Response: Hello swapping friend *** I'm sending this message to you with a sadden heart. I LOVE SWAPPING!! I'm having serious problem with my mail service. I have received several messages from partners they have not rec'd also rec'd a 3 rating from two people saying rec'd 2weeks after the deadline. I mail several days before dead line for travel time. Also the problem is on the receiving end as well. rec'd one in my box Sat Oct 3rd postmark was stamped Sept 10th. On a post card swap I was in mailed tell post card 3times b4 Rhonda rec'd in Tenn. received it. For my birthday on another group site I'm in a birthday club with lady sent me envelope cost over $3.00 to send it was returned to her no such address. She knew she wrote it correctly as we swap cards & recipes. So she put it in another envelope so I would see the return stamping & mailed it again. I did get it that time. I have made formal complaint at my local post office, The post master told me they would look into it & I should mail my things from the post office up threw the Christmas season. I will do that but it is not quick & easy to get to. The price of postage keeps going up & the service is getting worse the ever. I'm going to quit swapping at this time as I don't want to be labeled a bad swapper. I don't want to cause any stress. If you have not rec'd from me please let me know here or at girlsin2710@yahoo.com I will resend up to 3 times in hopes you will receive. But it is getting costly all of my resends & time taking to have to recreate/resend. Also now receiving 3's making even less worth the effort to do resends. I will continue to resend as I know it can be very disappointing if a swap is not received. I'm not joining anymore swaps for now. But will send to /resend to all my commitments. Will seriously miss my swapping friends!!!! Lana Jones (swapbot user:10383)
