Maybe that's a bit harsh.....

I see where you're coming from, but there are a few of us who have sent packages but it isn't known whether the person we were sending them to received them or not. It's pretty unfortunate that we'd be left out of something like this. There's no way to know whether someone has actually sent something and it got lost or just hasn't arrived yet (which I'm sure it is with everyone that's said this), or if they're just saying they did and 'oh well, must have got lost'.
I think this one being a smaller swap is a good idea, so we don't feel pressured to send a million things. Then if this one goes off without a hitch we can look at something more like the first one.
Oooh, also, I'd love to send cards out to different people, but it seems like that would be hard to organise.

| i dont think it would be too hard to organise, no. A little complicated but I'll work it out! If we work out how many people we get then people get a certain amount depending on what they and other people are willing to send.
should be ok :]

| Awesome! I love sending out Christmas Cards (despite being athiest, I love 'em) and would totally be willing to do 3 or whatever.
And Nath, my parents have owned two courier businesses, and I can safely say there isn't really a whole lot you can do about it. It's a total rarity when things do get lost, and very few people that work in that industry are dodgy- if it happens more than once, the person is almost always caught. Most of the time it actually does just get lost; especially if you put it in a post box instead of going into the post office.

| If we're just gonna do the card thing then I should be able to do that. It would be a lot easier for me to do than a package one because my mom wouldn't have to even know and get all bitchy/suspicious about it!
