Free for All - Part 3

Updated 2014-09-10 List updated. (INACTIVE = more than 100 days inactive.)

Time for a new thread! I've copied the general info below.

Someone asked off-thread if it was okay to request a 2-mooch minimum for international shipments and I think, considering the postage costs, that's perfectly fine. The only complication I can think of is that this probably means offering two wishlisted books. Your thoughts?

With any luck, this will generate a flurry of activity that will get noticed by more moochers who will then rush to join our group. *sending out positive vibes while keeping fingers crossed*

New to the tag game? Post a message here when you join and I can add the link to your wishlist. Also, because messages randomly disappear, it's a good idea to sign up to receive forum messages by email and to include your BMID in your message.

To international receivers, please post to your moochee the DATE you received the book. This will help determine if the USPS tracking system is working and also whether to continue sending to your country. For example, Israel is by far taking longer than normal for delivery from the USA: this information tells me to advise new moochers from Israel to be aware of a possible 2-3 week delay for delivery. Once our global postal system has the book, we have NO control on customs houses, delivery times, delivery to correct address. Same can be said traveling to the USA. Thanks for use the soap box.

drummergirl,
Once we hand our parcels over to the postal service - wherever in the world it is - things are out of our hands. I send all my international packages by economy rate post, which should in theory be surface mail, yet happily most seem to be sent by airmail.
Many of the packages I receive from overseas have a French customs scanning label on them. I've no idea how long some packages might remain in customs, sometimes I receive half a dozen on the same day, from all over the world.
Packages could be held up in transit in the original country, leaving the original country, or in transit in the destination country.
It's all in the hands of the postal authorities, plus customs.

Jacquie, you made my point. Email to your moochee the date the book is received. For Example: book has postmark shipp date of 01April2014, books received 15May2014. This tiny bit of info is gold to the shipper, and to other international moochers. I do use tracking numbers and first class mail, but it is no good until after delivery is made and the postal clerk logs in the information. Thanks for the input!

Hi Melanie,
Sorry not to reply earlier, but I have been rather out of the loop lately. I am indeed interested, so please let me know and I will mooch it off you.

Thanks a lot!

I think I should have my name removed from the participants list because I rarely mooch from overseas anymore due to increases in postage prices that mean it usually works out cheaper to purchase a book from somewhere than to mooch internationally. I wouldn't want someone to wade through my wishlist and then for me to turn round and say that actually I didn't want the book.
