Old Swap Thread!

I’d be happy to do a swap for:

- H & S Florence
- Kusmi Caramel
- Kusmi St Petersbourg
- English Tea Shop Sweet Cookie (or whatever it is lol)

I have a number of teas on your list that I’m happy to pass on to you.

I will message you :)

Hey!
I’m interested in
- Harney & Sons Valentine’s Blend
- Della Terra Lemon Lime Cream Tart
- Davidstea Stormy Night

If there’s anything in my cupboard that interests you, let me know!

Will shoot you a PM :)

I’m interested in the Harney ones (if there’s any left), Movie Night and Read My Lips. Let me know if any of these are available and if there’s anything in my cupboard that you’d like :)

I would love to swap for any of the Kusmi or Della Terra ones. I can send you my updated list if you’re interested (I have more teas than what’s listed in my cupboard). Also going to Carytown Teas this weekend if you’re interested in anything from there :)

Lariel, I have a little bit of candy cane from Della Terra that I’m not going to drink. It’s a little under .5 oz. Would you have a couple spoonfuls of the Blueberry Early Grey you could swap with me?

That’s fine. Not sure how much blueberry EG I have now. Would you like anything else?

Hi Lariel,

I have some Citrus Mint (Tea Forté) tea if you are interested. Let me know! :)

I can send you some, and maybe Moon Berry. My blend of blueberry earl grey (with Adagio blueberry).

I have some on the way (expected here on Saturday), if you wanted a sample? PM me if your interested still.

I have some graveyard mist, as well as some others in sample sizes I got from a tasting box I would swap…..send me a msg…I already followed you…

Is that tea you have? I’d like to try that one.

From New Mexico Tea Company I have Lady Londonderry, Huckleberry Black, Monks Grenadine, Starlight Sleep, and Extra Sleepy Bear. I don’t have some of these in my cupboard b/c Steepster doesn’t seem to have it’s page and everytime I try to create a new listing it says “oops error!”

Hi GiggleGoddess here is their page

Sorry I should have made my post more clear. I am looking to trade this tea – I am not really interested in anything from New Mexico Tea Company in trade.
Thanks :)

I would love to try that!

I was just piggybacking off of your post to let others know what I have since it was a NM Tea Co. product. And not all of NM Tea Co. teas are listed. No worries:)

@GiggleGoddess Oh okay :)
@whatshesaid awesome PM me what you would like to trade. :)

Okay clearly I am not very good at posting trades. I should have noted US trades only please.

You’re just out of practice Azz :p

I would be interesting in the coconut dream.

LOL yeah I rarely trade this way. Lariel PM me what you have to trade please.

I have a sample of Alpine Punch, I believe it came with my last David’s order.

Nice. Can it be mine?

Of course :-) I’ll PM you now.

Thanks. Still wanting to try more teas from both companies.

If you like it, I have more. A sample and some of a 25g bag I got with the winter collection box.

I’m not a big fan of rooibos, so I wouldn’t mind it going to a good home. :)

Thanks for offering. Unfortunately, I can only ship withing the U.S.

Oh, no worries. I’m sure I’ll drink it up or find another home.

My topic got deleted accidentally. I was looking for black or rooibos teas to try from Della Terra or David’s Teas. Preferably more Lemon Chiffon.

I’m interested in Butiki’s Tamarind Pop. Feel free to browse through my cupboard. :)

Would we have to pay extra for shipping?

For 100g of tea to be sent from USA to UK it costs roughly $10 – $13 so it does have it’s expense but not that bad, especially if trading for teas you can’t get in your country.

From Canada, I seem to recall it costing very little more than shipping to the States! Less than $10, I’m sure. That may have since changed, though.

It was just under 9$ to send a box to France this past weekend from Canada

my US to CND swap w/c accdg to the usps website specs qualified as a large envelope was applied the price for a package just because it had tea inside and was saleable – even tho i did not receive money for it as it was a swap.

so 5.60oz cost 8.55 and 8.50oz is 9.15 instead of a slightly higher price than mail sent to a US address. 5oz is 2.40.

but yeah, it’s not bad if you are getting teas that would not be available for you to buy otherwise.

In Canada a tea swap would rarely fit Canada Post’s rules. If the envelope is more than 1 cm thick or so it is supposed to be a parcel. They’ve cracked down a lot lately :(

I’ve been doing swaps and I’m in Canada! Buy the cd sized envelopes and spread the tea out so it stays flat enough :)

@Whatshesaid – I know a lot of people do them in bubble mailers, but more and more bubble mailers are being turned back as oversized – at least at my work. The guidelines are actually quite ridiculous – all hallmark style cards are technically oversized and need 1.34 postage rather than .63. I’ve noticed them following that more lately too. :(

i just take them to the post office. oversized mailier is still cheaper than a box. the size 0 envelopes still let me send it as an envelope without the extra hassle of a parcel…so far anyway

Interesting. Maybe they run things different in NS as oversize usually jumps to parcel off the bat. There isn’t really an in between.

I am usually fine, I’m in NB. I do take them to the PO so that they can slip the bubble mailer through the little slit thingy to see if it’s “acceptable” but I’m getting pretty good at ensuring it’s flat enough as I haven’t had trouble yet and no one has reported non-receipt of my swaps! (knock on wood)

The parcel cutoff should be 2cm, not 1 cm. 20mm, actually; they have a slot to put it through (they don’t always do this but yeah, lately I’ve seen them doing it more often). I’m pretty sure that every swap I’ll send out will be in what’s technically an oversized envelope, you can fit up to 100g into an envelope that’s under 2cm thick, and mail it for less than $1.50.

I’m interested in the pu’erh, JING teas, some of the Teapigs, and a few of the Twinings green bags. I’ll post my list in a little bit.
