Pick 3 Swap - November

Please post or pm me with suggestions on different items you'd like to see!

Hello, I'm new and wondering how things work. I would love to join

Hello, i'm a newbie and decided to join, and was wondering how we choose who to swap with? I see you wrote that you'd be assigning partners for this swap, so do those participating receive a message with our partner's name in it and then send out our items to them?

Sorry if it's a silly question, just wanted to make sure I learn what to do so my partner receives on time ^ ^' thank you for taking the time to read/answer

when she assigns you can go to your dashboard and in the upper right corner of page you will see rate partners, see who partners are etc click "see partners" and you will see who you are to send to........

thanks kellogg c:

@Embizzloveskitty & @Whisper

After the date I will click on a button and partners will be assigned. You will receive an automated notification from swap-bot. You come back to the swap page and in the upper right corner of the page is a tan colored box. You will click on "see the partner you send to" another box will pop up with the person you are sending to's info is in it.

When you have sent then click on "Click here when you have sent your items "

When you have received from your partner you go back to the swap page and click on "Rate your partners and coordinator"

When you get to that page you will rate your partner a 5 or 3 or 1.

You rate a 5 if the swap met the requirements (and you give a heart if it's an extra special swap).

You rate a 3 if you get the swap, but it didn't meet the posted swap requirements. (Side note - it is always good swapping protocol to contact your partner and advise them of why the swap didn't meet the requirements BEFORE rating. Or at least you give them a chance to fix the problem and then you can change the rating later)

You rate a 1 if you did not get the swap. (Again, you try and contact them first)

On this page you can also rate the Coordinator (me). You give a star if you feel that it was a good swap all around, if the Coordinator was helpful, etc.

Feel free to check out my profile page if you need any ideas on how to set up your profile. All you have to do is click on my user name.

Thanks @Kellogg

Yes, I do check profiles. October had almost 200 sign up. By the time I check to see that everyone is from the US - yes, there were about 8 signed up from outside the US - profiles filled out and the others with bad ratings, etc. It takes me several hours to do this.

I know there were a few who dropped because I didn't assign partners the day the swap sign up ended. I'm sorry they couldn't wait, but I prefer to have good swappers in my swaps so that is why I check.

I see we are the #10 swap today!

Oooo...up to #6 today!

Let me know what you would be interested in having. Thanks

Sorry to be annoying but where do I write the 3 that I pick ?

@Hjshorty72 - not sure what you are asking(?)

@Embizzloveskitty - You don't get to "choose" what 3 you will receive, just as your partner doesn't either. The person sending TO you will pick 3 from the list above and send to you. You will pick 3 items from the list above and send to the person that is assigned to you.

Oh yay I'm excited :) I am on Instagram and done swaps before buy never swapbot thank u for being so patient with me. I can have my package ready :). So the day comes and I'll receive an address to send it too rigt ?

Thank u

Hello Lovely people. This is my first swap ever on swapbot. Show me some love :)

@Embizzloveskitty - Yes when partners are assigned the you will have an address to send to.

Hi,

I'm a newbie but love this idea. I'm from the UK and didn't realise this was a regional swap for the USA.

Do I need to drop out of the swap ?

@emmalouiise91 yes you do! (But if you don't, the host @institches can remove you before she assigns partners.)

If someone sends me a Thanksgiving turkey (please send this frozen and of course a Butterball!) Thanks!! :D

Well, it won't be long before you take your #1 spot again!

@pne Thank you for the info. Slightly gutted though as I put together everything before I saw your message but I've removed myself I hope I don't get anything negative from doing so. Thanks again =]

@stlouisphile you beat me to the turkey comment. I hope I get you as a partner:)

Working on assigning partners today. Very, very windy here today....internet keeps going in and out.

Darn, I was watching and didn't log on yesterday and missed the deadline. I guess there's always next month though! (:

@emmalouiise91 You could always host a UK/Europe or International swap that's similar to this one! I'm sure an international one will pop up before long, I know I'd like to participate in one. :)

What i was always curious about is what do you do for book pages? Like it says 3 book pages, so do you take 3 pages from a book and take copies?

@NickyNightmare you tear out pages from an old book and use them to scrapbook, add to your cards or you can make dictionary flowers with them. It is really cool.

Oh that is really cool thanks :) @namabear

Oops! I sent mine out yesterday but forgot to mark it on here.

OK, so how long should I wait until I am concerned that my partner may not have received my package? Still waiting for a rating...
