Winter/Winter Holiday Block Swap
#582
The new package went back to Reno to get a yellow label, just got off the phone with Claims. And this is for the second package.....I guess the first one is just dead from what I was told. I can't believe this....I was told I should get the second package around Saturday! Stay tune I'll let you know....

Red, this is NOT your fault. The Post Office has complete idiots working for it. This is awful. Thank the lord it has tracking on it. But, I would be filing a serious complaint with the Post Office for their lack of professionalism.
Hostessing the swaps has gotten really stressful. These were supposed to be fun! I have pretty much stopped joining the swaps because the mail is so high. I could buy new fabric from what I'm spending in postage. It's pathetic. And, they don't even bat an eye when telling you the price!

Tell me about it, when I lived in Moore I could send 1 block in a envelope and it would only cost me the 44 cents for the stamp and they always weighed it. Well, I sent 1 block in a envelope and was charged over $2.00 for it....I was like heck I'm going to Orlando to mail these packages Perry is to high.....

I don't join to many swaps myself for the reason of the cost. I join about two a year. I'm a sucker for christmas and Halloween swaps. Well then I do love the puppy and chicken swap too. We haven't had any of those in a while.

It is outrageous that this package has been "lost" by the PO. I can't imagine what some of these postal clerks are doing with the mail. But honestly, I have never had any problems with anything I sent from my PO. Maybe some take their jobs a little more serious then others. I know that I have spent a lot on postage this past year on some of the swaps but I am finding ways to save money. I was using the flat rate envelopes and boxes but have found that sometimes using a dollar store padded env. saves me some money.
To Red, I am so sorry to hear that you are quitting being a hostess. Only someone who does this knows how much work you put into these swaps. Like the other ladies I will be sorry to see you stop.
