#2 Big Fat Stuffed Envelope International Swap

What is the size of 4 x 9 inches in centimeters?

I think this is approximate: 10.16 cm x 22.86 cm

@tex82 I guess it would be our "envelope ofício"

I always send a really LARGE padded envelope... I think it should be REALLY BIG and SPECIAL! :)

I am using a 6x9 envie! Can't seem to get enough in a business size envie.

what does it mean to "watch"??

If you go to your Dashboard, there will be a listing of current swaps, sent swaps, watching swaps, etc. You can add a swap to your watchlist, and watch it as it gets closer to the time of the swap when you can then decide to add it or not as one you want to participate in.

thanks so much for organising such a great swap, and one that helps us newbies build our reputation here :3 you are a gem!

I'm so excited about this swap! Already got my large bubble envie all ready to stuff things into! LOL! Just waiting (im)patiently for my partner! LUV IT! <3

Yey! An international swap!

WOW! This is an Amazing turnout!!!!!!!!!! Good Job!

^^ I'm a newbie here and i just join... but i had a question.. do we choose the partner ourselves..?? or by the swap coordinator..?? if so, when will we know who our partner actually is..?? 28th March..?? hmm.. about the date of items must be sent to the partner, can it be extend..?? as I'm living somewhere in Asia country,I'm worried if my envelope will not reached on time.. o.O

Veanne - Last day to sign up is 27th March which mean you will get your partner on 28th, it will assign automatically by the system, we cannot choose our partner. You can post the items from this date onwards.

Date items must be sent by: 17th April 2010. Mean the last day to post the parcel. If you want to post after this date, kindly inform your partner that you are sending late with the reason. Otherwise you will not get good rating ;)

thanks for the info.. ^^

Hi, I'm so excited for this swap! Just so my partner knows I am moving May 1st so please make sure to send your package on time otherwise I will not receive it :(

Yes, once the sign up date passes, the host reviews the Profiles of everyone in the swap. The host can ban people who do not fit her requirements, etc. Hosts have up to one week to review profiles and have partners assigned. At that point, partners are assigned randomly by the swap-bot computer. Hosts have no control over who gets who as a partner. Once partners are assigned, you will get an email saying your partner has been assigned. Just as an FYI, I require Profiles to be filled out so please make sure yours is. You can go to Edit Profile, then select the Personal tab, which will bring you to a page with drop down tabs/catagories for you to fill in or to create your own categories.

I am filling out my profile now but have no ratings yet as I only joined swap-bot today. I sent you an email, but wondered if I could join this swap? I have just moved to Switzerland and have boxes and boxes of new craft supplies to swap. Thanks :)

My first swap! I am excited! Thanks for letting the newbies join. I hope my profile is filled out well enough.

my first one too! i hope like the other newbies i have left enough info!

just checking in :)

It's almost here people!!! Yeahh!!! I really hope nobody flakes on this swap :-|

Ok positive thoughts

LOL!

I've already got tonz of goodies to stuff into my large envie but i'm just waiting to get my partner's name so I can put in some things from their profile!!!

Hmmmm...I hope whoever gets my name will do the same for me!!!

All I ask is for a little thought behind the items :-D

21ST AND COUNTING........!!!

Is this the biggest swap ever? Would be cool if it was!

Yay i just signed up....But i dont know what to get anyone ? Iam in the U.S. can i get some ideas please

Call me dumb, but I got the email about my partner, and now can't find it. Where can I find my partner on the web site? Thanks.

I am looking forward to this swap, so many things i want to send :)

Count me in! Sounds like a fun project for a first swap!

I havent received info on my partner, this is my first swap.

Partners were assigned for the USA version. Partners have not yet been assigned for this swap. When they are, you will get an email. Again, I will ban people if your Profile is not filled out so please fill it out and more then a few sentences please.

25th and almost there!!!!

I can't wait! this is gunna be my first swap!! :D

Paper click on "See the partners you send to" at the top right of this page....

My partner is in Malaysia! how exciting yay!

is it ok if we fill a box or does it have to be a envelope I have so much cute craft stuff to get rid of lol

Thanks so much got my partner will start getting mine ready to send out this week....

sent mine out today-stuffed it full! Hope my partner likes it all :)

This is fun! I'm happy that wolfeagle gave us some time between the start date and the shipping deadline; it gives me time to order some goodies to include...

Brian

Mine are on their way to my swap partner :)

I couldn't help myself I sent a box lol

wow mine cost a fortune to send..£10! last swap that ill be sending till i get some money...

yeah mine cost $20.00 to send lol my husband got mad at me

Mine cost $13 USD to send from Trinidad to the USA. And I rec'd mine already! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful swap! I hope everyone gets a lovely package like mine!

I am really confused. I sent an envie to someone in the netherlands as thats the persons name i was given but i recieved an envie back from someone in ireland ... so does that mean we do not give to the same people we recive from ? its like a chain ? as i had presumed the person we sent to was the person we got back from ... i recieved a fabulous envie crammed with goodies today but i do not have the user name of the person who sent it, only their name and address ? HELP PLEASE ?

Thanks ~ elaine x

Also ... i now feel as though i have not sent nearly enough. I did a PRIVATE SWAP with someone and sent loads as it was a big haul swap ( i thought ) but this one, i thought was just meant to be an envie swap for odds and ends so thats what i sent, patterened papers and embelsihments etc. I feel as though i may not have been generous enough now that ive had mine and it only cost me about £2.50 to send. This will be the first time in my years of swapping i will have ( maybe ) disapointed someone :( and i feel awful.

third mesg ... gosh i feel like a numpty :/ I found the person who sent to me ... was in sent and then the info was in the little box. It wasnt rocket science lol ... sorry ( i know better for future ) i have also emailed the person to say that if she feels i should have sent more i will, even though my son says i sent plenty ( as he posted ) ... i will stop fretting now and wait and see.

:S The profile of the person i sent my package to has been deleted :S I guess i don;t get a rate now for this swap :( :(

I know it is only a few days after the deadline, but my partner hasn't even logged on to the website since 31 March :-( I really hope I don't get flaked on AGAIN; this will be the third swap in a row :'(

I mailed this days ago I just forgot to mark it sent.... So Brian you should be getting this swap soon if not already... di

I just PM'ed my partner to see if she if going to send. I hope so!

I'm not joining the #3 swap, if anyone wants a guaranteed 'no flake' partner, please PM me. (that is if you promise to send too)

I just checked on the person who was supposed to send to me (Sadie Lankford (nelliebugsdotcom)) and I see that she has been banned from swap-bot. I guess that means I am out of luck on this swap. Bummer.

@paperfairys PLEASE don't worry about your swap.... it was really nice, I really like all the things you send to me. All the papers and the nice tags you made, you really made me feel to come in the nice-cuty-paper-mood. There was no amount of money in this swap and hey swapping is supposed to be fun, so please don't worry. You really don't have to send me more. This was all great and very useful. Enjoy your following swap :-)))

I hate Flakers. It really is so rude. Hopefully, any partner who has not sent yet.. will still send and not flake. However, if they do flake, please rate your partner a 1 so we can keep them out of other swaps.

The person who flaked on me has a deleted account. I don't know if that means she deleted it or if she was banned.

I still haven't got my parcel :( I'm not sure if I've been flaked or not as my sender has really good feedback, maybe it got lost in the mail :/

I haven't got my parcel too.Tried email the partner but she never respond and now she's been partially suspended.
