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 and your SP a PM when mailing and receiving. This way I can keep my records straight. You also should take pictures and post in group.

Packages need to be mailed out by April 15th, this is a Firm deadline.
All International mailings must be mailed by April 10[SUP]th[/SUP] 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.
You must have a phone # or email to sign up

Hi Verna!
Count me in again please. I'm having a ball!

Mary Christine

Verna,
I'll play again. I love this swap!
Will send info later.

Are there many people who like to swap internationally or is it a real pain? I'm happy to only swap every few months if there aren't many international swappers as I know it adds cost.

Hi, Verna. Hope you are feeling better. I am in again. I have sent my information. BrendaK

We usually have a couple of international sign up. Plus there are several here on the board that does not mind shipping international, they like getting things from different countries. Don’t feel like you have to not join just because your in a different country there will always be someone here that will love it

Thank you Brenda I thought I was doing so much better till I went bck the Dr yesterday. Am going back in for another manulpation on my knee in April.

Hi Verna, nice to see you up and "running" (ha, right!)

I'm sending mine in...you'll receive it shortly!

I do wish the people that join would be "chattier" on here....it makes it soooo much easier to get to 'know' them and really personalize the packages. But I do understand those wall-flower types, too, as my bestie is one of them!

This group use to have so much chatter on it. Alot of the people that were regulars left a couple years ago. Dont know why. I wasnt in charge of the group then.

I'll send mine in!

Red- you kick off the chatter. Name some of the fun things you have received in this swap or others!
