Feeling Frantic People Only Train-FULL -Pretty much done

[tacatcon]

Do you feel like you're losing your mind right about now? Then come join my train! lol

If you're not a little crazy, you need not apply!

Here's the plan:

This will be a basic train with a twist. There will be 13 riders including me. I will send one envelope from each end of the train. Rider #1 and Rider #12 will get the envelope from me. They will then take out the coupons they want, take out any expired or soon to be expireds, replace those coupons and send on to rider #2 and rider #11 respectively and so on. So we will have one train going in order 1-13 and one train going backwards 13-1. At the end I should get two trains back! Don't worry, I'll post the order!

Here's the nitty-gritty:

Train envelope will have minimum of 30 coupons/items at all times. Extras are great but check postage please! Make sure to write your username on or in the envie somewhere so you can get feedback as well as the name of our train "Feeling Frantic People Only".

In your 30 coupons/items you may include inserts, non-inserts, TMFs or MIRs (check state restrictions). Coke codes, pepsi codes, pampers codes etc. if on the person's wishlist only. Store coupons or IPs are only ok if they are on the person's wishlist. Stickers, samples, etc as extras are great!

All coupons/forms should expire no earlier than 2 weeks from when you send. So if I mail on 10/14, my coupons shouldn't expire before 10/28.

Try to match wishlists as much as you can. Realize you will not get 100% wishlist items on this train or any other. But let's all do our best. If you're in doubt if a person can use something, ask.

Also remember the new coupon database wishlists! Some of us are using both still so check both!

You may not send junk. Junk is commonly defined as coupons noone really wants like odd ball medicines, vitamins and adult diapers. If the person happens to have one of those on their wishlist by all means, send it.

No more than 2 of the same coupon unless it is an exact match to a wishlist item. By exact match I mean if I have .75/1 Powerade exp 10/31, please send multiples. But do not send me 10 .30/1 Powerades or $1/2.

You may not send anything that is prohibited by the forum rules.

By joining you agree that if your envie has not been received within 2 weeks, you will resend.

If you can adhere to these rules and are a little frenzied right now, please post here with this smilie in your post. Please make sure you're not already on 3 trains before you join. PM me your mailing info (unless you've ridden on one of my trains in the last few months) and a link to your w/l or w/l's if you have two.

We had a lot of interest so I added a few extra seats. I tried to mix you up so it'll be a good variety of coupons geographically. This will be the order of our train going 1-15. There is also a line going in backwards order 15-1 and then #1 passes it back to me, #15. So we are all getting 2 and mailing two.

I will PM addresses and wishlists links to you all. Some of you still have to give me your addresses. First trains depart on Tuesday.

Please make sure to post in the thread when you post and when you receive. And something I forgot to mention in the OP but do try to get the envelope out of your hands within 48 business hours upon receipt. Not doing so slows it down for everyone.

Thanks!!

Don't worry! You're in good company here! lol

I'll be working on the mailing order today and get this posted tonight. I'll mail out the first two envies on Tuesday. Now, everyone gets that they'll get and mail 2 envies right? One going the forwards direction and one going backwards?

If you have any questions please ask.

Let's have fun!!!

[tacatcon]

I've got an envie each ready to go out the door to Ekander and Cheynesnana. Hope you enjoy!

[tacatcon]

Just checking in if either of my envies got received yet? Ekander knows this already but hers may have been mailed without a stamp so there's a possibility it got delayed. I had a postal snafu the other day. But I know yours had postage Chey! lol

[cheynesnana]

Not yet... thought it would be here today.. hopefully tomorrow.. ;)

[ekander]

Got my envie today and sent it back out today.....Must have been the other enive that got messed up?

[cheynesnana]
