:smile83:The Crayola Color Factory :smile83:
Choo Choo!
3 Weeks.
6 assigned envies.
25 coupons each.
Open to any member of the Trader group with 5 unique feedbacks and no negative!
This train requires some creativity.
Come along for the ride if you are a kid at heart!
Here’s the ride:
After reading this WHOLE THREAD and making sure you understand all the rules, here's how to sign up for this train.
1. Post a reply below telling me not only that you want a ticket.
2. Then send me a PM with the following:
* “Crayola Color Factory” in the title
* your full name
* your mailing address
* a link to your wishlist (the link in your siggy is fine if it's up to date)
*Please note: you can only ride up to three trains (including conducting) at a time at HCW. If you are already on three trains, don’t sign up. You can catch the next one!
*This train has three mailing days:
* Week one: Friday, Sept. 18
* Week two: Friday, Sept. 25
* Week three: Friday, Oct. 2
*There is no limit on the number of riders for this train.
I will take all riders who are members of the Trader group, have 5 unique and no negative feedback and sign up by NOON EST on WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16.
I will post the matchups and send a mailing list via PM to all riders by Thursday morning.
*On each of the three mailing dates, you will mail out two envies to the two riders you are assigned… So, you will be mailing a total of 6 assigned envies over 3 weeks. You will also receive 6 envies from other train riders over 3 weeks.
*Each envie will be a 25-coupon potluck. See additional info below for guidelines about what you should and should not include.
THE CREATIVE PART:
IN EACH ENVIE YOU SEND: You must include a note with a name of a new Crayola crayon color you create. It can be something gross (like Puke Green), something fun (like Big Bird Yellow) or something pretty (like Magnolia White).
But here's the catch... for each color you make up, you must include a coupon in your potluck that corresponds with your color!
So for Magnolia White, maybe I would include a Martha White baking mix coupon. For Big Bird Yellow, I might include a coupon for Tyson chicken. Or for Puke Green, I might include a Green Giant vegetable coupon.
As you receive envies, you must not only report them as received but also share the person's color/coupon combination.
***NOTE THAT ENVIES THAT DO NOT INCLUDE THE NOTE AND COUPON WILL NOT COMPLETE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS TRAIN! ****
In order to take this ride:
*You must be a member of the Trader group on HCW and have 5 unique and NO negative feedback ratings.
*You must be able to mail envies on the mailing dates given. On my trains, I like to limit confusion, so no early mailing, please!
*You must be able to send out 150 quality coupons. That's 25 coupons inside each of the 6 envies.
*I’d like to give folks a chance to use the coupons before they expire. So please send coupons that have at least two weeks before they expire.
*You must have a posted, updated wishlist to ride.
When you take a ticket, you are agreeing to:
*…mail the envies as described above.
*…write your user name, “Crayola Color Factory” AND the Week on the outside of each envie you send.
*…post promptly in this thread when you send and when you receive envies.
*… remail your envie if it has not been received at the two week point. Joining this train means you agree to this rule. Please remember, that when you sign up to join a train, not only are you agreeing to the specific guidelines of that train but the train rules as posted HERE in general. Failing to follow the rules of the trains or not sending an envelope falls under a bad trade. You can be reported for this and be listed as a bad trader.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE: If you are the receiving end of an envie and have not posted that you have not received it by the two-week mark, it will automatically be considered received and marked received.
Additional fine print:
*No baby, no meds, no booze and no oddball products that very few members use unless you have an exact wishlist match. In other words, no junk!
*Limit of one copy of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wishlist. An EXACT match is exactly that… if I say on my wishlist 75/1 Superpretzels, 50/2 is NOT an exact match. If you have and exact wishlist match, then duplicates are encouraged!
*You can always send more than 25. If you want to include more than one of a certain coupon, or some with a short expiration date, that is OK, but it has to be above the 25 coupon minimum. And if you do send extras, watch your postage!
*Printables, store-specific coupons, BTFE, Campbell’s Labels, Coke Codes, Pepsi Codes, etc., are great to send if the member can use them.
*Rebates and TMF forms are GREAT to include (just be sure they can be used in the state the receiver is in!).
*If for any reason you mail out late (life happens), post in the thread when it went out so your receiving rider can watch for it.
*Please leave feedback for fellow riders who send to you!
*Please also note that this is a potluck train! I hope that riders will try to match the wish lists of their assigned recipients, but just do the best you can. As long as you adhere to the other rules about expiration dates, minimum number of coupons and mailing on the mailing dates, you should be fine.
*You can always PM the member directly if you have questions about what they can or cannot use.
*And finally, if you have questions about the progress of this train or whether a trader sent you an envie that does not meet the requirements for this train, you can always contact me.
WHEW! OK, if you made it through all that and would like to ride, send me that PM and post below!
