Description:

This is a swap for all the Newbies (Like me :) who need a few extra ratings on package swaps. There are alot of swaps out there I would like to join but I cant because I dont meet the requirements with my past swap "experience". Most require a few if not one "Package" swap. This is a package swap for Newbies to get that ball rolling.

Pretty easy swap you will have 2 partners, you will send to each partner: * Something Red * Something Blue * Something Green * Something Yellow * Something Black * And a profile surprise. (If your partners profile is not filled out very well you can replace this with a penpal letter, So i encourage everyone to fill out their profiles and give examples of things people may send you)

They can be absolutely anything you like, it would be nice to use profiles as guides but not required except for the profile surprize. This should not cost much and you can use your own clean stash you have at home. Open to anyone who needs the ratings. Please do not flake its a rating builder swap.

What size box are we talking about? Limitations on size, cost?

freckleface 09/13/2009 #

The package size does not matter just as long as the requirements are met, if you can fit all your items in a large envelope thats fine, a box, pre-paid box, makes no difference. No limits on size or cost but this should not cost you too much and you are allowed homemade items and good clean items from your stash.

This swap sounds fun and interesting! I like how it is "something" that you are supposed to send!!

Snason 09/15/2009 #

What exactly is a profile surprise?

clavriene 09/15/2009 #

sounds nice! a surprise package, since u never kno what u gonna get!

amytheist 09/15/2009 #

This sounds exciting! I'd love to join ... there quite a few swaps out there that I want to join but being a newbie and all am still not qualified.

RainbowSplatter 09/15/2009 #

joined! also, i have a similar newbie-type swap up. Street Cred Builder #2. click here to see it. thanks! i can't wait for these swaps!

Amorina 09/16/2009 #

@Snason a profile surprise is something you buy/make taking into account what your partner says about herself, her likes, wishlist, and so on. It's something you think your partner will love!

anjinho 09/16/2009 #

Oh, I would love to join! :)

BelleSouth 09/16/2009 #

Thank you for having this!! It's just the ticket for building up my ratings. I am already on "the hunt", gathering some items together to sort through when I read my partner's profile!

freckleface 09/16/2009 #

So glad you like this swap!! I love easy rating swaps too!!

happylilartist 09/16/2009 #

are the "somethings" open to interpretation? for example, for something green - could I send a green tea te bag (even if the packaging isn't green) or does it need to contain that color?

freckleface 09/16/2009 #

Just to make sure everyone gets rated right :) Maybe should stick to the color.

Nickel 09/18/2009 #

I hope I get to get in on this one. I sighned up but needed to verify my email first, then when I came back it said I was already sighned up. I hope i did it!! Thank you for giving us a way to get ratings...

lefroggy 09/18/2009 #

I would like to join since I just started and need the expiriance.. :)

jerilynfoley 09/19/2009 #

Are these colors each a seperate item or something with those colors.

freckleface 09/19/2009 #

each a separate item.

freckleface 09/19/2009 #

For anyone who missed out on this swap a new one with a twist is now posted for October.

Kindy 09/20/2009 #

This could quite possibly be the dumbest question, but I just wanted to make sure... are you allowed to ask your partners questions about what they like (eg. if something is unclear on profile)... or are they not supposed to know who their partner is until they recieve the package?

Caerah 09/20/2009 #

Kindy, I think it's fine to message your partner and ask questions. You can figure out who your partner is from the website, so I don't think it has to be a secret. Personally, I'd rather someone message me and send me something they know I'll like, rather than something they're not sure about.

MissTullie 09/20/2009 #

Does anyone have partners yet? It says partners are assigned, but I have no partners. The yellow box is there with the link "see the partners you send to", however it's blank.

OpheliaQuilts 09/21/2009 #

I'm having the same problem.

ion 09/21/2009 #

me at least do not have a problem with that.

Knitsicle 09/21/2009 #

I was having a problem with that. Try clicking the downsize button and then see if it's there.

OpheliaQuilts 09/21/2009 #

I still can't see my partner...odd...I've tried shrinking and enlarging the screen that pops up, but nothing...

OpheliaQuilts 09/21/2009 #

So, if I'm meant to be your partner, I'd appreciate a PM with your addy, so I can send out to you. Thanks!

ejorpin 09/22/2009 #

Yep - I'm having the same issue too. If I'm you're partner, message me with your address please! I do not want a no-send on my record :)

xkristyx 09/23/2009 #

is there a price range?

calicocat 09/23/2009 #

calicocat i have sent mine although it says up the top unsent!!

lefroggy 09/23/2009 #

I keep getting Partners Assigned: Yes but i dont see anything... :(

Masterbard 09/24/2009 #

No problems here - got my partners and sent out two big envelopes today....

freckleface 09/24/2009 #

No idea what happened here, looks like two people were erased from the swap for some system issue. Ive figured out that much since they have no sent to or receiving partners and i went through every person in the swap. Everyone else should be fine. Weird swap-bot system issues. Hope all else is fine.

simplyhippie 09/24/2009 #

Hello! I just wanted to let everybody know that my packages may be a day or two late. I live in metro-Atlanta, in Georgia...and we're in the middle of a slight flood disaster. I wasn't able to leave my apartment complex for four days. o_0 The whole county I live in is underwater...some up to their roofs. I should get them sent out by Monday morning, though. Γ’β„’Β₯ Thanks so much!

Red 09/24/2009 #

Mine will be sent tomorrow. I wonder how long it will take to get something from Del Rio, Tx to the Phillipines? Will be interesting.

titancia 09/26/2009 #

I mailed mine today! :)

lefroggy 09/26/2009 #

I didnt get anyone to send a swap to... :( i guess next time..

sjonsmom 09/27/2009 #

I mailed everything, but... I think I may have forgotten something... or maybe i just bought extra... :(. Oh I hope I didn't forget to put anything in the packages!

PrincessButtercup 09/27/2009 #

I mailed my yesterday, just couldn't get online and post that I had mailed them!

clavriene 09/27/2009 #

i mailed mine 3 days ago but couldn't get online to say that i've sent my packages...so sorry!!

happycat 09/27/2009 #

I have dropped my items into the street mail box this Saturday Sept 26, they wont be post marked till Monday Sept 28th as we in Canada don't have any mail service on the weekends.

Just letting my partners and others know this as we shouldn't be rated unfairly if your items are not postmarked by the deadline date.

Maybe there should be a rule for all hosts to not leave deadlines on a weekend?

Kindy 09/28/2009 #

Hi, I posted my packages off today (28th Sept). Sorry it is a few days late, things have been pretty hectic - my poor bubby is teething, etc. Hope my partners like their packages and I apologise for the lateness. :)

lefroggy 09/28/2009 #

.< need help! i got a package today, but my account is ether not working well or I'm doing something wrong.. i keep checking my dashboard and it says "Partners Assigned" it wont show me anything ells like the address of the person I am suppose to send it to..

lefroggy 09/28/2009 #
