    Thaks babs but didn't get your email, just take the short slashes off, just use the letters. I'm kind of helpless and want to make sure I don't get overwhelmed with spam. I was told this was the easiest way to block bots.

     

    I love the train that is going around now but I think If we could get 2 started most coupons could get to users befor the exp date. with 10 on the train we could keep 2 going and get one every week or so. I'm also sending some 39 c stamps to help those with postage. I took one coupon for the b2g1 Free dg food, will try to add as much as I can to get a good mix going, and PLZ add a note so we know what you can use.

     So I'm confused is there two or three trains????? Seem there must be a limit of how many people if this is to move along quickly. Never done one before so I'm a little lost. Babs

    I have 2 envelopes right now in circulation. We have approx. 10 people on the train, problem is that they are spread out from east coast to west coast. Typically on a larger site than this, there are 6 or 7 Trains running at the same time with about 10-12 people each, just that with the sheer number of people available each Train is specific to a region. There isn't that amount of people here to support it. So to get a Train to run every 2 weeks, there would only be a few people to do it.

     OK so what need to happen is that people need to move quick when they get the train. Right? Thanks for the info. Babs

     Babs,

    There is a limit on how long each person can hold the coupons to decrease the time it takes to get the train around but there was a delay anyway on this one with a recipient being away from home. The length of time the train spends getting to a destination is an issue as well and nothing any of us can improve. If it takes three to five days after being mailed out to be received then that's a potential thirty or more days just for mail time in a ten person train.

    Re: train to long inbetween

     Ok that is true about people away or sick or whatever. Hadnt thought of that. the mail can take forever these days. WE recently sent out a package for an ebay sell. Took about 3 weeks to arrive. Should have taken 4 or 5 days. We were ready to return the payment and finally it arrived.  Hope you are having a good morning. It is rainy and 378 here. Babs
