You can help me out, if you have mailed and your secret pal has not pm'ed you, send them a pm to see if they have gotten it and remind them to pm me. We need to have alot of people off the bench before we can start sign ups for June.
I've been participating in this swap for and entire year and I CANNOT BELIEVE that there are 67 people who haven't sent their packages yet. That's more than 1/3!! The mailing deadline was over a week ago! I sent and received my packages early in the month. So why am I so outraged by this?
Because I believe that signing up for the swap and then not sending your package by the mailing deadline is just irresponsible!!
We have 2 weeks to get the packages out after finding out who our partner is. If you can't get your package out within the alloted time, then DON'T sign up!! It has been such a delight to participate in this swap. I would be very disappointed if it got pulled because people can't follow the rules!!
Grammynan, I agree with you, I've been participating in this swap for nearly a year and I thoroughly enjoy it, but I too get annoyed reading that people have not yet sent their package, I admit mine went out on the last day of the deadline, (I tried to mail earlier but didn't finish homemade item) but I was "on time" within the guidelines. I think all of us can do better, I hate to think that we may lose this priviledge, (after all soon no one will want to host if we keep abusing this priviledge) moderators and hosts are plenty busy WITHOUT having to constantly remind us to do the right thing!!!! That being said I will again say that I received an awesome firmy this month.
