I got the package today and I need to talk to who ever gets it next about the whole sending it overseas thing.Cause it's gonna be expensive to do so and I wanna split the cost with whoever gets it next.

thats why i dont commit to stuff like this.

i'd rather pass than go ME ME ME ME with my hand up, then not follow through

ChronoGrl

01-13-2009, 10:25 AM

WELL, maybe we start over, then. :D

I've got some DVD duplicates (happens when you move in with someone) and some other random stuff that I found when I cleaned out my room at my mom's house.

Might be cool, might not be.

I'll start a NEW package.

WHO WANTS IT?!?!?!?!

Seriously - PM me.

I'll take your names down in the order which I received them.

DEADLINE IS THIS FRIDAY THE 16TH.

Once I have your names, I'll publish them in order in this thread. Example:

Urge
Newb
Jenna
Freak
Neverending

If that was the order, I'd send the package to Urge, he'd send it to Newb who'd send it to Jenna who'd send it to Freak, who'd send it to Neverending, who would then send it back to ME.

Then I'll start over again.

When you get the package, take what you want and then pass it on to the next person. The package will contain a growing list of items. When you get the package, list what you added to it, so that the person knows whose is what. The package will also contain a list of names and addresses so you know who the next stop is.

If you want in, let me know!!! PM ME BY EOD FRIDAY THE 16TH!!!

Seriously. I'll organize it. Could be fun. :D

TOO LATE!!

Flayed is now #1 for the package!

Guess he gets the panties. ;)

01-13-2009, 10:44 AM

just one more thing that turns out to be 'too good to be true' sigh.

this is why i never take part in these things :p

_____V_____

01-13-2009, 10:49 AM

I would be a part of this but I doubt anyone would have enough money to send it to me.

Sounds like a pretty cool idea from the beginning...but my hesitation was just for the point above.

Well if Flayed doesn't mind being bumped to #2, I'll shell out the cash to send it to you first - I don't mind. Honestly.

It's Flayed's call, though. And I DID promise him panties (though you COULD give him yours ;)).

The Flayed One

01-13-2009, 10:53 AM

I can wait. Hell, Urge probably has some great goodies to add to the package before I get it.

i'm out of the loop boys - panties or no panties !

ferretchucker

01-13-2009, 11:02 AM

Well, there is always the old package, Freak needs to tal to Disease about that. I think we should try and get that one moving again. And if we do make a new one then we should keep to the previous order (We've been waiting in our places for soooo long now)!

ChronoGrl

01-13-2009, 11:03 AM

I can wait. Hell, Urge probably has some great goodies to add to the package before I get it.

SWEET

So, V - YOU ARE OFFICIALLY IN!

You'll be my #1 man! PM me your name and address.

THUS FAR (unless V was joking of course - lol):

V
Flayed

(as for Urge, he'll need some convincing - V: THROW IN YOUR PANTIES!)

ChronoGrl

01-13-2009, 11:05 AM

Hmmm. That sounds fair

I'll be in.

ChronoGrl

01-13-2009, 11:07 AM

Hmmm. That sounds fair

I'll be in.

That's nice.

Can I have an official PM to confirm your place in line, please? ;) (It's also the only way that I can possibly keep this in order)

Also, name and address.

So far that would make you #3!!!!!!!!!

I think what probably makes sense is that, Friday, I'll post Screen Names and country of residence. If someone isn't comfortable shipping to the person in the next country, then we can negotiate place in line.

Freak

01-13-2009, 01:09 PM

I messaged Disease once and he never got back to me.So I messaged him again.If he doens't wanna help split the cost then I'm going to just send it to the next person on the list in the states.

Disease

Well I only got one pm and that was just then... so :eek:

Anyway, get back to me...

Disease

01-22-2009, 10:13 AM

Freak finally got back to me about this... So I'm waiting on it....

What's the deal Ferret, are you still in this one?

Despare

03-29-2009, 06:53 AM

Have you gotten the package yet Disease?

ferretchucker

03-29-2009, 07:18 AM

It looks as though I'm going to receive the package from Flayed first, so that will be the one I send on, I'm afraid.

Despare

03-29-2009, 08:00 AM

It looks as though I'm going to receive the package from Flayed first, so that will be the one I send on, I'm afraid.

So you're not doing both? That's cool, as long as both don't get sent to you. Hopefully Disease will chime in soon...

ferretchucker

03-29-2009, 11:20 AM

When I get the first package I will say on here. If another package is on it's way at that point, I'll try my best to send both. The thing is, if I did have both, they'd both be going overseas, and as 15 year old that would be a bit of an inconvenience.

scouse mac

03-29-2009, 03:27 PM

I'll be in on this if I may.

Im in the UK so if cost of sending it on is an issue for FC maybe we could work something out?

ferretchucker

03-30-2009, 06:46 AM

That could work. If it's okay with everybody I could send the package (The one this thread is based around) to Scouse Mac. It would put whoever was next in line a bit further back but it would be more likely to keep the packages moving. Let's just hope I have enough stuff to put in there!

Disease, when you get the package, contact me.

I forget where I am in line with this, but I think I was after Ferret or something. I don't have a problem sending it overseas.

Chrono if you are doing a second package, I would be down with that too. :)

If you're interested, the list for Package 2.0 is:
1. Roshiq (Bangladesh)
2. Flayed (US) <--- (Currently in Flayed's paws)
3. Ferret (England)
4. Return (Canada)
5. Missmacabre (Canada)
6. ME (US)

HOWEVER - The intent of this package was never to replace the first one, so don't let this one usurp the original. I don't want to step on any toes.

If you DO want to join in, you can get it after Missmacabre, so the list would be:
1. Roshiq (Bangladesh)
2. Flayed (US) <--- (Currently in Flayed's paws)
3. Ferret (England)
4. Return (Canada)
5. Missmacabre (Canada)
6. Papillon Noir (US)
7. Me (US)

If that works for you, please confirm with a PM to MM and I. :)

Papillon Noir

03-30-2009, 10:08 AM

Okay, so I am doing both.

Does anyone know where I am on the list here? :confused:

then he shouldn't have participated

_____V_____

As I had posted in this earlier in the afternoon (deja vu!), I am willing to start Package v 4.0 but on certain conditions -

1. If you are only interested in acquiring freebies from someone else and cannot forward it to the next person, don't raise your hand.

2. Be mindful that moving the Package WILL involve shipping/postal charges. If the person to whom you are sending it is willing to share the charges with you, good and fine. If not, you will have to bear the full expenses.

3. I have inquired about the charges to send it to someone in the US or Canada, and it amounts to a small fortune for me. So unless and until I get absolute confirmation that this package will be in transit for the whole chain of people (you can even send it back to me), I won't take a chance.

4. Don't make the package boring by stuffing it with just old books and toys. The next person should find something for his/her liking before they send it to someone else, otherwise it will be useless for them. And it will be criminal of you to do something like that.

I know these stipulations might seem a bit harsh, but judging from how the first 3 packages went into the shitter real quick, I am not willing to pay as much for this one unless you can confirm to me that my initiation for the 4th Package will be honored by the rest of you. The charges are equal to almost a week of my job's pay, and that matters a great deal to me. So unless I get some sort of confirmation that this will continue, I won't be involved.

Interested? Holler in this thread and send me a PM.

I am willing to send it to anyone of the following - Newb, Despare, Rayne, Zwoti, Urge, Chrono, and Hammerfan. From what I have gathered from the history of the previous 3 packages, the people I named above are proven safe bets that they will keep this thing rolling.

If you agree to all of the above, you are welcome to join up.

hammerfan

05-20-2011, 08:39 AM

In case you didn't see newb's post in the other thread, what if all of you over on the other side of the "pond" circulate it there first, and then send it to the U.S. and we can circulate it here. I know ferretchucker was very excited about this package thing.

_____V_____

05-20-2011, 08:51 AM

It depends.

Elvis is obviously out of the equation now, so that leaves Cheeba, Disease and possibly ManchestrMorgue for AUS, Roshiq in BAN, and Ferret & Zwoti in the UK.

One of them has to come forward, if they can. If not, I am willing to send it to someone in the US or Canada.

hammerfan

05-20-2011, 08:54 AM

If none of them raise their hand, I'll raise mine unless there's someone in front of me.

ferretchucker

05-20-2011, 09:43 AM

Very interested. I was number 2 for WAAAAAYYY too long.

TheWickerFan

05-20-2011, 01:30 PM

Come on Freak. I see a real opportunity for you to be a hero in all this. I assume the problem is you don't have enough money to send the package overseas, but I'm fairly certain one or more people on your waiting list are from the U.S.

Papillon Noir (?)
Hammer Fan
Miss Macabre (Canada? Not sure)
Bwind22

Can you send it to one of these people?

Fearonsarms

05-21-2011, 05:33 AM

I genuinely wish you good luck-you are very brave V attempting this again.

ChronoGrl

05-21-2011, 05:51 AM

Ok, I'm sorry, but I'm still pissed off about Package 2.0.

1. I organized it - Reached out to people - Everyone was excited and in support.
2. If someone was uncomfortable with sending it out of country, I worked with the participants to switch orders to make sure that everyone was OK with whom they were sending it to, before even kicking it off.
3. I took pains to keep all addresses private and only kept communication between the Sender and Sendee so that address information wasn't divulged.
4. I put in TIME to gather the stuff that I wanted to put into the package - All of the duplicate DVD's that my boyfriend and I had acquired over the years and didn't want (or just plain DVD's that we didn't care for but thought maybe someone else might) plus some random stuff.
5. I SENT IT TO ROSHIQ IN BANGLADESH - Not cheap, but others on the list didn't have the money, so I figured - I'd do it to get the ball rolling...
6. Roshiq sent it BACK TO THE STATES to Flayed where there was STILL some excitement with the participants around the package (those who were on the list and people PM'ing me to get on the list)...
7. And then it stopped.
8. I kept periodically bumping the thread and PM'ing Flayed - No response... Until Flayed got sick of seeing the thread being bumped and LOCKED IT.

WTF

Look
-- Sorry if I said anything rude to Flayed (though I don't really think that I did, and if I expressed frustration - well - CAN YOU BLAME ME)... But COME ON.

...

Anyway.

I thought I've been good about staying away from Package Drama (that's what she said - nyuk nyuk) - I never considered bumping that thread to be drama-inducing (usually my posts consisted of (BUMP - FLAYED) - BUT WAS I WRONG PEOPLE?!?!?!?!)... But I am SERIOUSLY PISSED that after the effort I put into that one that the end result is that it went to one person and my thread was fucking locked. REAL NICE. :mad: :mad:

Not really sure where I'm going with this here - I guess the takeaways are:

--- Chrono is REALLY crabby (I've had a bit of a shitty week)
--- If you are going to commit to being a part of the next package, please PLEASE take it seriously - The people involved, whether it be the initial person organizing it or the people taking the time to put cool things into it and post it overseas, are actually making an effort... Plus the people downstream are actually excited to get it! Don't slack off.

Not to mention - I actually really REALLY like you guys here - I consider you friends and this package was just another way to solidify the fact that we are REAL PEOPLE making a REAL CONNECTION with a common interest on this site - That being said, it was hard not to take it personally when it died.

Aww, I feel so bad for you Chrono...That really sucks...BUT, at least you and Roshiq got to 'share' overseas, and that's freakin' awesome :)...I can't wait to send all of these books out...The reason my shipping is so expensive (besides shipping overseas) is that books are so heavy when you have a bunch of them...BUT...I have figured out a way to handle the cost and I am really looking forward to this.

Also...I definitely didn't mean to suggest that no one had a reason to be angry/upset/disappointed/hurt or even downright enraged about the loss of the packages (and the time, effort and expense involved)...I was only saying that it would be more productive to put it behind us and try again, because we weren't getting anywhere...I apologize whole-heartedly if my comments indicated anything otherwise.

Oh, the rant wasn't intended at you at all, Sweetie! I'm just uber-UBER cranky and the package (apparently) is a sore spot for me - LOL

Honestly - I just hope that the people who get involved make it work this time!

I believe Ferret raised his hand first, and he has been waiting for an eternity for the package. So he has first rights to this.

Ferret, have you saved enough to send the package forward? Do your parents agree to this?

And, do you want to receive the original package from Freak, or the new one from me?

We will pick up after Ferret answers.
