I was just wondering if anyone still hasn't sent out their package or recieved it.
I have sent mine out, but I have not recieved one. When is the next gift swap going to be?

I do know of a person who has not received one yet, but I am sworn to secrecy (this person doesn't want to make a big deal out of it). But I think it is awful if you do not fulfill your end of the "bargain)
I have sent and received.
I agree. :( This is the very reason I have not participated. I'm afraid I would get mine sent out late and that's not fair to the others involved. But to not send it at all, that's extremely rude.Quote:

I agree also.:( I hope I recieve mine, and if I don't, maybe I can try next time.:) I won't be sad if I give someone a gift, I would just feel really bad if I didn't send mine.Quote:

I have sent and I have recieved.
I'm so sorry you haven't recieved yours...
I'm not sure what the excuse/reason is now that you haven't.
I have sent and recieved.
For those who haven't gotten their's yet, that's just terrible! I mean, you spent money all a nice gift and don't even get anything in return. :(
Oh, Oh, have I missed something here??? Wasn't there a gift swap a few months ago?? Is that the one you are referring to??
Im one of those people who havent sent theirs out yet.. :o I have everything bought, but my mom needs to take it to the post office.. But i have already talked to my swapper and she said she had understood, and although i feel so bad i havent sent it out, im not one of those people who 'dont hold their end of the bargain'..
I didn't participate in this swap, so I know what I say doesn't matter..
But honestly, please don't sign up for these things (gift swaps, christmas lists, etc.) if you're not absolutely, completely, 100% positive you CAN send the item and at a reasonable date. It's not fair to everyone else.
Very well said.Quote:

When i started the gift swap i said their was no date to have them sent out, some people are busy and will get around to sending it out, but dont have the time.. im one of those people who dont have the time.. My parents both work all day long, So i can not get to the post office.. On weekends they go to see my grandma who is in a nursing home, So i really dont have time.. I will send mine out, again im not one of those people who dont hold their end of the bargain, So please dont assume everyone can get theirs sent out right away..
:o
I have sent mine long time ago, but I haven't received one :( :( :(
Not trying to offend, but I have to say it. I have a job, I go to college, and I have many many things going on in my life also. If you can find time to post at Pet Talk, you can find time to go to the post office.
good point Amy.Quote:

Tho I didn't participate in the swaps, I feel this way over the Christmas list.
Amber- this wasn't directed towards you! I was just wondering if everyone had gotten their gift.:)Quote:

shais_mom- what do you mean by this is way over the christmas list?
:o :o :o
She's talking about previous years. I don't know if you participated last year but some people did not receive nearly as many cards as they sent out.Quote:

I haven't heard about a gift swap. What is it about? Also, what is the Christmas list?:)
Sorry, I am just a little new with these things.:o
That's so sad. It sort of shatters trust doesn't it? If I had known people were "shortchanged" with their gift swops I would have made more effort to send out something special in their Christmad cards, but I only read this now :(
I didn't join the gift shep for 2 reasons:
1. Postage to and from Bahrain is terribly expensive
2. The pet shops here are rubbish, so to get a nice gift I'd have to buy stuff off the internet, shio it in, then ship it back out again!
I agree with everyone else that you really shouldn't sign up if your can't follow through and deliver!
And it there is anyone on the Christmas cards list who will be sending out out fewer cards than they receive - please don't participate next year!!
Just as an FYI, I think most Internet vendors will let you ship directly to a gift recipient. I do this when buying presents off the 'net for my family in Illinois, rather than paying to have something shipped to me and then paying again to ship it to them. You don't get to wrap the gifts that way, but it sure is a lot less expensive!Quote:

That's true. My dad wanted to buy my cousin in Canada a bike as a gift several years back, so he ordered it online and had it shipped to their house instead of our's. Was much easier than buying a nice bike here and then mailing it to Canada. :o That would've been soooo much more expensive!Quote:

I still can't believe some people made the promise to participate in the gift swap but got their gifts and didn't do their part. That makes me so mad! :mad: Truely shows what type of people they must be. :(
Out of curosity, who organized the last swap list?

I think it's a little bit late to be mailing them out now. They should have been mailed long ago.
Alot of people have had some problems with sending them out, i think they can and should still send them out..Quote:

Imo
'Alot of people' haven't had troubles sending them out, Just a few.
Yes, It should have been sent months ago, but there's nothing any of use (besides those who didn't sent yet) could have done about it.
Ok....... Let me rephrase then..
A few of the people have had trouble sending them out..
To all the people getting mad:
I dont know why everyone is getting mad about the people not sending them out, believe me, if you knew why half of them havent been sent you would be suprised at their story.. Most of the people have talked to their swapper, the ones who havent sent them out, and explained their reasonings and most of them have understood, or from what i was told..
If you don't understand why people are upset about it, then you really must be blonde Amber. :p
Guess so.. :pQuote:

Brandi was talking to me on AIM, and she asked what my pets were, and I told her, but she said that she needed to pick up another toy for the puppers, because she thought I only had 3 dogs.
She also said that her mom was going to ship it out today...
She asked me if you had a cat and I said yes...
She sent me this message yesterday, I edited for Pet Talk. :p
bklstaind: Ok good i bought some cat toys today and some more <<<<, my mom is bringing a box home from petsmart today, where she works, tomorrow is our 'running around' day, will be sent out tomorrow, honestly this time, not that i expect you to believe me. but i've got stuff for her dogs, cat and bird. so please inform her? i mean if u want proof i can scan it all :-) :-X

Really, if I signed up and didn't get my gift until MONTHS after, or not at all, I would be pretty ticked off too!
So would i, if the person didnt have a good explanation..Quote:

So what exactly was this "good explanation" other than you "didn't have time" or your "mom wouldn't take you to the post office?"Quote:

Because I don't find those good explanations. :rolleyes:
Yeah, considering that this was months ago.Quote:

No my dear. I think if you make a commitment, you really should be certain you can do it on time, before you sign up. Otherwise, it isn't fair, and you're not taking your responsibility. Either way, I'm glad you worked it out, and that you'll be sending it soon BAM BAM PUP! :D :pQuote:
