USA Big Fat Stuffed Envelope Swap #6

I absolutely love these swaps. I love getting a envie stuffed with awesomeness.

Just wondering what your idea of "big, fat and stuffed" is? Because the last two times I've made my envelope "big, fat and stuffed", what I've received in returned was, "small, thin and practically empty".... So... are we allowed to rate a "3" if the envelope isn't "big, fat, and stuffed"?

Absolutely. If the swap does not meet swap requirements then you have the right to rate that way. However, keep in mind, that all that is required is the 4 x 9 inch, business sized envelope. So if a person chooses to send you a larger envelope, then the larger size does not need to be stuffed full but rather it must include enough items to stuff a 4 x 9 size envelope full. Hope that clarifys. If you still have questions, just let me know.

Great, thanks! I would never want to rate anyone a "3". That is never my intention. I like swaps to be fun. I just want them to be fair, also. I always put my best into every swap. That's my point :) Thanks wolfeagle! You always put together great swaps :)

i love these :3

I LOVE these swaps! I always find something fun from my partners profile, and always get something fun back too :)

@rinfrog - you must be lucky! I got 95% things I put in my profile as stuff I don't want,lol!!

I've had it go both ways, some good and some not so good swaps. Overall, far more good ones then bad. This is not a profile swap, so while it is nicer to get stuff you like or stuff off your profile, the sender can send stuff that they have on hand if it is in good usuable condition. I think the not knowing what you are getting is part of the fun. I always just pass on the things that I will not be able to use to someone who can.

@wolfeagle - these are great, that's why I am trying again! : )

Yay! I've signed up for two of these and was deleted (not sure why-maybe my newbie status!) I'm super excited about this swap and have a plethra of goodies on hand for jewelry making, card/scrapbook making and all sorts of other crafts! Can't wait to do this swap...I'm already thinking of what I'll send!

Just signed up to swop -- and I am excited. i have lots of stuff to send someone....can't wait.

My package has been ready to go forever now...I am going to make someone really happy. Will the date ever get here...LOL

I love these kinds of swaps...I would like to ask my partner not send Christian items, please. A surprise is great, but I would never send my partner offensive materials just because...

A million thanks! :)

Is this considered a parcel/package when you send this, because of it being uneven and thick inspite of it being in a 4x9 envelope? What has everyone's experience been. I want to send it without lining up at the post office, but i do not want it returned or have my partner pay more for postage.

@Rita yes, I mail it as a package because of the thickness.

I am confused--I signed up but didn't get a name. Do we just get our envelopes ready and get a name at the last minute before sending? I have lots of great stuff to swop. Hope someone sends me the same...

@PamelaArts In the swap description information (above) there is a date listed that is the last day to sign=up. Until then, people will be signing up. After that partners will be assigned and you will get an email saying your partners have been assigned. The other date, is the date your swap must be sent by. You can mail your package as soon as you have your partner information, no need to wait to the last minute. If you have other questions, just ask. Also the FAQs for new members an dthe help section are awesome when you are new.

If you want stuff it helps to write enough info on your profile so we can get a feel about what to send. I think that people send stuff that shows who they are and where they are in life. I think it is fair to assume that much is expected and the more the merrier for both parties involved in the swap. When you give much, you receive much. Maybe not right a way but eventually it all comes around.

I love this swap,so nice to get something you no nothing about,Cant wait to get name.

I will say, I was flaked on but then beautifully angeled in the last of these. Wolfeagle is an excellent swap host! I'm looking forward to taking a chance again!

I'm new :) This is just the perfect swap for me! You would not beleive the beads, ribbons, old postcards and photos, quilt squares and everything else under the sun that I have managed to accumulate in the last few years! You can definately count on me :)

I am really looking forward to this swap! I'm new to swap-bot and this will be my second swap... I've already started putting things together for it =]

I can't wait to do this swap. It's my first time on any swap but from all the comments, it sounds so fun. I'm ready to get going on it.

I've been getting things ready in my envelope...once I see who my partner is, it may have to go up yet another size :o)

I'm waiting to see if my partner is Male before I start stuffing. Don't want to send female things to a guy.

It's getting close and I have started dropping people so please make sure your profile is filled out and that you live in the US.

Anxiously awaiting the 18th :o)

I noticed a couple of the newbies that signed up haven't been online in over a week. Also noticed a couple with 1-2 sentences in their profile. I may drop for this reason. Sorry, I've been flaked on alot in the past.

If I can request no DVD's or CD's please that would be great. Otherwise any types of craft supplies are wonderful!!! Getting my envie ready and waiting to see what my partner's profile looks like for some extra goodies!! Love this. Thanks @wolfeagle !!!

@shabbypink123 Anyone uncomfortable with this swap should drop it. There are many swaps that you can choose from so you should not join one that you don't really want to do. @dizzysgram I'm so glad you are excited about the swap but it is sender's choice...so you may get a dvd or something else that's not your style. I hope your partner would be considerate of your profile, but technically they can send any item(s) that are in good condition. If you do get something you dont care for, then you can always pass it on later to someone who may like it. It's just a chance we take when swapping.

when will there be an international version again. Loe these swap!!

Loe = love, sorry

204 people in a swap?! lol - wow! Make it 205! This sounds fun!

Ahh I've never done this before but I'm SUPER excited. Can't wait to dip my toes in the water with this!

The send by date is my birthday, so I'll have to join this one. I like the idea of sending someone else a gift for my birthday. :o)

well i got a little carried away on this one

This will be one of my my first swaps but I am SO excited. I am already putting things together & can't wait to see who my partner is so I can tailor it a little better! Excited for my first swap! Woot!

I hope a small flat rate box counts. It's exactly the size of 3 stacked dvds and I just measured, and its about 5 1/2 x 7 1/2. Thats all I have on hand, and I stuffed a large beanie buddy, beanie baby, and a teenie in one of my ebay orders and could barely close it. Not one millimeter of that box didnt have tape consuming it, but they still accepted the bulging package. This is my first swap and I'm a little nervous. Im hoping I get matched with someone that has a filled out profile so i know what to send!

So excited to participate in my first swap - this is going to be great!

Since today is the deadline for joining, how soon will we receive our swap partners? I'm really excited since this is my first swap. Sounds so fun!!!!!!!

I usually assign partners the first day I can, which would be tomorrow. Thank you all.

This is my first swap as well, cant wait to fill my envelope and send it out. Thanks for allowing me to join.

Yay. Partners have been assigned. Have fun swapping.

Is anyone angeling this?? I have a feeling I'm going to be flaked on this one. :( My partner hasn't been on Swap-Bot in 2 weeks.

I'll angel!

Thanks @ncfriend We can always use angels. Once we are sure a person has flaked and they have been rated a 1 by their partner, then I will help you find an angel if needed. Thanks.

I'm new to swap bot and haven't been flaked on yet, but my partner still hasn't sent my package. Are we supposed to contact our partner?

Yes. Please contact your partner by PM and by email (as some people check email more often). If you do not get results, RATE your partner with a 1 before contacting me about finding an angel. Good luck. I'm still hoping your envelope is on the way :)

I've been flaked by jaco. Boo Hoo!!!!

Hate flakers. You have an angel envelope on its way @funkhoup

Thanks so much. You made my day. I love doing these stuffed envelopes, It's a shame people flake. Why sign up???

I've definitely been flaked on, BrittanyMarie has deleted her profile! I was waiting because she said she was sending late due to her wedding shower, but I'm not sure it was ever sent. I've given her a 1, but since she's gone she won't ever see it. Grrrr....

I'm only done 5 swaps and this is my second flake!

@Lyssachelle Just seeing your post....if you are ever flaked on in the future, please PM the host so they know about it. If you only leave a message after the swap has ended, it may get missed.
