February-April 2012: I have hard time with my exams. If you pm me please give me at least two days to reply.

Please read swap-bot FAQ

- What do I do if I didn't receive a swap package for a swap I participated in?

• First, think about the date. Is it at least two weeks past the mail deadline? You need to allow for shipment time because not everyone sends theirs out right away, some wait until the actual deadline date. You may also be receiving your package from someone overseas. International packages can take a very long time to arrive, sometimes up to four, or even six, weeks. Remember that you can rate your partners at any time, so unless you have some other reason to think your partner has not sent, you should allow an appropriate amount of mail time before giving a poor rating. It is also good etiquette to contact your sending partner before rating them poorly.

Mail from Russia to USA (Canada, Australia) usually travel for 20-30 days. A little less to Europe. BUT! It can travel up to 60 days. Please, be patient and don't get disappointed with me very soon =))

I will always contact you in a month after deadline.

Russian mail service is a little... well, uncivilized. I'm living on the outskirts of the city and have only one postbox here. I'm dropping almost all my swaps in it. But they can be marked by the main post service a few days after dropping. There is nothing I can do with that. I'm trying to drop swaps earlier. I didn't had any bad response from partners yet, but if there will be any I probably will quit swap-bot because I'm too tired to go to center if city to find any another postbox. Nobody loss, I swear :)

Except that I'm a good swapper :)

If you haven't received something from me, please contact me. And I never rate low my partners (unless they are obvious cheater) without any message.

I'm always send type 3 swaps by registered mail. If you are my partner please pm me and I'll send you tracking number for package.

I'm 27 years old God's creature, living in the cultural capital of Russia with my girlfriend. =) I'm spending last 7 years trying to avoid telling lie in any form. It's hard sometimes but I'm happy with eventual result and person I became. I can keep silence sometimes but I will not tell a lie. I think it's important thing to know about me.

I'm trying all my best to be interesting for you. English is not my native language, please remember that. Never planning to offend you.

My wishlist for postcards:

• sea, river or beach - sunny or storming.
• anything water related (rain, waterfalls, sailing-ships, fishmen)
• umbrellas
• adult cats
• road signs
• ANY social advertising postcards. Please check my collection here: http://picasaweb.google.ru/daarhon/Social
• women dressed like a men (postcards or ad-cards)
• men dressed like a women :)
• GLBT related (postcards or ad-cards)
• beautiful modern art. Something... well, understandable if possible. Not surrealism.
• postcard from USA city called Saint-Petersburg. With the city name on postcard.

It's ok if you don't have anything in my wishlist. Any touristic postcard will be fine. Especially from little towns. I prefer my cards written and stamped. But if you send them in an envelope I'd prefer them not written.

• sweets - dark plain chocolate (without nuts), hard (boiled) candies, sour candies, lollipops, marcipane.
• I can kill someone for Godiva Dark Pearls.
• tea - flavored black, herbal or fruit tea. Spicy tea! Tea by Tazo is my favorite. And only individually wrapped tea bags please.
• socks - warm and fuzzy.
• coffee/tea mugs! If you can send me Starbucks City Mug from yours or neighbors city you'll get a heart and something back (by mail) from me.
• appointment books / day planners.
• art books (books with art or photo primary)
• fridge magnets
• colorful envelopes (handmade or not)
• unwritten colorful notecards
• handmade dangle (and lightweight) earrings.
• scarfs (warm ones)
• small souvenir plate with city or county name on it.
• folded map of your city (not state!). Even if you live in small town.
• beautiful 2-sided paper for origami (10x10'', 12x12'' or bigger)
• Star Trek related items.
• Union Jack :) T-shirt (S- or M-sized), tote bag, mug, coin purse. Well, almost anything.
• surprise me :) I'm always open to anything new.

My favorite colors are gray, black, dark red and dark purple.

• coffee/mint/licorice flavored sweets.
• I have huuuge allergy on chamomile. Please don't send anything with chamomile if you don't want me to die.
• gummy sweets except sour ones
• anything by Hershey's
• green tea, rooibos
• Kool-Aid, hot chocolate and other dry drinks. I just think they are too unhealthy.
• religious stuff. I'm an atheist and like it.
• Twilight stuff.
  
  • almost all craft supplies. I'm not into crafts.

If you are my partner and intend to send me thing please remember I will prefer quality over amount. If you intend to send me $5 worth of things I'd prefer you to send one quality thing over five cheap things :) Also this way you will safe postage ;)

Private swaps are very welcome. Pm me.

I usually send all my hosted swaps in 1-2 days but I can mark them sent 1 day lated after send by date. I not click it sent because I want to keep hosted swap on my current dashboard to watch participants.
