Do you usually wear a mask when you work with Dymondwood? The mask won't get rid of the smell, but it's important to prevent dust inhalation. Dymondwood and many of the exotic wood dusts are dangerous to your health.
As for preventing lingering odor on your hands, I would suggest wearing some kind of gloves. I have a big box of latex gloves that I use during part of the finishing process. Latex gloves are easy because after you're finished with your project, you just throw them away.

Squiggy... If you don't like the post office.. you could print your shipping label through Paypal.. stick it on a box or whatever.. then just have it ready for your postal carrier to pick it up.. You won't have to go to the post office at all.. or.. you could have your boxes or whatever ready with the label and have someone else just drop them off at the PO.. Just an idea!
