BPAL Swap circle -- made it back home!

[zianuray]

I'm ready to start another BPAL circle-swap (if that's what it's called) where I send a box to someone, they take some and put some back, and eventually it gets back to me. 

To keep it manageable time-wise, maybe 6 people besides me, and USA-only. 

Please leave a link to your feedback at BPAL_feedback, forum feedback, ebay, swap-bot, and/or anything else -- no feedback at all = not too likely unless someone known to me vouches for you.

ETA:  Feedback should show a reliable shipper / seller /swapper -- prompt payment IS important, but not enough by itself to say that one would be able to send out a reasonably packed box in good time.

Rules --
Take something(s), put back something(s) of equal value.
Primarily BPAL, but not limited to.
Package securely.
Ship with DC.
Post DC# to the comments in this post and email it to the next person on the list.
Ship in a reasonable amount of time -- not more than a week in one place.
GC/LE/DC all ok.  IRS not ok.



I'll start off with at least a half-dozen vials and possibly a bottle or two.
Also there may be soaps, lip balms, or other trinkets.  Yes, I'm a packrat.

Me me me me me! please. I had so much fun with this last year!

[zianuray.livejournal.com]

Please drop an email to FifthHouse at gmail dot com with your address and your preferred email address -- I'm going to try to get this out Monday morning!

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

Hey, either I or my local post office may be to blame for the delay in you receiving the swap box. In order to make it up to you -- and SOME kind of box will be going out to you by Saturday -- do you have a wishlist posted anywhere?

[softlywhispered.livejournal.com]

No No wish list, but I like just about everything, save French love. I have lots of imps from other dealers now, so everything is good. *chuckles* So whatever you like.. I'll be happy with.

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

Mailed today. DC #: 0496 9009 0930 1010 0241

[zianuray.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[softlywhispered.livejournal.com]

Received today, but no list as to who gets the box next! :) Filled with ALL sorts of goodies, too. Thank you. Now to see what to take and what to send.

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

Gah, I can't believe I did that! I have the list on email. PMing you with it now.

[gypsyjolie.livejournal.com]

Ooh, me! Love these swap boxes :)

Hon, did the swap package get there safely? The DC says it arrived, but we haven't heard from you!

[gypsyjolie.livejournal.com]

Yes, Sorry, I had my step-daughter here for two weeks and life as I know it stopped happening... The swap box arrived and I have it ready to mail out to morpheus0013 first thing in the morning :)

[morpheus0013.livejournal.com]

Oh, me! I love these, and I'm a fellow packrat. =)

Ebay feedback is here (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=morpheus013&ftab=AllFeedback), and I participated in a similar swap earlier this summer. I can dig up the link to my receipt and re-send comments if you like.

[morpheus0013.livejournal.com]

Done!

[malruniel11.livejournal.com]

If there's still room, I'd love to do it! I love circle swaps!

[malruniel11.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, feedback. I knew I was keeping the window open for something!

There's also eBay and forum feedback if you want me to dig out those links, i can!

I see the DC is listed as having the swap-circle package at your place almost a month ago, but I don't see an update from you -- when will it be going back out, please? and don't forget to post the DC here and send it by email to me and the next person on the list -- frolicnaked !

[malruniel11.livejournal.com]

I sent it on to frolicnaked the next day. I'm not sure where my comment with the DC# went, but it's obviously not there now. I'm sorry! Frolicnaked should have had it weeks ago! I will do what I can to replace it if it can't be found, since I don't have the DC slip anymore (I moved quite suddenly a couple weeks ago, and since it was marked delivered on USPS website, I threw it away.)

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

I'm checking out stuff on my end. Apparently, there is the significant possibility that it was delivered to the city post office, but then not to the correct "outlet station." (There is probably a real term for it, instead of the one I just now made up.) I have plans to take this up at my city PO on Monday.

That said, if all else fails, I have literally 3 swap boxes full of stuff (left over from the summer swap circles) that I do not want and need to rehome. While I'd love to find the correct swap box (because that's sort of the point of the swap circle), if that can't happen -- I think it makes the most practical sense for me to replace stuff.

[malruniel11.livejournal.com]

If you can't find it, I can also send on some swap fodder for you (so you have some few things to go through as is the spirit of the swap.) I don't have as much as was in the package, but I can provide some stuff for you! I'm so sorry that it didn't arrive at your home like I thought it had! And it's my fault for not double checking that the DC# got posted in here so we could all track it!

I hope the PO has an answer for you on Monday. I know mine had a package hiding for me in the back for well over a week and they hadn't put a package slip in my box to let me know. I only knew it had to be there because the guy who sent it for was asking what I thought of it, since I'd had it since the 4th according to the DC#, so some screw ups do happen. I'm sorry for the headache!

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

Can I go? While I was sending swaps around, my imp box at home bred.

I have feedback here (http://community.livejournal.com/bpal_feedback/173961.html) and under frolicnaked on the forum.

Did the package from malruniel arrive? If so, when will it be going back out?

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

No, it didn't. I got an email from her... nearly a month ago... but no package.

[zianuray.livejournal.com]

Did that email have the tracking number? I was supposed to get a copy of the DC, but it never arrived.

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

No. Though it says "I have sent the Circle Swap package on to you" and is dated 9/17, suggesting it was already mailed then. (And that it should be here now.)

Which, I can hound my local PO tomorrow, I think. And the city station maybe Saturday, if it comes to that. City especially is known for sending things to the wrong local outpost station, for whatever reason.

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

PS -- Sorry for not contacting you sooner. With no package actually arriving, it sort of slipped my mind to expect one!

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

Update: Rumor has it that it may be in my city somewhere, but I need to check with the city center PO manager on Monday to sort this out.

Worst case scenario: I have leftovers from the circle I ran this summer and can replace everything if need be. (Obviously, not exactly, but I have some empty boxes and smelly stuff cascading out of boxes and off shelves. I can make up a box to pass on.)

Can I let you know what's up Monday night?

[zianuray.livejournal.com]

Monday is fine -- I'm just sorry I didn't catch the time-gap sooner! I hope your PO has it on a shelf somewhere :)

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

Well, eff. City PO knows nothing. I do have them calling all the other outpost stations in the city to see if it misdelivered by mistake. (I am their Favorite Person right now, so very much.) If something turns up by Friday, I will let you know and will send that.

But let's have the plan right now be for me to box up some of my swap circle leftovers (Please! My books want their bookshelves back) and send it on Saturday. So I should reply here on Saturday with a DC.

Hi..I see a spot left and was wondering if it was too late to join. I just have one question..

"GC/LE/DC all ok. IRS not ok."

What is IRS?

I'm trocarnoir on the forum and have feedback there.

I'm bad_gorilla on eBay http://myworld.ebay.com/bad_gorilla
