Shady Swappers & Shipping Internationally

you should check with lexi, she just had to pull out of a swap to focus on uni work atm so she may be busy, best bet would be the swap angels so someone who is free and avaliable can do it if you so wish

I completely understand the fear of international shipping. I was in the Secret Santa Card swap and had my first international swap in there and I'm still waiting for one of mine to come in. I can't say it's international because it is a secret, and I'm trying to be patient because if someone sent the things a bit late, the holiday surge would slow things down, but I'm waiting almost into the new year for two different swaps. After I get these two, or even if I don't, I don't think I'm going to be swapping on CO+K anymore. The swapping system here isn't all that organized and there is no real way to know who is doing what or not.

There is Swap-Bot.com. I'm going to try them out as far as actual package swapping. Although I don't like that an unrated swapper usually can't participate in big swaps, and can understand why, and you can keep a lot better track of who you are getting involved with.

I was looking at swap bot today, i've been on here for 6months-1year and i'm worried that i'll be flaked on now after its started happening more frequently to people

I figured it was a little late too apply for a xmas swap angel now so am going to leave it. It does seem that most people are in the swaps for the right reasons and the whole swap angel idea is so sweet...maybe I could participate in another swap in the new year and in theory not get flaked on this time ...I do enjoy the making and surprise element

@dragoness

yah, that's what I meant, for Nicpea to try the swap angels.

Btw y'all I'm hosting a Valentine's Day Swap if you're interested and not too discouraged to swap again

I would swap again, just because I don't really let things like that bother me. I enjoy crafting and people receiving it. If they decide to bounce out on a swap and ignore me, then I would just take note and not swap with them. It is their karma they are causing, and it is mine on how I react. Soooo yeah I would swap again, just not with them, ever. haha

I think swaps are just too much fun to let a few bad people ruin it.
