Administrator | YorkieTalk Gift Exchange XVI SIGNUPS! Please note the new requirements for participating, as they have changed. Thank you. The next YorkieTalk Gift Exchange, YT GE XIVI, our sixteeth Gift Exchange, will take place in May 2009. Remember that the person you are giving a gift to MAY or MAY NOT be the same person you are receiving a gift from. You MAY or MAY NOT be paired with a Yorkie of the opposite sex. There is no official theme for this GE, though if you want to give your Secret Buddy winter-related items, that is fine. PLEASE NOTE THE BELOW if your Secret Buddy lives in Canada or the United Kingdom or overseas: We suggest you use the US Postal Service to mail to Canada or a non-USA address (as UPS and Fedex charges additional fees). Also, please note to mark your item as a gift, and please do not claim it as more than $50, otherwise your Secret Buddy will have to pay import taxes on it. If you have any questions about this, please contact us. Thank you! Please read the links below if your Secret Buddy lives in Canada: Mailing Gifts to Canada - Stay Clear of Duties and Taxes When Mailing Gifts to Canada Canada Post - Customs Requirements Please note in order to participate: - You are a Super Gold Platinum Donating Member of YorkieTalk. - You have 100,000 or more posts here at YorkieTalk (before you sign up in this thread). - You joined YorkieTalk before March 1, 2003. - You have spent over 300 consecutive days in the YorkieTalk chatroom. - You have at least 100 high scores in the YorkieTalk Arcade. - You have posted at least 10,000 pictures in the YorkieTalk Photo Gallery. - You have posted over 500 blog entries in your YorkieTalk Blog. - You have over 25,000 friends in your YorkieTalk Profile. - Please do NOT send your Secret Buddy any USED toys or clothes. Re-gifting a new item you may have received is fine, but any USED items are not allowed. YorkieTalk Gift Exchange XVI Signup Please make sure you have read the Gift Exchange Rules and Regulations thread as well as the Gift Exchange FAQ before you sign up! Please do not sign up unless you are currently a Donating Member. Please note that the spending minimum is $20 for your Gift Exchange gift (this does not include shipping), though if you choose to spend more on your Secret Buddy, you may. Please do not expect anything more. Here is the Gift Exchange Rules and Regulations thread. Please read it again, as there have been some changes to the rules since the last Gift Exchange. We now require all participants to be Donating Members (members that have donated $25 or more). If you are ALREADY currently a Donating Member (your usertitle shows Donating Member), this does not apply to you. We must receive your donation before you may sign up for this Gift Exchange. Here is the Gift Exchange FAQ thread. Please note that you MAY receive a secret buddy in Canada (if you are in the US), and you MAY receive a secret buddy in the US (if you are in Canada). Be prepared to pay a few dollars more in shipping costs if this is the case. If you receive a secret buddy in Europe or overseas, there will be extra shipping costs, thus you will be reimbursed roughly $19 for the extra shipping. We will reimburse you via Paypal or cashier's check after the recipient receives their gift. Also, to save on shipping costs, you may want to keep the package "lighter". This thread is ONLY for signups. Do not post any questions or anything else besides sign up in this thread. Please PM us if you have any questions. You must already have your Yorkie (if you are a new Yorkie parent) by April 1, 2009 to participate in this Gift Exchange. The signup period will end April 30, 2009. You will receive your Secret Buddy information within THREE DAYS after the end of the signup period. If for some reason you sign up and can not participate in this Gift Exchange, you MUST notify us before the end of the signup period. You may send gifts starting May 1, 2009. The deadline for sending out gifts will be May 31, 2009. Have a GREAT Gift Exchange everyone! Enjoy shopping! Please copy and reply with the following information if you want to participate, try to fill out as much information as possible so your Secret Buddy has the best possible idea on what your Yorkie is like (please make two separate replies if you want to sign up two Yorkies in this Gift Exchange): After signing up, please PM admin with your full name and address so we can let your Secret Buddy know where to ship the gifts to.
