It would save me a heck of a headache trying to get a gun and a sword through security and trying to explain why...NYC TSA...ugh! If anyone happens to know of someone passing near the state of NY that wouldnt mind hauling one more case to PiP for a few coin, please send me a PM so I could "persuade" them to give me a hand if possible.... closer to the dates....there will be a flurry of folk kickin up details...of how and whenn their gittan all thars stuffs there....from hitch hickin to sailin down...and several just UPS there stuff down so its magically down there when they show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Alexander Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) I shipped a few boxes of stuff to the Fort last year as well. With Harry retiring, it might be a good idea to find out who the new person taking over is and if it's still ok with them. It probably won't even be an issue but............................

Commodore Swab Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 You can just mail all your weapons to me in Key Largo if you want and we can transport them down when we come. Heck if a tone of people need it we even have a trailer and can litterally load up a couple tons of stuff. So those of you who need to shipp the bigger cannons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Cutter Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) The discussion of transporting tents [from Footprints! Tents] brought this to mind. Is it possible, practical or permissible to ship (UPS) canvases down to the Fort and have them stored until our arrival? I am not suggesting something random, but a somewhat organized shipment(by parameter of dates). I do understand what this might entail, but the possibility could really make or break the visit for someone flying in to the event, or those with limited space in a vehicle. I am also going to investigate a "commercial alternative" such as shipping to a "Mailboxes Plus" or similar, and see if they will hold a shipment for "immediate" pick-up.

Raphael Misson Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) I was sort of wondering about that. I also wonder if they will want to keep Becky? I doubt Spike has room at his place for her... Who is the contact there? I want to ask them about donating her to the fort. Harry helped me with some forms and tax information on Bucky and I want to see if that is still jake.

Capt. Sterling Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Those wishing to ship things down to PiP, please contact me at archangeljhsterlingcpt@embarqmail.com... once again I am handling this personally in order to lighten the work load on the event organizers. I will forward along the shipping address to you and the information you need. Items will be shipped to Fayma and she does not wish to have her personal address posted on an open forum... I am certain all here can understand such a request. Also she recommends dealing with UPS or USPS.... she knows there is a UPS Store in town in order to arrange return shipments after the event..she does not know of one for Fed Ex...so you will want to stay away from that... Mission: Shipping Becky to Fayma is AOK...As to donating Becky to the Fort... Fayma needs to check into this and get back to me...

Fayma needs to check into this and get back to me... That's cool, but for the donation and the tax stuff, I actually need to talk with someone at the Fort, not a volunteer. Harry allowed me to give Bucky to the fort as an in-kind donation which requires park folks to submit paperwork on my behalf to the Florida park commission. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Capt. Sterling Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Fayma understands this.... she is looking into it and will get back with the answer as soon as she knows "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

Raphael Misson Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Hey, good idea putting this in its own topic Sterling! I am going to split the OT posts out of the Footprint thread and put them in here. (It will change the thread as the older posts will be on top - sorry for any confusion.) I have shipped things to the fort when Harry was there and it worked quite well. Without Harry, though, we should try to organize this this year as Captain Sterling suggests. With this in mind, one of the original posts on how to ship stuff to the fort can be found here. However, since Harry is not there, I would not depend on the folks at the fort to know what to do with your stuff until the details have been sorted out, so you would be well advised to coordinate shipping as suggested unless you want your stuff to go missing.

Commodore Swab Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Once again if anybody needs to they can ship to my address here in the Keys and I can bring it to PiP, I should be going by boat (arriving on monday or tuesday) so I will have pleanty of room on board. If anything arrives after I have left it can be brought the rest of the way by Shay or the Viceroy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
