Tea swap # 2

Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:Taina (contact)
Swap categories: Food 
Number of people in swap:27
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:October 10, 2006
Date items must be sent by:October 20, 2006
Number of swap partners:3
Description:

This swap is international and for swapping teabags. We did this first time in September and now it´s already time for signing up in October´s swap :)

Everyone sends at least 6 different teabags to 3 different partners and receives the same amount of teabags. This shouldn´t be too expensive for people like me, who just can´t afford sending tea mugs abroad, but would like to try new tea flavours :) Try to find some local teas if possible, so the partners receive something they haven´t tried before!

I´m warning that I might ban those people from this swap, who got bad ratings in the previous swap. (I read the ratings of the participants in this swap and I will ban also people, who have ratings under 4, sorry!)

Happy swapping to everyone!

I've sent my teas today, unfortunately Canada Post wouldn't put real stamps on it, because it was considered "Oversized Letter" and a pre-printed label prints the same time as the stamp label. Sorry :-(

lamazon 10/12/2006 #

I've also send my teas today with real stamps :o)) Thank you all for the real stamps . Jennie thank you for trying !!!

Thanks again! :) Renae :)

Storme 12/ 4/2006 #

oh, this is so sad, I just received my pkg of tea back that I sent to Jennie Devine... it was unclaimed at the post office. I've tried emailing you Jennie, but it just gets sent back saying your message box is full. Please email me if you would like to get this pkg!
