Description: | |
For those who love mailing! Just send a piece of naked mail along to your partner! Make them laugh, shout, snort, yelp, smile or jump with joy at your irreverent mail! (The quick part is that you have one week to mail once partners are assigned.) Naked mail = an object sent through the postal system without wrapping. Just write the addresses directly on the object or use a mailing label, add stamps and send it! Inspiration? I've sent/received a rubber chicken, a shoe, Polaroids, signs, toys, a soap dish, notebooks...etc. You can be very creative with this!) ...Obviously sending something resembling a usual letter, postcard or package is not a good choice for this swap! Sender's choice. You can, but are not required to peek at your partner's profile for inspiration! In the US you can send anything that is not liquid, perishable, fragile and won't damage the mail processing machinery (i.e. long ribbons). If you are outside the US you'll have to check about your postal service regulations but there is plenty of naked mail being sent in many countries. ==>Do photograph your object with stamps affixed as proof of mailing.<== (If your partner has this or a mailing receipt with your postal code/zip then you must rate a 5 even if you don't receive anything. You can ask, but cannot require that they resend as naked mail sometimes doesn't reach it's destination. If this happens let me know too. I'd like everyone to receive something!) Required: At least ten completed & rated Type 3 swaps, impeccable ratings with no recent or unexplained 1/3 ratings and a well filled out profile required to participate. You must also be up to date with all swaps. Please PM me before sign ups close with any questions. I'll check profiles before assigning partners. If you have any questions or concerns at any point during the swap please don't hesitate to send me a PM. |
