After watching more than one Big Traveling Box make the rounds south of the border, I thought it was long overdue for all of us Canadians to get together and do one of our own.
Canada Post is going to be our biggest draw-back; We'll need to organize a fairly tight rota to keep costs down.
I have a nice little entry level straight, a TM practice strop, some Tabac cream and maybe a surprise or two to get the ball rolling that I will put into the box.
So what do you all say? Involvement would require a minimum post count of 50, lives in Canada, and a desire to try some different products.
My thoughts for the box at the end are to sell the contents off and donate the proceeds to Miles of Smiles.
Here is a list of suggested rules: (Thanks to Luc)
-Do not donate something that you wouldn't use if it came from a stranger
-Don't go crazy with the donations, the same box must close in the end.
-Try to limit yourself to 1 item out of the box
-Try to replace and contribute to the box if you can. Something of a similar value is appreciated. Try not to add things that are already existing in the box (we don't want to end up with 2 dozen Williams soaps).
-Keep and try items in the box for a week.
-Post what you liked and didn't like in the thread
-If you mailed the box, post when and to who. If you have a tracking number, please add it.
If you are interested, please post here, and send me a PM with your info. (Please do not post your address in an open thread).
As soon as we get enough respondents to get a mailing loop organized, we'll get it going. (Please note; your place on the mailing list will be determined by your geographic location in an effort to keep mailing costs down for each participant, however, if you are stuck mailing it from say, BC, to Newfoundland, I'll gladly help to offset the costs).
I hope this can be a fun and entertaining way to try some different products.
Let's get together, Canadians, and get this ball rolling!
Cheers,
