A Real IPMS Nats Question (Not dog doo)

Not sure about Kansas City 06 but the 05 Atlanta Nat's had a fed ex on site shipping

R> Two days is best. I don't think there are any pack & ship options from

Ahhh Grasshopper, smart model hoarder has shipped somewhere SWMBO can't see it delivered then smuggles one kit at a time in.........;)

Hmm, going to try and beat it home so that the chief doesn't see it coming in? :)

I usually get my kits posted to work now so she dosen't see the incoming stuff .I work on a an airbase so there is a post office ,which is not connected to the one in town.

You could do it all in one long day, but if you plan on taking photos for the guys back home forget it. Conservitively I took over 500 photos (out of over 1000 models) for the slide presentation at the club meeting. If it takes you a minute per photo, well do the math. Also, you're looking at at least 50 to 75 vendors. Allow a few minutes per vendor (more or less) and the math speaks for itself. And I'm not even talking about the numerous seminars. Allow two full days.

Heh, I mailed a kit to an e-bay buyer's workplace so that he could smuggle it into his house. I never had that sort of experience. I'd buy stuff, keep it in the trunk of the car and then slip it in late at night. Fortunately, I don't have to do that anymore. The crappy sodium streetlights would make it too hard to find the car at night.

Most of the IPMS Nationals that I've attended (10 of the last 12) have a local private shipping/mailing company present at least for the last couple of days of the show. They will not only ship, but will also (for a fee) package your kits. Can be expensive, but nice value for convenience - especially if you are flying.
