Important - READ!

*fingers crossed* that you get this all figured out.  Don't have any real suggestions...other than to put what you have posted here...in an email to all the people you have registered in the program. Then ask that we email you back with our username...and who we think we are supposed to be sending to...then you can check us off the list? 

the persone who sends to me has been very good to me...and my person has been happy with her gifts so far...infact i have her march box ready to send out tomorrow.... i don't want to change...i like my people.....*pouts* tell me it ain't so..... Ruth Ann

I have to agree that mine has been very good to me too. And the one I send to has loved her gifts. I don't want to trade either of mine. I have my gift ready to send out and was going to do so this morning. I hate not being able to send it to her. I was looking forward to hearing how much she enjoys it. I hope you get this all sorted out soon, but I too will wait.

Oh goodness, Anissa.  I am so sorry you are having this difficulty.  I will not send my March box out until I hear otherwise.  I wish I had some suggestions but I can say my person has been timely each month and I am truly enjoying this.

That's is pretty bad. I really enjoy the program and I love the gifts I have received.  My secret pal has been enjoying the gifts as well.  I hope something can be done, I'd to to stop altogether.

I think this post was a little late. I had already sent my March gift and I do not think that would be fair for some to not receive anything for this month. I feel if you were having this issue that a post should have been made at the end of Feb to not send March's gift. It is bad enough that my secret pal (the one I send to) take forever to let me know that the gift arrived or even better yet does not correspond with me, I still made it a point to send the gift each and every month.  I just think it is not right to say do not send March's gift on 3/6.

Yeah.. got this post in the other thread, no need to post it multiple times. Read my reply there. It was also posted in the program guideline that you 'should' have read before sending in your questionnaire, that gifts should be sent out on or by the 15th. Posting on the 6th gives everyone over a week before gifts are to go out, to either not buy and ship one, or to return it to the store if it was already purchased. And I agree.. its NOT fair that some wont receive their gift, but this is an ongoing problem that has NOTHING to do with how Ive run this program. I put a stop to March's gifts because its also not fair that SOME people receive nothing, and SOME people are receiving 2 or more gifts a month, because SOME people cant follow simple guidelines. I am sorry if getting this notice out 'late' upsets you, but I put it out as soon as I could.

I truly inderstand. It is what it is. And yes I did read that gifts should be sent out "On or by the 15th". That is what I did. I sent my gift by the 15th and did so each month.

I had headed a Secret Pal Program through my school the last 4 years....It had one year where something like this had happened. I had, had people who were sending to their old pal from the year before...I figured it out like this....(just a suggestion) They each emailed me their name,email,and whom they were sending their gift too...I found 8 of the 35 people who were still sending to the old pals and reassigned them to each other...The email thing was a little tedious but if they only put that short amount of info on the email it went pretty quick to figure out whom was sending to whom...(just a suggestion)....I really enjoy this program and whom ever had me i love reciving the cards and my first gift...I also have talked with my pal...whom ones one whos old pal started to send her gifts and we've worked out alot...

Anissa, I am so sorry that things are not going well.  You have done a wonderful job.  I normally do not come to the board but maybe once or twice a week.  I know that I should check it more often, and I have no excuse.  However, I will go ahead and send the gift I had purchased for my pal.  I enjoy this and I enjoy going out and purchasing a gift.   Unless you tell us different, I will continue to send the gifts to my s/p.  She seems so sweet and I get a kick out of doing this.  I hope things get better and i hope you do not have to end this.  I do appreciate you and all of your hard work.   Carmen
