ARCHIVE: Masks on the Move!

UPDATE: The new thread is up! If you are joining in, or just prefer to sit back and watch, join @lmaster at:

Spring MOTM box will be starting in mid-February. If you are interested in joining, please take a moment to complete the brief survey below prior to January 31st. ***If you have not participated in this or other BIC traveling boxes/unicorn mail, please PM me prior to completing the survey.*** We hope to see and share masks with some new faces!!!

Some pertinent info regarding the NEW double-box-in-progess set-up:

Spoiler
We will have two boxes in process this time. We are currently discussing the box composition and will update once decided what works best for the group.

Two 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. 

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.

Thank you to all who joined in the last round, we ended up with almost quadruple the original masks, which allowed me to create two new separate boxes (I also added in the extras from the first MOTM). There will be a bag of extras as usual, you all are so generous and make this so much fun!

Looking forward to February:)

Thank you @itsfi for all of your help in setting up the framework for the MOtM, and your many helpful suggestions. The entire masking community here is grateful to you!

  1. There will be 10 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 10 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 10 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
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
  4. 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! 
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. How does the order work? I will use a random generator; 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.

 

Re: Masks on the Move!

@ShortErica I will definitely be grabbing that butt mask! I've been meaning to go to Ulta to get one but just haven't got around to it! 😂

Re: Masks on the Move!

@heartsmyface  looks great!

Re: Masks on the Move!

@emaisgr8 Yay!!!

Re: Masks on the Move!

@heartsmyface So fun! Looks good to me! 😃

Re: Masks on the Move!

Masks were sent out express post yesterday to @heartsmyface ! I’ll send you the tracking number now hearts! 

Re: Masks on the Move!

@missjeanie Ahhhhhh, I just received it!!!! Just refreshing on the rules and getting ready to post!  

Re: Masks on the Move!

lol... Canada Post's two day shipping at its finest!  I'm glad it finally made it's way to you @heartsmyface !  Excited to see what you pick!

Re: Masks on the Move!

Wow we are almost all of the way through our little circulation! You are all way too generous, lots of you have added extras without taking extras out. Which is great, but I just don't want the box to get too cumbersome for the next person to ship out, especially when it's going to another country 🙂

 

Here are my thoughts:

  • Ditch the box maybe, and just pack everything inside gallon bags inside a padded flat rate envelope. Or whatever is the most cost-effective way for those shipping internationally. This was an important factor to me in starting this off, because I think having a smaller package will encourage more participation, which in turn makes things more fun!
  • It's OK to take a one or more extras out! Everyone has been very fair and exchanged close to value. Let's just try to keep a good variety in the box, or 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. Really!

Please provide some feedback as I want to be as fair as possible to everyone. This has been SO MUCH fun, thank you all for trying this out with me. Everything has gone so smoothly 😄

love the idea for summer edition 😍🍉🍉@eshoe I'll be in...

love the idea for summer edition 😍🍉🍉@eshoe I'll be in for 2nd round

Re: love the idea for summer edition 😍🍉🍉@eshoe I'll be in...

YAY @sonnydee I was hoping you’d be up for it! I’m working on the list now. Have some new joiners and it will be it a bit bigger group so it’ll take longer to circulate this go-round😄

Re: Masks on the Move!

Tagging @ShortErica. If my memory is right, I think she was thinking she might join in on Round 2 after getting a feel for how it works this go round. @eshoe, when do you think Masks on the Move 2.0 might start up? Completely understand that it's difficult to come up with an exact date, but do you have a rough estimate?

Re: Masks on the Move!

@itsfi I’m thinking mid-June might be a good approximation. It’s been moving pretty good, going to cross the border now so that might take a little extra time. But only a couple more stops until we complete this round!

Re: Masks on the Move!

@eshoe @itsfi Maybe 3rd time will be the charm for me. I'm taking a long road trip end of June through mid July and have other travel plans this summer so I wouldn't want the box to be delayed because of me. Thanks for remembering me though. I love watching how the box has moved and will happily participate from the sidelines again. I'm not surprised it was so successful knowing the ladies who participated. 🙂

Re: Masks on the Move!

@ShortErica, would you be able to participate if you were near the end of the list? I'm in somewhat the same boat with my work travel schedule. If Masks on the Move 2.0 starts mid-June, it seems like the masks would still be moving through the second round in mid-July and by the time you're back. Just a thought. Not sure it would work for you logistically, but if it does, you could be part of round 2.

@eshoe, would this be a possibility? 

Re: Masks on the Move!

Yes, @itsfi, brilliant idea! @ShortErica how would you feel about being on the last leg of the journey, so that you could join in on the second round?

Re: Masks on the Move!

@eshoe @itsfi you are too kind and accommodating. I guess I also already know how to ship to eshoe if she's the ending point. 😉 okie dokie, I can do near the end probably. I dont have to be very end but yep, just not beginning. Thanks you guys!

Re: Masks on the Move!

Yay @ShortErica, adding you on toward the end. I think there might be more participants this next go round so it will take longer to circulate as well @itsfi.

Re: Masks on the Move!

@eshoe, that's good news! I won't have to go at the end and can be mixed in randomly now - just learned that my work trips will be for shorter periods than originally expected. So I'll only be out for a few days here and there as opposed to a week plus. Yay!

Re: Masks on the Move!

That’s fantastic @itsfi! Looking like the end of June that we get started on 2.0: the summer round 😎🏝 🍉 

Re: Masks on the Move!

@eshoe  I’m down for another round 😄 

Re: Masks on the Move!

So happy to hear, @heartsmyface - adding you in! Thanks for the great mix of masks 😊
