Announcing Travel Box 2012

Hello I'm Brad, I have agreed to undertake the "Travel Box". Hats off to Jeff, for all his hard work and effort in the past. I thank everyone of you that had participated in the past.

Postal costs being what they are this will be limited to the US only. Sorry to our Canadian members.

The original box is headed back to me soon. I 'm in the beginning stages of organizing this. All I ask is some patience as I undertake this.

Guidelines:

1}Please post your interest in participating in this thread ONLY.

2}Send me a PM with your name, address, phone number, and your e-mail address.

3}I'm complying the list, as soon a enough members sign-up, I will do my best to arrange the names in the a geographical order . So the box will flow the best way.

4}Once the box arrives I will post a picture of it contents, organize it, place in the correct size flat rate USPS box, then it will go to the first person.

5}Once the box arrives to you, please post a picture of the contents and also a picture of what you are placing into the box.

6}Send the box on its way.

7}Repeat steps 5&6, until the box arrives at the last person.

Lastly a few last words.

1} When placing contents into the box, place in a baggie with your name and date, the contents. This is important because things do leak and spill.

2} Please place shave related items in the box or items that would interest the TSD members.
Please keep junk out of the box. Restore-able straight razors are not junk, nor are brush handles that can be re-knotted. This is not a junk box respect the other members receiving the box next.
If something is leaking place in a new container.

3}Common items such as Williams and VDH, should be avoided being placed in the box.

4}Place a postcard of where you are from.

If your concern is the value of what you remove vs the cost of shipping you probably won't want to participate. If you thinking that you can remove the cost of shipping in products you will mostly likely will be disappointed. Have fun with this foremost, not get hung up on the value.

Look at this as a group PIF. Let's have fun!!

This is a big undertaking for me please be patient with me as I learn the ropes.

 

Thank you Brad! Good to see the Box will keep on traveling!
