So, as you can see from my previous posts...I was SUPER excited to participate in the Valentine's Day Box Giveaway.
Why haven't you seen my post about what I received you ask?
Oh...because I NEVER got a box from my partner.
Lovely right?
Finally at my wits end...super disappointed and pretty frustrated.
I've tried contacting the girl numerous times...emails, commented on her blog posts etc.
Her last post being, sorry I've been MIA...but only to list reasons that wouldn't keep her from a post office.
She's so lucky to have received a really exciting box from me though.
I'm so glad I took the time to participate and send one off in the allotted time only to get SCREWED and not get one back.
I'm hoping the next one I am participating in...the Mug Swap doesn't have the same result.
I thought us bloggers were supposed to stick together and be nice to each other?
Unanswered emails, unanswered blog post comments...maybe I'll eventually hear back.
Until then..you bet you ass I'm going to keep trying because I think that's pretty crappy to do to someone.
How about DON'T sign up for something if you're just going to scam someone so blatantly.
RANT OVER.
Ready to turn this day around! :)
Oh no - so sorry to hear that...well at least you know her name now so you can look out for anything she's participating in!!
ReplyDeleteYeah...that's true. Just upsets me because I was so excited about it. It's irritating.
DeleteDon't worry - it won't....I'm your mug swap buddy...and I am really looking forward to this!!!! (BTW I've been screwed before too when I participated in a beauty swap...so I know how sucky it is...)...anyhoo...I'm going to send you an email shortly...looking forward to connecting!
ReplyDeleteAw yay!! :) So excited to hear from you! This definitely makes my day better! Look forward to hearing from you!
Deleteok - just finally got a chance to send something off to ya - so make sure to check your inbox for me :)
DeleteI've had this happen before as well! It's so frustrating! Maybe it got lost in the mail. I know our mail man sucks lately. I hope it shows up for you.
ReplyDeleteWho knows...it definitely could have. But, that doesn't answer the fact she hasn't responded to ANY of my emails or the posts I've commented on her blog. They weren't ugly at all either. Just saying hey did you get a chance to send out the box.
DeleteI am so sorry that happened to you - unfortunately, you aren't the first person to experience this though. Rest assured, if you ever get me as a partner, I'll send you something! :)
ReplyDeleteUndeniably, me
Thanks Elizabeth! I appreciate it! Makes me sad...I feel like bloggers should support one another not take advantage of each other. I'm sure she has had bad weather where she is too...but the not answering emails etc...it's just not right.
DeleteThat really sucks!! :( I'm sorry!!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl!
Deleteomg omg omg. i'm just dying to know who this person is??!! let's think logically. when was she supposed to get it to you? if the deadline was the 14th then she's less than a week late, right? i say give her a few more days. like…until monday. i would say spill her name in a blog post, but that would certainly boost traffic her way so that's no good, right? girl…i'm sorry. this is a sucky situation for sure.
ReplyDeleteThey were supposed to be sent out by February 2nd. As stated in the rules to assure they would be here well before Valentine's Day so that everyone could do their post on Valentine's. I don't want to put her on blast though because I'm just not that kind of person. I just hope she sees this and realizes what she did wasn't nice at all.
DeleteI've had this happen to me. I was so bummed out that I've never participated in a blogger swap again. It was the same thing: she ignored my emails, my comments, everything. She wrote a post one day that she was on vacation. But, she had plenty of time to mail me a package before she left. Or when she got back. Nothing came though and even months later, when I tried emailing her again, she still didn't respond. I reported her to the person who held the swap so she would be "black listed." It's such a let down!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it make you feel bad? I mean I took the time and money to go get her things and made it a priority. I'm a busy girl so it's definitely frustrating that I did stuff for her and spent money that could have gone elsewhere. I emailed the host of the giveaway and haven't heard back from her just yet..but, I hope she does get blacklisted and doesn't get to participate in anymore of them. She makes youtube videos and things too..how do you expect to get a good following when you do stuff like this?
DeleteOh wow that is awful!!!! =(
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a mug swap now too! They are my favorite! I'm sorry you had a bad experience :(
ReplyDeleteDamn.... this was why my hubby didn't let me participate. He knows I go all out for people and knew I was going to get screwed or get some suppper lame gift. But I signed up for the Mug Swap hoping that it will be different. I am crossing my fingers that we got good partners. If they turn out to be fuddy duddy's, want to have our mug swap? I'm in :) Hopefully we get good partners though! :)

Well your hubby was right...I am so upset about it and the fact she's posted on her blog a few times since then pisses me off. I'm considering getting on her youtube videos and calling her out there because emailing and commenting on her blog apparently doesn't help.
DeleteAbout to put her on blast as well so hopefully she will get black listed from EVER doing anything else again. Just so not right.
