TRIAL SIZE ITEMS ARE WELCOME BUT UNLESS YOUR BUDDY ASKS FOR THEM THEY ARE EXTRAS. You can also peek at your Secret Mama’s Coupon Wishlist and add as an Extra… but it’s not necessary. Once, for example, I was on a Package Train and I requested a Chapman’s $5 coupon as one of my gifts… cuz you can’t send ice cream thru the mail… and I got it!

:sweet:PLEASE BE KIND
:sweet:BE CONSIDERATE
:sweet:HAVE FUN
:sweet:WISH AWAY
While Dollar Stores carry some great treasures, please don't do all your shopping there Also, again… please remember that these package trains will cost more to send.
:icon_scratch: DISCLAIMER
I as the Conductor/SC Owners/Mods are not responsible for lost/misplaced or damaged Packages...please keep your tracking numbers
Please post when you SEND your package as well as when you RECIEVE your package...Please leave feedback ratings for your buddy and the conductor, and I will do the same. Let’s keep this thread fun… feel free to post your best Mother’s Day, pictures of your gift that you receive (we all love to see what you get!).
Every rider MUST post at least 10 times throughout the Train....Once the Train has closed with all riders ready to shop :)
There will be prizes on this train, so please participate… cuz you never know!! You might win!!
;) -- YOU MUST HAVE MORE THAN 50 POSTS or have someone willing to vouch for you
;) -- ON SOME TRAINS YOU WILL NEED A HIGHER TRADE RATING AND THEY CAN'T ALL BE FROM VWLT ...THIS WILL BE DETERMINED FOR EACH TRAIN
;)-- Rider List will be checked before seat is confirmed
;)-- If you have never participated in Wish Pkge trains you will need someone on the train to vouch for you
;) -- no negative ratings **exceptions can be made given the reason/length of time of the negative rating (I often creep the Negative Trade thread!)
;) -- must advise how many other trains they are participating in when requesting a seat
;) -- may only ride 1 package train at a time ** again exceptions can be made
;) -- if you don't send a package you will receive 2 negative ratings - 1 from conductor and 1 from your buddy
;) -- you will not be able to participate in future package trains if you don't send a gift regardless of length of time
;) -- No early sending... I say this because we have had some join send their package right away and then they don't post again until they get their package...we want people to post/stay involved with the train... The ‘send date’ is April 27, so let’s stick with that date, please…..a few days early may be okay but you need to confirm this with the conductor :)
;) I will leave this train open (at the Station!) until Monday April 9th for anyone to request a seat. Please let me know before then if you’d like to ride along!! Also, get your gift ‘wishlists’ and mailing addresses (in the same PM, please… to make it easier!) This is going to be a huge train, so we’d like things to run smoothly!
;)This train may close before the set date should the rider list become to large where it could become unmanagable
:arrow: IF YOU DO NOT POST WHEN YOU SEND AND RECIEVE YOUR GIFT YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RIDE THE NEXT WISH PACKAGE TRAIN.....
:arrow: SORRY BUT I DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR NOT TO THANK THE PERSON WHO SENT YOU A GIFT OR FOR ME TO HAVE TO CHASE RIDERS TO FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE SENT OR RECIEVED A GIFT.you will have to sit the next train out if this should happen....
:arrow:ALSO, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST A PICTURE OF YOUR GIFT – WE ALL LOVE TO SEE WHAT YOU RECEIVED!
