Hi gang!

Want to start thinking about another round of our circular swap for this spring?

I was thinking we could shoot for staring the middle of April? To allow time for any March and some April boxes/subs to arrive. Or sooner if you are like me and already have a stash of stuff to start swapping?

Anyway let's get interest and sign up rolling and I'll repost the rules below, same as last time.

 
Circular Swap rules:

  • Everyone must be willing to pay for the shipping of the box to the next person, with tracking and you must communicate with the group (box arrive, shipping, tracking number, what you took, what you added etc.) that not only helps everyone keep and eye on things but keeps things fun! 
  • Make a Post in this thread as soon as you get the box. 
  • Please mail the circular swap box within 5 days, taking longer than 5 days (without any communication with the group will probably result in being excluded from future swaps). The 5 days *includes* Saturdays but doesn't include Sundays or USPS holidays.
  • PM the next swapper in line the tracking number (again no tracking number could result in being excluded in the future)
  • Post at least one picture of items you're taking and and one picture of the items you're adding.
  • Secure post-it note on items that have been used/opened or swatched. 
  • No nail polish/perfumes or flammables, as they are required to go ground.


Aiming start date is: Monday, April 17, 2017 (tentative)

Also: If you wish to be part of this round of the Circular Swap, be sure you are an active member of MUT   ;)Please note that to be eligible to participate in circular swap we require:

  • minimum of 50 legitimate posts,
  • no warnings,
  • minimum of 30-days as a member before the start date of the swap, and
  • swappers MUST be active on the MUT boards within 30 days of the box starting to be eligible to participate   :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
Circular swap box process:

  1. The box starts and ends with Reija, she picks the order and mails the box to the first swapper.
  2. The first swapper in line posts here when the box arrives (note any negative condition of the box or contents. damaged box, broken items or missing box all together).
  3. Swappers have five days to sort through the box and select items to take (take as much as you desire) and items to add to the box *don't forget to add pictures here*
  4. If you do not want to take anything from the box, no problem. No need to add anything but you're welcome to add items if space permits. 
  5. Please note five swapping days is NOT business days, the five days includes Saturdays but not Sundays or holidays. If circumstances prevent you from completing a swap within 5 days please PM a moderator right away and post on the thread that you may be delayed (some reasons for delays could be: illness, work trips, vacations, snow/weather etc.) We're pretty understanding provided we have a heads up on what's going on. 
  6. Mail the box and PM the tracking number to the next swapper.
  7. Process moves the same way until the last swapper in line gets the box and Pm's Reija for return of the box. This means if you are at the end of the list or near the end you'll be waiting several weeks for the box to arrive (please be aware that's why we enforce 5 days so people in line are not waiting forever for their turn). That's not necessarily a bad thing, people add great items all along the way even at the end. I've been at the beginning, middle and end of the swap and always found items I wanted in the box.
We're not trying to overload everyone with rules but we want to be sure the process is clear from the get go, if you're not comfortable with any of the above rules or process feel free to follow the thread and see how it unfolds and consider joining us for a future swap.

Please comment on this thread if you wish to participate and start gathering up those unwanted and unloved beauty items.

I should be ready by the end of this month, Boxycharm is still languishing somewhere in Colorado and I should have my FabFitFun by the middle of April so I guess April is good for me. Actually anytime is good for me :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I'd like to participate this time. I missed the window to sign up last time.

 
Thanks for pulling the list together and organizing @@Bizgirlva! I'll do the old fashion drawing and post the order on Sunday and ship the box on Monday. Can't wait!! I have so much stuff that I don't know how I'll be able to get it all to fit but I'll do my best.

 
Working on the draw now. I'll update as soon as I have the order and post pics too. I do an old fashioned drawing with names in paper and by drawing blindly. This time I'm using the IPSY bag from last month to put the names in.  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">

Hi guys! I hope this does not throw a snag into things but I will be away from Thurs-Tues. I did not expect to be first. I can ship it back out on Wednesday after I get back (5/3) unless you guys want to switch the order? I am sorry for the snafu, I didn't expect that I would be first.
