Response: You were aware that I was in the hospital for over 5 of of those months and very ill before that, it was nothing at all personal, if I could have gotten it to you in time I would have, I really am very sorry about the whole situation. I am glad that you were pleased with the package that makes up for a lot.

Response: As I mentioned in my PM I had no idea that you did not get your package from when ever it was that I mailed it, I know that it was gone long enough before I got it back that I didn't recognize who the package was supposed to be for and the return to sender sticker ripped the address off, you couldn't even decipher it from the back. it would have been nice of you to tell me and give me a chance to resend before just marking me a one after not communicating for so many months. I will send the package tomorrow as I kept it in a baggie in case I heard back from someone about not getting their stuff, I wish you had let me know months ago that it didn't arrive as I haven't heard from you in so long I just assumed you had finally received it as mail from here can be really slow at times. It will be easy to resend as soon as I have the obliterated address as I have kept the items together ready to go if I ever got word about the missing package.

Response: Items have to be packed loose and flat or the postage to the UK gets bumped up to airmail parcel and that's $30 worth of postage that I don't have especially as I have already spent more than that in postage cumulatively for the resends. They also charge by weight and I figured you would rather have embellishments than packing materials as they were already in a bubble mailer. Every ziploc bag adds to the cost. If I had been sending you very fragile items that would have been a different story but little pieces of metal or stickers aren't going to smash. I did send you a lot more embellishments every time than the swap required. This swap has cost me well over $100 between postage 3 times as well as the embellishments 3 times which are very expensive in my small town. I hardly think the fact that they were loose is the end of the world. I think the fact that you finally received it was more important. I didn't get either of the other 2 I sent you back so I am out a ton of embellishments trying to get this swap to you.

Response: Four weeks to the US from Canadahappens more tham you would think, I also think it may have been delayed due to my eyes being swollen shut

Response: Seeing as you were concerned about the people who set up swaps I just thought I would let you know as of Jan.19/10 I have 76 fives many with hearts so I think the people arranging swaps don't have anything to worry about. There have been no 1's or 3's since then.

Response: I have changed this comment as the negativity from it bothered me and world travler and I have sorted things out and are good. Time to move on. Update: Thank you for the get well card it was a very kind gesture and a was very touched.

Response: It arrived so quickly because I spent extra money than normal mail

Response: I was in the hospital for 11 days inclding several in the ICU. I got it to you as soon as it was possible I am sorry that you feel that merits a 3. They arrived 19 days after the send date which considering how close to dying I came to is pretty darn good. You would think it took me 6 months to get them to you.
