Description:

Everybody loves candy. How exciting and tasty would it be to sample candy from different regions of the United Stetes and better yet from different regions of the world? Pretty exciting and very tasty. In this swap you are asked to swap candy that is UNIQUE to your region or country. Try to select candy that can only be purchased where you live. MAKING YOUR SWAP SELECTIONS: --think about unusual packaging --think about ingredients that may be special to where you live
--try to avoid candy that is mass marketed. for example most people have heard of and can easily obtain M & M's.
--try to select candy that reflects your region, state or country. --ABOUT CHOCOLATE: chocolate can melt when mailed during the summer months, so it is advised to send non chocolate candy. **I hope to run a chocolate swap this fall/winter, so be patient --try to include at least 3 different kinds of candy

BEFORE MAILING (as a courtesy): --Include a note letting swap partner know if candy contains WHEAT. EGGS, MILK, NUTS, PEANUTS or any other allergy prone food

--as a swap receipiant, if possible let your
swap partner know if you have any food
allergies, or dietary restrictions
either medical, religious or other

Internationsl participation is strongly encouraged. Sweets to the sweet.

I am so happy I could come up with something different. I really hope everyone participates. Thanks for writing Myrtille Amri.

Maybe everyone could post a note about what we received/ That would be interesting and fun.

user515 06/20/2006 #

Just post today, sorry for the delay but i was very very busy these latest days ! I hope that my swap partner 'll like my pkg!

user1274 06/20/2006 #

I strongly ENCOURAGE all swappers to send out their dandy candy. We all know how disappointing it is to not receive a swap, especially when you sent something. COME ON> Those of you who have not sent their package, and you know who you are, PLEASE

I am so glad it worked for you. I am quite disapppointed though with other swap participants. People can be so rude.

I sent mine but its going to France so im not sure how long it will take. I do know the postage cost more than the candy.

user1097 06/22/2006 #

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for not updating before. I did in fact send my end. It was sent late and I apologize for that but it was sent. I sent on Monday the 19th and it's going to England so it's going to be ahwile. Just as with bohochic, the postage was more than the candy lol but I think I did a good job picking out candies.

user1274 06/22/2006 #

Thank you for responding. Sorry the international postage is so much $$$, but I am sure your swap partner will be delighted and most appreciative.

textdrivebys 06/23/2006 #

my partner rocks! thx so much eva!

My candy is waiting at the post office!

user1097 07/ 1/2006 #

Okay weird. Today i got home and the box that I sent was sitting at my door. It says No Postage on it in big letters. However, there is postage on it. I took it to the PO since it was overseas. This is like the third time in a week I've gotten packages back saying this. I will be re-sending Monday. I will post then when it goes out again. Is it possible to get a type of delivery confirmation for international mail?

user515 07/ 1/2006 #

Ectasia, it is possible to have a delivery confirmation for international shipping. I don't know the cost but in France it's around 1.30 euros ( 2 $). Try to know it at your post office :) Hope that your next postage will be Ok.

user1097 07/ 1/2006 #

Thank you Myrtille! I'll ask them about that. I actually called them today and they said that as long as I bring along the box (I have to repackage because they wrote in huge letters in marker) and show them that the postage was on it, they would cover the charge. Yay!

user1274 07/ 3/2006 #

i am glad things are starting to work out for a few of you. Frankly I am quite discouraged and disgusted with the whole swap thing. I send out packages and get nothing in return. Plus if people do get your swap they never acknowledge it, there is no closure on the whole process. I doubt I will do this again.

and I still have not received my candy package. I am sad about that.

user515 07/ 4/2006 #

Nothing received (even it wrote sent)... :(

user1274 07/ 4/2006 #

I know Myrtille, to be a bit crude, people suck. and to say you sent something and not to is really just a bunch of bull^&)(/ you know. I am sorry. I thought the candy swap would be fun and I was really looking forward to the whole thing. as I said before ,I am done with this nonsense.

user515 07/ 4/2006 #

He Edna! Would you exchange a pkg with me ? Even if our partner aren't nice with us, we can try to spoil us ? lol. I hope that you are ok even if I'm French :) If you agree, feel free to send me a e-mail on myrtille878@hotmail.com

dulcimer 07/ 4/2006 #

as i wrote on 06/21 my package was sent to France and i guess it hasnt yet arrived. I contacted the partner but she didnt respond except to ask someone else to swap with her (see above) I didnt send it special delivery but it was sent and as it was it cost a fortune. Why are you not taking this into consideration. as i said in my email it was full of canadian goodies. Give me a break.

user515 07/ 5/2006 #

Sorry Imthenana, but I have receive any e-mail from you. Be sure that I'll give an anwer or stand few bit. I know that airmail cost airmail cost is very expensive and can take many long time but I know also that many bad swapper on Swap-bot especially when her/his partner live overseas. Usually I saw the feedback by others partner from a swap and If I saw an average more 4, I know that my partner are great and I stand 2/3 weeks after wrote something, but it wasn't your situation so i'm asking if my pkg wasn't send.

Let's not start an international scandal over candy. As is the case so often, the few who are bad, make it hard for those who are good to have patience.

user1326 07/ 5/2006 #

My partner hadn´t told me nothing. I don´t know if she received or no. I´ll email her.

user515 07/11/2006 #

Received today, sorry to think that you was a bad swapper Imthenana = I'm changing your rate. *Thanks you so much *

user1372 07/14/2006 #
