(person) is a sweetheart and she does send out her trades. She had a lot going on this past year, give her a break!

NO WHERE did I say SHUT UP PEOPLE. Mail does get lost all the time. Also if something was mailed out in Dec right before Christmas then it still could be on it's way. My PO told me when I wanted to mail something around the 10th of Dec that IF I didn't mail it Prority it would not get there until WELL after Christmas.
SOMETIMES caps is used instead of bolding something to emphasize.
THIS post is NOT meant to generate comments only to say that I am sorry I was misunderstood in trying to make a point.
Everyone here covents the Delivery Comp # (DC#) my point is that if something with a DC# is hopeless lost just think of what could be lost without one.
We don't get insurance on bubble mailers usually and they can get lost. Then someone emails a person telling them they didn't receive their end of the trade and then that person says I mailed it.
You THEN send another email and maybe yet another and MAYBE just maybe each one is a little less kind then the first.
The other person doesn't really know HOW to respond to these kinds of emails so they do nothing OR they email you a couple more times letting you know they DID in fact mail out.
Ok, then what? YOU feel like you were jipped out of a trade and you give it a few more days maybe even a couple of weeks and STILL no envy.
THEN you come a post on negative review, YOU ARE HURT, and NOW the person you give the negative review is hurt too.
Maybe the package shows up 6-8 weeks later, goodness only knows where it has been, and NOW you have left a negative
feedback for the person. ARE you gonna go back and say HEY guess what? That package I was talking about well it arrived, OPPS sorry.
No, because we would want to save face and not embarrass ourselves over the whole ordeal with having to post a retraction.
Sometimes the package may never show up again, things do get shredded by the Postal Service too. We rely heavily on the Postal Service to make sure our packages go out in a timely and safe manner, well that is not always the case.
AND thanks to R & R feelings can sometimes be hurt because of a simple mistake at the post office. We are ALWAYS QUICK to judge the party whom with we arranged a trade and guess what? It is not always their fault. (Simply another fact, that some sometimes forget or don't consider)
I am not saying rate and review doesn't help with trades, but before you post a negative review that may or may not involve hurt feelings look at the person's review before hand. IF they have a good review with more then 10 good ones, then chances are your package got stuck in transit.
NO ONE with a good review is going to want to mess it up by not sending something to you, why would they?
have you ever receive a mangled envy? I have, and it was so bad I was SHOCKED I received it.
HOWEVER, IF this is a NEW person and they don't have but a few reviews chances are they may just be trying to get something for nothing and did some GOOD trades in order to set-up SOME bogus trade in order to receive some 'freebies'.
THIS happens too! Which is the true reason R & R was requested to be started.
If a person STOPS communicating with you through emails, think about WHY.
ARE you hounding them?
Have you sent multiple emails maybe getting more and more irrate? or maybe just unpleasant? Even if you don't mean too?
It happens to the best of us.
OK, stepping down from the soap box now. I DID NOT mean to upset anyone with the post I left and those of you involved or have read that certain post KNOWS which one I am talking about.
Again, I am sorry of you were offended by what I posted.
NOT LOOKING FOR COMMENTS HERE. JUST wanted to state things some may not think about, and YES some people think the post office is golden and always gets things through, not always the case.
Please remember that. NOT looking for negative comments either, 'If you can't say something nice then come sit by me' quoted from Steel Magnolias.
If you misunderstand me at times, I am sorry. Never mean anything to hurt someone. I try to be tackful but sometimes I am tired and don't always do it tackfully.
FORGIVE me in advance. My opinions are my own and we all have one and express them from time to time. Not meaning to offend anyone. Those of you who KNOW ME know I do not try to hurt feelings. I try to help, if that is a problem well then there are many people here who need to stop trying to help too because it isn't want here apparently.
AGAIN JUST MY OPIONION....
