It's Christmas in July! PACKAGE TRAIN
It’s Christmas In July!!
A fun way to make another SC member’s July!
RIDERS MUST:
1. Have a Trade Rating of 25 (these ratings cannot be from all VWT’s or RAOKS) and 200 posts on SC
2. Have no negative ratings (exceptions may be made if they are over one year or at the moderator's discretion – no exceptions will be made if these ratings came from package trains)
3. Be an active member of SC
4. Not be riding any other package train
6. Gift cards are cheaply mailed, true, but they are just not as fun to open. For this reason, this year we have decided that gift cards may be sent as an addition to your gift, but your gift MUST be a selection from your Valentine’s wishlist. This is a fun exchange, so please do your best to make it fun for your SECRET SCer!
7. You must send your gift sent by February 1st AND be available to pick up your gift when it arrives at the post office.
8. You must not tell the person you are sending to that you are their buddy until the gift has arrived. It makes it a fun surprise!
To Request a seat you must post this in the thread "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”
**You also must list any other trains you are currently riding!***
All requests must be approved by a moderator.
You must PM your wishlist before boarding closes on June 18th, 2016. Your wishlist must have at least 30items that are easy to find and affordable including some Christmas items.
Send your wishlist with the title: Christmas in July Package Train- YOUR USERNAME
Please don’t forget to include the following info with your wishlist.
SC Name:
Real Name:
Full Address:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Pets:
Kids/Ages:
Allergies:
Most Wanted Item(s):
Link to your coupon wishlist if you have one:
Your full name is needed for Canada Post in case you have to pick up your parcel, please make sure that you include your full mailing address including postal code
Rider Responsibilities:
- The Send Date is: July 2nd, 2016– Which means you MUST mail on or before that day – No exceptions.
- You MUST send 6 full sized items plus a Christmas item - preferred that most items are wishlist but make your wishlist easy to help with this!
- You must post a minimum of 3 days per week during this train (but you can post as much as you like).
- Mandatory posts must include a post for each of the following: Requesting seat ~ Confirmation of sending ~ Confirmation of receiving/Thank You
- 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.
- All items must be in new/unused condition (other than gently used movies, books, games, etc.).
- Liquids must be wrapped well to prevent leaking and ruining the package (a ziploc works well)
- Glass items must also be well wrapped and protected to prevent breaking and ruining the package
- $2+ items (from wishlist) are considered full size items
- $1, $1.25, $1.50 items, samples, trial & travel size items are considered extras
Please also keep in mind that since you will be sending actual packages that shipping will cost more than regular coupon trains (on average about $10-$20). If you do not have CP’s Venture One card you may want to look into it. It’s free and anyone can join, you can use your SC name as the "business"- it includes tracking and insurance so you will not have to pay extra for these
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING ALL RULES
- If you do not follow ALL of the above rules, you will be excluded from riding one future package train and WILL receive neutral feedback
- Repeat/Second offences 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.
**Disclaimer: Smart Canucks Owner, Mods, Admin and/or Train Conductor is not responsible for lost, stolen, mislabeled, damaged, unsatisfactory or unsent packages. Tracking numbers are mandatory (unless hand delivered). *
