Description:
This is the international version, for those who are even more daring. This'll be even more experimental, as we test whether or not we can send a message-in-a-bottle internationally. The first swap like this was so fun! So, here's a chance to receive an actual message-in-a-bottle in your mailbox. Yes, I'd like for us to actually mail empty plastic water bottles with a pen pal letter or other message of at least 1-page inside the bottle. Don't pack it in a box. You glue the mailing label on the plastic bottle. Put the stamps on the bottle. Make sure the bottle is totally dry inside before using it. The postage within the US was under $1 for most of us. Not sure what the postage will be overseas, but I'm sure some of us are daring enough to find out. To be on the safe side, no one with 2 or more NO SENDS or a rating under 4.50 If you think you can explain your rating or no sends, please send me a PM. Sorry to have to set these rules, but it's no fun if someone doesn't receive something

i was thinking about something like this just the other day!! glad someone with more swap bot experience has been able to organise it tho!!

i was thinking about this last night..... do we wrap the bottle like you would a normal package in brown packing paper? i was thinking about decorating my bottle - but then i thought if its not wrapped up after the decoration will surely just brush/wipe/knock off.....

any thoughts?

I hope it's OK if I join the US and International swap...if that's a problem, let me know.

niecedenise 03/25/2007 #

Im in both. And im not wrapping it up. Then it wouldnt be like mailing a bottle.

Ah, um. I had problems at the post office.... :/ Next time I won't click "send" until it's actually "gone." But I'm trying really, really had to explain this one...to Ms. Postworker.
