I really hope yorkoftheshire is doing alright! :( I hate when this happens...because I get so worried lol. I forget not everyone is glued to their phone every moment of every day during the GE :rolleyes:

I just noticed her profile says BANNED.What is going to happen?

Oh no, that's really strange. Something must have happened...she couldn't have been banned just for not posting, its not a requirement. Maybe she emailed admin and said she wouldn't be sending a box? :(

I want to help in whatever way possible, in any case...

Oh No, what is gong on ?

5. Shipping and Receiving - Please allow 1-2 weeks shipping time! If you are participating, we are putting all our trust on you to get your buddy's gift and to send it out on time so that your buddy on the other end and their Yorkie will not be waiting for their presents for too long! It is in your hands to ship it and since we are all trusting each other, please do not forget to ship it out! If you do not ship out your gift, you will be held responsible for it. Again, this is based on TRUST so if you believe that you may not be able to ship it out on time or that problems may arise, please let us know as soon as possible! If your buddy does not receive their gift for any reason, you may not participate in the next Secret Buddy Gift Exchange and there may be other consequences as well!


I wish we could find out who her SB was before the deadline / ship date. I really hate to see someone go without while watching everyone else enjoy the surprise.

I've emailed everyone 12 people have responded in hopes to help. So, just waiting to see how we can and get an address.

BANNED?? Don't see how they can be banned for this just yet... the deadline to send hasn't passed yet. And, really, the bare minimum is $40. That can be a $40 gift card.

Must be for another reason...

IDK . . and we may never know what or why all I know is that things happen and sometime life can take a turn in just a flash. Someone's SB will be waiting for something that may never arrive and that is so sad in more ways than one. We all sign up for this with the best of intentions I'm sure. Like we learned in the last GE in mine and Riana's situation, communication is a huge asset when is comes to keeping speculation down. True there is still time, the deadline has not passed but she has been MIA for over a month. It seems quit possible that she will not be sending any package or gift at all.

There is no doubt that her SB will have his or her paws full when it comes to mail call from multiple caring and loving YT members and SB+s who will gladly fill in.

Well, I guess the question now is......does her SB even send a box to her?

at this point, if I had her I would not be sending a box, I would save everything I could to use for the person that she had. I really think if her profile says banned that admin should step in and post here. Also since we know that everyone in the GE would never let the person that was stiffed be out surprises, I think they should let the people that want to help know who her SB NOW so the person does not have to wait till it is all over. Just my luck, during the first exchange Lola's buddy died and now my second one, one of the participants has been mysteriously banned:(

For me like with most of you the GE is about the giving and I am over the top excited with what I have bought and made, I put a ton of thought into it as well as money and that makes me very happy regardless of what Lola gets in return. But with that being said I think it would be nice if something was done sooner or later for YOTS's buddy and I think Admin owes it to let us know what is going on. I am PM'ing Anne and Admin now, it might not hurt if others did as well. Perhaps they could PM YOTS buddy and tell her YOTS had and she could send anything that was bought that would work.

Hello, please note that Yorkoftheshire's Secret Buddy WILL be receiving a box. We have contacted Yorkoftheshire through all available methods but have not heard back from her at all.

Great news, it is very sad that she could not fulfill her obligation but its good to know that her SB will be taken care of. Thank you for the update :)

Thanks Admin!

That is wonderful to hear that you are proactive. You all Rock!
