What about those of us that have participated in box passes on other sites. I don't want to be left out because I am new to this site and don't post as much. I have been on snuscentrals forum for a long time.

What I'm reading here is: (1) We all agree there is a problem with the Noob Box Passes, but (2) we seem to have differing opinions on the causes and potential cures. Maybe we should just table the idea for a while until we've all had some time to think about it. There have to be some alternatives that we haven't thought of yet, but it seems to me there's no sense in rushing into the next one. Brilliant innovative ideas are more than welcome. I wish I had one to contribute, and maybe I will eventually, but I'm fresh out at the moment.
In the meantime, maybe people can use the exchange thread, until we come up with something better.Comment

Maybe smaller boxes, start one on persons 1-5, and the 2nd on persons 10-6, see if they cross over. I dunno.
I have given up really on ever seeing a box, so perhaps I'm too fatalistic and I was really looking forward to it given Iowa's current lack of snus.

I haven't participated in a box pass for a long time, but I had a lot of fun in the ones I was part of (even if the box got stolen). I really agree that trust and faith are important to the magic of something like this. It sucks to get burned (I know), but it's important to just shrug that off and make it right. I suggest not donating anything you would be heartbroken to see stolen. Once you donate your stuff and put your trust and faith in other people's hands you should accept that risk. If something goes wrong, shrug it off and just keep at it. There's a lot of people on this site willing to donate, so I don't see any shortage of stuff to put in the box or the replacement box. I would happily support a box pass without the extra qualifiers or new rules. I know some of you have really put some $$$ into these only to see it disappear, it's happened to me, it sucks really bad. But I suggest moving forward, as always, in good faith, knowing the risks, and letting karma work it out in the end.
Cheers!
Edit: I also think having smaller ones and more than one at once would be good to hedge the bet a bit.Comment

In my opinion, the snus that is put in the box, needs to come from the people that wish to receive the box. So, I say, we mail the snus to chad, chad sorts the X brands out and puts them in sandwich bags, then each person that sent in a can, gets their can back, with different portions inside. This way, everyone that wishes to participate will get to try some new snus and there is nothing for them to steal.
Each snuser should also send a few dollars to have the can shipped back to you.Comment

I can see this might get messy. Thing is I've had two boxes die. One was Noob Box and one wasn't. I think Chad had 4 lost. There's obviously a history here that people can't be trusted in general with this sort of thing. Posts do show your dedication to wanting to be in and a part of something. Perhaps providing a bit more info to the Route Master about yourself might be helpful, like your home phone AND cell phone. I don't think that anyone with good intentions would mind doing this. If people want to be trusted then maybe they should show that level of trust up front. Nobody wants to get a call at 3:00 in the morning but then again nobody wants to be screwed over either. I'm not saying that will happen, but I didn't think that the boxes would get lost this many times either. Just an idea.Comment

I like the idea of including cell numbers.Originally posted by WickedKitchen View Post
Also, I like the other idea of more than one box going. Perhaps one of the newer guys can start one up for newer guys. That might be fun too, and no post count rules on it.Comment

If you are saying 6 boxes got STOLEN, then I understand. I haven't read all the box pass threads. I would also suggest not sending snus to Chad if he lost 4 already LOL J/KOriginally posted by WickedKitchen View Post
I like to believe that SnusOn members in general (even the brand new ones) CAN be trusted with this sort of thing. At least for the most part (I mean don't send dead bird parts covered with mortar and you'll be good IMO LOL).Comment

I had 2 lost after I sent then, both full (50+ cans). Mrmynd stole the last one, and another one was "stolen from someones car".

Big difference between lost and stolen in my book, especially when talking about the character of people on this forum or in general. It's just like blaming BuySnus because UPS lost your shit.Comment

Would Registered mail be overkill? Then you would know if it was stolen or not.Comment
