Private swaps welcome! :)

If you do not receive an item from me on time, please contact me before giving me a bad rating. As I'm aware of the fact that even letters and postcards can take several weeks from Europe to overseas, I always try to send my stuff as early as possible. I usually get everything prepared beforehand so that I can mail the items one or two days after the sign-up date - in most cases as soon as the partners are assigned because the post office is around the corner.

And don't worry, I'd never rate you a 3 for lateness because life happens, and I'm too busy with other things than just concentrating on the packages that I'll be receiving. As long as a swapper is trustworthy and does send out their stuff, I don't mind if it's two weeks late. Yes, I know I'm very understanding. :D
