January 2013 update. We have had a death in the family and it has hit me really hard. I will be taking a little time off to rest and hopefully get healthy as well (been very ill as well) and I hope to be back on swap bot soon. I will also be doing my best to send the swaps I am currently in, please drop me a note if you are worried about a swap I am in or if a package is late and I will do my best to get back to you ASAP and make sure you get your swap in a timely fashion. Thank you for your understanding!

As for my one 3 rating. I send the swap and it met all the swap requirements but my partner was unhappy with the swap and rated me a 3. I tried repeatedly to contact my partner offering to resend the swap or to send her something else of her choosing and she wouldn't respond to me. I also contacted the swap coordinator and she also tried several times to contact the swapper with again no response.

I will try everything I can to make sure that all of my partners are happy. It is sad when a partner rates you less than a 5 and there is nothing you can do to make it up to them. I would love all of my partners to have a happy and fun swapping experience with me.

If you ever do not receive a package or are not happy with it please contact me first before rating and I will do everything in my power to make sure that you are happy in the end!
