Nyte's Christmas Card Swap

I'm signing up for this just because I like the Swap Coordinator's explanations about the swap! Thank you, nytetears! You made my day!

Glad to have you Porpie5

How long after the deadline do you think would be appropriate for a 3? a year? a month? a week? a day?

Do you mean by "card" a notecard? Do we need to write inside our cards/postcards?

hello, I would like to join. And I am excited to participate. I will do my best. Greetigs Aly

@itsnobody it is your choice a postcard or a folded card but it must be a Christmas card

@pne this is a personal choice but I give in the country about 4 weeks then I contact them out of the country I tend to give 8 weeks

@nytetears , I think @pne 's question was about sending late and rating a 3. How late of a send justifies a 3 rating?

@TC that’s right — @nytetears I was asking whether I would be justified in rating a 3 if the sender sent 3 months late? 1 month late? 1 week late? How late would it have to be before you would consider a 3 rating appropriate

@pne oh sorry Again that is personal preference if someone contacts you and says hey I am sick and can't get to the post office. Give them a little time is my thought. I have rated 1's and I have rated 3's but only when obviously deserved. I check the swap is it marked sent? I give them some time then contact them for a resend. if I get the resend then they get a 5. Is it not marked sent? I contact them and ask sometimes they forgot to mark sent.

I guess I am just more laid back in the whole thing. Is getting a postcard or a Christmas card late really worth ruining someone's rating?

Now if they never contact you back or give you the run around then ya they likely need a 1 or 3.

I guess I am just more easy going I am here to enjoy myself and I don't feel getting high blood pressure because a card was postmarked 2 days late is accomplishing that

again it's all personal preference I just like to make people think about it. Don't wait 2 weeks for an out of country card then mark them a 1 without contacting them first to make it right.

I was just sick for 6 weeks so bad I was using my nebulizer 4+ times a day and my rescue inhaler almost every hour or 2 I could not have made it to the mailbox if I wanted to and all I had to do was walk to the street in front of my house. My Father in Law died unexpectedly in August. Things happen in life. (I was not late on swaps btw it's just an example)

I hope that makes sense. I just want people to stop and think. How would I feel if I was rated like that for that reason? is it truly a fair reason?

@tc thank you I had miss understood the question

Sorry, I forgot to say I had sent it yesterday. Please note there is no postal service in acanada on Saturdays and Sundays and we just finished a postal strike here so I hope there is not a back log. Merry Christmas everyone.
