Swap host will send to Trader #1
Trader #1 will send to Host
Host will forward to Trader #2 etc.
The way I read it is all potholders will be sent to the Host, my guess is that this is to insure that no one sends and doesn’t receive.
I hope this helps, there has been problems in the past of people sending their packages and not receiving anything in return so now the hostess/host of the swaps are doing their best to try to prevent anyone from being disappointed.
Okay, I get the idea...I'm not sure that 4 stamps would always pay for the postage though...pot holders will be different styles, weights, etc. It does sound like this will take a very long time for some to get their pot holders...hmmm...will have to think about this...thanks so much for the information!
