Halloween Package Train

[chesterjes]

A BE”WITCHING” BUT “BOO”TIFUL PACKAGE TRAIN

To join you must have met the following:

-When requesting a seat, you must include the following statement with a list of what trains you are on/running:

• "I have read and understand all the Package Train Rules/Guidelines. I understand if I do not follow the guidelines my name will be added to to the consequence list in the sticky and may be banned from riding future package trains”

-You must wait for Fallenpixel's approval before you are considered a rider,once approved please send me your wishlist and address in the same pm within 24hrs.


Remember when composing your wishlist the more you have on there, the easier it is for your buddy to pick items. If your Wishlist is to small and particular I will pm you and ask you to revise it.

-No negative ratings. Exceptions can be made at the moderators discretion.
-You must provide a tracking number and insure the package for the value of its contents.
-It is in your responsibility to post in the thread.
You must have aminimum of 50 posts and be an active smartcanucks member.
-You must have a trade rating of 25.
-You must post a minimum of 10 times plus requesting a seat and thanking your buddy to a total of 12.

-You must mail by the stated date


Please note that package trains MUST have tracking unless delivered in person. Package mail can cost $10-20 dependent on weight and size. You are responsible for mailing, sending from a store does not have the same feeling as opening hand packaged items and you cannot ensure they mail on time.



-If sending liquids, they must be sealed in a ziploc bag (if they leak the package will not be ruined)

-$2+items (from wishlist) are considered full size items

-$1/$1.25/$1.50items, samples, trial & travel size items are considered extras

You will be sending a minimum of 6 items to your buddy with one being a Halloween themed item. Also please send your buddy a bag of treats cause thats what Halloween is for (treats don’t have to be candy ie. Kcups, assorted teas, pencils etc)


CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING ALL RULES

• If you do not follow any of the above rules, you will be excluded from riding one future package train and will receive neutral feedback
• Repeat/Second offenses will also mean you are excluded from at least two package trains and possibly all future package trains
• If you do not send a gift, you will be excluded from all future package trains
• If you do not send a gift, you will receive two negative ratings. One from your buddy and the other from the conductor.
• If you do not communicate with the moderators regarding why the gift was not received, you may also receive a trading ban at the Trade Mod's discretion.

Explanation of a Package Train

-You sign up and send a wishlist of items you would like
-You are paired with a buddy and sent their wishlist, questions are also asked in the thread so you can find out more about your buddy
-You send a package to one person and someone (it is likely different than the person you are sending to) sends to you
NOTE:postage will be more expensive than regular trains, often $10-15 but as high as $30 if sending out of province on bigger trains



Remember when composing your wishlist the more you have on there, the easier it is for your buddy to pick items. If your Wishlist is to small and particular I will pm you and ask you to revise it.

I am out of town tomorrow. If approved I will get my info to @chesterjes for Friday. It will be great to catch up with you all again. I have a few threads I frequent and chatter on. Adding variety is good. I thought of a good buddy question in the car today.
