NO! And I have asked before since I often have stuff I can ship to my condo and I have always been told absolutely not. This would be great for me...going off to check it out.

Really? I was going to check it out, but there are no C shops in my area - only the B ones.

I hate C. I only do A and B. If I want to donate food, I'll do it locally, not in Spokane, WA......
Just be aware if you do Dim Weight your outgoing expenses will be around $40.

Exactly. I'm not gonna lay out $40 to get paid $12.50...

But if I can send stuff to my condo in an oversized box and get the reimbursement back plus the pay I will go for it. I like the idea of the personal shop for this - I won't do it to send food to an unknown (to me) food bank.
Edited - ok I just checked and all of my C scenarios still go to food banks and personal packages are not an option.

Maybe this will change once I am assigned it, but this is in the job description:
"YOU MUST PERFORM SCENARIO C Dear BARE Evaluator, Have a special birthday or care package to send? If so, we are now allowing evaluators to send personal packages for their Dim Weight shops, if the package weighs at least a minimum of 2.5 pounds and no more than 3.5 pounds. Packages must be sent to a location between zones 5 to 8 and must be shipped in one of the four required dimensional size boxes."
It also says you can still ship to the food bank if you don't have a personal package to send.

I am in NE Ohio and I have friends in Denver, CO. I think this could work out nicely. It is usually not worth shipping an item to them if it is over a pound. I will let you know if I get the assignment and it gets approved.
I did my first post office shop last month. I had to purchase my own box (reimbursed) and I was able to send my little grandson a few oneses and shorts. I brought it to work (I work in a doctors office) put it on the baby scale and was short 1 ounce, so I added a toy and sent it off. I was sooo thrilled to be able to do this, as I wouldn't have mailed it otherwise. So excited to have a way to send him little things without breaking my bank.
This one was Scenario D.

I wonder if other areas are different. There is NO option to send my package to anywhere except the designated food bank. The following is one I did this week.

My shops read this:
"For this shop, all packages will be sent to pre-determined Food Banks. All
items shipped must be non-perishable food items. By completing this shop,
you will help fight hunger."
I don't want to part with my money for that long... so I rarely do the C scenario.

I wonder if they change it, when too much time has passed and they need it done. My last one said I could send it to anyone in zones 5-8, but I still sent it to the Food Bank. If something goes wrong (they don't charge you the extra for the large package) I think they might be able to verify the package size through the Food Bank.
