March Secret Pal Swap Closes Feb 28th 4pm
 

Description:
This is a monthly secret pal swap. There is a sign up every month, and you can choose whether or not to participate each month. You will get a different partner every month, and the person you send to will be different than the person you receive from.




1) YOU NEED TO SEND THE HOSTESS A PRIVATE MESSAGE WHEN YOU MAIL YOUR PACKAGE TO YOUR SECRETPAL.

2)ONCE YOU GET YOUR PACKAGE FROM YOUR SECRET PAL, YOU WILL NEED TO SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO THE PERSON WHO SENT THE PACKAGE TO YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU DID RECEIVE IT AND TO THANK THE SENDER.

3) AFTER YOU HAVE THANKED YOUR SECRET PAL, YOU WILL NEED TO SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE TELLING ME THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR PACKAGE SO THAT I CAN KEEP ACCURATE RECORDS.

FAILURE TO SEND THESE PRIVATE MESSAGES IS REASON ENOUGH TO BE BANNED FROM THE NEXT MONTHS SWAP.


PACKAGES NEED TO BE SENT OUT BY March 15th, this is a FIRM deadline (NOT A SUGGESTION). IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT MAIL BY THAT DATE, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP. You can send your package as early as you'd like!


If you are sending an international package it will need to be mailed by the 10th of March. Due to mail processing, our mail dates for international mailing has to be as early as possible! No later than the 10th of March. It can take many weeks to reach your SP so any delays in mailing can delay the start of the next month’s sign-up sheet being posted.


Once you have decided to join the swap, please send me a PM with the completed information sheet.



Our International board members are welcome to join the swap.

There is a 10 dollar budget for this swap. Items from your stash or homemade items are not included in the $10 limit. Postage isn't included in the ten dollars. The most important thing to remember with the budget is to have fun, but please do NOT SPEND MORE THAN $10.



Sign ups will close the 28th of February, and names will be paired on the 1st of March and sent out no later than the 2nd of March. (I will try to have all names out on the 1st.)


2. If your pal does not receive her/his package within a reasonable time (7 days max from mailing deadline for within the same country. Then I will need tracking information, 15 days for between countries. There are exceptions, but I MUST be notified of any delays in sending on your end). Failure to comply may result in the following:


This is why it is imperative that you keep the hostess informed on ANY mailing issues. Along with negative feedback, you will not be allowed to participate in future secret pal swaps. It is also possible that other coordinators will not allow you to participate in their swaps.

It's all about fun, so please have fun with it.

If you have questions, please PM me and I will try to answer as quickly as possible.

I'm English, Irish, Scottish, Dutch and American Indian! I am trying to get a message to Gaijin and her mailbox is full. If anyone knows her number or email please ask her to get ahold of me, I am trying to give her her secret pal information.

Got my SP's name. Now to get her package together. We have been SP before.

Got my SP's info, thanks Lori.
Reading the info I already got some ideas, can't wait to start and get things together. Hope she won't mind a few Dutch items :-)).

Lori she has been in the States, think it was her father or brother that fell off a ladder and got hurt. She just returned to Japan yesterday (I think) so she will probably be cleaning out mailbox soon.

Got my sp name. Can't wait to get things together for her!

All names are given out now so if you do not have one then you need to contact me right away! Don't forget to send me a message when you mail your package and when you receive your package and send a thank you to your secret pal. Thanks. Lori
