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 shipping.


Aiming start date is: Monday, July 10, 2017 (tentative)

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 mail 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 (if you haven't already) and start gathering up those unwanted and unloved beauty items.

 
Looks like a small group this time (not the order just those participating):

I'm on vacation Aug 13-18 so might have to do some arranging if I find the box is heading my way that week.

If everyone is ready I say if @@Reija can pull names out of a hat let's get this summer swap rolling! I have lots of good stuff to add, if my sister doesn't take it this weekend when she visits lol. I give her a lot of stuff so she might not even want my extras.

 
Well if @@Bizgirlva is going on vacation, why can't we send her the box first, then do a random drawing with the rest of the names? That way we'll know for sure that it won't run into her vacation time and she won't have to worry about it? Just a suggestion :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think this is a great idea! I'll do that. I'll draw the names shortly and get the box sent out tomorrow AM. I'll also take pics and post them.

I've got the names in the pouch.

 
Here are the pics. So sorry for the delay!

I wasn't going to take anything but ended up taking two little things. There were other things I would have loved to take but I'm trying to get rid off stuff and not add
