    Default Is there anyone else out there who never recived a pen from the swap?

    I know this is late but i wanted to give as much time as possible before saying anything. I never heard if my package arrived over in australia and i never received a pen in return

    Thank you for coming through. It really means a lot to know that someone is willing to step up and come though. Its disheartening when you ship a package internationally and never hear about how someone likes it, especially since this was my first time participating.

    Again I would like to thank you!!! I still would like to send you something in return as a thank you

    I never received mine from the states either so I wonder if there was something going wrong with customs or something. I put it down to my partner not sending me one as he stop communicating as soon as he received my pen but maybe I was to harsh to judge.
    Anyway bring on the next swap I'm certainly not going to let 1 disappointment stop me having fun
    When is the next swap

    We will have to give some serious consideration as to whether we will allow non-performing members to participate in the next swap(s).

    There are actually some people that haven't done the right thing more than once.

    I know that life gets in the way sometimes, and I am not judging people that for one reason or another could not complete their end of the swap.

    What I do judge, and condemn, is not communicationg with your partner and advise your partner that there is a problem.

    Fortunately these people are in the minority, the vast majority of particpants play the game and derive pleasure from this and give enjoyment to the other particpants.

    Thank you for most generous offer but I have way to many blanks as it is, I'm happy to give someone a pen and blanks and not get anything in return just like you are offering but it is as Big shed has said in the quote bellow communication is the key.
    I just hope nothing tragic has happened to him.
