I received another trade in the mail yesterday. Thank you. Problem is, I have about 20 trades presently ongoing and some from a few weeks back due to the slower mail. When I opened this one, there was nothing to identify who sent it or what trade # it was. Now if it was a larger trade, I would be able to figure it out quite quickly as they are fewer. But when it is a trade of 30 cards or less, it makes it quite difficult to identify.
It has been repeated here in the Forums over and over again - identify your trade either with your ID or the trade # or both inside the package. This just makes it easier for your trade partner. I think most of you who are in the minority are receiving this courtesy from the majority of us. Please take up this practice.
Problem with this Forum post is that many never bother reading anything in the forums so many of the valuable suggestions not only in trading but in submitting IR, entering checklists, or improving scans never get to those who really should read them. I wish there was a way to force those who fail to learn, to read some posts.
On the positive side, this member packaged a mix of 22 cards and Topps coins between two pieces of cereal boxboard inside a 9x6" envelope and sent it to me for all of $1.60 from KS. Yes, postage to Canada need not cost you an arm and a leg.
