Here is the post you've all been waiting for!

Sign-ups for Round 7 will begin this weekend.  The Rules and Application post will probably go up early Saturday morning (Tokyo time), which means that a lot of you will be able to see it as early as Friday evening.  The post will be locked, so if you want to participate, please check now and make sure ( Read more... )

Happy New Year, Snacksters!  :D
(Better late than never, yes?)

I'm sure a lot of you have noticed that we haven't been around much these past few weeks -- membership requests were approved late and a lot of emails still haven't been answered.  It's been a hectic holiday season for both of us and we're trying our best to catch up with everything, so ( Read more... )

Hey everyone!  Quick update:

All Round 5 partner assignment emails have now been sent!

Thanks for all your patience!  I tried really hard to give everyone what they wanted and hopefully no one is too disappointed.  We didn't have to resort to too many domestic pairings this time, either.  If you do have any problems, though, or if I made any mistakes ( Read more... )

Sign-ups for Round 5 are now officially closed!

Huge thanks to everyone who sent us an email!  I will be getting back to everyone who had questions as soon as I can, and you can expect to receive your partner's information before the end of this week.  My apologies again for cutting off US applications as quickly as I did!  There were simply not ( Read more... )

Good day, fellow Snacksters!

We are really enjoying everyone's Round 4 photo posts, and it seems like most of you guys got some amazing packages!  We're also super excited to see that membership has grown quite a bit since Round 4 -- by around 100 people, in fact!  A great deal of you probably came after seeing

Just a quick note to let everyone know that sign-ups for Round 4 are now officially closed!  Many thanks to everyone who sent in an application, and even more thanks to those of you who responded to my last post with offers to take on multiple swap partners.  I really only expected two or three people to come forward, but instead we have more than ( Read more... )

Alright guys, we were hoping that we wouldn't have to do this, but from this moment on we are no longer accepting Round 4 applications from US residents.  When I checked the Gmail account this morning we had received 108 applications for Round 4 and 73 of them are from the US.  Considering that (a) not every non-US member wants to trade with the US ( Read more... )

Good morning, folks!  It looks like several of our recent posts have left quite a few of you confused, so I'm here to elaborate a bit and try to answer all of your questions.

First of all, regarding the questionnaire on the community info page -- this is NOT an application for any of the swap rounds, and you do not have to fill it out if you are ( Read more... )

***So please have your round 3 snacks all sent out by this Wednesday at the latest!***

To clear up any confusion about the tagging:

You will only tag the entry with the country you received  the snacks from.  No need to do anything along the lines of "US to UK",  you would just tag it as United States.

Domestics swaps will ONLY be tagged as domestic swaps.  Since from this point forward domestic swaps will only occur when we've run out ( Read more... )
