Rounds 1 and 2 were awesome!!! So here's Round 3!! Please read the entire swap description before signing up, so that you know exactly what you are signing up for! :o) Requirements: Send your partner at least 15 used books. They can be paperback or hardback. Pack them up in a box, and send the package Media Mail rate! This swap is restricted to the United States only because the boxes will be heavy and postage would be huge for international mailing. This swap is for adult books, not children's books. Please when you sign up, post a message to the swap thread that lists what genres you like to read, and what you don't like. Your partner isn't required to send you specific titles, authors or types of books because they might not be available at their local thriftstore or used bookshop. But please --- if your partner lists that they don't like romance novels don't send them an entire box of old Harlequins. Send out a package you would enjoy receiving! You can get your books at whatever venue you prefer for used books (thrift shop, used bookstore, library sale, or your own "already read'' bookshelf)......look for books you think your partner would enjoy. PLEASE send books that aren't damaged....water damage, mold, ripped/missing/loose pages, spine damage,etc. Used condition is expected, but let's not send out obviously damaged sub-par books!!! Please use Delivery Confirmation on your package. DC provides proof of mailing (date and time) AND the tracking number makes it easier for the postal system to trace and find stray packages. Media Mail does take just a bit longer because MM is only loaded on trucks when there is extra room.....so a DC# will also let your partner know when the box is coming so he/she knows when to start stalking their mail man. :) I have received some MM packages extremely quickly so delivery time can be varied. A DC# is a way to ensure that your partner knows his/her package is on its way, even if the post office takes extra time to actually deliver it. Don't include anything in your package but the books. media mail rate packages can only include Media items like books. No notes, no tea.....nothing extra. The post office can inspect the packages to be sure they qualify as media mail. If anything is found besides books, your partner can be charged the extra postage or the package might be returned to you. Have fun picking out some really cool books for your swap pal.....don't just grab a handful of old harlequins out of a 10 cent bin and call it done. Make it fun for yourself.....and your partner! Be discriminating! PLEASE don't sign up for this swap if you are not absolutely sure you can send out a package on time. PLEASE don't flake out on your partner. PLEASE by all means join us if you LOVE to read, and LOVE finding great books at bargain prices, and if you LOVE to share books with friends! Swappers must have at least a 4.8 rating to participate in this swap. No newbies, and swappers must have ratings for package swaps (email and postcards don't count). Those who have received any unexplained 1 ratings for no-sends in the past 6 months will be removed from the swap before partners are assigned. If you have some low ratings but can explain....message me and we can talk about it. Any questions?? Message me! | |
