It's really amazing how many fun and interesting postage stamp designs the post office releases each year! I love having a variety of stamp designs and denominations to use when sending mail. I know I can't be the only one, so I propose that we trade unused postage so we can all have some fun new stamps to use! For a fun challenge, you will send your partner new, unused US postage totaling $2.00, no more, no less. That means you will have to use different denominations to reach the exact total! Try not to send more than two of the same stamp- the point here is variety! If you stamps are sticky on the back (as most are these days) it would be a good idea to stick them to a piece of wax paper so that your partner can easily peel them off again to use them. And I know that everyone probably already knows this, but due to the nature of the swap, I just want to remind everyone that all Forever stamps, no matter how old, are currently worth 46 cents, and you should count them as such when totaling your stamps. And the best part is, this swap actually only costs you the 46 cents it takes to mail the swap! You're getting the same amount of postage back that you sent, and it can still be used for mailing! This swap will be USA only since we are trading unused postage so it can be used to mail letters and packages. Postage stamps are sender's choice, so as long as your partner sends you new, unused postage totaling exactly $2.00 (on time), they have earned their 5. You must be rated for 5 different Type 2 and/or 3 swaps to participate. No 3 or 1 ratings in the last three months and no currently late swaps on your dashboard as of the day I assign profiles. I will wait to check profiles right before I assign partners to keep myself more organized. This is my first time hosting a swap, so I hope I did not leave anything out. Please let me know if you have any questions at all! If this swap goes over well, I may host it on a fairly regular basis with different total requirements and extra challenges thrown in just to keep things interesting! |
