Description:

I'm sure you've seen the "cram" swaps for flat-rate boxes (USPS) but they are always the larger sizes!! Those always intimidate me in size and shipping cost.

So, this one is for the "little guy"... the one thats the size of "about 3 stacked DVD cases", according to USPS. The actual size is: 5 3/8 in. by 8 5/8 in by 1 5/8 in. These are free to get from your local post office.

What to cram in it: "almost" ANYTHING!! Take a peek at your partners profile and make it PROFILE SPECIFIC. Obviously don't send trash but share from your stash of whatever it is that you have lying around that your partner might also enjoy. Base it on color? or craft? or whatever else you see fits.

  • Clean items: Yes
  • New in package items: Yes.
  • Gently used items: Yes.
  • Garbage or something you would otherwise "toss". A BIG FAT NO!!!

You can send "anything" (up to 70lbs!!) in that "lil guy" and only pay $4.95 to send it w/in the US. If there is an interest I'll make another swap. The same size box is only $10.95 to Canada and Mexico (up to 4lbs) and $12.95 everywhere else but THIS SWAP IS US, only.

For this swap please have a rating of at least 4.8. I can't say no recent 1s or 3, because I myself have them but I will be checking profiles, making sure there are ideas of things there to send and blocking people (w/ notice first) at my own will.

Only other requirement: Please send a note w/ the package that (at least) includes: Your name, your swap name and the name of the swap. This will help both you and your partner. Your partner to know where such a lovely package came from and you, so to be able to be rated.

I am new to Swap-Bot and would love to join this swap. How can someone new gain ratings?

I am new to Swap-bot, but if you need more people, I would love to join.

coolmom45 -- Depends on what your partner might enjoy. I've edited the swap to mention that.

NessaMarie and riegerse -- I plan on hosting this swap again, soon. Check out some of the swaps that are for "newbies". How? On the right near the top, it says "find swaps". Then choose the category "newbies". Join some of those. Send them out. Get some ratings and you'll be able to join a lot more swaps.

I'd love to participate in this swap. But I'm new to the site. I can offer my ebay feedback score as a kind of references or link you to swaps on LJ that I've done.

I'll understand if you'd rather not include me, but this swap sounds too fun to miss.

Thanks for your consideration!
