I believe the safest way to do business is by the new DG email and when Donna is ready, she will probably explain how she wants to do it. I do have to say that I found this week, via Drummat, that a bubble envelope, the size that would hold a full sheet of paper, works wonderful for a couple of cuttings that are about 7 inches long. Less packing to do and I really appreciated him sending it. He sent his address label and a Priority stamp. All I had to do was put the label and stamp on, stick the cuttings in, and seal. Ready to go.
Yup , Our new DG eMail is way cool !
Gosh, Brugie, that's good news, and almost impossible to believe, I have LOTS of those bubble envelopes, *wink*!!!!! Up and down, 7 inches, or catty corner, which might mean a longer cutting.
Scoot, thanks, I really appreciate the info!!! I added my addy to the 'forum' you suggested - I guess I overlooked the forum...
That is a good idea Shirley especially since it is getting cooler for some people. It will help hold heat better and not have to fill a box with news paper but I don't think I would do it in the heat of summer though.
O.K. if everyone wants to go ahead and send me a priority stamp for 2 lbs if you just want Monster Brug and 3 lbs if you want Golfito and/or Frosty Pink too and an addy label. Priority Mail stamp my zip 39564 to yours. Then I can just do some as I feel like it and start getting them out since I won't have to drive into town to the P.O. My addy is in the exchange. You must sign up for it to be able to see the other members addy. Look in the top bar of the page for Extras for the link to it. Or e-mail me for my addy if you are not signed up for it. Thanks Shriley this way really takes a load off.
mine will go out tommorow. i would like a little of all three if possible. if not just the monster is fine with me. thanks marie
I have plenty of all 3. They are huge branching trees
Wow, Donna. You are so nice to do this. I'll get mine in the mail tomorrow, too, for three, please. Thank you!!
Terrie
i want a huge branching tree. i want to smell the fragerance everyone talks about. okay i am going to baby the monster brug cuttings and maybe they will be a monster for me. hehe
Donna-
Can I get in on this Donna for All 3?
imzadi, that's exactly what I want too!!! My hubby was grilling way back on our property and he smelled something, through the grill smoke, that was heavenly, says he, and followed his nose quite a distance, in the dark and ended up at the only bloom in the yard and it was my unknown pink - I just cannot wait for a big one that has LOTS of fragrant blossoms!!!
I went to the post office this morning to get my Priority Mail stamp for Donna - man they sure gave me a hard time! I asked them for a stamp to mail 3lb from Donna's zip code - he replied "Can't give you that - the box will have to be weighed". I told him, "look, just figure out what the postage would be for a box weighing up to 3lbs give me the postage". He told me the cost and then handed me about 5 regular stamps adding up to the $7.13. but he told me the person shipping this would have to have it weighed to be sure it is under 3lb and they would have to bring it to the P.O. - they couldn't leave it in the box. Then I asked him for a few address labels - he handed me ONE and ushered up the next customer. geesh,,,anybody else get grief or is it just my luck?
Donna - you're a peach for doing this - sure hope you can just hand the pkgs to the mailman and not have to drive them down to the P.O.
Diane Krny
Diane,
u could have save urself some grief and gasoline. here is the site to figure out stamps u will need. it is the Domestic stamp calculator http://postcalc.usps.gov/ hth.
edited to add: price of postage will vary from zone to zone, not by weight alone.

what i did this morning is went to the po and asked for two 3.85 stamps. i didnt say priority or anything. the lady asked me why i needed two and told her for a three pound box and she said that should be enough.
if not like i sid in an email to Donna let me know the remaining and i will get it back to her. thats all i can do. I dont know what size or shape the boxes are so you have to go with your instincts on how much and hopefully its enough.
the post office can be a hassle. i know had major problems with last po and had problems on here due to last po.
Donna YOU ARE THE BEST FOR DOING THIS!!!!!! THanks
ma vie...thank you for your link...it helped alot !! Margie
Mine comes to $6.05 for all three and is going in the mail today.
Terrie
Does anyone know where there is a chart showing what postal zone you are in?
I have a question? If Donna has Paypal what would she have to do that she wouldn't have to do by the way of our sending her a postage lable? Just a question. Please don't jump down my throat over this.
The link that MaVie Rose gave is one I have been looking for. Now if we could just find the zone chart, then we could print our own labels. Right? According to that chart, the longest zone would cost $8.55 for 3 pounds. I guess that is from her zone to zone 8, which would be the West coast like mine in Washington state.Is that right?.
Jeanette
Jeanette,
If I understand your question correctly, you just need to put your zip code in the to box and hers in the from box.
u're welcome Margie :).
Jeanette, do not worry about the different zones. it will be more confusing, i believe only the post office knows the difference.
all u have to do is plug in DonnaB's zip code like she gave above From Zip Code , then plug in ur zip code on To Zip Code, then follow the instructions on the USPS site.
Yep some of the postal people can be rude. I have to fight with them to sometimes. What's so hard about 3 lb and a zip code??? Geesh!!! Just do it I tell them. I will fill the boxes up as much as I can for the postage you send. Sorry you all are having a hard time. I don't think any should be over 5.00 dollars as i have sent out hundreds of big boxes full for a little more than 7.00 in the last few years.
DonnaB
mine went out today i am getting all 3 thanks so much you're a sweetie
moretz
Would love all 3 too if you still have the energy when you get this far down the list. Am a newby to brugs but need to get in on the brug obsession. Thanks for your generosity DonnaB.
mine went out yesterday for sure. you should have it in a few days. Thanks agian .
they told me it would be $4.65 from Donna to me since they do not know the SIZE of the box, but said that would take care of it since I knew the aprox. weight of 3lb.
Donna, my postage according to the postal calculator came to $6.05. I also am including the label. I am sending it in today's mail. Thanks, Melba
Hey Donna,
I don't undestand Monster brug either. I saw yours. This was one very well rooted when I planted it..then is just sat there. Putting on new small leaves then losing them. I just gave it some bone meal to see if it will start producing leaves for me. However, I'm still sending you postage for another cutting to keep as back up and I'll just leave this one in the ground to see what it does.
Thanks a bunch,
Daisy
Donna I forgot to put in address label but the return address label should peal of OK and you can use that.
DonnaB
i forgot the address label as well please forgive me but you can cut theone off of the envelope to send back to me if you would like sorry
moretz
p.s. have you gotten my stamps yet?
No problem Mortez. Haven't recieved any from anyone yet.
I sent mine out.My post office here is very nice.Told her what I wanted & she handed right over-then took my envelope.They're used to me tho.:) I spend one day a week in there in the growing season!
sent mine off a couple days ago, it was also 6.05, for a 3 pound box. she looked atme kind of strange, and said , well I don't know what that's going to cost if you don't have the box. LOL I said , well, just imagine I have a box here that weighed that much, and gave her your zip code and said how much would it cost to ship it, LOL she then told me 6.05, and that's what I bought stamps for.
