"Pass The Cart" project, Official Thread

[Rick Palidwor]

Dilemma.
Last Coyote asked me to mail cart 5 (processed) via registered or traceable mail. I cannot send it registered as it is not a document. I can try to diguise it as a fat document but prefer not to go that route.

Traceable "expresspost" is going to cost me $50!!! I do not want to spend $50 to ship. I already spent $16 to process (and only have 7 feet).

Jusetan is the last shooter on cart 2 and he is in Toronto so I can wait and combine those rolls (it will be same price.) In fact, all the carts could be sent at the same price. It's not the weight. $50 is the minimum to do "expresspost" and we could probably get 4 rolls done for the same price.


Each of the last shooters may be in the same boat. Where are predoo and richard p.t. located? It may cost less, aggregate, to send them to TOronto and then ship all 4 from here. (Even if Jusetin and I combine efforts, that's still $25 each).

The alternate is to ship by regular mail. 99.9% of that stuff gets through. I am willing to risk it if others (especially others on cart 5) are.
Thoughts anyone.

Hi Rick,

Ok. Just normal airmail will do. I will not prefer to wait up to any other cart. It is because the early it finish TC. It helps to push the other players of the other cart go faster.

And many shooters who suffer the last tragic of project curse also because of waiting. So I would prefer if you can send it to me ASAP. And I'lll do TC and Flatwood will do music for anyone who doesn't provide music track. And we will on air of this clip. Other players of other cart will also love to see such amazing result.

Different place have different post rules. We can send registered or traceable mail even it is just a cart of film and doesn't make any big charge here. But as you said.. if it costs you that much. Of course don't go for it. Use the normal airmail without traceable.

Don't hold up and wait for the other carts. Pedroo will be in HongKong... and for example myself and Pedroo will need to send to Japan or USA for processing too. And I provide 2 carts of films myself too.

So anyone who like to share the $16 with Rick on cart 5???

I'm sorry for 7 seconds only... This is a project for fun and we surely don't wish anyone who joined and get unhappy experience.

Thanks for joining and update

Consider it in the mail.

I don't need any contributions to the $16 since everybody incurs costs along the way. (Only wanted to avoid the $50 for obvious reasons).

[brokenflashlight]

Great! Did I remember to put in the information sheet that lasycoyote sent with the cart? I'm pretty sure I did...

[lastcoyote]

Hi guys,

Sorry I've not been around this last week...found out a week ago my father is terminally ill so we're trying to arrange for him to get done everything he needs (and wants) to do before he can no longer do them. Incidentally he features on my original Kodachrome PTC.

I will shoot either this weekend or next for sure. Promise!

[flatwood]

Dang Angus. Sorry to hear about your dad.

[etimh]

Yeah Angus, wishing you and your family well.

Take care friend.

Tim

[Patrick]
