The season of witches and goblins looms.
Though Halloween is more than a month away, we’ve competed our project of producing lapel pins. Lots of ’em.
Which means folks on our mailing list are now beginning to receive mini-parcels of pins accentuated by images of ghouls, jack-o-lanterns, and oher icons of the bewitching season.
You’ll note, too, that the 2025 packaging is visually different — a sleeker format — with the pins snugly nestled in our usual celephane bag, without the crinkle of the past and minus a bow. This saves time, a bit of money and space. But not so much money; postal fees have spiraled; what was a $1.99 fee to mail a box of several pins a decade ago now is $6.00 (local) or $8.00 or more. The first mailing of 10 or 12 mini-boxes totaled $100. And subsequent mailings will include 80 to 85 boxes — and that’s just the postage!
Christmas, the jolliest of all seasons, could be the finale for distributing Wild Pins.
HI WAYNE,
NOT SURE IF MY REPLY WENT THRU TO YOU ABOUT THE PINS. YEAH IT’S TIME TO STOP MAILING THEM WITH THE POSTAGE GOING UP SO HIGH. I JUST MAILED A FLAT RATE BOX TO MY GIRLFRIEND IN OREGON AND IT COST ME $29.00.
