Comment: I've given this a lot of thought, and I just can't rate this swap a 5. The disc only had 12 songs, not the 15 asked for in the swap description - it's not a case of including several songs that are relatively long; it just falls short of the minimum. But I'm mainly unhappy with its lack of packaging. The disc arrived pretty scratched up - I understand that it's cheaper to send discs without hard plastic cases (and that cases weren't a requirement of the swap), but it's reasonable to assume that CDs sent without cases will still be packaged in a way that protects them from damage. This disc wasn't even in a sleeve, just placed directly into a greeting card-sized paper envelope with no padding. It had a few inches of extra room to slide back and forth, increasing its chances to get scratched (coming from Alaska, it had a long trip to Michigan). This seems careless - I've received other CDs in sleeves and slightly padded envelopes, with no damage to them; shipping on these was still under $1.50. Please understand that I really don't mean to be a killjoy, and I am trying to articulate my feelings as tactfully as possible.

 

Comment: I received the CD, but it was sent pretty late and after the swap coordinator contacted her a couple of times.

Comment: Your CD is my favorite of the ones I got, but it was late, so I think it's only fair to give you a 3. I did appreciate the fact that you emailed us to let us know your packages would be late, though. Awesome CD, thanks!
