HATES

BEING CALLED KATHY, OR MY FULL NAME - KATHRYN, please don't do it. Smoking, rude people, bad manners, racism, anything plain white, yellow or brown, amphibians, green beans, mushrooms, cooking, getting up early, boring postcards.

RATING BEFORE HAVING THE CHANCE TO RESEND. Nothing worse than being rated low and never to have been given the chance to sort it out first, so please be patient.

NONE RATERS If you are my partner, I will remind you via Swap-bot messaging, and later by a comment on your profile. Persistant None Raters will be banned from my swaps.

SWAPS I TAKE PART IN

My own swaps are sent out on the day partners are allocated, or as soon as possible after. I mark as sent when the item has gone into the post box, however if it at the weekend, there is only one collection on Saturday and items may sit in the sorting office for 12 hours, so the actual date on the item could be different by one day. I am, however, not responsible to what happens to them after they go into the post box. I will check if the item has arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and offer to resend if it hasn't.

Also, I am in the UK, so please give any mail that I have to send overseas enough time to arrive- 4-6 weeks, or it can be longer. Also Email can get lost in the ether, if nothing has arrived in a couple of days of the last sign up date and partners have been allocated, please let me know and I will resend.

Please let me know if you have not received anything before you rate, but give the postal system reasonable time to send first, especially during Bank Holidays, Easter and Xmas, or if you are on the other side of the world from me.

Plus I can't be reponsible for items that the post loses, but I WILL RESEND.

MY SWAP RULES

Please have a well filled out profile. I need to be able to scroll down to read it. Short profiles will be banned.

If you are going to be late with your swap, please let me and your partner/s know as soon as you can. I won't have to chase you then, and it is only courtesy.

I do send out a reminder to all participants in my swaps, if they have not sent by a day or two prior to the deadline, just in case they have forgotten.

If you have flaked, or have late swaps on your dash, also, if you have not been active on the site within 48 hours of the sign up date (UK time), you will be banned from my swap.
