Comment: (This first rating was left Jan 20, 2013; Update was left 9/30/13)You've deleted your account, but I will leave this rating anyway. I'm rating a 3 because the deadline to send was 12/10. On 12/12 you sent me a message saying you had sent it but hadn't marked Sent on the swap yet. However, the photocard was not postmarked until 12/17. UPDATED 9/29/13 (ETA: Update began 9/29 but technically was left 9/30 as clock rolled past midnight): Rcvd Swap-bot email stating comment was left to my rating of 9 months ago. Wanted to leave further facts to this swap as @oliviadonkit appears to have come back 9 months after deleting her account and left replies to my 3 and another's 1 rating that almost sound as if she's shifting the blame for her 2 low ratings onto the raters. Fact 1: Deadline for this swap was Monday 12/10/12; Fact 2: On Wednesday 12/12/12 I rcvd short PM stating she "sent the card" but hadn't "marked sent yet because we have been having local flooding" and that "makes it hard for the post to go out". That's all that was said. @oliviadonkit now states in her reply to my 3 rating that she got no response to her PM back then and she is correct. I didn't perceive a reply was necessary. Fact 3: On Friday 12/14/12 she marks the swap as "Sent"; Fact 4: When I received it, the card was postmarked Monday 12/17/12, one week past the deadline. Fact 5: She has only rcvd 2 ratings out of 3 for this swap. And Fact 6: It was really up in the air for me as to whether her "card" even met swap requirements. She sent a flat photo card. The swap specifically stated this was for actual cards not postcards and in the discussion of the swap it was explained that a message should be written "inside" the card. There was no "inside" to this photocard, as it was a single flat card, much like a postcard would be. I stand by my 3 rating and wonder why this swapper would come back, after deleting her account 9 months ago, and then leave replies to her low ratings that sound a touch like blame-shifting.
Or more simply:
Swap Deadline - Monday 12/10/12
PM Rcvd - Wednesday 12/12/12
Swap mkd."Sent" - Friday 12/14/12
Photocard postmkd. - Monday 12/17/12
Response: Oh it is ok because while I messaged and explained that the local flooding was delaying our mail to go out and I got no response I probably "deserved" this 3.
