Has anyone else not had their july sweets yet? I did pm my partner on sat but she didn't reply even though she has been on since

I haven't yet, hoping it's just slow post

 

[tiggertea]

Sarah - they said your package would take about a week.... sent today before last post.

 

[Jelly_Tot]

anyone know how long it takes for a package from the uk to get too canada?

 

[tiggertea]

I would just be sending it normal? Whats surface?? i have no clue about posting too overseas

 

[tiggertea]

surface mail goes slower - by boat/train/van etc, usually takes up to a month. whereas airmail zooms straight in to the nearest airport and takes about a week. airmail is more expensive though.

How much more expensive?? x

 

[tiggertea]

using a 500g parcel as an example:
surface mail outside europe costs £3.36 and takes up to 12 weeks
airmail outside europe costs £6.51 and takes approx 5 working days

You should ask Elli21, it didn't seem to take long for her parcel to get to me... although I don't know if she did regular or airmail. I sent mine Airmail as I wanted to get it in time, but it was crazy how expensive it gets!

To inform new members and refresh anyone who is not clear, there is also a tiny change from previous months, here are

The Rules & instructions,

Spoiler

1. Please Pm your partner to find out their like/dislikes/ special requests etc. A delivery address is to be sent once both parties have agreed to participate.
2. Please respect each others privacy and do not disclose private info to any other bnb member unless permission has been given.
3. There is a £3 spending guide. You may choose to go over this limit but please do not expect a parcel of equally high value in return.
4. Please update the sweetie swingers thread once your sweet parcel has been received then you can be marked off the list.
5. If possible, please take a photo of your recieved sweeties and upload to thread so we (mainly Serina) can have a good nosey at what you got!
6. Registered participants will automatically be carried over to the following months list unless they have notified us (either myself/ Elli or the thread) otherwise. Please make sure you get a response from Elli or myself.
7. New lists will be issued around the 25th of the month ready for the begining of the next month.
8. New members welcome. If you enter in the middle of a swap you can be added to that months list if a listed participant drop out or when another new member comes along to partner you. Elli or myself will up date the list when neccesary.
9. Please let us (Elli or myself) know if you can no longer participate in the swap rather than avoiding the thread. It is better for us to know then we can attempt to repartner the other member then they don't loose out.
10. Enjoy!

and what you've all been waiting for, August's list

[thelilbump]

[thelilbump]

we don't get flavoured reeses peanut butter cups aswell, we only get the original ones. Do they still make the marshmellow one? That was scrummy!
