Are you ready for another fun filled round of MOTM?? This is the Fall edition with two boxes once again making rounds through United States and Canada 🙌 A huge thank you to @itsfi and eshoe (whom I can't tag for some reason) For starting this wonderful traveling trading extravaganza!! 🤗
Below in a spoiler I will post the guidelines and the proposed travel order. ⭐⭐ Please try to keep the turnaround to a minimum of 10 days. If you are having issues with that timeframe please stay in communication so everyone is aware, and if you have any questions or concerns please pm me 😊Boxes will start moving the week of November 9 th
BIC'ers will start off the boxes and they will travel through the shipping order until they make it to the other person at the end. All participants agree to a turn-around of one week in order to keep the box moving forward.This means that once you receive the box, please select your trades, post on the thread, and ship to the next person within one week.
CA participants are welcome to join again, we just need to ensure we have enough participants willing to ship in/out of the country. This will affect shipping order; other than that, order will be tentatively arranged by region to help offset shipping costs for participants.
There will be 20 face sheet masks in the packet at all times.you can remove as many or as little as you would like; but there should always be 20 masks moving forward to the next participant. You may add in extras like eye, feet or hand masks, but they will not count toward the 20 masks (they are little bonuses😉). Let's just try to keep a good variety in the box, and if there is an ISO, please be kind and don't take it out as an extra. 'Filler' masks would be great bonus items to take out when there is an overflow. Really! Filler masks would be defined as daily masks, generally ones that can be found at TJ Maxx/Nordstrom Rack/etc. and/or are widely available.
How do I ship?Padded flat rate Priority envelopes are great for this, and can be ordered for free on the USPS site. Any packaging is fine, but please take care to ensure the masks are adequately protected. A smaller package will encourage more participation, which in turn makes things more fun! Think cost-effective for those shipping internationally.
Will this be open to US and Canada?Yes! As long as there is an interest and participants willing to ship, we would love to cross the border. This would be taken into consideration in the shipping order.
Any eligibility requirements?Anyone who is has posted regularly to the previous or current thread is eligible. In addition, if you have been involved in other thread challenges on a regular basis/BIC exchanges such as Holiday, Galentine's or Halloween/traveling boxes, you are also eligible. We love new participants, please PM me if you are interested!
Approval:To be fair, a minimum of the person receiving the box and 3-4 others will suffice. If at all possible, please take into account any ISO's or skin type when moving the box forward.
Mask Guidelines:The idea is to share your Favorite/Great Finds/Discoveries Masks. Please be considerate and keep in mind this is to give others (and yourself!) an opportunity to try some new and different masks. Let's not send gross masks/masks we just want to get rid of - this is to share our love of masking!
What happens if the box gets lost?USPS provides a $50 insured value for free. If a box is lost in transit, you are responsible for shipping an additional box to the next participant. Declaring a $50 value ensures that you would be reimbursed by USPS in the event your package is lost; however this is a lengthy process and thus it would be your responsibility to keep the flow of the boxes moving by curating a new box and shipping it out as quickly as possible.
How does the order work?We are going to try to use your location the best we can, still in process. If there are Canadian participants I would need to take that into consideration depending on how many people would be willing to ship in/out of country
Hi all! @lmaster is getting a well-deserved break for the next round, and I will be starting a new thread with a mini survey for those who are interested in joining us for the next round. It will be up sometime this weekend, so keep an eye out for it.
Many thanks and lots of love to lmaster and all you lovely maskers for keeping this box moving and grooving! You are amazing!
Thank you, @lmaster!! I appreciate the work you put in and letting me participate this round!! It was a great first experience!! Thank you, @eshoe for taking on the next round!!
Afternoon Everyone! I believe I'm the last one for this box, so without knowing who's okay with some of the more 'gross' ingredients I tried to keep my proposed in's to what most people would be okay with for the next round.
