March 2018 Secret Pal Swap
This is a monthly secret pal swap. There is a sign up every month, and you can
choose whether or not to participate each month. You will get a different partner
every month, and the person you send to will be different than the person you
receive from. Failure to send you package after signing up will be cause to be banned from all
future swaps.
After receiving your Secret Pal’s details, go to work and put together a package with
something you think your pal would like. There is a $10.00 limit on this swap that does not
include what you have in your stash. Most swappers do not mind like-new stash items.
You will need to send ME a PM when mailing and receiving. Also send a PM to your SP
thanking them. This way I can keep my records straight. You also should take pictures and post
in group.
Packages need to be mailed out by March 15th, this is a Firm deadline. All International mailings
must be mailed by March 10th FIRM. If you know that you cannot mail by that date, Please Do
Not Sign Up.
For international mailing it is very important that you mark your parcel as a 'Gift'. Usually on the
Customs Declaration there's a box you can check. Also, the value should be $10 only (even if
you send diamond necklace).
The person receiving the package is liable for Import Duty, Tax and a Handling fee. This can
cost the person receiving as much as $40.
As an aside, padded envelopes are much cheaper to send compared to small boxes. I'm not sure if
that's true for every carrier or not.
Our International board members are welcome to join the swap.
