    So I have been trading for a little while now and send out about between 3 and 4 boxes a month. Just wondering what other traders send out on average?

    Cheers,

    Fluctuates. Sometimes 0, sometimes...like this month, 5-6.

    Same.

    I haven't sent out a package in over 6 months. However, this month I've already sent 2 out.

    I'd say it probably averages out to about 1 month. I don't trade that often and most are IP trades. I usually just ship to some regular partners.

    I'd say I average 1 or 2.
    There are many months where I don't send any, and others where I could do 5 or 6.

    I always say I am going to slow down on the trading. Then I have to set up a FedEx pickup for 2-3 boxes every week. Oh well, I figure I could have worse addictions.

    Same here. This month I've sent out 6 boxes, last month I sent two.

    It ebbs and flows. I'm finding 2 per month is the happy spot though. More than that and it starts to feel like a chore, less than that and I miss the excitement of getting a box.

    6 boxes this month... and counting.

    It generally falls between 4-12 boxes per month.

    As few as 1-2, and maybe as high as a dozen if I include IPs.

    I hadn't traded in probably 4-5 months but sent out two boxes today!

    0-3 a month, depends on if I have the cash and if there is anything worth trading. I like to compile a few killer bottles, toss in a 6pk and send it out as a solid package whenever it's ready rather than sending out whatever is around. Personal preference though.

    Dropped off 4 yesterday, shipping half that to myself for darkness day. Will drop off 2 or 3 later this week. Next week will be 2 or 3 back from darkness day. The week after that I'll be shipping home from Texas too.

    On average probably 3-4 a month for me. I never like to have more than 2 trades going at once though.

    Actually, I just did the math.... 338 days on BA, 104 trades (7 in person) is 2.15 per week or 9.2 per month.

    It's a sickness. Lol

    I might do one every couple months, on average. In my heyday, I would do at least a dozen a month, with 50+ as the record. Yes, I did have a problem.

    I do one a month from Holland. Mostly those go to regulars, but I try to make space for one-offs as best I can.

    Cheers,
    Jeff
