The Big October Express

Five Weeks
Two Envies Per Week
40 coupons per Envie

Remember, you can only ride up to 3 trains at a time at HCW. If you are already on 3, you can catch the next one!

I love couponing in the fall. All the food sales are starting and everyone is getting ready for the holiday deals. So, to help everyone get stocked up with coupons to do all the great deals that are coming up, I thought it would be a fun idea to have a train running for the month of October.

The details:

This train will have mailout dates of October 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th. Coupons must have expiration dates no earlier than three weeks from the date that you mail. So, Week One Envies should expire no ealier than 10/22, Week Two - 10/ 29. Week Three - 11/5, Week Four - 11/12, Week 5 – 11/ 19.

I will post matchups in the thread by Monday of each week. All envies are to be mailed by Thursday of each week.

You will mail out two envies per week for a total of 10 envies sent. You will be mailed 2 envies per week for a total of 10 envies received.

You will post in the thread when you mail and who you mail to.

I will take up to 20 riders who sign up by this Saturday, September 26th at midnight.

Please write your username and train name on each envie.

If, after reading the rules below, you want to join the train, here's how:


Post here that you are interested in riding and then immediately pm me your name, address, and this Please include the name of the train in the subject line of the pm.
If you pm me and don't post here, you will not ride. If you post here and don't pm me, you will not ride. If you pm me but don't include , you will not ride. Having these rules in place helps to make sure that all the train riders have read and are ready to follow all the rules.

To Join:

You must be an iTrader with at least 10 unique feedbacks & have no negative ratings.

You must be able to mail envies on the mailing dates given.

You must post when you mail and when you receive. Report a missing envie within two weeks of the date it was posted as mailed. After two weeks from the mailing date, any envies that are not reported as received in the train thread will be ASSUMED to have been received unless they are reported as missing.

You must be able to send out 400 quality coupons. This is 40 coupons inside each of your 10 envies.

You must have a posted, updated wishlist to ride.

Rules/guidelines:

No baby, no pet, no meds, no booze and no oddball products that very few members use like depends unless you have an exact wishlist match. In other words, no junk!

Limit of 1 of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wishlist. If you have and exact wishlist match, then duplicates are encouraged! For example: an exact match is .75/1 Sweet Baby Rays. Send multiples. The following is NOT exact match: member has "bbq sauce"

You can always send more than 40. If you want to include more than 1 of a certain coupon, or some with a short expiration date, that is ok to do, but it has to be above the 40 coupon minimum.

Printables are great to send, but only if the member states in their WL that they can use them.

Store specific coupons are only ok if they are on the member's wishlist.

BTFE's, Campbell's Labels, Coke Codes, Pepsi Codes are all great to include if they are wishlist items.

Rebates and TMF forms are GREAT to include (just be sure they can be used in the state the receiver is in!).

Please leave feedback for members who mail to you

If for any reason, any of your envies are not received, you will be asked to remail at the 2 week point. Joining this train is your agreement to this rule. Please remember, that when you sign up to join a particular 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.

If for any reason you mail out late, please post in the thread when it went out so your receiving rider can watch for it.

Please note if you have issues with your received envies: If you PM me to complain about an envie having multiples, or short dated q's, or nothing from your wishlist, etc. Please re-read the rules. Count the coupons sent. If there are more than 50 count the ones within the rules, if there are 50, the rest are extras. If not a single q in the envie is from your wishlist, but they are within guidelines, so be it. This train is potluck. The hope is that we will all make up the best envelopes possible for each other, but some may not have q's from your wishlist.
