[Mickster]

Seriously...you and me both...

Seriously...you and me both...

Me Three...

Serously, I have called the postmaster at my postoffice. He is going to try and trace it and see what information he can find out.

OK, here is where we stand- the post office has the package some place between here and NJ. Serously, it was mailed from PA, sent to a distribution center in NJ, scanned in there and then has vanished. He said that it might show up soon, but it has never made it to the GA post office.

So, here is what I'm thinking of doing. I will go this evening and get items to cover Mickster's spots. I want everyone to get a complete swap back, so I do not mind. Then I will sort them when I arrive home on Sunday and mail everything on Monday.
How does that sound?

I hate that the post office has messed this up for us.

When it works its fine, but when they mess up....

I honestly don't mind not getting a full set, I'd hate for you to have trouble.spending over this. You can save my set for Mickster for when it comes

I don't mind not getting a full set either. There is no need to do extra work. I am fine either waiting for her stuff to arrive or just sending out what you have. Whatever is eisest for you. Thanks for the update.

 

[Mickster]

This is exactly what my postmaster has also said. I hate for you to get more stuff, though...I can resend...or send to everyone individually...I'm so sorry, guys! This has never happened before...

Ok, So I will get all the packages ready to send out on Monday. I'm currently away from home scrapbooking this weekend.
Mickster- do not worry- this is way beyond your controll.
Thanks everyone for understanding.

Stuff happens! We've all had stuff be later than expected, its surprising things don't got AWOL more often given the number of swaps we do
Waiting is fine - I'm used to it

 

[MissDisney04]

i certainly dont mind waiting until the package arrives

its weird how things get mailed through...i once sent a package to NY and it went to CA first (i am in NV, so thats going farther away lol) even weirder is the fact that we have a distribution center here (i believe from what i have been told)

sorry i was absent, life took control

 

[kkbeaton2]

I just got back from vacation, and I'm a little confused confused3), have the rest of these gone out, or not? Thanks!

 

[Mickeyteacher]

The last few packages will go out tomorrow. I was waiting until the last possible day. We are leaving for a trip on Friday and I want to mail everything before we leave. Mickster's package has not shown up- I think the post office people must be enjoying all our goodies. I will post tomorrow once they are all postal.

Sorry for the confusion,
S

 

[kkbeaton2]

That's fine. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was just affraid that something had happened to my package while I was on vacation. I had put a hold on my mail, so I thought maybe it didn't get put with my mail. I am looking forward to seeing all of the cool things!

 

[Mickeyteacher]

Everything is mailed except the 2 packages that I could not find addesses for this morning. I have pmed MissDisney and MazdaUK for address.

I hope everyone likes their items.

Mine too arrived yesterday...I would have posted yesterday, but we decided at the last minute to go to the Phillies game...half price tickets...but they won, in record breaking fashion.

Did my package ever arrive? I would just love to know where mine ended up! Thanks for handling that mess! I'm just sorry it happened...

 

[catinthehat35]

I received my items back as well. Not sure of the date, I've been dealing with strep so the days have kinda run together. Thanks for hosting this really fun, easy swap.

 

[MissDisney04]

i recieved!! thank you so much, i love it all, and now its just a matter of deciding what i am going to take with me to the little apartment until i move (this package made the decision even harder lol)

 

[MazdaUK]

My stuff came yesterday Now I just need to put it away so i can find it

 

[Mickster]

Ladies...if I wasn't so tired from camp, I'd be laughing...but

I got a USPS letter from Atlanta today saying they found an empty wrapper with my address in the mail and it is believed to have been separated from my parcel during handling. (the label looks like it was in a war...) So I can have them search for the parcel and then get the money back or I can suck it up and not get the money back. I guess I need to tell them it was 2 gallon sized bags with 5 or 6 smaller baggies inside with various brads in different colors and/or any type of metal thing I wanted .

I might be able to get my shipping back.

Then they very nicely tell me that proper packaging and including my name and address inside would avoid this inconvenience. That's right...I've never mailed anything before. sigh...

Well, at least that sort of explains why it never got there...
