Comment: Never got anything. I sent her message with no response. And I just looked and no log in since October 5th and the swap was after that. :(

Comment: Hello Lauren (laurenvnzl from South Africa)! Finally, after 78 days travelling, i got you package. Thank you for rooibos tea, dark chocolate bar, rooibos & lemon lip balm, almonds & cranberries nougat bar and 2 instant cappucino stick sachets. Greetings from Portugal, maria das trouxas

Comment: Thank you for my very first Dotee Doll! She's so cute. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Diane

Comment: So I finally got this swap. I know postage time and dates aren't always accurate, but when it says July 2nd and the postage mail by day according to the swap was June 8th seems a bit to much of a gap by the post office to make. Thanks for finally sending it off to me though.

Comment: My swap never arrived. The deadline was on july 24th from LAST YEAR. I had to write her many times and finally she said that she re sent the swap, but when i asked for the tracking number she never answer me. . Today is July 23th 2015 so i suppose that she only lied to me.

Comment: Thank you Lauren for a special PL. I love the magnets and the cat facts!!!

Comment: (I emailed and got no response. However I noticed this person is active on Swapbot - even hosting a colour swap. I don't understand.) I have now received a very late swap. So I had to change my rating to a 5.

Comment: Hi, sorry to have to give you this rating. I know you contacted me about the postal strike in your country, but it would appear from the Internet that it was over a while ago. This swap still has not arrived, but I will happily re rate when something turns up. Edit 12th January. Now received with a postmark of 18th December. The sweets that were sent as part of the swap were out of date last November.

Comment: Sadly this swap not received either. Will re rate if anything ever turns up. Edit, 12th January..now received with postmark of 18 December.

Comment: Marked sent 9/11/14 - Received on 01/12/15 (postal strike) Awesome package ready to explode! Great selection of things that I like, can and will use. I'll cherish the handmade gingerbread man, he is adorable. I love the different sizes of the gingerbread man cookie cutters. I can't wait to read the magazine while eating my popcorn. :) Too many more items to mention - just that I'll enjoy everything. I'm giving you a heart for reading my profile and selecting things just for me. I wish you a mailbox full of happy surprises and many new swap-bot friendships in 2015.

Comment: Lauren did let me know that the postal system is on strike, but it has been nearly 2 months now. Really you should not sign up for swaps if you know your postal system is so unreliable. I will change this rating if something arrives! Update- 12.01.15- Thanks for resending, the items you sent are lovely x

Comment: thanks for sending

 

Comment: 15th June 2015 - nothing received.

Comment: You should not have joined so many swaps knowing that your postal service is down and your partners won't get their swaps. Will re-rate if I ever receive anything.
