The 1st Annual Style Forum Sample Swap Box

[youdee]

Does the box ever make it to England? I have a ton of new skincare/shaving stuff I never get round to using. The post before this one: joel_954 Does anyone know Master-Classter's phone number?

After trying to ship this via UPS and not being able to figure out the Customs form, this is finally shipping USPS Priority Mail today. 5 lbs 2 ozs, $25 medium flat rate box to Canada. Damn!

Hmmm, ok thanks for sending it. I did a quick cost quote and figured it was going to cost about $25 to send back to USA anyway, so I'm not surprised by the cost. In my mind it's like less then $1 to sample each frag, so worth it to me at least.
I've already got a pile of goodies to add, and based on the pics looking forward to smelling some more!

No worries. I'm glad I got to try Patou Pour Homme. I'm not crazy about it so I'm glad I didn't blind buy a whole bottle. Like Michel Germain's Sexual, I think it smells like pond water.

Chrome is nice tho! I like it better than Curve for Men for my low priced fragrance.

Been out of the loop. How we doin with this?

 

[Master-Classter]

I believe the box is en route from Joel to myself... sent Friday, to Canada, so i'm expecting it around Tuesday or Wed round about, and hope to send it out by Friday, Monday morn at latest.

Hey Folks,

The box arrived today... WOW, loads of goodies in there. I'm busy sorting through it all. I will pull a few and drop in a bunch, and send this out asap.

Some notes...
I've tried to organize the box a little with newer better ziplocks. I think so far it's roughly been grouped by person, so i didn't change that much, but I did group together a few of the brands like Bond, Ford, Serge, etc just so they're easier to see the range.
I've also PM'd a few of you guys... mostly just to find out about what was yours, or you want kept of if I can switch a glass bottle to plastic, etc...

Were you able to get the box out to Why yesterday MC?

 

[Master-Classter]

I was just about to post here. Yep, so the box went out about middle of last week... I do apologize about the small delay, I had some family over for the weekend and then there was fasting on Monday for the high holidays, etc... so it only shipped about Wed. Also, I was waiting for my empty/decant vials to arrive... Sally is amazing!!! Why, I think you're in for a treat! (I probably loaded in about 40-50 frag samples), and Jinda there's a bunch of shaving stuff in there too (small collection though It'd be great to take some pics when it arrives, I forgot. I probably pulled about 20-25 samples, but nothing from anyone's list (Jinda, sooo tempting to grab that SL miel bois and oriental vetiver... then I checked the list) and nothing overly rare or expensive I reorganized and packed up the box a bit so it's about half the size when I got it with at least the same amount. There wasn't much left of the Live Jazz so I decanted into several 5ml's and overall just rearranged it a bit. I tried to cut down the weight by switching some of the glass bottles to plastic. Shipping was still about $25, and it weights about 5.5-6 lbs... Joel, I mailed out those samples the same day, so they should arrive sometime this week. I used your small box.

 

[joel_954]

Wow! Thanks for doing all that work MC.

Jinda's next I believe.
Why - Just curious, anything in particular you've found interesting?

 

[Rambo]

Yep, Jinda's up. He's so excited I'm sure you could get him to Paypal you the money for expedited shipping.

 

[Rambo]

Why, have you gotten the box off to Jinda? How'd it work out for you?

 

[Master-Classter]

how's this thing coming along...?


PS - that Guerlain Heritage, was that a EdC, EdP? and roughly what time period formulation?
Thanks
