Here we go! Swaps in the time of COVID. How are you all doing?
We are expecting a fairly normal swaps season, with a few caveats:
1) International mailing: if you like to swap internationally, that's great! But a lot of countries are not currently shipping to certain locations. So, if you are not in the US or UK, it may be wise to double-check your country's postal restrictions and remind us if, for example, you are in Norway and therefore cannot mail to Australia this year. (We are also looking these things up, but we are fallible!)
2) Postal delays: we always expect delays due to holidays, but we expect them extra in 2020. Therefore we advise against shipping anything that could go stale (e.g. homemade baked goods) this year.
3) Checking in ON TIME: in the interest of getting all packages and pinch-hits out efficiently, all swappers MUST check in on Swaps Central by the end of the last sending day (this year that's Saturday, November 14), unless they have requested an extension.
Please note, we generally grant small extensions without penalty (we know people are busy, and our sending period is short), so we strongly encourage you to ask rather than risk being late. If you are very tardy and/or difficult to communicate with, you may be barred from one or more swaps in the future.
( 2020 SCHEDULE! REMINDERS! SIGN-UPS! )
