    Default "Easter Basket" Train ~ RIDE OVER

    Now Boarding for an up to 6 week round robin with a twist!!

    "Easter Basket"





    This will run for up to 6 weeks and I am taking 5 passengers with me for the fun filled ride!!


    Please make sure to read ALL info and requirements before joining.


    After reading this WHOLE thread, post below to ride and then PM me with your full name and addy!!



    How it works:

    This will be a round robin. The twist is that you will include an eggs-tra special surprise in your easter basket (envie). It can anything (btfes, stamps, stickers) that you think a fellow rider would be egg-cited to see when they open their envie. When you receive your envie, you can either take out that special surprise or you can pass it along to another rider.


    This train will run for up to 6 weeks.


    The initial mail out day is Monday, March 28

    You will mail out to 1 assigned person each week for up to 6 weeks and 1 assigned person will mail to you. Once you receive an envie try to mail it back out to your assigned person with in 48 hours to keep the train moving. I will assign the person you will mail to for the duration of the ride once every one is signed up. I will also send a PM with all the addies.


    Each rider will post a an Easter item that is your all time favorite (Easter Egg, Candy, etc.) and that Easter item will be written on the outside of the original envie you mail out along with "Easter Basket". As you receive each envie you will put on the envie with the train name and mail to your assigned person.


    When you get your first envie, you take out what you can use, anything that will be out of the expiration guidelines by the time it arrives to the next rider, add in more coupons to get it back up to the set number and mail that love thing to the rider you are assigned to mail to. We will repeat this for up to 6 weeks. By the end of the ride you will have gotten back your original Easter item that has been visited by all the riders on the train.


    Each envie must have a minimum of 25 coupons following the guidelines below. Each of those coupons must have an expiration date of at least 2 weeks from the mail date. So if the envie is for the first mail date of March 28th no coupons part of the 25 coupon minimum will expire before April 11th. If you want to include extras with shorter dates that is fine as long as it is over the 25.





    To Join:
    You must be able to mail 1 initial envie and pass along 5 envies for the up to 6 week duration. For a total of 6 envies!!


    You must post when you mail and when you receive.


    You need a wish list posted to ride. If your list is very short and specific, other train riders will have a harder time matching your list. If there's something you don't need multi's of, note it.


    This train is potluck which means you may not get 25 coupons from your WL in each envie. Although please try to match wish lists.


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


    Limit of 1 of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wish list. If you have and exact wish list match, then duplicates are encouraged!!! again, more than 1 of something is OK if its "extra"


    Printables are great to send if the member can use them.


    Store specific coupons are only OK if they are on the WL.


    BTFE's Coke Codes, Pepsi Codes are all great to include if they are wish list items.


    Rebates and tmf forms are GREAT to include. Watch state restrictions.


    Please leave feedback for all the other riders once all your envies have been received!!


    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.


    If for any reason you mail out late, it happens, life gets in the way. But post in the thread when it went out so your receiving rider can watch for it.


    If you have any questions at all about this ride please ask me and I will be happy to make anything clearer!!

    You will always mail/forward to the rider under you

    That's right. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. I think the round robins are a lot of fun, especially the ones that Kristy runs. She's had up to 4 routes going at one time! That was my favorite round robin ever.

    this is my first ever out of training train...
    i don't understand a couple of points.
    1) do you get a different person to mail to each wk?
    2) how is it that you get your original envie back?
    3) when i send an envie, i write down my special "thing" about easter on the outside of the envie?
    THANK YOU

    Hi!!
    Well I can answer some of your questions
    1. You always mail to the same person on a round robin train. You start your initial envie and then as you get an envie you forward that one to the same person you mailed your original to.
    2. When you get back the original name envie you started your ride is done!!

    Hope that makes sense:)

    For your questions #3, you will write your special thing only on the original envie you send.

    Then for all others you receive, each will have the original sender's special thing on it (for example mine is easter bunny). i.e when you receive the easter bunny, you will send it back out as the easter bunny. That way everyone knows which envie it is so it gets back to the original sender and then they keep it.

    Welcome aboard, I know you will have fun and receive some great coupons on this ride!
