Description:

I've noticed the surprise packets are getting "famous", so here's another one ;-)

BUT because of the many flakers around here I have to be more stricter... The angels I've done costs a lot of money, so...here are the new rules:

  • NO NEWBIES THIS TIME (sorry)
  • You've already done 5 or more type 3swaps!
  • You have a rating of 4.95 or higher.

I'm going to check every single profile to be sure that there are no flakers around here!


This is a swap for the people who love surprises ;-)

You have to send a surprise packet to your partners! :)

At least 3 different kind of things...

examples: postcards, magnets, coins, pins, souvenirs, stickers, jewelery, books, candy ... doesn't matter what, as long as your partner would be happy with it ;-) And how do you know if he/she would be happy with it??? READ THEIR PROFILE ;-) Or send them a message...

NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is a surprise PACKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's a type 3 swap!!!! Please, keep this in mind!!!!

So this is a profile based swap, isn´t it?
And I have another question, is there some kind of spending limit or anything else to be shure it´s a fair swap? I mean in theory I could send a postcard, a few coins and a small magnet. On the other hand I could send a book, jewlery and a sack of candy. Thanks :)

Meepy 08/ 2/2013 #

This is indeed a profile based swap...but there could be of course other things in the surprise... With sending a postcard, coins and a magnet, it isn't really a packet, is it? ;-)

I don't put a price on the swap, just because not every country is as cheap/expensive as the other... Maybe I could have done that when it was only US, but this is an international swap...

I hope everyone is going to please their partner ;-)

Thanks :), is on my watchlist ;)

A minimum spending limit in US dollars is clear for everyone I guess. I just mailed out my swap for #3. :)

Do we need to wrap the items as other swaps require or is this just a surprise package as entire package?

Meepy 09/ 2/2013 #

you don't have to wrap them, but if you like to do that, you can always wrap the items ;)

Lizard 09/ 2/2013 #

I agree with @betty194 because I have sent out packages that cost a lot to buy AND a lot to post, only to receive flat items - small boring stickers, a few ephemera papers, a postcard in return.

A minimum spend would help a lot. Maybe even a "Not only flat ephemera" or something.

Nice Swap! .. but I have had the same experience as @Lizard .. so will join if a minimum spend is specified. Watching for now :)

zoev1975 09/ 3/2013 #

I had the exact same thing. A tiny little envelope with one small notecard a couple of memo sheets and some tiny stickers. But technically it met the description. Watching for now to see if a guide is added.

Sooty2Shoes 09/ 3/2013 #

Same as above. Waiting to see if there is a price guideline added. ^^

Meepy 09/ 4/2013 #

I think the people here now what a "packet" is... A flat envy is not a packet... And I don't put a price on it. If I say € 3... then I can send 1 magnet and a postcard...really. The cheapest postcard I've bought in Belgium was € 0,30 and a touristic magnet is € 2,50... I don't think that would make someone happy...

Hey @Meepy can you check my profile and tell me if I am eligible for this swap or not? I really want to take part!

Breezybealle 09/ 5/2013 #

It's kind of hard to put a minimum price limit on it because there are so many types of things you can send that don't cost a lot but are still loved just as much as something that costs a fortune. I like to hand make most of my swaps, put a LOT of time & effort into the items I send but sometimes I don't "pay" for them at all because I already have the materials or they are altered, etc. But still beautifully put together. I would not join if there WAS a minimum spending limit for that reason alone. I don't necessarily have the physical money to put out, but still know how to make it worth while for my partner.

Id really like to do this im new but have already sent 4 swaps out

Meepy 09/ 7/2013 #

There are 15 people on my list that I'm going to check tomorrow again...

It's about late swaps, not having 5 type3 swaps, or not being online for 1week or more. So please people...check your own profile and the rules before joining...

I completly agree with @ Breezybealle as one who would prefer to add some items hand crafted with love. Some postage out there is horrendous, so if you have recieved flat items from O/S be mindful that USA is not the only country in the world! For example... A postcard plain boring is a dollar plus here. Those small hat pins are $6. A lot of the world is in recession, so a little gratefullness might be needed by some swappers. Ok, I am off my soap box. Peace

10 people are deleted from this swap...I know I'm too strict this time, but I don't want any possible flakers this time ;-)
