This organza bag surprises was hosted by Adrienne. We need to sent to 2 partners based on their profiles and I have encountered some problems with the postal lately. Not sure whether Malaysian Postal Service or Overseas Postal Service. My partner in Italy claimed that she still hasn't received anything from me. I have sent her stuff out ages ago. If not I will have to replace and re-sent to her again!! This makes me cringe because I have a bad experience with my swaps. My partner from US sent me lots of stuff in an envie but when it arrived at the point of entry to Royal Mail UK, the envelopes containing stuff was torn apart and when it reached Malaysia...I only received a totally torned envelope with nothing inside, empty plastic wrap that I believed could be the letterset/paper napkins and 3slightly damaged photos. I was horrified!! and my envelope to her that contained Batik print blouse/kaftan were missing instead she only received a nice empty wrapping paper and 2 sachets of coffee. Thank God my other box filled with other goodies remained intact. All these I did not asked for replacement because I know how much postage she had paid and our first initial swaps were photos only and the rest is just a bonus. I really hate it when it happened to me. So that's why I am asking all my swap partners to be patience because it is not my fault. I always sent my stuff out on time..unless something came out and unavoidable I will pm my partner so that they'll know. Recently I received an email message from a swap partner in Brazil saying she hasn't received her stuff. I have posted her lots of stuff on Jack Halloween Black & White items) on 15 January 2008 and I still keep the tracking receipt from the P.O. Little that I know that it will take 4 months or so for a parcel to arrive in Brazil. I think I'm having a terrible headache already..this is way too much. If the parcel is confirmed lost then I think she will have to wait till the next replacement and the stuff I'm going to re-send gonna be different taking into consideration the stuff values, postage and time spent as well as my budget at the moment. I need a caffeine fix right now!

I had a bad experience with this Italian Girl on swap-bot. My package to her finally arrives after 2 months which is not my fault. At least it finally arrived instead of saying thank you she said terrible things about me and gave out a bad ratings. Well for a newbie she already labelled 3 person as flakers including me. Weird!! Instead of sending private messages she flooded my swap-bot comments box with nasty remarks eventhough I already told her the problems. Worst after I left my comments in her swap-bot columns she told me to avoid any contacts with her and has deleted all my comments and her comments. Some people are not thankful. It is better late than never! This is International Swap you're talking about some countries might take longer for a parcel to reach certain destinations. It is also depending what type of courier that you're taking first class or normal snail mail. Duhh! This is like a nightmare to have her as a swapper. Well she already rated me 3 for not being prompt with the deadlines and said I am a bad swapper and communicator. Geez.
I had the same experience b4 but not as pricey :(
I sent my sister a cute mechanical pencil from australia (i was studying there), it had a charms on it. What arrived in msia at her door, was a envelope that obviously was tear open and tape back. Inside just a card and a lollipop. No cute pencil. I was so angry.
How it happened I don't really know. Now i send my packages in boxes that's overly taped, wrapped and tied.
