Comment: I don't like doing this but the swap I received did not meet the requirements on two counts. It was sent late with no notification (I don't have a problem with late sends as long as I'm notified) and it did not meet the $10 requirement. I'm not going to list why here to save you embarrassment but am happy to discuss via pm. Edited to add after many pms back and forth: I am not sure how I can make it clearer to you that you did not meet the requirements of the swap. If you truly have that much difficulty reading and understanding both my reasons and the original swap requirements perhaps you need to ask someone else to explain them to you. Continually stating that you met them when you so obviously did not is not going to make me change your rating. Nor is being rude to me, the recipient of your package, going to help in any way. Nor is continually sending me abusive pms! I am happy to share the postmark, the date you clicked sent, the contents of the package and the actual swap requirements with any host who wishes to contact me regarding this rating.

Comment: This swap was sent 10 days late. Send by date was 14th you contacted me 18th saying you were late will post 20th, swap was POSTED 24th.The WORST bit about receiving this swap was receiving it in the packaging of a swap I sent to you that you CLAIM to have not received yet. Your last claim of non receipt was on the 27th October yet the postmark on this swap you sent me ( IN MY PACKAGING with your details stickytaped over top of mine) is the 24th...therefore at LEAST 3 days after receiving my swap you were still lying about not receiving it. I used the same packaging right down to black marker on the front and my address in green on the back for all 4 of my partners I had to send to, in the swap you claim you did not get. How can this be? How does someone keep up the ruse of not receiving something they clearly did? I am not afraid to rate a 3 for a late swap and wont be held back by wondering if you will leave me a 1 in retalliation for the swap you did not receive yet you clearly have. Very dissapointed with the whole situation. VERY DISSAPOINTED. Follow up: It was the exact same parcel I sent you my Christmas swap in. It didnt 'look like' the packages it was the package. THE EXACT, you took the swap out and recycled the packaging allright, just a shame that you didnt think about the deceitful story you were in the middle of. To make it fully clear....The swap you sent me WAS posted in the packet I sent the swap in that you claim to have not received. EXACT means exact, AND you have the nerve to call me a bitch. You can delete and change any comment you write in your followup including calling me a bitch, It will end up making you look silly not me. I am done.

Comment: I'm really sorry for having to rate you a 3 in this... I did think very long and hard about it and much as I would have liked to just leave it, I could not in good conscience do so because this swap was really very late, with no notice whatsoever. Moreover, the package was marked sent 9 June but postmarked 22 June. Sorry. Edit: 7 Aug Well, it seems I have to be a bit more detailed as to why a "3" was left so here goes the story (and I will happily change the rating if Rachel tells me to do so). =) ******* I rated a 3 because: 1) I had to be the one to contact you (21 June) about the magazine when I hadn't received it. My message on 21 June: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/61156 Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that I've yet to receive the craft magazine swap... I noticed also you've marked it mailed on 9 June (which was a few days after the deadline). Did you send me a message that I missed? In either case, I will just wait another week for it before rating. Thank you! =) 2) I didn't receive a response to that so I had to send a 2nd message (25 June). My message on 25 June: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/61156 Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that I have not received this item. I know from Australia to Singapore takes a week but perhaps you are not in a city so two or three weeks however it's now 3 weeks after the swap deadline and I have still yet to receive it. I noticed you marked the swap as sent late too so I was wondering if it was sent late too? because I didn't get any notice from you... Let me know how would you suggest we work through this. Thank you! 3) Your reply (28 June) to my message in essence said that: - You didn't send late - You couldn't get into SB to cross it off because you had computer problems 4) You didn't inform me that you were going to send late (9 June instead of 4 June). You mentioned you had computer problems but if you could log on to mark it sent, you should have sent me a note saying it was sent late at the same time and I would have been okay with that. 5) When it finally arrived, it was postmarked 22 June (1 day after I had first contacted you asking after it). So I hope this clarifies things. Again, happy to change this if asked to do so by the powers that be. =)
