mag

My name is Mag. I am currently living in singapore. I love calligraphy & hand lettering, creating keepsakes, day dreaming, movies, music, photography, reading and writing.

I love doing private swaps for profile surprises. pm me if you are interested and I'm sure we can work something out. See my ambassador introduction here!

A little disappointed that many don't seem to honour their side of the swap, but I still do enjoy getting some lovely mail. So due to being flaked on several times lately, my only request would be that you send out the swap first, and I will send you your package shortly after receiving it (if you are a newbie), or will only swap if sent via registered mail.

Please note the format of my address. It is a "mailbox" not "po box". I get the mail redirected to my home mailbox and do not need to collect it from the post office.

Please include your swap-bot name and name of swap inside them. I would appreciate this very much - thank you for understanding. Please note: decorated envelopes are absolutely fine (:

It may take some time especially for international posts. I always mail on time, so please be patient! I do mail via air mail, however there may be times when the post office will not allow me as there may be items in your package that can't be sent via air mail. For those cases, I will opt for sea mail and inform you about it. From my experiences, it can take about 2 weeks longer than air mail. P.S. Read this as well. If you have yet to receive something from me (normally after 2 months), please contact me before leaving me a rating of 1.

I understand that sometimes life gets in the way and that you might not be able to send on time. I would appreciate it if you contact me and let me know instead of leaving me in the dark. It is the polite thing to do! I would rather receive a really nice package late than a sloppy package on time. However, don't make empty promises - I don't tolerate flakers!
