My survey answer as a sender: I am an early bird sender, and have had some of mine lost/stolen in the mail, probably because I use festive colored envelopes that scream "gift" to some mail thieves. Or just plain bad luck on my part. But because I sent early, and saw from the b'day ladies list it did not arrive, I was able to send a 2nd card and still arrive "on time" for her birthday.
Conclusion: I think getting a card late and/or after my birthday is anti-climatic and not fun. So I hope my quilting friends aim to be early for me, and I will be early for them unless I hear from your survey here that it is not a popular idea. I am always willing to change to make my friends happier. Jane Quilter

It takes prep work at the beginning of the swap. I pre-make all my cards and pre-package all my candy. That makes it super easy to mail each month!
That said, I’m away from home visiting my daughter. But I’ll be flying back Saturday, after 2.5 weeks. Maybe I’ll have some prizes waiting.

I love getting mine early... It's the late packages that are annoying. Once my birthday arrives, I don't want to mess with tracking them any more.

I mail early and like receiving all month in my birthday month so I appreciate those that mail when it works best for them. I stack them up and and save them for my birthday. I find it exciting to see them stack up.

I mailed February birthday candies yesterday.
I was thinking about taking a year off but just loved all the candies I got this year and I need to make as many quilts as possible for Quilts for Cure this year so Barb, I'm in again for this year.
