Secret Santa 2013
It's back for 2013! The rules are essentially the same as in 2012 with only a couple of minor changes/additions.
Secret Santa rules:
- Sign ups for Secret Santa will begin November 1, 2013 and last through November 15, 2013. This is a two week window to sign up. (May be extended to November 22, 2013 depending on how many people sign up.)
- After signing up please PRIVATE MESSAGE me your personal information (name, address and country) no later than November 16, 2013 so I can share that info with your Secret Santa on November 16, 2013. Your Secret Santa will be assigned to you on that date.
- Please indicate if you're unable to ship to a foreign country.
- If you have an allergies please make sure to let me know in your PM so I can inform your Secret Santa.
- Gifts must be sent out between December 1, 2013 and December 16, 2013. This gives members approximately a two week window to shop or place an order. (If deadline is extended this will also be extended several days. To be determined.)
- Shipping priority is not mandatory but for most it may be the best option since it includes a tracking #. If you use Paypal to ship there are 1st class options that may be less expensive and will typically include free tracking.
- A tracking # is not mandatory when mailing within the US to another US address however it is highly recommended for your own records. If shipping from the post office and you ship 1st class I think it's an 80 cent add on. (It's part of Paypal's shipping option.) You don't have to give the gift recipient the tracking # as it's more for your own records.
Note: International traders, tracking may or may be available.
- Total gift value should be approximately $25 (give or take $5).
- Item(s) must be NEW and never used, swatched or opened.
- Open to international traders HOWEVER note that gift receiver is responsible for any import fees, duties or taxes (if any). Also international shipping takes longer - up to 12 weeks depending on where the person lives and how it was mailed.
- Once you sign up please do not back out as it will cause problems with the assignment list.
- Please identify your USERNAME to the person you're giving a gift to avoid any confusion.
General rules:
- Members who participate must have a minimum of 50 posts.
- Must be a member of MUT for at least one month (since October 1, 2013).
- Members must be in good standing with no serious infractions and/or no negative trade ratings.
Edited: I've extended the deadline to December 16 since December 15, 2013 is a Sunday.
