It's funny you guys mention this...
Having started the dutch box in april (or was it may???) and being part of
Duck's international promo box showed me just the opposite... For the dutch
box, we had 6 participants and a full round took little over 2.5 months.
International box took a bit longer naturally, but still I would consider
it a great succes.
For the dutch box, I set some rules which really paid off... everybody that
got a box was to email me, and everybody that shipped a box, was to email
me and the next person on the list (I included a list with all the
addresses to make things easier) Also, it was a rule a box had to be
shipped again within 2 weeks. We didn't tell eachother what we put in or
took out, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got the box back for the
first time.
Now we're into round 2, with 8 people so I can't wait to see what it'll
look like. Will be quite interesting to see if over time things will take a
turn for the worse...
