smoke allergies

What happens in babalina's case? Originally, when her swap began, her partner did not smoke. So it was an appropriate match.
However, the partner then began to smoke, before her package had been mailed off.
Technically, at the time of partnering, she was a non-smoker, but situations changed.

I have to say I was irked but what can you do? Nothing at that point but live and learn really I do now think that she should have asked for an angle as completely just FUBARD the whole thing and it was NOT a cheap swap like a tin or something it was large and well.. she did sign as a NON SMOKER and that was the reason we were partnered and then mid swap she does this she did not follow the rule to swap with partner IMO.....

it is a live and learn and my Org cant do the house hop patrol and it was just a SHOCK when I got my package and it was outside and so freaking nasty the box reeked and all inside was tossed it was as if had been stored in a plastic bag with smoke being pumped into it.

Now, I did not push the issue with the org, she did offer to get one but I just said no I did not want her feedback held and or anything like that I was so sad I wanted it over and made my own and that did make me happy so win win...

If you're talking about the one I think you're talking about, you two requested to be partnered together even though of the smoking incompatibility, and you were sent a specific pm from the organizer making sure that you were ok with it, and you said you were and that you trusted her. So in this particular case, it was you taking a chance on someone and not on the organizer at all.

Nope but that was a diff thing we were requested and that falls on us That item is at our local Shelter thrift and being enjoyed by all who enter That did not bug me like the one I am talking about I am actually glad that turned out the way it did as it is loved by so many this way! I got a good friend out of that swap and that is worth its weight in gold

OH jeez I'm sorry! Ok, I was worried you were upset about that when I thought it was all good. Sorry you got another one!
