i have not seen it at any regional or the one national symposium i have attended but....

if you are flying, you really can not buy much in the vendor area of the symposium, espically wood, because of space limitations.....

if there where boxes and labels where we could have a mail pickup i then would not have an excuse to not buy something.... not sure how this could be set up.... not sure if anyone else has had this problem, or if the majority will be within driving distance :(
 
There is always a UPS shipping vendor at the AAW symposium.
We have used that service a couple of times.
It ain't cheap.
If you can use a flat rate USPS box and buy the postage and have someone get it to the PO that would be less costly.

Or if you can fly Southwest, have an extra piece of luggage ready to take home with your stuff, it's supposed to be free. Weight might be a problem.

just some thoughts.
