Description:

For swappers who are low on cash or have a growing stash of nice but unused/not-needed swap items.

The objective of this swap is to not spend any money to buy items for the swap but to send items you already have.

What to send? You will send at least 5 items, worthed about US$10, to each swap partner. (Of course you may send more to aim for hearts for your rating!)

Example of swap items can be but not limited to embroidery floss, fat quarters, assorted teas, stationery, postcards, stickers, etc.

Do take some time to read your partner's profile and find out what he/she likes or dislikes. Please take note that some countries, like Australia, do not allow teas in the mail.

Please do not send used items or "trash". A good guide will be to ask yourself if you will feel happy receiving it.

Who is eligible? This swap is open to international swappers with a rating of 4.5 or higher.

Australia does not allow tea in letters? O_O is this true? I have never heard of that- i mean, it's just tea!

I got this link from another swapper- It lists some of the restrictions for items that can not be sent to certain countries. As aways, if in doubt, check with your local postal service.

Oh man, I sent some tea to Australia. I wonder what happened to it.

I sent microwave popcorn once to my Australian partner, and Customs confiscated it...or they were going to charge her a TON of money to quarantine it and get it back. I was kinda sad, but it is an island, I can understand the precaution they take.

No tea,,that's weird. I actually recieved some tea in my last swap with no problems (I'm here in Australia BTW)

I think if the teabags are individually wrapped and sealed and a list of contents is printed on the wrapper, then that's fine.
