Because the circular swaps are so popular, to have this whole thing run smoothly, we ask that you follow the rules exactly.

Please do not comment in this post with anything other than your sign up comment. All other discussion and questions should be taken to the Discussion & FAQ thread, or emailed to [email protected]. Please do not PM me, @Robinssa or @nikkimouse with circular swap questions. 

For the most part, we will be using the same guidelines and procedures as in Round Four - we ask that you fill out a sign-up sheet as this will help facilitate the box lists and tiers creation process. 

How to Sign Up:

Sign-ups will be open for two(2) weeks from:

Monday March 10, 2014 5pm PST to Monday March 24, 2013 5pm PST. 

  1. Fill out the sign-up form: http://goo.gl/SHLS8D
  2. Come back to this forum and post that you have completed the sign-up form. 

Qualifying and Box Tiers:

Same as Round Four. We'll be grouping members into tiers based on activity here on MuT. If you are not ok with this, please do not sign up. This is to protect participants from losing out if a box happens to stop moving. This is also the easiest way for us to insure that everyone gets a chance to participate. If you are not ok with being grouped with people with similar feedback, number of posts, and length of membership here at MuT, then please do not sign up. During round Four(4), we only had one box go MIA, and it was actually a box from a very seasoned swap tier. (The box-starter was eventually made whole with samples from other boxes). 

To participate you need to be:

  • Located in the US
  • Willing to pay for shipping on the box (USPS medium flat rate box ~ $11-$12)
​

And also at least one of the three:

  1. Have at least Two(2) Positive feedback, have 100+ MUT posts, and have been on MUT since October 2013 OR
  2. Successfully participated in a circular swap, have 100+ MUT posts, and have been on MUT since October 2013  OR
  3. Or have at least Seven (7) Positive feedback.

Tentative swapping tiers are: 

In general, swapping tiers are determined as a combination of region, MUT trading feedback, posting, and membership history on MUT. Tiers are subject to change based on number and type of sign-ups. There may be multiple box lists running in each tier. Please keep in mind the tiers are more guide lines than strict rules. We'll obviously keep in mind extenuating circumstances, outstanding amounts of feedback or exceptional participation within MUT.

Rules during the swap:

  1. As soon as you receive the box, send an email to [email protected], or a PM to your swap-box leader that you received it. Box location and status will be tracked closely!
  2. Send the sample box on within 3 business days. If you keep the box longer than 7 days and do not have a believable extenuating circumstance or do not contact us, you will not be allowed to participate in future circular swaps. 
  3. As soon as you send the box on, email [email protected] with the delivery confirmation number. Again, if you do not send the confirmation number, you will not be allowed to participate in future swaps.
  4. Not a rule, but as a courtesy, you should comment, post picts, etc.! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
  5. If you'd like to post trader feedback for the swap participant directly before or after you in the swap, please feel free to do so. And if you are in a tier where the box went missing in action (MIA), it is your duty, as a participant in that tier, to leave negative trader feedback for the circular swap member that went missing. 

And that’s it! If you have any questions, please ask them in the questions thread (search for "Circular Swap Round 5 Discussion & FAQ"), as this thread is ONLY for commenting that you’ve signed up. 

We look forward to swapping with you this round!
