Sounds great to me  Grin Is there a theme to it or just whatever you want to send?
Personally I don't care what it costs to post out. Sharing your products with others is a great way to get honest feedback and learn new skills. Not everyone is out to make a buck.

I'll make this a sticky then Keilly  Wink

I just had a thought.  If anyone would like to review one or product each, it could go in Members Product Reviews in Community on the main site (with links to your sites of course).  What do you think?  Maybe Keilly could drop a name in each package of who's product to review or something like that.  Or would that complicate things?   Undecided

Just a thought - to try and save on you having to post all this out.
If most people have a website - why not give each interested party a discount code, which would mean they get the item free and only pay postage

Corrie - I think it would be fun to send 'your favourite product theme' I reckon if this goes ok we could have themed ones after! What d'ya think?

They only pay postage anyway sophie - but twice, once when posting in and sending a sum to cover the cost of the organiser posting back.

Hi Elaine - so - I post (£2.50) for example a £5 product to someone with £2.50 for them to send onto someone else - it costs me £10.00 - after reading all the posts on the other forum most said it was more trouble than it was worth and that many who had expressed an interest didn't deliver.
take care

We have had several swaps before which have all been very successful and well received and everyone has delivered. They also create a bit of excitement on the forum when they are all shown off.

I very much doubt whether people here would consider the trade value of the products they're sending.

Also it could be an idea to put a limit on the number of people taking part; we had 5 in the perfume swap and that went very well - I don't think anyone on that swap thought about the cost of the product at all.

So is will the reviews be ok?  Grin  I think it will be lovely to have something to refer to on the main site (but you will need to send me a pic of your product).  I am not making things too difficult am I?  Maybe if the review is put in a feedback thread, with a pic (of that can be emailed to me) then I can add them from there.

Sounds like a cool idea for feedback that's for sure and a great way to try out other's products!  I thoroughly enjoyed the Freshol Birthday one we did.  Totally great apart from the RM sagas!!!  All worked out in the end though!
