Ratings Booster Postcard Swap *US only*
Swap Coordinator:goodgollymissmolly (contact)
Swap categories: Postcards 
Number of people in swap:26
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:February 26, 2008
Date items must be sent by:March 3, 2008
Number of swap partners:5
Description:

This one is easy. Five partners. Five postcards. Short turnaround. Little expense. Lots of good ratings (if you live up to your obligation). Swap is open to US swappers only this time to make it cheap, quick and easy.

Why Join?

Maybe you're new. Maybe you had health or family or personal issues and got behind and never got caught up. Maybe the swap you really did mail got lost, and you got stuck with bad ratings. Maybe someone decided they just didn't like you the minute they opened their mailbox even though you sent your swap and they RECEIVED it and they still gave you bad feedback. Or maybe you just like mail or postcards or licking stamps or writing with pens or going to the post office or buying postcards or, or, or. Whatever the case may be, now's the time to turn your ratings around, or establish them quickly, or just have fun & meet some new friends.

Note: Of course one does not need to have bad ratings in order to join. Those with good ratings are welcome as well. That is if they dare to tangle with us bad feedback types. Come on. Take a chance. Live dangerously.

What to mail?
One store-bought or handmade postcard (stamped and not in an envelope) to each swap partner you are assigned. There is no theme, send what ever you like, but make sure it can withstand travel and is not subject to mail censure (i.e. pornographic etc.).

When Do I Do This?
Last Day to Signup: Tuesday, February 26th
Last Day to Mail Cards By: March 3rd

MartKnitsSF- You're welcome. & TeaNi, thanks for pointing out what I failed to mention. I appreciate your help.

Awe, I had already joined this before you made it US only. :(

goodgollymissmolly 02/22/2008 #

BrandiMR- Sorry about that, but I got to thinking for really quick turnaround which is a big part of the aim of this swap, US only made sense.

Partners have been sent. You should have received email notice, if not just use the swap link to see who you send to!! Happy Swapping and please remember to rate your partners when all is said and done! Thanks for joining in!

Just to let my partners (cranialbleeding, FishFood, 07251987, butterflybear & DasBus) know your postcards are on their way to you...flying by the seat of their pants.

PiercedNinjette 02/27/2008 #

Evelyn, Kristina, Kay, Silvia, and Marion- I have sent your postcards out! I really hope you enjoy them!!

For anyone looking for lots of mail in the form of postcards beyond this swap, I just started another...Sweet Sixteen Postcard Swap-- Please join the fun, I mean madness, I mean fun.... http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/12521

Reminder!! Tomorrow is the last official day to mail your cards and please be sure to leave feedback for your partners. I've already received 2 cards and understand that 2 of my cards have been received as well, at least according to the feedback I've gotten. :-) Hope everyone else is seeing some cards trickle in daily!

goodgollymissmolly 03/ 2/2008 #

As of 11pm CST 3/2 I only see 5 still as "Not Sent". Please be sure when you do send, you don't forget to mark your cards as sent. :-)

goodgollymissmolly 03/ 4/2008 #

I have contacted the two swappers still listed as not sent as our deadline to mail was yesterday. I understand at least one of the swappers has been sick with a kidney infection, unfortunately. I am sure these two ladies will be getting their cards in the mail asap.

goodgollymissmolly 03/ 5/2008 #

****Please don't forget to rate your partners as your cards arrive!!!***** Thanks!! :-)

goodgollymissmolly 03/11/2008 #

I still personally haven't received ratings for 3 of my cards that I mailed at the same time as my other two (which were all sent on Feb 27th-) I have emailed those partners and gotten neither responses to my emails or ratings. If you haven't received a card from me and are due one, please let me know, or please take just a wee second to rate that you received your card a-ok. This was a "ratings booster" swap, after all, right?? I understand I am not alone in not hearing back from my partners, so anyone else who hasn't done so, please rate. Thank you!

DasBus 03/17/2008 #

I just sent messages to one partner who hasn't rated me yet, and to one who I haven't rec'd a postcard from. Since the latter has rec'd a rating from this swap, I know she sent postcards out, so even if I don't get mine, I won't leave a '1' rating, and just assume it was lost in the mail.
