~* Valentine Swap *~ Happy 10th Anniversary Arena

New question: Do you prefer your G3's/G4's MIB, or would you be OK with your partner having the ponies deboxed (when buying them from the pony sellers) to save on shipping charges?

I actually prefer non-MIB because I will wanna debox them anyhow xD. So save some money and get them deboxed!



I have a general question as I haven't shipped too many ponies before...whats the best way to ship them and keep them nice? I've heard there are no no's as to what to wrap them in?

Great question

In a swap it is always expected that you wrap ponies in pretty and appropriate wrapping paper of some kind. However, what you need to be aware of is that even the nicest and best quality paper can leak ink. Therefore make sure each pony is wrapped in either white tissue paper, saran wrap or even a zip lock bag first before you wrap it in your wrapping paper.

As for sending them - in a box A cardboard box of the right size - its the safest and easiest way to send all the items you will have together.

As a pony swap newbie I have a general question as well. When do we send our box? As soon as it is complete? Is the deadline the last day we should ship?

This is a V-Day swap, to try to time it that your partner will get theirs just before V-Day. The deadline is the last day you can ship on. I would suggest not mailing it out until at least February.

As Chip says if you can ship earlier than the deadline then that is great. However, pm your swap host to double check when you are thinking about shipping!

Thanks guys!

I like my ponies to be NIB if they came that way. Unless if its a pony that came in a big set, then it can be loose.

I am almost done with mine. I hope my swap parnter likes there things when they get them

[teacher316]

Wow, good job avene1984! I have 1 pony, 1 more to get and some fun extras of course!
For me, I am a loose collector since I love G1s:)
Can't wait to see everyones goodies!

[Mkia]

I have one pony in hand and one on the way. And I have some extras ready...just waiting on the other pony and need to get wrapping paper

[StarlightGaze]

For future reference, is it possible to offer pony art in exchange for ponies?

[DazzleKitty]

I'm pretty much done with this swap. Just need to find time to wrap.

Not in a swap, but if you post in the trade section someone may trade ponies for your art. If you check the customs or OT forum them may have art swaps.

I know I have been offered art in exchange for ponies...
