Today’s post will be the first poll in what will probably be a series of polls/posts so that I can gather more information on what the majority would like to see when it comes to the upcoming giveaway I have planned, so please be patient with me. I have already decided to open this contest/giveaway internationally since I did not have a lot of participation when it was only open to the USA. However (and I will be reiterating this SEVERAL times), I will not be responsible for the prize not arriving or getting lost in the mail or being held up in customs. So my next order of business is from what brand would you like to see the prize come from, (again I’m pretty sure I know the answer already) but I will still offer the options! Please vote below, voting will be open until the next poll goes up, whenever that will be.
So grateful that you choose to do a giveaway for your readers and that you are prepared to open it internationally. As one of your internation readers, it would be quite reasonable for you to ask a recipient to cover postage if they want to participate (whole or in part). Probably pre-empting a future poll here, but I think something with a crown motife would be lovely to represent your blog.
That’s very sweet of you, I might consider that, it’s just that then I feel like it’s not a completely free giveaway you know what I mean? But like I said I will definielty keep that in mind. You are the second person to mention a crown charm, I’ll have to see what Pandora has in the crown themes. I think the one that l looked like my older logo got discontinued, and at the moment I can’t remember what other crown charms they have.
Thank you for opening this up internationally…I’m an international follower myself. Could I suggest that perhaps, if the prize is gifted to an overseas recipient, I feel it would be reasonable for them to cover the cost of postage. I know I’d be personally happy with this. Love following you, thanks so much for the time and energy you put in, kindly appreciated.
You are the second person to mention this, is it common for a prize winner to help cover cost of postage?
I’m not sure if it’s common, but certainly reasonable seeing as though you have opened it internationally. It’s is common when having won a prize or a giveaway to collect such items, so I think (personally) it would be fair of you to require any international recipients to cover the cost of postage 🙂
Thanks!!! I’m really going to consider it!
Thank you so much for including international readers in your giveaway 😊 It is always so disappointing when wishing to either purchase an item online or enter a competition that is international, only to find out we are not eligible or they don’t ship international. I wouldn’t be very happy to be required to pay shipping costs though, as I am currently unemployed.
Thank you for your input I greatly appreciate it. However this puts me back in a tough spot because I’m still unsure of how to handle postage. I might be willing to cover the entire cost of shipping, but I can’t afford the tracking and will be very scared to be held responsible for something that didn’t arrive or got held up in customs you know what I mean?
