So what happens if you don't get your SB box??
 

I am actually getting nervous for Denzel's SB since we haven't heard anything from his mom since November....I'm afraid something may have happened to them :(

What happens if their sb doesn't get a box.....are we able to send them a ge box to replace it?? I would be willing to send a box of goodies to the sb if necessary.

Not trying to alarm anyone, but just wondering. If anyone knows the answer (well I am sure admin does), I would love to know.

Do you have tracking information? That should tell you whether or not your package was delivered.

Maybe Denzels mom is just busy with Christmas and everything, Im sure they have sent out their box and are just waiting for it to get to their buddy's house.
Well I hope so anyway... I hope Denzel and his mom are okay and nothing bad has happend. :(
I think if a buddy dosn't get their box then maybe YT sends them a box? Im not sure I think I read that somewhere, Admin said that nobody will be left out.
But im sure Denzel's mom is just busy with the holidays. :)

If you check the rules, you must send your package with a shipping service that provides tracking information.

Your SB is required to post a thank you thread with a couple of pictures.

If you know your SB got her gift, but didn't respond, you should contact the Admin.

These are great rules IMO. I stopped participating in the gift exchange on another forum when I never got even a pm of thanks year after year. It's discouraging to put a lot of time and effort into your gifts and not have them acknowledged.

as the remaining buddy that is probably going to get left out this round, what teacup is trying to say is the member Nesha, Denzel's mom has not been online once time since Nov. 25 after thanking someone for receiving HER gift so we don't know whether she is going to actually send a gift or not or has just completely disappeared off the face of the earth. we don't know if something bad happened or if she dine and dashed (sorry to think the worst but working with people has brought out the worst in my trusting people).

anyways i've been PMed by admin so i think it's going to be fine and don't worry about me everyone i'm more than ok right now. i've come to terms a long long time ago that Sadie is prob. the dog that won't get something this year. i prob. won't do GE again for a long time if ever. there is not a good way to hold someone accountable for their GE box and there's nothing stopping someone from getting their gift and leaving YT forever :thumbdown maybe in the future we make them deposit money to admin that they get back after doing it right that way if something like this happens admin has the funds to replace the gift not sent. or maybe require a phone number that admin can "check in" on the missing person.

anyways this is prob. my last GE because unfortunately bad things happen and you have no way of knowing what did happen and bad people also come on and take advantage of giving and good people.

... I would be happy to send something to you! I dont want you to be left out of a gift exchange and have it leave a sour taste in your mouth. Please PM me if there is any way I can be of help to you! I would sincerely like to! After having my hopes set on getting a puppy, and have it taken away at the 11th hour, I know how it feels to be let down. So, please, I would love to help you and make myself feel a little better.

I know you must be disappointed, please try not to be though. I've seen it happen before that someone does not send out a gift, but usually there is a good ending.....many generous members on this site that would not want anyone to be with out a gift in a GE.:)

So sorry to hear about this Rachel. That must really suck! I thought I had read that she was out shopping for her SB. Didn't she also say something about having to deal with a family issue? I'm not making excuses for her, just saying what I remember seeing. I've yet to participate in a GE, but I'm willing to send Sadie a little something to brighten up her Xmas. :)

Im so sorry Rachel, I really hope that Denzel's mom is just busy at the moment because if not then that is reall sad. :(
The gift exchange is great and fun for everyone, I dont understand why anyone would want to ruin that for the mom's and the furbabies. So hopefully there is a good reason.
I hope you do take part in other GE's! I would love to have you as a SB!
I dont have any money right now as I dont get paid until wednesday but I would be more then happy to buy something from a YT vendor and have it sent out to you! I think it would be a great idea if we all chipped in and got Sadie something special. There is no way we can have her being left out especially at Christmas time!

While i have a wonderful SB ;), i know when it gets down to the last few things start running threw your mind of the "what if". It is heart breaking that someone would leave someone without, especially when you have put your heart into the gift you have sent. i have taken part in 3 Ges, and most of them turn out Great for those involved, however 2 of the 3 i have taken part in, someone didnt send out a gift. i dont know if a phone # included would help as part of the sign up-since they probablly wouldnt answer the phone, but possibly a refundable deposit would work. Or making it where you have to be a member for a longer period before signing up. Since its really easy to rack up 'X' amount of post on no time just to enter the ge. If there willing to be a member for say 6 months? before they can enter- then maybe they would be more honest when signing up for the GE? i know that it would make it hard to those that want to sign up right away, and hopefully it wouldnt discourage anyone. but if you like the site then you wont leave if your heart was in the right place to begin with. Sorry just my 2 cents, and dont mean to offend anyone.

Rachel, I'm so sorry. Don't be discouraged for future GEs. I'm sure things will work out ;)

Rachel is Sadie the only doggy that didn't get a box? I'm sorry I've lost track of who get a box about a week ago. :( Plus I know that you really thought that Doodlebug was Sadie's SB.

What has ADMIN said about the box? Keep us posted and I'm sure that Sadie will not be left out. That really stinks if your SB doesn't follow through. So don't get all pouty just yet~everything will be just fine. :hug:

Rachel I am so sorry you didn't receive your GE. I was Denzel's secret buddy and when i sent the box it was rec'd but Nesha didn't post. I contated admin after a week, she was contacted and posted saying she had a family emergency out of town, I hope everything is ok with her and Admin can find out what's going on.

Maybe that is the reason why she hasnt been able to send it out just yet, I hope so anyway.
Hopefully she will be able to get online soon and explain. If not I still think it would be nice if we all chipped in and bought Sadie some gifts, once I get paid on wednesday I would be more then happy to help. :)

Sent you a PM
