Stuffed Envelope Swap

5 pounds = $7.86 right? hope I calculated that right haha.

Yeah I think that's about right according to Google :)

I'm joining this as my first swap! I don't know what admins look for as a "well filled out" profile so if someone wants to take a peek, or let me know. I'm Housefulofgrls on Instagram and feel like that would be most helpful to those wanting to know a little about me.

I'm interested in this swap but 4.97 seems a bit low for a £5 swap. Would you consider putting it at 4.98 or 4.99?

Housefulof -- your profile looks fine to me.

Im excited this will be fun

This is my first swap as wellbi am so excited

This is my first swap, so I hope my profile is good enough :)

This is my first. So excited

Quite a few people in this swap do not have a profile filled out, which is a concern.

For Canadians: I was just at the postal today Because I am so excited about my first swap. They told me to hawaii from canada it is a Month to get their Approx two to three weeks to other countries And to U.S.A from Canada takes up to two weeks. I had a great day shopping for my envelope swap. Have a great day!

I will check profiles before assigning partners and any people with profiles not filled out will be deleted from the swap. It will be done before I click assign. Hope this is okay, I will take the time out to do this closer to the deadline date @stlouisphile

@hazelwitch sorry for the late reply...For now I am leaving it at 4.97 but I will be taking a good look through profiles that are rated less than 5s or not filled out a few days before I assign partners. I will delete anyone that seems unreliable or has a badly filled out profile. I hope this is okay as I promise to take my time to hunt through all profiles and ratings.

Isn't 3 days a bit short for a time to send in?

@starhiker I agree. I'm in Australia and we are a day ahead, so for me to wait for partner, is an extra day. Only gives me 2 days to send - and that is only IF the host assigns at first opportunity to do so.

@starhiker @lizard fair enough I didn't take this into consideration. The date has been extended.

I have already updated a few rules as this seems to have attracted a lot of swappers I want to take the time out to ensure no one gets flaked on so I am currently looking and re - looking at profiles.

Thank you. The extended send date will help me choose items that are more profile specific if possible.

Congrats on being The top swap! Woohoo!

Would love to join this swap but I am a newbie and not sure what I have to do..

This will be my first swap. SO EXCITED!!!!!

I am very excited to participate in this swap! Hopefully my profile is filled out enough, seeing that I am a newbie haha! :D

Like many others, this is also my first swap. I just double checked my profile to make sure things were filled out, but if I need to do more, please let me know and I'll do so. Thank you... I'm excited and nervous (What if I don't do this right???). :)

If anyone would like to ask me questions for guidance on this swap feel free to drop me a private message :) I will help as best I can @IbeeCrazie @WickedRo

I have a question about this kind of thing when it is international..how do you fill out customs forms when there are so many varied items?

I don't know about US but in UK when I take mine to the post office I just have to declare it like "stationery" and "confectionery/sweets" I never have to say exactly what it is. I can just group the items. Depends what you are sending but usually my items only fall under 2 or 3 categories.

Hi! This is my first swap on here but I have done swaps with other people before! If you have any questions, feel free to let me know :)

I am interested in doing this swap but considering this is a larger package, I really dont know if this would be worth the pay to ship out of the country. I think Ill just watch and enjoy you all having fun.

I want to join... But I'm uncertain... Especially since I am really active on this site, but sometimes don't log in for a few days. It's not because I forget about it, but rather, have no current swaps. I have a well filled out profile and have never flaked...

@catladyeri the not logging in rule is more for people who have recent flakes or no rating etc...people who could potentially let their partners down. I see you have good ratings I would not block you

SORRY!! I had to quit! SPAIN IS AVAILABLE!

Is my profile filled enough to join this swap? I love stuffed envelopes..full of surprise!

Wow, 100 so far in this swap that is amazing

I cant wait to get my partner so I can start stuffing her envelope. :) So excited!

This is one of my first swaps, I've already been putting fun goodies together! Can't wait!

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only newbie here, nor am I the only excited one! I can't wait to assigned my partner so I can go shopping for lots of personal things to buy her!!

@rifga yeah your profile is okay im sure you will find you will build and add onto that the more swap you do.

Hope my profile is decent! Look forward to participating in this swap :)

Hi there,

This is probably a silly question, but I'm not really sure and I therefore decided to ask you lovely people: the 40 gr are with or without the envelope? I'm fairly sure it's without, but I just wanted to check. Thanks!! :D

I am not here to spoil the joy, but it is very remarkable that these kinds of swaps attrack a lot of swappers ... especially newbies ...lol Happy swapping:)

For your recipients: try to have postcards and such protected from bumpy items so the postcards do not arrive damaged from other things in the package

Um I didn't really think about that ...40 grams without envelope I think :)

I am new to this swap and I'm not sure if my profile is "well filled out" if someone can take a look at let me know if I need to edit/add anything! I'm excited to do this swap!

When are the partners being assigned

I thought it was today

I thought it was today

Newbie here too (though I'm not new tro swaps). I hope my profile is ok as I'm pretty excited!

@Acecandy Last day to sign up is today. After the host checks 125 profiles gasp then she will assign partners. It could be a couple of days before that happens... It's a big job on a swap this huge.

This sounds like a fun swap and a very heartfelt idea!!

Yes -- with so many swappers, it will take the host time to check them all properly -- but it's important that she does that because it helps keep the swap safe for all of us.

Ok thx.

Hi apologies for not assigning partners should be done by tonight or tomorrow morning as I got called into work and couldn't give the full attention I have begun checking through and I have a final few profiles to look into

Thanks to everyone for being patient

I will also extend sending deadline to give plenty of time to collect items to send :)

=bumb= partner that needs to send to me is suspended @giastemat Hope it will turn out okay.

Just awaiting a reply from another participant then hopefully I can pass your address onto them :)

HI -- just checking that the deadline was changed to Feb. 5. :)

@singing171 yes it was as it took me while to work through some profiles.

This doesn't''t relate to this swap but its a general question: How do you rate someone after you have received a letter??

If you go to the swap on the right hand side it says "rate partner and co ordinator" @AnaVerduzco

How do you view which partner is sending to you? I have my package all set for my partner, but I was just curious about that.

Come join Thriftstore Find group if you have an USA address. Too!

If you go to rate your Co ordinator and partner it will say :) @AllyZoldos

A reminder tomorrow is swap deadline :) I will Co tact anyone who hasn't sent on the 6th (allowing for time differences)

Hope everyone has had fun swapping :)

I still have not received anything from my partner. She sent me a message over a week ago, yet nothing has arrived yet. I'm new and pretty disappointed this has happened to me, do I rate a 1 now? Is there a deadline on how long I have to rate?

@AllyZoldos if the package is international it can take longer than a week to arrive sometimes it can take 2 or 3. Please allow a little longer and keep in contact with your partner. Please message me privately if you have more problems as I check my messages nearly every day but I Don't check this page as much any more as the swap deadline has gone

Thanks :)
