Ok quick question… I know I’m not signed up or anything, but since shezza currently has the box and is in Vancouver, would it be possible to wedge me in while the box is here? I also live in Vancouver so there would be no shipping cost for shezza!
No worries if this is too much to ask, just thought I would give it a shot. :)

The box has been in motion, sort of, and closed for a few months now. In keeping with the established tea box system, I am going to say no for two reasons. Once the participants have been established and we have all agreed on the terms, the lineup is closed. The interest in and momentum of the box is difficult enough to sustain as it stops and starts and rests throughout the country, so it is unfair for those at the end of the lineup to wait even longer, or possibly have to alter their plans.

The guidelines are posted. If we want to amend them as a group, then we let’s do so at the beginning of the next round.

The next box goes out at the start of November. Please join us then.

Hi everyone,

When Lala made up the lineup order, she did it keeping in mind that she would be the last in the list when the box comes to rest for a bit. Because now I am going to be the last in the queue and to save postage for all concerned, Tigress_al and I are switching places. The box will be going from shezza to Tigress_al.

To reiterate, the lineup is continuing thusly:

Shezza
Tigress_al
Christina
Sil
Evol Ving Ness

Jill here, I’m sorry about the problems I’ve been causing with the Teabox. Postal service is awful in my area and I should have been more on top of things than I was. I’m glad the box made it down the line (eventually) but because of the delays and of how busy my life has gotten I’ll sit out future rounds. Participating in this exchange has been a blast and gave me opportunities to try teas I might not have otherwise. Thank you all. :)

Hey Everyone,

I know it is way early, but I started a discussion thread for Great Canadian Travelling Tea Box Round Six which will be heading out the first week of November.

Christina—you must not be following me because I can’t send you a message.

My cupboard isn’t really up to date but does anyone have any requests? I was hoping to send it out tomorrow but I haven’t heard anything from Christina …
