You are fine. Shipping deadline is the 15th.

Please remember that MONDAY APRIL 15 is the deadline for domestic shipping of your trade marbles. (International folks should have shipped on the first.)

The sorting table is starting to look like an exchange is in the works. More pictures to follow...
If your marbles aren't here yet, you should have just gotten a reminder message.
More pictures...
All the exchange marbles look great.
I have more pics in the camera but cropping etc will have to wait for another day.
These are some of my marbles for the exchange......

shit i just re-read the rules....the 6 i sent in are signed "MA 2013" (or 2012 depending on the mib) but don't have my full name or TMP username on them......is this a big issue?
also i'd like to send in a PP for return shipping, where do i send that?
^ I've got you covered.
Wait until I have your return package ready to go and I'll let you know the exact figure for shipping.
so i just labeled all of my 12 marbles... shipping out in 15 minuets thanks....
yeah.... I got a few more made yesterday, should get a box with 6 or 7 out in a bit, just gotta you know... pack them up and go to the post office....
-Doug
I didn't read that either. I signed mine with my signature and TMP13, that was enough for me lolQuote:

That's funny, I was just thinking the same thing. I still owe Carlos...uhg, can't remember his screen name... anyway, I owe him one still. I need to catch up on my debtQuote:

I think the idea that a marble has to be signed with a full name is laughable and unrealistic and totally NOT what is intended.Quote:

That doesn't mean sign each marble with that info, just include a slip of paper with each marble with that info on it.
Sign your marbles (if you do, and you should) with whatever normal signature you'd use.... mine is (almost) always: DSH 'xx
Mine are on there way! My camera is charging, I'll throw up a few pics tonight.
Damn, I didn't sign but included tag with names.
Only nine people came thru?outta 39 ....thats pretty bad.
I shipped 5 mibs this morning. Should be there by wed.:chilling:
I went to ship mine today but there was a line that was over an hour long due to people trying to get there taxes out
Hopefully it won't be as bad on my break.
yeah... tax day SUCKS at the post office.
Maybe Marina overlooked that and can extend the shipping deadline till tomorrow? I'm pre-printing my shipping label on the post office website, so I think I will be fine, but I'll report back on my local post office situation. I'm going at like 12:30 to catch EVERYONE on their lunch break.... should be fun.
got my 12 in the box and heading to the post now. hope line arn't too long.
Ok, ok tomorrow for shipping will be fine.
Brad, I seem to recall shipping was pretty fast last year. We can wait.
Rogue, the name you are looking for is Losiwells. He had to back out of the exchange this year but hopefully will be back for next year's exchange. (also worth the wait)
Akmewon - those nine are the over-achievers who sent theirs in early.
Slips of paper, tags, business cards or sigs on the marbles themselves are fine. What sucks is if the package has no internal or external identifiers other than the return address which (other than city and state) doesn't match any reat name or TMP name on the list. (I did figure it out though.)
I got mine out. post office line wasn't THAT bad at 1:00, but it was probably a 30+ minute wait if I had to stand there.
Use usps.com and print a shipping label, or use the automaic postal center things if you got 'em... like an ATM with a scale, you put your box in and swipe a card and it prints out a shipping label with the postage on it... no reason to wait an hour in line.
Got mine in tha mail today. Got 7 of em coming that way :)
Here's mine, not the best pics but..Attachment 48480Attachment 48481Attachment 48482Attachment 48483
Mine shipped yesterday and should be there thursday. I did forget to include my label. I'll send it today. Sorry I didn't get any pictures up. I've had phone issues lately.
In the mail as of yesterday...6 marbles. I took picts but I need to resize them and dont have quick ability to do so here at work.
My 4 are on the way:fighter:
