Traveling Fragrance Sample Box

[smoothie72]

These aren't new empties. They are used empties:

Polo MR
2 Aramis
Givenchy Gentlemen Only
212 Men
Michael for Men
Violet Disguise
C&S no 88
Bois Blonds
Bvlgari Man Extreme
Givenchy Very Irresistable
couple others I can't read
Bleu de Chanel
Puig Agua Brava
Bvlgari PH Soir
Crown Spiced Limes
L'Artisan Pour un Ete

These are all empty so you can see why I am in question of what to do with these used vials.
There are 2 New unused atomizers that I know were in there for someone's use to decant.

As as for the others, I know I get very little from smelling the sprayer on an empty atomizer.

 

[Zombeezy]

Yeah, I included 10 new unused glass vial sample spray bottles, and then maybe a person or two back there were 3 left, so those two were probably them. Toss the used empties - there were certainly more than a few when I had the box, but I am a pack rat and don't throw anything away, so left them.

 

[smoothie72]

Ok I will toss and refill the box. That is the game. Right

 

[Zombeezy]

Basically, you become the steward of the box - treat it like you'd like to receive it in turn.

Any chance I can get added to the list? I've participated in several other passarounds and know I would really enjoy this one as well. Thank you - David

 

[Zombeezy]

Hi David! I've added you below. The official moderators have been quiet for some time, so unofficially we added some others and keep the list updated.

This has been a long-lived and successful traveling box, perhaps we'll set a precedence for faith to continue such boxes in the future.

Cseagren81 can you pm me your address so I can get the box off. I have sampled, cleaned out and added some good stuff. Please feel free to take samples if you like. Just replace it with something on par.

I have included a rather large "sample" of A/S if anyone loves it it's yours.

 

[smoothie72]

Bump. Done with box I need an address

 

[Zombeezy]

Did you also PM him? We may have to bump him back again. I'd wait through the weekend, but no longer.

Meanwhile, probably makes sense for you to also PM Kotton for his address so that you can send out on Monday to him if you haven't heard back from Cseagren81.

[Zombeezy]

smoothie72, did you get an address from Cseagren81?

 

[smoothie72]

No, but I got address from Kotton. I had a snafu at the USPS today. I told them it was perfume and they would not ship it in a priority mail box. So tomorrow I will swap box for a plain brown box and ship it ground I guess. Or should I just have it marked fragile and have it shipped regular (air I guess)? Ground Only was written on the box but they told me a priority mail box was not the proper box for ground shipping. If it is in a plain nondescript box marked fragile it shouldn't matter if it's shipped air.

 

[Zombeezy]

Wow, don't think that has come up as a problem before. My decision was based on wanting to get it there the fastest at the cheapest. Hand them the box, ask what the options are, and then pick from that. For me, I don't think it was much difference between the ground price and priority so I think I picked priority.

Whatever works for you, as long as you don't tell them perfume, lol. I don't even remember if the box was marked fragile - it was so bubble-wrapped that it was hard to believe it needed to be. Double-walled or triple-walled boxes weigh more and cost more to ship as a result, even though they can also be sent as priority. If I recall, most of the priority boxes are single-wall or at least seem it!

Hmmm .... I'd ship in plain box if you have one. At counter, ask them your price options, and if priority price is fine, grab a priority sticker and mail it that way. If not, tell 'em ground is fine and done!

 

[smoothie72]

Box is in the mail. Sorry guys about the long stay at my house.
On its way to Kotton. I said no to all questions but fragile. No problems

 

[Kotton]

Sounds good

 

[USMCKoontz]

Would love to get added to the list. Sounds awesome..and a good way to try new scents and see what the wifey likes I have done these types of things on other forums (first time with frag though) but I am sure it is fun

 

[Zombeezy]

USMCKoontz, added you below!

smoothie72, your comment about the "long stay" has me curious, so I might go back through all the posts and find the average amount of time in each person's possession, as well as how long it took from signing up before it was in their hands, lol. I think everyone has done an amazing job because this is still working 14 months after temjeito started it.

[Joe I]

If its possible I'd like to be included in the frag pass around. I've just become interested in frag and this looks like a great opportunity to try some and pass some along that I don't care for. Let me know what I need to do to be included.

 

[LBussy]

When more people get added it makes it look like I'm not on the end.

 

[Zombeezy]

Joe I, done!

LBussy, since you are causing trouble, I moved you to the end
