i'm so excited about this swap! i am new to this whole thing and cant wait to make my goodie box:) i have a question though, what is the color theme for this swap?

user1447 07/ 9/2006 #

hmm, I have a lot of used stuff, that's not in mint condition at all. But it IS really interesting stuff...

Minimum of ten items ... $20 ... so no item should be more than $2 or so? What if you do less than ten but more expensive items? Thanks! My partner is going to get cool Hawaiian papers from a cute store called Paper Roses. I am very excited for this to start!

does anyone know where to start with their partner who hasn't put any information about themsleves on swap-bot and only has a rating one with some bad feedback?

some likes or dislikes would be good....

fieryeyed 07/17/2006 #

There is no color theme but feel free to create one for your partner!

Fewer more expensive items are fine! The papers sound gorgeous!

As for little info on your partner - I would drop them an email and ask if they have any special intrests in regards to paper goods!

Hi,

The person I'm supposed to send to (Plumeria / Happy Swapper) has five bad ratings for not shipping items. Should I still send to her or could I be assigned someone new?

user1775 07/21/2006 #

Hi all - Since the Swap adminstrator isn't responding and I'm new to this - can anyone else tell me what I should do? Do I just suck it up and send to her even though she has five (5!) no-ships? I have a great package and I would hate for it to be wasted on someone who hasn't been playing by the rules.

todsahonchik 07/21/2006 #

I agree in that I think after one or two no-ships, they should not be allowed to sign up OR people should pick their own partners. I just sent mine out to someone who hasn't responded to their last 2-3 swaps. Seems like you should be booted after one or two misses. Wish we could have picked our own partners, because I sent a very nice package and now I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but still doubtful.

I am so sorry – I always forget about his posting area! I had this issue come up in another Swap and she actually contacted Swap-bot for help. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do on my end to assign you a new partner (the site will not allow me to do so) – let me know if they can’t help you and we’ll figure something out!

user1775 07/22/2006 #

Hi Jen, I sent her a package and we'll just hope that she sends one out as well. I believe in Swap Karma - eventually her bad behavior will come back to her. :)

user1867 07/25/2006 #

We need to realize that shipping takes time, sometimes longer than 2 weeks. I got 2 no sends but one was changed when she got it and the other is international and hasn't arrived yet, I have held back on submitting bad reviews myself because I know the mail can sometimes take time, I would hate to give someone who went to extra effort for me a bad review because of the mail system. It has rather taken all the fun out of the swapping for me. I thought it would be like giving and receiving gifts in the mail, but it seems people are more greedy to receive something than in participating in the spirt of swapping. I tried to spend time and consideration on my partners but somehow the joy has been killed for me :( Some of my swaps have been over for some time and some of my partners haven't even clicked the I sent my items part. I'm sure if someone has a ton of no sends then yes, they are probably not a good person to send too, but please check all reviews and see what the time period has been since they were rated before you judge people, it really hurts to be misjudged. :(

user1775 07/26/2006 #

Hi Debi,

I completely agree with you. In this case, the person now has 10 no ships and she never responded to my email. This isn't greed on my part because I'm not the one receiving - but someone in the group won't receive anything because of this person and that isn't fair or in the spirit of the swaps.

todsahonchik 07/26/2006 #

I think you both have a point... swappers who are unfairly scored because of shipping time and those who receive nothing because of irresponsible swappers. I think there is progress being made in "swapland" because the last few swaps I've seen require a score of 3 or higher to participate....

Sent today!

user1940 07/31/2006 #

aiaiai! the postage was as $$ as the package but it was sent nonetheless.

todsahonchik 08/ 2/2006 #

Awesome package Katey J! Thanks so much!!!

user1702 08/ 6/2006 #

Hi Marie--Just wanted you to know that your items are on their way. I'm sorry that you haven't gotten them sooner. I'm now home and back to par. Thanks for understanding. I hope you enjoy the items I've sent.

Susannah I hope you have received your items. They were late due to Medical emergencies we are having right now. i hope you like.

user2021 08/14/2006 #

has my partner sent my package? i havent recieved it yet

user1940 08/16/2006 #

i haven't received mine either...???

user925 08/18/2006 #

me either. :(

beckylicious721 08/21/2006 #

neither have i and judging by the stellar track record of my swap partner, i don't have any lofty expectations :(

user1940 08/23/2006 #

i received a disappointing package that was more like paper scraps than paper goods AND i had to pay $19 customs&taxes because the value declared was $100. This is something to think about when shipping out of country; the recipient often has to pay taxes based on declared value so please don't overvalue items. This swap has cost me $60 and while i'm happy to have sent what i think was a great package to my partner (who also wrote that she's happy with it) i can't help feeling a little bummed about what i received. i hope i don't sound ungrateful. i've received some amazingly beautiful& thoughtful gifts here and i love putting together gifts to send. This one just didn't meet requirements of new or handmade.

A handmade swap is a great way to share among us your love of handmade products with others. Swap your favorite items from your home, or from the store you shop at. You can even find items that are not available in your area.
