Contact us part THREE!!! - Ride Complete!!

[chitownmelli]

I know, I know - I said I wasn't going to conduct any more trains until I got back from vacation, but she talked me into it lol! You all know who she is right? LOL!!!

So, this is rather simple train - We will take sign ups until April 17th at noon central time, match ups will be out by Sunday the 18th, and mail outs will be every Tuesday (early is fine as long as you post) for the next 3 weeks. So, April 20th and 27th and then May 4th - unless everyone feels like mailing again in time for the 11th, you can send me birthday cards to come home from vacation to mwa ha ha ha ha!!! You will mail to the same two people each week for the sake of keeping it simple.

This is a contact us train, so you must commit to contacting at least one company each day weather it be by email, phone or postal mail to compliment or complain if needed (!!!!!) about a product and ask to be added to their mailing list for coupons. And in the spirit of getting really cool coupons in the mail, you must include at least 3 non insert q's in your envies. (they can be any non inserts, they don't have to be home mailers, so things like tearpads, peelies, etc will be fine)

For those who like to keep track of who they have contacted and the response they have received, please feel free to do so, you may keep a running list in your sign up post (just edit it to make any changes each day) - this way we don't have to sift through so many posts to do updates. It is not a requirement that you do that, but it has proven to be quite helpful to other members (looking for ideas) when we share who we have contacted.


Who can join, and what are the train rules?

Anyone who is a member of the trader group and has an itrader rating of 5 or higher with no negatives or neutrals may join.

You may ride up to 5 trains at a time @ HCW, so if you are already on 5, hope to catch you next time!

You must post when you mail and when you receive. This is a requirement to ride this train.

You do not need a wish list posted in the wish list forum to ride, just remember, if you don’t have a list, you will receive a potluck from your buddies, so if that’s okay with you, it’s okay with me! If your list is very short and specific, other train riders will have a harder time matching your list and you will probably receive a lot of pot luck q’s.

This train is potluck which means you may not get 25 coupons from your WL in each envie, however ~ we should use our buddy’s wishlist as a starting point and then add potluck after we have matched the best we could to their list, this way, people get more of what they need.

Of course the forum rules apply to all trains conducted on HCW, so please be sure you know the rules before you sign up.
Feedback is never required, but is always appreciated.



Rules/guidelines for envies:

25 coupons minimum in each of your envies. extras are great, Please remember to check your postage. Some coupons are heavier than others. All coupons must have at least 2 weeks until exp from mail date unless they are extra or you OK’d it with the person you are sending to.

No baby, pet, meds, or oddball products that very few members use like depends unless you have an exact wl match. Example: If someone says they can use cat food frees, do not include regular cat food, unless it is an extra.

A junk envie will require an immediate remail.

Limit of 2 of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wish list. If you have an exact wish list match, then duplicates are encouraged!!! Again, more than 2 of something is OK if its "extra"
You must write the train name and your user name somewhere on the envie.

Some other things that you can include IF your buddy says they can use them:


Printables, store specific, BTFE, CLFE, Pampers Points, Coke codes, Pepsi codes, MIR and TMF forms (check the state restrictions), stickers, other items that your buddy collects.

If you happen to mail out late for any reason, please PM me and post to the thread so that your buddy knows to watch for the envie. Life happens and it’s okay, communication is very helpful in the event of a late mail.

If for any reason, any of your envies are not received, you will be asked to re mail at the 2 week point. Joining this train is your agreement to this rule. Any envie that is not reported as “not received” by the two week point will be marked received.

TO JOIN:
Post to the thread to reserve your seat and then please PM me with your mailing addy and wishlist link. I will send out one address list after I have them all, and we can get started!

HAPPY CHOO CHOO!!!!
