RANDOM SWAP - *COMPLETED*

[Mori_LeStrange]

Today was a good day! I shipped my partner's swap box out and received my box from Shockponie. I love everything in it. I'll post brag photos in a bit.

Ebay tracker says my last item was delivered today at 12:55pm... nope I don't see it. SO I am going to wait a few days and see if maybe the mailman left it in his bag or something and the tracker is wrong. Once that item comes in, I just need to run to Dollar tree for some wrapping paper and ribbons and then snag some yummy nom nom candy and send it out!!
I will have to mail it out sometime at the end of the month though due to issues with my work and payday falling at that week.

Maybe he delivered it to the neighbors?

[Psivampyr]

well if he did deliver to the neighbors, they won't like what they find in the box...

I shipped my box finally! I am having trouble taking photos of the shipping receipt because of my crappy camera though, it keeps coming out all blurry. But it's on its way!

I know that most people have shipped out now. If this is against swap rules then just say no but is it possible to know if our partner has shipped out yet. I don't actually want to know who my partner is or anything (that would spoil the surprise). Just I am not going to be at home so much for the next week or so and I need to just let my neighbour  know if something is going to be coming or not so they can tackle the post man if I am not it.

My package has arrived at the destination post office.  Depending on processing my partner will get it today or tomorrow. *stalks my parcel* I hope they like it.

I do this I wanna know when it gets to the end location

Lol I know right?  But it's harder if some people had international.  They may not be able to follow it as closely as they would like.  I know if you send first class there is no way to really follow it.  Although most packages probably were too heavy for first class anyway. But you know I think this has been my favorite swap.

This is my first actual group swap so sadly I cannot compare it to anything but it has being totally excellent. I really hope there is another one later on in the year even near Christmas. oh they had the advent swap before but it was pony based we could have similar but random based.

I just hope I can afford to join it then

I sent Bertha first class, which now comes standard with tracking (don't even have to ask for it anymore).

Oo for international? I would love it so much if they let me track international first class.

Oh, I didn't know you meant international only. o_o;;

I guess you're right. Not to mention international tracking costs a fortune in and of itself.

[Sarahlacewing]

That's ok! There really should be tracking for first class. *shakes fist at post* not to be that person... But Us international postage sucks. It's costly and they really just don't seem to care as much as domestic. I always feel bad when I sell overseas because I feel like they just don't respect our international packages like they should.

Rant over. I'm sorry if anyone here works for USPS it's just an opinion.

I understand. All my eBay listings are U.S. only, which makes me feel bad, but international buyers don't want to pay the extra for tracking and I won't post without it (did it once, Paypal refunded their money when they claimed their package never came, lost $200+ worth of goods and we were selling to cover my dog's life-saving vet bills). Without tracking sellers aren't protected and the package isn't, either.
