I sent 5 ATC's for a swap to someone last Tuesday, the envelope arrived with my SAE but no ATC's. It had undone itself en route. I was devastated, my first attempt at swapping, and some I couldn't replace as I had used things I only had one of. Still trying to find them in the postal service, they had my email address on but not my mail address. I don't have much luck with the post as I never got my Santa swap either. Anyway I decided to put it behind me and try again, so I'm entering another swap, and have made some spare ones too. ![]() ![]() Edited by jo145, Jun 15 2008, 06:54 PM.

Lovely ATCs, Jo Sorry you're having so many postal problems Sounds rather suspicious that everything except the actual cards arrived I have to wonder if it would pay to put ATCs between two sheets of thick card that are deinitelty larger than credit cards ![]() I know that some areas have more problems with mal getting lost or damaged than others You'd think that, t a time where the Post office should be fighting to survive, they'd be tightening up on such things ![]() Steve ![]() |

I had actually put them inside a card, if only I'd put it in upside down as the card and SAE were still in the envelope! I phoned a helpline and registered a complaint, the young man was very helpful and seemed to think I would get them back! I was asked how much - I said priceless works of art! but concluded that they probably cost me 30p each! I posted more to another swap today and they are inside a strip from the storage sheets, inside a long card fastened with a strip of paper and inside an envelope well sellotaped! Names plastered all over too.I shall watch with bated breath for their safe arrival.

Certainly sounds like there's little reason for the ATCs to be missing, Jo I'd definitely put a higher value on them, though - something below "needs insurance" levels but enough to make a difference ![]() that the new ones get through safely Steve ![]() |

Your ATCs are lovely Jo. It's such a shame when they go astray in the post, that has happened to me a couple of times and I always make spares just to be on the safe side. Hope these arrive safely Eileenx |
