| I have been more then Patient.. no gift I have debated making this thread....and since I have had many people ask me if I did indeed finally receive mariska's parcel from her buddie...I decided to make this thread to say, "NO" I realy enjoyed my part of the GE.. the shopping for two buddie's and the threads.. But after all this time and the last shipping date being the end of May.. I have come to the conclusion that there was never a parcel shipped out.. this is what was told to Admin but I would have had it by now if this was true...I believe many would have to agree with me.. Each week I say I will wait another week.. but how many weeks does this person get in grace.. I am a little upset at this stage and a lot disappointed... sure takes the fun away not only for myself... but for future exchanges. It is now time for me to be leaving for the Big meet up in Virginia. I was told a few weeks ago the parcel was shipped.. if it was indeed shipped I would have had it since it was also being shipped right here in Canada.. I have been patient really, disappointed yes!~~~~ But I just sit and watch the weeks go by with nothing !!!!! I just do not know what to think.. I have really tried to keep a positive attitude.. but now.. I am not even sure what I feel or how I feel... anne |

| Big Hugs to you Anne Oh Anne, I'm so sorry...this must really suck! I did some snooping & Mariska's SB's mommy is currently suspended. Her last activity on YT was: 06-30-2009 @ 9:48AM. I don't understand why someone would do this. I was also wondering who had her? Was there someone who was missing a Thank You from her? She must've received gifts from her SB.

| Anne -- so sorry to hear that you still have not received a gift. I had pm'd Admin a couple of times and each time they replied that a gift was being sent from your SB. So I think your SB keeps leading them along with empty promises. I think maybe a time limit needs to be added to Rule #10 of the GE! Wish I had thought of this when they were asking for input. It says: 10. Not Receiving a Gift - If you have not received your gift after 2 weeks of the posted deadline (deadline was end of May for this one), please PM us to let us know. There will be action taken. It is not fair to you if you have sent out a gift and did not receive one in return. YorkieTalk guarantees that you will get a Gift per Gift Exchange as long as you follow the rules. Every single participant in every single YT Gift Exchange thus far has received a gift. Please do not complain about not receiving a gift in any threads until after two weeks of the deadline. Remember that YorkieTalk guarantees you will get a gift if you participate so please be patient. So, 2 weeks after the deadline, you made it clear you had not gotten a gift. How long does Admin have to get you a gift? I guess maybe a month for Admin too is about right, if you think about it. So, maybe it is about to be taken care of now. I know there have been multiple offers to get you a replacement gift. I think it needs to be taken care of BEFORE another GE is started. You have been more than patient. More than a full month worth of patient after the deadline and an acceptable mailing time. Almost two months after many had started receiving gifts. The Consequences section of the rules also needs to go into affect (and should also have deadlines). Your SB has only been suspended. It seems clear she is not sending a gift. If she is also one of the ones that did not list a thank you, then she needs to be banned on two counts. The Consequences are unclear in one part saying "may be banned" but emphatic in another saying "will be banned" for not sending a gift. Not sending a thank you gets a suspension or banning. "12. Consequences - We want to keep the fairness in this Gift Exchange and we want everyone to have fun! It is not fair to send a gift and not receive one without any actions taken against the participant that decided not to send a gift. If you do not send out a gift, you may be banned from YorkieTalk forever with a note in their user title stating the reason they are banned. We do not want this to happen to anyone and that is why we stress that you contact us as soon as possible if anything occurs which prevents you from sending out a gift. If members ship their gifts out substantially late and without reason or warning or notice to us, their accounts will be suspended for two weeks and they will not be eligible to participate in the next Gift Exchange. If members do not post "Thank You" threads, their accounts will be suspended or banned and they will no longer be able to participate in any future Gift Exchanges. Again, please let us know as soon as you can if you are unable to send out the gift by the deadline. We will work with all members involved and notify your Secret Buddy for you if we know. If you do not send a gift, you (and any immediate family members in your household) will be BANNED from YorkieTalk and from participating in any future YorkieTalk Gift Exchanges. " I think it was a credit to Yorkietalk, that this is the only problem left from the GE. Everyone else received a gift! So, Admin is running a pretty smooth operation! Just might need to fine tune the time lines for when things do not go right. Hardly fair for another GE to start signups when there is someone still without a gift, IMO. It is incomprehensible to me how someone could do this. Take a gift from someone here, and not send one out. How low can you go? One person can really mess things up for the whole GE, leaving a sour note on an otherwise fun and enjoyable event!

| I am not in the gift exchange or a donating member at this time. I hope to be real soon, But I think it stinks not to get a gift in exchange. I don't know why someone would be so low as to accept a gift and not send one back. I agree packages could get lost but if it were me after all this time I would pack up another gift and send it with my deepest apologies and then try to find out what happen via the post office or ups whatever. It is just common courtesy. I want to be in the next gift exchange it really does sound like fun. I will join this weekend. I hope you get some satisfaction and your babies get their gift.!!

| Oh Anne, I'm so sorry this has happened. You were Gracie Ruth's SB and you made her first GE so very special. We loved everything you sent and she is still enjoying the cute dresses, bows and toys, although both brothers have confiscated toys for themselves. Brothers, whaddya gonna do with 'em?

| I would be most willing to help with sending a new box to your little girl. Please let me know how I can help. Did annamalyssa ever get a thank you thread? If not, is it the same person who hasn't sent out a gift? If so, my vote is for banning. That is just not fair! |

Administrator | We can only go by what mypreciouspups original Secret Buddy told us, which was she sent off a package last week. She did not provide a tracking number when we asked for one. So we have waited this past week, believing she did indeed send a package. If mypreciouspups does not get a package within two days (before she leaves), we will arrange for a replacement Secret Buddy. That Secret Buddy will be informed when mypreciouspups returns from her trip, and a package will be sent to her after she returns. YorkieTalk does guarantee each participant will get a gift and we will make good on that, as each and every participant in every Gift Exchange has gotten a gift thus far. |
