Extras
The focus of The Ships
Project is, and always will be, handmade items.
Due to the high price of postage, we are being forced to cut
back on the "extra" items we can send. "Extras"
should be considered a supplement to your handmade items.
Thanks for your understanding, and your help in ensuring The
Ships Project will be able to continue getting your
wonderful items out to the troops.
At this time, we will be
able to send, in LIMITED QUANTITIES (a few items per box):
-
International
Phone/Calling Cards, preferably 60+ minutes.
