Newbies Welcome Here

This is a flash, super-quick swap. :)

Rules:

1.) Write a letter to your partner (at least 2 pages, 4" x 6" minimum size)

2.) Include one small item from your partner's profile

Examples of small item:

  • packet of tea (new, unopened)

  • postcard

  • craft item

  • blank notecard with envelope

  • 2 sheets stationery with envelope

  • other small item you would like to send from partner's profile

Please look at your partner's profile to decide which item to send. Please include the swap name & your username in your letter, if possible, because it helps.

This is super easy, so please only sign up if you're going to do it - there is no reason not to send! :)

PLEASE NOTE: Participants with blank profiles will be removed! (Also, rated participants with multiple 1s will be removed because I want to try to ensure as much as possible that everyone gets their swap - thanks for understanding!) :) Please fill out your profile on swap-bot before signing up! :) Thanks!

~ Samantha :)

Samantha -

I am a newbie. Just got "banned" from the Tea Bag Swap because I apparently didn't have a full profile. How/where do I fill in a profile?

Ilene 01/ 6/2015 #

Okay, figured out where the information goes. Let me know if I put enough, or if more is needed...

Thanks, Ilene

Hi Ilene! Yes, your profile looks great. :) Sorry that you couldn't join the other swap you wanted to! Different swap hosts have different rules, but you are welcome to join this one. :) Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Just in case - for anyone who doesn't know how to fill out your profile, you can click on "Profile" at the top of the site - it's the fourth word under the "Swap-bot" logo. From there you can click "edit profile" and you will be able to write about yourself, your likes, your dislikes, etc. :)

Ilene 01/ 7/2015 #

I would also recommend reading a few of the profiles to see what is needed. I hadn't a clue! Also, some of the longer ones may be intimidating - it was for me - but know that you don't need to make yours THAT long. And, you can always edit/add as you go along. That's what I plan to do.

Everyone now has partners assigned. :) I sent a reminder e-mail to everyone this morning. If you have questions, please let me know! :) I will be keeping an eye to make sure everyone sends on time. Have a great day to everyone! :)

Hi!! I'm new to swop-bot, I just sent my letter and realized i forgot to put my adress on the envelop. I'm sorry is that a requirement for all swaps! ?!? :(

snailmailsurprise 01/ 9/2015 #

It's a good idea just in case the mail would need to be returned to sender, but you will be fine. :) Don't worry. :) Do you have any identifier in the mail, itself - your username and/or the swap name?

snailmailsurprise 01/13/2015 #

Tomorrow is the last day to send your swap! :) Please remember to send. :) & Thanks to everyone who joined! I will be contacting anyone who's partner has not marked sent and will angel if needed. :)

Snailmailsurprise. i will be now!! (: lol I hope so ahah I think I put my name. Sorry&&thanks. Happy swapping(:

snailmailsurprise 01/16/2015 #

@aprilstarr92 No worries. :) You can always message your partner to let him/her know that you forgot to put any identifying information on the swap (return address, username, swap name, etc.) :) Just to be sure.

My package to AJ Starfish didn't make it, so I am resending this Tuesday. :( Sorry, Starfish, that you didn't get it. Hope you enjoy the replacement!

snailmailsurprise 01/19/2015 #

@madhen Sorry to hear that! Maybe she will still receive it though since it's only been 8-9 postal days since you sent. :) I hope she will receive the original or your resend soon!

madhen 02/ 4/2015 #

Woo hoo!! Just heard from my recipient that the first package FINALLY arrived!! She got a two-fer, and it restored my faith in the postal service!

aprilstarr92 02/ 4/2015 #

I haven't gotten mine yet!!

snailmailsurprise 02/ 7/2015 #

@madhen - That's awesome! I told you that it might arrive ;)

snailmailsurprise 02/ 7/2015 #

@aprilstarr92 - I checked and I see that you did finally receive your swap & that you rated a "5" with a heart. I am glad you received. :)
