Comment: nov. 18-2009, I just received this swap, thanks for resending it. I like everything you sent me. So I will gladly change this rating. I am sorry I have to rate you a 1 but the swap is still not here and I have been very patient as the deadline was months ago. We have been emailing about it to try to solve it and you sent another time but still nothing here....when I receive it I will re-rate you.

Comment: well, here we go again... she said she'd send this.. but I haven't gotten anything. if I get anything, I will rerate.

Comment: I got stamps finally, originally you stated wrong zip code that's explain why you had to resend. Anyway, That long wating(2.5 month) did not paid off. I am very disapointed ;-( Frogs are not my thing + I hate clear miniature stamps.

Comment: I absolutely loved your choices for this swap. A couple of weeks I gave my granddaughter "The Shy Little Kitten" which, by the way, I enjoyed as a child. What a small world that you should choose this very book! Also, the Lillie e Il Vagabondo (Lady and the Tramp) is another of my faves from childhood. You must be a mind reader. Anyway, thanks so much. Ciao.

Comment: I thought about how to rate this for a long time, and I have finally decided that 3 is most appropriate. I received a book, a molded plastic magnet and a molded plastic pen, packaged in an unpadded paper bag (? - it was just paper) sealed with shipping tape. The magnet and pen arrived broken. When I contacted her about the broken items, she said she spent a lot of money on the swap and used a "resistent" envelope, but a completely unpadded piece of paper is not resistant to being shipped overseas. She then suggested that customs intentionally broke it to check what was inside without having to open the packet and said she shouldn't be held responsible for the breakage. She said she spent a lot of money on the items plus shipping (which could be true, but after looking more closely, the book is damaged inside thanks to the damage from the pen, so everything I got is damaged!) and to be fair the book is nice but if you spend all that money, why not put it in a padded envelope? On top of that, it was sent over a week after the deadline date with no message to me. I'm very understanding about sending late if you just let me know! If it was me, I would have offered to resend similar things to the broken items as it was damaged due to the poor packaging. *Edit* I do not want to get caught up in your drama. I have saved the packaging you sent the swap in and IT IS NOT a rigid envelope so please do not lie. I will post a picture on Flickr if I need to. Sending late is not the issue - you sending things poorly wrapped in a paper bag is the issue. As for swap-bot not being the right place for me, if you see my profile, you'll see a lot of 5s and a lot of hearts and no 1s or 3s and I always send on time. I am not that strict either - I give out a lot of hearts for swaps even when I don't like what I have received, just because I can tell they tried to send something they think is nice. I'm sorry you supposedly spent so much money, but perhaps you should have invested more money in your "rigid envelope" too instead of disappointing me with 2 broken and 1 other damaged item after making me wait. The book you sent might have been nice if it wasn't covered in ink (inside and out) from the broken pen. Don't sign up for swaps you cannot fulfill. Take responsibility for your actions. If you travel all week, plan ahead and communicate with your swap partners. I will not pay any more attention to this swap or change the rating except to add the picture of your packaging if I need to. This swap is such a nightmare and it's made me pull back from swaps.

Comment: Thank you!

Comment: I'm extremely upset with the email I have just recieved from you and feel I have no choice to rate you a 3 for the lateness (well over a month late and defensive rudeness! I would have gladly given a 5 if you had held of with such a rude email and reply to my 1 rating which Incidently I was within rights to give, but didn't give until I was trying to update that unpublished 1 to a 5! I emailed you explaining it hadn't arrived before you told me you sent to the wrong addy! Also try to adhere to likes and dislikes - Hello Kitty and loose stationary is clearly marked under dislikes on my profile! Name calling and hasty emails wont encourage a 5, but a simple thougthful tailored package and apology would have!

Comment: Thank you for the awesome swap! I love the postcards, the cute heart-shaped box, the jewellery, the plaque, the sun and moon ornament, and the tiny notebook, which is extra-special! Thank you also for the pretty packaging. I really enjoyed this swap, and I apologize for the delay in rating. :-)
