Comment: Hi Francesca. The re-send you sent on March 17th arrived in time for Easter! But it was supposed to be New Year Postcard, not a handmade note. I didn't rate you down, but please try to honor swap requirements in the future. Edited 5/10/18: reduced rating to 3 to address the issue of honoring swap requirements.

Comment: Admittedly you hoodwinked me but after going back through my records and closely examining the postmark date of your handmade PC I realized you have not been truthful at all. Blaming the Chilean PO for something that is obviously your wrongdoing is unethical and not the Swap-bot way.

Comment: On December 11, 2017, you messaged me to ask if I would mind if you created a handmade pc for this swap, to which I replied that I did not mind at all. On January 7th, 2018, you posted to the swap comments that you had mailed on time but had forgotten to mark sent. Today, April 24, 2018 I received your pretty, handmade postcard, but the postmark was March 17, 2018. Now if you had mailed this on time, you would have no way to know it had not been received by me, because due to my own book keeping error, I failed to notice this was not received and thus failed to contact you or rate you a 1. There were no other communications between us, so my only conclusion is that you never sent these until March. I hate to leave poor ratings,mbut feel that this is very justified. I do appreciate you following through with the swap, but feel that others should be aware that not only does the Chilean postal system tend to lose things, but that sometimes it is not their fault, but your poor time management that is to blame.

Comment: Updated 17/3/18: I finally received the last package she sent. Unfortunetely the things she sent do not meet the requirements of the swap. She was suppose to send three profile-based items with the minimum spending limit of 15 USD before shipping. She sent a supermarket brand of camomile tea (it says in my profile I'm not fond of camomile), a small glas of marmelade (again I said in my profile I don't really enjoy marmelade and I really have only a few dislikes on my profile because tea and food-wise I'm really easy to please!), a small spice package that has no label so I don't know what it is and a Christmas deco heart. I have asked a Chilean friend what the price range for these products is in Chile and she told me she would have paid around 5-6 USD which is way below the minimum spending. Here are pictures of what she sent: http://www.flickr.com/photos/90863252@N02/albums/72157667874278138 Original rating: Unfortunately I have not received anything yet although Fran said she resent it (there was good communication, she keept me informed). I am more than happy to change my rating once I receive this swap. UPDATED 8/3/18: I am not sure why you keep talking about a 3rd resend?! You first told me that your husband's cousine would fly to Germany on 12 January 2018 and that he would mail your resent-package from here. Then you said you made a mistake but your brother-in-law was still in Chile and he would fly back to Germany on 8 February 2018. Also I have not received a tracking number for the first or for the second resend yet! UPDATED 22/3/18: Fransica sent me an email on 18 March 2018 telling me that she talked to the postal service and that all previous packages went missing. She said she sent a new package on 17 March 2018 and this time she provided me with a tracking number that proves she sent the package out. She said it is the fourth time she is sending a package. The first time was the original package, the second time when her husband's cousin agreed to take the package with him to Germany but there was no more space in his suitcase (don't get how this is a actual resend because the intention alone is not enough), the third time 5 weeks after the incident with her husband's cousin and the fourth time on 17 March 2018.

Comment: Such a fun envie to open! thank you for all the wonderful bits and pieces!

Comment: Fran! El envío llegó :) lo recibió mi mamá! Al llegar de clases me maravillé con cada una de las cositas que me enviaste :) Me encantó, la historia alusiva al color verde y todos los accesorios :) ! Amé el calienta manos de perrito y el muji ♥ Me encanta hacer intercambio contigo :*

Comment: Monastelar communicated well with me throughout the process and explained the post office can take months. She resent on Feb. 3 and that also has not arrived. I will happily change this rating and am sorry you have to deal with such an unreliable mail system, Monastelar.

Comment: With this swap happened the same as in the previous, you asked me to send through another shipping company, I told you that there was no problem, but the dates do not match the shipment either. Then I find out that you supposedly sent the same swap through the chile post office, which I never knew and never found out. As far as I know, the idea of sending by Starken was to avoid all the drama that chile post has, but it was never because a swap was lost. I insist, I always had good disposition and I was understanding, it was something to talk about it and say that you could not send to the date, I would have understood.

Comment: It's regrettable to have to put this rating, but given the circumstances I will do it. In general, I am very patient and very understanding, because I know the mail service we have in Chile, but there are things that I don't understand. You told me that you sent the swap, but that it missed some washi samples, that you noticed and sent another immediately. I only got the first one, but the second one did not and I never had a tracking number or anything, even though I asked for it to be able to do the procedures in my post office. Then you sent me the other swap but the dates do not match. As I said before, I keep the good vibes at all times, in fact we always communicate, but you were never very clear about the envelopes or the dates you sent and that is unfortunate because I think I was always understanding and I was willing to talk and everything, after all there were only very few things missing, I would have understood, but I would have liked you to be sincere from the beginning. This I say because I knew that you sent him the document of the alleged return to the host, but the number does not match or does not exist in the Chilean postal registers.

Ich habe mich mehr als gefreut <3 und alles ist solo niedlich ^_^ Vielen lieben Dank! Ich habe mal von dem Katzentempel gehört, ich meine, der ist in München, oder? Wenn ich das nächste Mal dort bin, werde ich den auf jeden Fall ausfindig machen!

Comment: Muchas gracias por tu swap, me gustó el formato de la cajita y amé el sobre, lo trataré con cuidado y lo reutilizaré jjaja. Gracias.

Comment: Hej Fran, My cats are rescue also. We have 5 now. Spooky, the last one we rescued off the street gave us a gift of 5 babies. One passed away, 3 were adopted out, and we have 1 with us still. I think he will be staying. He is a black tuxedo and we call him Boots. eel

Comment: Thank you for your card.

Comment: Great card, thank you. Halloween is such a huge deal here that I forget that it isn't in most places. I assume that is true of Chile. Thanks for the great card.

Comment: Thank you for the goodies! Thank goodness my bag was big enough to fit the package when I collect it at the Post Office.. hehe! Have a lovely day (:

Comment: Thanks for this beautiful envie with the calendar pages and white bags. They will be fun to add to some projects! I was amazed that it cost over $4000 to send! What a high exchange rate! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

Comment: Thank you, Fran! I love your card and the poem--so cute! Yes, cats are VERY dominant creatures . . . but I love them just the same. Thanks, too, for the cutest EVER little notepad! I absolutely adore the little drawings on the front.

Comment: I down right love the PC and I will for sure have to try a few of these drinks, well the ones without citrus in them. I love Snow White. I even like the remakes of it that have sequels. It is a great timeless classic that will be with all of us always.

Comment: Thank you so much, I love the carrotty pen xx

Comment: Hej Francisca, Thank you for the notecards and the cute wee post-its! ❤️ eel

Comment: Muchas gracias Francisca por el swap, te pasaste! Como dijiste, mis gatos fueron muy felices con la pelota luminosa y también con el spinner, jajaja, fue chistoso verlos. Tu carta donde me cuentas la historia de cada una de tus mascotas me enterneció y encantó, es tan lindo adoptar!!!! Cariños y gracias de nuevo!

Comment: Gracias Fran! No soy muy fan de los bombombun, pero ya los comieron jajaja. Las bolsitas con foil las amé.

Comment: Thanks very much for the gorgeous envelope you sent me and the fun things inside, too - I will send you pics by email of the outer envelope (still pretty, even though part of it got a little damaged in transit: I will guess what it was suppose to say and maybe you can tell me). A very happy July to you, Fran, hope it was GREAT!

Comment: Thank you very much for all the wonderful and unique kitty things😻

Comment: Thanks - I love bread!

Comment: Thanks for the awesome postcard 😋 I might have to look up a recipe sometime and try Amasado. Have a great week, Nathan

Comment: I think I found the correct swap! I received this large postcard with a cat on it --but it was marked as PC Roulette, which I don't believe I signed up for. Let me know if that's incorrect! :D Weird -- now I received this card from you on 2/20/18. With photos of your cats!

Comment: Thank you for the interesting decorated postcard!

Comment: Vielen lieben Dank für Deine Postkarte. Ich bin immer überrascht, wenn ich aus der weiten Ferne eine Postkarte bekomme - die auf Deutsch geschrieben ist. :) Hab ein schickes Wochenende

Comment: Thanks for the lovely bird card!

Comment: Hello Francisca! (I'm so sorry I misspelled your name in the past--I just noticed that ;+) Your kitties arrived today and they're just lovely! The pen is SO cute, as are the stickers, and the drawing of the lady and black cat is precious--is it a magnet? I really loved hearing about your furbabies--I really miss having a dog and your dog sounds wonderful. So sweet that all your kitties are 'adopted' . . . thank you for everything! (p.s. the bag you sent the swap in is beautiful!)

Comment: The envelope was so COOL, I almost didn't want to open it! But of course I did :D Thank you for telling me about Mr. D and Bellota. Mr. D looks a bit like my Loki! I think it's awesome you give those poor kitties (and dog) a home, you have a good heart! Thank you for this fun swap!

Comment: Me encantaron las cositas gatunas, todo al juego, preciosas, muchas gracias. Y por supuesto que fui a conocer a tus hijitos peludos en instagram, son herrrrrrrrrrmosos, Ninja se ve "pasadita de peso", igual que mi Felipe Antonio, una guatona exquisita... todos hermosos... cariños a los bebés...

Comment: ¡Me encantó tu swap! Y justo me faltaban washi tapes con esos tonos, así que les daré muy buen uso. Gracias por pensar en mí con todos estos detalles de gatitos y amé el empaque por fuera, me hiciste muy, muy feliz!

Comment: Francisca! Muchas, muchas gracias por tu hermoso swap, fui feliz desde que vi el sobre, te pasaste! Y sí, somos del mismo equipo con respecto a los gatos. Muchas, muchas gracias por los detalles, las cosas bonitas, la cartita, amé todo.

Comment: Thank you so much for this wonderful swap! Loved the goodies and the tags you sent as a mini bullet journal, so creative and cute!! Thanks! I'll be soon replying :)

Comment: Thank you so much for all of the adorable cat stickers. The note is lovely as well. Thank you for saving all of your cats and dog! <3 Americans abandon their animals, too, unfortunately. So sad. Thankfully there are good people out there who help them. My cats are both from the streets, too. I will look for them on Instagram :) Thank you again!

Comment: Thank you for the lovely note. I've never felt a real earthquake, we don't have them on the east coast--but they do have them in California sometimes. They just seem so scary, please stay safe!!

Comment: Thank you, I especially enjoyed the pretty stamp you used.

Comment: Interesting letter about earthquakes. I have not gone through an earthquake. My husband did once in Mexico City while having breakfast at the airport. Didn't last long. He said, looking out window, the earth seemed to rise.

Comment: Sorry for the late rate! I thought I'd rated you already! I love the recipes - thanks so much for sending them my way! And the envelope is lovely - where did you get the lacey washi tape? Thanks again!

Comment: Hola!! me acaba de llegar el swap!! (nunca pensé que entregaban tan tarde jajaja) me ha gustado toodo, muchas gracias por los detallitos :), mi oscuro secreto es que siempre había querido tener una de esas calculadoras pero la encontraba algo innecesaria, pero ahora que la tengo la haré indispensable en mi mochila jajaja ¡la amo! Y bueno, aunque las cosas no salieron a la primera salieron finalmente :D. Espero que estes suuuuuper bien y que volvamos a ser amigas swappers Besos.

Comment: Thank you for cute stickers! ♥ I really enjoy them ;)

 

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful handmade postcard.

Comment: Thank you!

Comment: What a lovely envelope to find in my mailbox! And the kitty on the card is sweet, too. I look forward to looking at the kitties' Instagram page - they sound delightful! All three of mine have varied personalities (sometimes annoying, but almost always loveable). And my dog Ivy tolerates them (I think sometimes she wishes they'd just go in another room, but she's really good around them). Thanks for sending such a nice mailing!

Comment: Thanks for this handmade cat card :) I love animals too. I have 2 cats and 3 gerbils.

Comment: Hi Fran! Thank you so much for the large and cute handmade cat postcard--I love it! I completely agree--I'm into getting more sleep too because I don't get enough! Heh! I am also into trying new teas, working on eating healthy on a budget and planning trips as much as possible these days! ;)

Comment: Super cute, I love it! So nice hearing about your adopted floofs too. Thank you x

Comment: I have changed this rating to the hosts request however I do not believe you mailed it on the day you said you did and you insisted you had tracking which you did not provide me. But you got your 5.

Comment: Finalmente llegó tu postal!! Me gustó mucho el washitape del decorado, voy a probar hacer la receta cuanto antes. Que tengas lindo día >.<

Comment: Lovely card! Love the embellishments!! ♥♥! Francisca, estamos en las mismas. No soy fan del frío, lo ADORO!!!! Muchas gracias por la tarjeta. Me encantó!! No te envidio el calor pero no si están sufriendo tanto como nosotros (32°C a las 8PM es demasiado)... Acá siempre es de locos pero las clases empezaron en Febrero, el tiempo solo se detiene dos semanas de diciembre y la Semana Santa!! Jaja.....

Comment: Belated thank you, Francisca, for hosting a wonderful swap (one of my favorites in my year or so of being part of SB :) and for a thoughtful, adorable package of lovely kitty lady stationery and goodies! I especially loved the puffy black cat stickers that remind me of my dear baby Uling, the wrench-shaped ruler, and the hilarious open-mouthed cat greeting card ♥♥♥

Comment: Lots of fun and well done. Thank you

Comment: Hey Francisca, I finally got it!! :D :D Thank you so very much!! I liked everything! And I think my favourite touch was the metallic tiny paperclip!! <3 Thank you! I hope we see each other in future swaps! But for now, have a wonderful weekend!

Comment: Hola, me encantó el totebag y los stickers <3

Comment: Thank you for the poem and translation - I had never heard of Pedro Lemebel before but I'm now reading a bit about him online. I can only find his novel translated to English, but I did enjoy this poem.

Comment: You forgot to name the swap your postcard was for. Finally figured it out today.

Comment: Thank you, thank you, thank you for the adorable, festive envelope of goodies -- I especially love the happy, tasseled llama and colorful houses of Valparaiso cards, the kitty and bird washi, dragon sticker, and your wonderfully kind and encouraging message (I love reading letters/postcards in the other languages I have studied for a bit to use another part of my brain :) I also hope that you accomplish all that your heart desires this year and always, Francisca! Best wishes to you and your family ♥

Comment: Thank you for another amazing recipe! - and also for the protein card - it's true that you can find protein in SO MANY sources that are not animal-based. I'm eating mostly vegan again for this month and I feel awesome :)

Comment: This sounds delicious! I am going to try to get the ingredients for this and make it!

Comment: Thank you for the postcard. I had a hard time rating because I did not realize that postcard belonged to this swap.

Comment: I just received the BIG pc with the adorable chilling cat on it today!!! Thank you so much Francisca :D (Just followed you on IG) xoxoxo

Comment: Love it! Thank you for the lovely rainbow items, can't wait to use them all :) I especially like the purple folder nail decals <3

Comment: Thank you for the lovely postcard.

Comment: Muchas gracias Francisca por tu hermoso swap veraniego. Me encantaron los brillos de labios y la crema de manos, me traje esas dos cosas al trabajo para empezar a usarlas ahora ya! La pinza-corazón está hermosa y tu carta me hizo asentir muchas veces porque me pasa lo mismo, no me gusta mucho el verano y necesito motivarme con cosas extra como este swap. Amo también ese panorama que nombraste, terraza y cerveza bien helada! Abrazos y hasta la próxima!!!!

Comment: A hundred hearts for your cat creation! lol It is too adorable. It did arrive in 2 pieces. :( No biggie. I taped his little snow head back on. lol It is the best and I shall treasure it forEVER! I love the back too! Im really into decorating the back of postcards too. Thank you sooooo much! If youre interested doing a decorated one page letter about our pets Im interested. x

Comment: So sorry to be late on rating! I forgot that it was a two-partner swap, silly me! Your swap items were lovely: some personal, some quirky, some elegant and some fun. Thank you.

Comment: Thanks for the recipe! Sounds great!

Comment: Resend arrived! If your first one was as neat as your resend, I'm sorry I didn't get to see it. Ninji, Didi, and Toni all look like sweet kitties. I too, had a kitty once who thought she was a parrot :) Thanks for resending

Comment: Very cute letter from your cats & dog!

Comment: Petrogue looks beautiful. Thanks for the lovely card.❤❤❤

Comment: Thank you so much for your wonderful card! Happy holidays! :)

Comment: Thank you for your card. I received your card earlier, but didn't see the swap name, so leave it aside until I have time to research what swap it was. I did find the message you sent last month about the Chilean postal strike. Hopefully all has been settled. Merry Christmas!

Comment: I just loved how you included all the furr babies including the dog. They all are way too adorable. Read hubby the email and he got a great kick out of it. He loved Didi the best because my hubby can relate to the only child syndrome. Way too cute.

Comment: great fun

Comment: Didi, Ninja, and Toni - and yes, Bellota, too! I hope you all get your wishes from Santa Claw. But, Toni, I think you might find you would really be lonely with only Dad and none of the others! And Ninja, my Dodger is just like you - and he doesn't like it either! He was the tiniest little kitten, and now he's the biggest cat who ever lived over here. And he has to be on a diet. I think your parents are just looking out for you. But maybe a little treat for Christmas! Merry Christmas, you lovable cats and dog!

Comment: Muchas gracias por tus palabras linda. Un abrazo y felices fiestas!

Comment: Your cats are beautiful (and somewhat needy 😉). 😻 It was nice to hear from the whole family. Merry Christmas to you and your clan. 🎄

Comment: U R THE BEST! A Will and Grace postcard. I am so framing it! Thank you so much for thinking about me and reading my profile. The postcards have arrived safely and have made my day!

Comment: Muchas gracias Francisca por tu carta, me hizo mucho reír la parte de las frases y me encantaron tus metas que irán surgiendo en el camino. Un abrazo y lo mejor en lo que queda de este año y para 2017!

Comment: Muchas gracias Francisca, recibí tu tarjeta navideña y me hiciste muy feliz, es un agrado que el conserje me pase sobres tan lindos como el tuyo, un abrazo!

Comment: You have such lovely cats! And the dog is adorable, thank you for the wonderful pictures. They are obviously very loved.

Comment: I love the sticky flags you sent. I will love using them in my planner :). I was not able to see if I also like chilean chocolate, because there was no chocolate in the the envelope. It looks like someone at the post office wanted to help themselves to the piece of chocolate, lol. Oh well, maybe next time :)

Comment: Hello Francisca for your amazing card!! Loved the story behind it. I will read more about this tribe. Thank you so much!!!! Ohhh and the stamp is loving!! ** Francisca, que belleza de tarjeta, gracias!! Triste es la marca que deja el progreso definitivamente... !!!

Comment: Thanks for the card! Bellota looks very cute. She even has an Instagram! You are right, the story of how you got her is very interesting. My dog hates cats... Bellota must be a very easygoing dog. Thank you for the swap!
