Description:

Hello everybody! I hope you've had an amazing day so far. As for myself, I have been missing on some nice food (snacks/candy/tea etc.) swaps around and thought of creating one.The last swap had many people join it so I hope this one will have a nice variety of countries as well :).

So as for the swap, you'll be having 1 partner. You will be sending a package to her/him that you will fill with all sorts of food items that are popular where you live. Some examples for food items: crisps, all sort of snacks, instant food, chocolate bars, candy tea, some traditional foods that don't go bad in the mail etc.

You will also include a note telling your partner about the food you've sent, what it is called (if it's not in English), what it's made of and why it's popular in your country. Also remember to include the name of the swap and your username.

Please keep in mind 3 things:

  • All food items have to be storebought.
  • All the food items have to be properly wrapped and unopened. Make sure it won't go bad in the mail and pack everything well.
  • If you send single wrapped items (like a candy bar or tea sack), you have to send at least 3.

Please look at your partner's profile to not send them anything they hate or are allergic to.

Otherwise let your partner taste your country :). Only one person per country is allowed so you will be able to enjoy some other country's food items. When you join, please write the name of your country in the comments below so everyone will know this country is already taken.

The package value should be at least 7 euros (8.20 usd) without shipping. It can also be more expensive but please mind that it won't be too expensive so your partner won't have to pay tax.

Since it is a fairly expensive swap, only people with a rating of 4.99 are allowed to join. No recent unresolved 1s or 3s or any other issues. I will go over the partners and ban everyone for whatever reason I see fit. I want to minimize the risk of flaking and make this swap enjoyable for everyone who joins. No newbies. Please send on time and make sure you follow the swap's requirements.

I hope you will enjoy the swap and please send me a private message if you have any question!

Was the swap always 7 euros? I could have swore it was 23 or 24 euros when I signed up? In the U.S. its like $14 to ship an ounce (100g) abroad but only $23 for up to 4lbs (almost 2 kilos).

ehjut 02/28/2014 #

Don't get me wrong, I am every excited just to be in the swap no matter what. I was just wondering. I cant wait! :-) Thanks

nyanSan 03/ 1/2014 #

@ehjut :D It was 10 euros, if I remember correctly or something like that but since many wrote to me and asked to lower the price so they can join (people who were taking part in the previous swap too), I lowered it.

I wish everyone a fun experience :)!

nyanSan, you kicked me out of the swap to make room for your friend. how fun of an experience is that???? :/

nyanSan 03/ 3/2014 #

@dreamistru I recommend you to read messages people send to you. You weren't banned because I wanted to make any room for anyone but because you are a newbie and you have only completed 5 swaps in total (leave alone 2 type 3 swaps which are not even big swaps that can show on your reliability as a swapper). I try to filter my swaps as best as I can to ensure that everyone sends their swaps out. Commenting with such attitude doesn't portrait you as a good swapper at all, but nevertheless, I wish you fun in other swaps (that are not by me) on this website.
