Partner: Reider Girl
Swap: Personal Candy Swap (USA candy for UK candy)

Issue: Partner flaked. I sent out her package (not cheap)on November seventh and contacted her to let her know she said she'd be sending mine out before that date and I never recieved it. I've contacted her other times since then and she's ignored my messages while having made other posts on the board.

Solution: I give up on her and suggest that noone else swaps with her.




UPDATE

*** Reider Girl is a flake and my "swap angel" didn't pull through either "c'est la vie",
I'm not going to bother with this anymore. Good luck to the rest of you***

Partner: Cassie B

Swap: Love for another swap

Issue: For this swap we weren't sending to each other but to a friend each of us nominated. I sent out on the 22nd dec but haven't heard if her friend Megan received. I asked my friend to let me know if she recieved anything but she hasn't so far. I put a lot of thought and time into crafting for this swap (and it was expensive to post) and I'm disapointed that my friend hasn't had anything in return.

Solution: Taken this to swap angels board and messaged swap host (Jolanda)

ATTENTION: Dizzy Disaster is well now and ready to swap again!

Partner: Dizzy Disaster
Swap: Swap Angels!!! I was her 'Angel'!!! :o
Issue : same as Pam, partner flaked though she sent me a personal message saying she was unable to finish the swap due to sickness.
Solution: she is an unreliable swapper, no one should swap with her until she is well.

@DizzyDisaster: this board is for people who were flaked on to write who flaked on them and why. There are one thousand reasons for people to flake on a swap, including accidents, hospitalizations and other dreadful stuff, but a lot of people just stop swapping because they've lost interest, or they don't have the time or money to continue.
This board isn't a wall of shame, it is just a warning to other swappers. My opinion is that everybody who returns and says there are good reasons for them flaking (like you), should be given a second chance. First though, I'd contact the people who posted you on this board and I'd offer to complete the swaps you backed off from. It seems like the most sensible thing to do. Most of the times it's not being flaked on that annoys people, is the absence of communication. If you can guarantee now you're better and you're not going to flake again, off you go - you can start swapping again as hard as you want. Just make sure you're not biting off more than you can chew and flaking again.

So I am not sure if it is an incomplete swap but, I mailed out a Happy Gram and I didn't take any photos, because I didn't want to be tempted to post them, then i never found out if my Happy Gram was received, Lovely Mary (charge for Happy Grams) messaged my receiver and still nothing, so I am kind of considering it incomplete, kind of on my part because WTF!? Where is my package, AND!!! what if the post office lost it!? I'd start going to the next town!!!! I want to make sure my stuff is getting out there!!!
I am doing another Happy Gram though, because I received mine and loved it!!!! I also put my name to be an angel, that way it's like a "Happy Gram"
Anyways, I just like swapping!! I want to keep it up!!
