REPLACEMENT PARTNERS!

[ellipsisdream]

I would like a swap partner for the cephalopod swap. Thanks!

You could send to your original partner if you want to reverse that negative feedback.

I quest I'm confused, is there a place to put my name in for Relacement partners & Angels? Because everything I find says it's for the organizers.  I just wanted to help. If anyone can help please email me. Thanks, SharaLee

Sharalee - the organiser will post for a replacement partner or an angel and then you simply respond to the posting.

Ok I understand now. Thanks, SharaLee

I'm currently in the yarnies vs sewists swap and I messaged both my partner and the swap organiser on the send out date to say that I would be a few days late as I'd been asked to work extra shifts at work (I'm a nurse) and hadn't had a chance to put the finishing touches to my package. I got a reply saying that my partner had gone MIA in another swap and I realised that actually I hadn't heard from her in a while, I wasn't surprised by this  as previously she had communicated to me that getting internet access could sometimes be difficult for her but that she would endeavour to reply in a timely manner. Anyway I pmed her and I have yet to receive a reply and this is nearly 2 weeks later now. I also finished the package in this time and pmed the organiser to let them know I had finished. I am still yet to hear what will happen now. I don't know what feedback I will get, I have a parcel I don't know what to do with and I haven't heard back from the organiser or my partner. From what has been said I'm presuming I wouldn't be suitable for a replacement as the send out dates had been and gone? So what happens now? I've never had a problem in any other swap and I've had 16 successfully completed swaps, admitedly some better than others but I've not yet received any negative feedback.

When I had a partner go MIA one of the others in that swap volunteered to be a replacement partner. I had a half finished item that I couldn't very well change half way so the organiser hinted at the theme/colour since I couldn't make adjustments.

So I think you could still get a replacement partner. Open a help desk ticket if you're unsure what to do. At the time I was ready to just keep the item I had made and be taken out of the swap completely, but it worked out great with my replacement in the end. IF you don't want a replacement partner you should be able to be dropped cleanly from that swap I think, but the mods will know for sure... soo... Help desk ticket

Thanks for your advice, how do I open a help desk ticket? I've never done this before, sorry if that's a really dumb question. x

Top of the page, press the link called "help" and then pick "Help desk" in the next page you get. From there you can open a new help desk ticket and see any old ones. Just pick "swap-related" as the Category and fill in the rest as you would fill in a PM.

I had something similar happen. I posted pictures of what I had made, and it turned out that someone wanted to do a personal swap with me for one of the large items. (She pm'ed me, I didn't suggest it in the thread.) Maybe that would be an option for you, if your organizer doesn't have a problem with it. Though it looks like it's been a while, so maybe it's sorted out by now.
