What this
costs you
Nothing to join, nothing to list. You only pay when something actually moves — and the smallest sellers pay the least.

Off what it sells for
Under 25 packets. Bigger lots step up, because a shop clearing a case isn't the same as somebody offloading six spares.

Each side of a swap
No money changes hands for the Loaded Teas, so there's no cut to take. A flat fee each keeps the lights on.

Postage
Paid at checkout by whoever's receiving. We generate the label so there's tracking on everything — on a trade you each pay for your own label here and we email it to you, which splits it down the middle.
Your first order ships free. Up to $5 comes off the shipping line on your first buy or trade, automatically. Heavier boxes pay the difference.
Where it goes. Card processing takes about 3% plus thirty cents every time money moves. The rest covers the labels, the servers and the emails. On a typical order we clear a couple of dollars — which is the point. This exists so there's somewhere safer than a comment thread to do this.
Questions
When do I get paid?
72 hours after it's delivered, or sooner if the buyer confirms. Then it's in your balance and you cash out when you want: instant to your debit card (2%, $1 minimum) or free to your bank in 2–3 business days. $5 minimum.
Why is there a fee on a trade at all?
There's no sale to take a percentage of, but the site still costs money to run. A flat fee each side covers the processing and keeps it going. Postage is separate — you each pay for your own label here and we email it to you, so neither of you fronts the other.
Do you mark up the postage?
Barely. It covers the label and the ones that come in heavier than we guessed. We're not building a business on shipping.
What if a trade falls through?
Before labels go out, nothing ships until you've both paid — so nobody goes first, and if they never pay their half it cancels itself after 48 hours and you get your money back.
What stops somebody taking my Loaded Teas and never posting theirs?
We own the tracking on both packages. If yours moved and theirs never did, your half is refunded, we pay you what your Loaded Teas were worth (that's the Scam-Free Guarantee), and they get a strike (three and their account's paused). You don't have to chase anybody.
Is there a way to pay less?
Bring your friends. Share your link from Invite & earn and you get $5 in credit for every friend who finishes 3 orders. Credit spends on anything here, trades and postage included.
Sounds fair?
Free to join, free to list, and nothing moves until the package does.
