These guidelines will be posted and stay in the first post when we start the new thread. If you can think of anything to add or change please feel free to help!!!!
Guidelines for Train
Train starts rolling by you putting an envelope together of 50 or more coupons and sending them to the person BELOW you in the train order.
SEND BY DATE is by Tuesday every week!!! That should give you time to cut and send from Sunday if you wish. If you have not received it would be a good idea to go ahead and send what you have on with a note to say why your envie is light. If you have not received in two weeks with no contact from sender, please let your conductor know! We want things to be fair. ALSO, post this on the thread as we have several ladies who have been awesome about sending RAOK!
What coupons should you send??
1. You are welcome to post a wish list which can help your sender know what to look for.
2. You can send circular coupons, store coupons, drug stores, blinkies, tear pads, refund forms, peelies, etc. I love seeing different coupons!!! When you shop keep your eyes peeled for different coupons. You can run by a tear pad of Try me free forms that everyone would LOVE!!!
3. Make sure you stamp it enough!!! Also, it is a good idea to put tape on the back to keep the envelope from getting pulled apart in the PO sorting.
4. Please practice the golden rule in sending . Dont send 50 coupons of pet and baby only, especially if your receiver does not have a pet or baby!!
What do I do when I receive my envie?
1. Look through all coupons and pull the ones you want to use, add the ones you have cut out or collected that week. If you pull out 10 coupons try to add 10 or more.
2. You can mail your envie as soon as you can, but make sure it goes out by the following Tuesday.
This is a cross-country train so sometimes it can take a week or so to get an envelope across the country especially during the holidays. Please take that into account when we first get rolling.
VACATIONS or Taking Time Off This should be easy just let your sender know to skip you and send to the next person on the list and for how many weeks. (Make sure they have the address)
Do I have to check in on the coupon thread??
I think the train runs better when everyone checks in. I know when I try to put a great envie together for my receiver it makes me feel really good when they post they got some use from it!
BUT, we all have lives and I for one understand if something keeps you from posting on some weeks. Please try to do the best you can. If something will prevent you from sending that week, please take a minute to post that information.
Look for announcements on the first post. This is where the current train order will be, and any updates.
