BIRCHBOX Open Trade Thread

[Ultracitrus]

Here's a link to Makeuptalks rules & guidelines: https://www.makeuptalk.com/a/swap-rules

I think most people use USPS, but you don't have to. In my experience, shipping + delivery confirmation usually runs between $1-2. Swapping multiple samples with one person cuts down on cost. Hope this helps!

I am new to this forum and had question on how the trading works. Do you send the items via USPS? I was wondering if trading is useful if you consider the cost of shipping into factor.

Thanks.

I did learn the hard way that you aren't allowed to send any perfume through the USPS though...federal low prohibits it.   So if you trade perfume you may have to ship it using UPS etc.

Hi I just made a post and it says it has to be approved first? Is this a normal occurence? Sorry if this is a dumb question I'm new around here! Thank you!

Hi everyone.

I am looking to trade the Essie nailpolish in the color Set in Stones for the Pink Essie Nailpolish, A Cut Above.

 

[memu0106]

I have Shiseido blotting papers from the March box and Eye Rock Designer Liners from the February box- both are unused.

I am looking for a Tarte Lipsurgence in Joy from the March box or Jouer body butter from the January box.

Hi:

I'm new to this forum, but I'd love to join in the swap!

Just got my teen vogue birchbox. I have:

- Essie polish As Gold as it Gets

- Tarte Lipsurgence in Lucky  traded with a friend

Both are new and completely unopened. There don't appear to be any leaks or defects. The colors are just a little light for my skin.

I would like:

- Essie A Cut Above (the pink one)

- Tarte Lipsurgence in Amused (the dark pink) traded with a friend
