Guidelines

Spoiler

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. 

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 😊 

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

Thank you to all the beautiful and generous maskers who have made this box so much fun. Can’t wait to see you all in the fall! 🍂

I just finished going through all of the excess masks, and have an idea to throw out there. I have not checked all dates, but many are expired/expiring. I am thinking of dividing everything equally and sending them out to everyone who was involved in the most recent exchange. If you would like me to send you a little packet, let me know. I will split everything up according to how many people decide they want to be included. Thanks again for joining in, I hope you had fun!

@haleyvvvv @laynebr @lmaster @quspork @Kim888 @rockstargina 

@missjeanie you might want to go through the box you have to see what is expiring/what has expired, too!

[haleyvvvv]

@eshoe thank so much for all of the work you put in this endeavor!! We appreciate it!!

I think divying up the expiring masks is such a great idea, thank you so much!! 

[eshoe]

Thank you for hanging in there with us, @haleyvvvv! @missjeanie is going to touch base with you sometime soon about those masks 👍🏼 

[quspork]

First, Thank You for all the work you put into this, @eshoe. We really appreciate you! 

Onto the question about the masks, I'm totally fine with whatever you want to do with this set. I know we hit a bump and that makes it hard with the ones that may be hitting their "use by" date, so I'm cool with your suggestion about just dividing everything up. Maybe it will be a silver lining and give everyone a chance to discover something they passed on thinking it might not be the best choice at the time. 

[eshoe]

Thank you for the feedback, @quspork. I agree, who knows…sometimes the passed-over ones turn out to be loves, after all. If anything, at least they will be used!

[Kim888]

That sounds fun @eshoe ! And what a good idea! 

[eshoe]

Yay @Kim888! 

[rockstargina]

Good call. I’d love a little something if that’s what you are doing. 

[eshoe]

That’s exactly what I am doing, @rockstargina ☺️ Once everyone replies? I will update!

[missjeanie]

Good call @eshoe I'll check tonight and send you a message with some info!

[eshoe]

I tried messaging everyone individually and could not send anything, @missjeanie  😕 I am randomly having difficulties responding, too - so if you don’t hear back from me right away, please know I am not ignoring you!

[missjeanie]

@eshoe I just sent you a PM with the breakdown.  It looks like it sent, but let me know if it doesn't go through!

[eshoe]

Looks like I did receive it, and was able to respond, @missjeanie 🙌🏼

[eshoe]

Thank you everyone who joined in this round for the fall motm box. Based on some unforeseen circumstances, I think it is in the best interests of the group to put this project on hold for now. I have messaged both @Kim888 and @haleyvvvv. I have been unable to reach @missjeanie and hope that life is just busy😢 I don’t want anyone to feel pressure over this, it should be a fun experience, which is why I think it is time for a break. I will keep everyone posted, but for now, I hope you all know how much I appreciate you!!! @quspork @rockstargina @lmaster @laynebr 

[laynebr]

@eshoe  We appreciate all the work you put in these boxes and the care you always handle them with. I think we can all understand you putting the box on hold for now. Hope everyone is ok, like you said we're all here to have fun so when the time is right we can always pick it up 😉 

Hope everyone is taking good care of themselves!

[eshoe]

Thank you for your understanding, @laynebr 🥰

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you for all that you do around organizing this, @eshoe!! Sorry I have been a little MIA, work is a lot right now. I hope everything is okay!! I am happy to proceed in whatever way works best for everyone!! thanks!!

[eshoe]

Thank you @haleyvvvv! I know everyone has got a lot going on right now, in one way or another. I just hope things are busy and that is all☺️

[lmaster]

@eshoe hopefully everything is ok!!

[eshoe]

Me too, @lmaster. Thank you for checking in!
