Swapper personal information is kept private on Quilting Board in swaps & your All About Me page, etc. I Private Message (PM) swappers to request their address for each swap even though it was given to me as the host in the last swap. I delete their PM response after the swap is over to protect their personal info & to reduce my PM mailbox count. People relocate, too.
Swap Host (Central Shipping Point Distribution) cost is minimal. Mail costs to & from a Host is usually under $10 for me, usually under 5 cents a charm, my personal goal. If international swappers participate costs escalate but a Host only has to mail back to them in one shipment, cutting costs further. I'd rather save the money, maybe buy fabric with it!!! FYI, I'm a former postal carrier.
Some QB members PM others on board that they've befriended to see if they are willing to do a personal swap. Hope this info is helpful.
I'm in the Secret Santa swap, too. It's wonderful!
hugs,
dj
