Mule Needed for Shelter Supplies

Hi everyone!
I have about 8.5 pounds of supplements/meds to be muled down to the Peanuts. They would fit in a small (under seat) carry-on to give you an idea of size, however, there are several 8oz bottles of liquids(bottles inside boxes from the manufacturer), so they will have to go in checked bags. I would also be happy to divide the load into 2 or 3 parts if someone only has a little room.
I am in the DFW airport area and due to the weight, I would prefer not to ship them, but I will if no locals are able to take the stuff any time soon. Post here or PM me if you might be able to help.
Thanks!!!

Bump.
Want to thank Sybuk for the offer, but it didn't work out. Still looking.

I'm heading down 11/20 but am leaving from Boston so you'd have to ship but putting the offer out there.

Thanks u2girlie! Let me check on the cost of shipping and I'll get back to you tomorrow. A few recent expenses have left me a little strapped, but if it's not just crazy expensive, that shouldn't be a problem.

My husband will be coming down December 28th, flying out of DFW, if that would be of any help.

Deb and I are flying down the day after Thanksgiving and we fly into Dallas before heading to Cancun, I am checking my bag but you would need to get the meds to me here in Lincoln, Ne. BEFORE i check them, since i won't see my bag until we arrive in Cancun. PM me if this would help you out

I would be willing to pay for you to ship the box to who ever is willing to take it to Playa for you!!! Just PM me and I will send you the $$ for shipping so no need to worry about the cost I am not going down until Feb. my suitcase full of meds already weights 49lbs So I could not take it (max weight is 50lbs) but if it will help you I will reimburse you the shipping!!! Please let me know!!!!

I can help with shipping costs too.

Also, if you have anything that needs to be muled in January, I just might be able to help.

Well, it was kinda meant as a funny. 83val is my sister and brother in law. They've been on me and my boyfriend to come visit their beloved Playa for years, as I've never been out of the country. We're all coming down together in Jan...and I'm so excited! We're traveling together and all four of us will be bringing all sorts of shelter goodies at that time.

Helping with the shipping this batch is just part of my "trip-prep".

I hope 83Val doesn't mind if I jump in on her mule thread. Yesterday my vet donated three boxes of sterile surgical supplies, and bandaging materials. Lots of gloves, pads, wraps, gowns, etc. None of it is very heavy, but there is a lot of stuff. If anyone has room in their luggage, I will ship to you. I think this mule job is going to take several people Andy and Jen will be able to use all of this for surgeries when their friend John gets back to town. Drop me a PM if you can help, I will be starting a list of people I need to buy drinks for!!!!!!
