Thank you very much for this post it helped alot.
should movie passes be treated like a gift card would or not?
Great info, thanks. Now if I can figure out how to post my coupons I have for trade before they expire I will be all set.
when you trade a MIR form , do I ask the other person to send a SASE along with the trading coupon or does the other person just send the coupon and I have to mail out the MIR form and handle the postage for it? Can someone please clarify..I need to know urgently!
Well I would think that if they are sending you something in exchange, then they have to pay for postage too, so why would you ask her to send a SASE?
I think a SASE would only be asked for if they are sending you nothing in return...
I have heard that some people do this. They may have MIRs and ask for SASEs when the SASE arrives they send the MIR off to the other person.
I see you are new so you may not know yet how wonderful many SCers are, personally I RAOK MIRs to friends on SC and others.. The generosity will come back to you, it will.
And I understand I don't have much money either, but I try to be as generous as I am able.
Good luck with your trades.

Just a reminder to everyone (especially newbies) to make sure the person you are trading with has an excellent trade rating BEFORE you trade!!!
I "traded" with someone over two months ago, sent out my end and never received theirs. I pm'd repeatedly and finally got a reply with the other trader promising to send out a replacement. Well... its over two months and I STILL don't have the intial trade OR the replacement trade.
I have given this person a negative trade rating and that is why I'm posting here.
PLEASE check each persons trade rating and the "blacklist" thread before agreeing to a trade. The person I traded with isn't a newbie and continues to post and log on to SC so obviously some traders have no conscience. Remember, just because someone isn't on the "blacklist" doesn't mean they are a trustworthy trader.
The blacklist thread is here, http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/103028-...cklist-canada/

Happy Trading everyone!!:top:
Thanks you for posting this. i usually check but lately I have been forgetting. Better get on top of that again lol. Thanks for the reminder!!!!!
Thanks for this! I have only done trades with the fine ladies in my hometown so far and wasn't sure how it all worked on here. Much appreciated! :)
:top:
i hear you i am a newbie and i am still waiting for my trade with someone. I sent out my end but it has been 3 weeks and all that they said was oh i forgot and it will be in the mail tomarrow.
Have you posted on the blacklist thread? If not, it might be time to do that.Quote:

Bumping this so everyone sees it.
The person I "traded" with continues to log on to SC and post. Its been over 21/2 months since the initial trade. I've left her a negative rating, pm'd her a bunch of times, left messages on her profile, posted to the negative trade thread and STILL nothing.
PLEASE everyone, check a potential traders rating BEFORE you trade, people like me leave negative ratings to protect others from being scammed.
Can someone please tell me what one brandsaver insert would be worth in SDM points?
Thanks for the suggestion.
It happened to me too. She had a very good trade rating before. I don't know what else I can do. I gave her negative rating since she ignores both private messages and visitor messages for months.Quote:

I never check the trade rating for the person doing a trade. And I have lots that I didn't receive over 2 - 3 months, I don't let them a bad rate trading, that happened to me with three persons until now, I send my envelopes and they don't reach the other person after months and half or two months, but the other person write me told me what happened and I got other similar envy to the person, they usually got the sencond envy before the first envy. Don't forget that CANADA POST is in strike and they usually loosing most of the normal envies on the way....
Thanks.
Canada Post may be slower because of the rolling strikes and work reductions (though, to be honest, I haven't noticed anything slow at all in the past 2 weeks during all the strike nonsense. What I do notice is that small packages are being left at the post office to be picked up, which NEVER happens normally because our office signs for them.) They haven't stopped completely. There isn't a nationwide strike yet. And I highly doubt they are losing most of the regular mail.
In the many, many, many years I've been mailing stuff nationwide, selling on eBay and esty, shipping all across Canada and the US - everything from packages to envelopes and cards - I can count on one hand the number of times something went missing. And usually it was just really delayed. Maybe ended up in the neighbours address. Maybe had the wrong postal code, or short on postage. It's happened twice with something I've sent out - maybe 3 or 4 for stuff I've been receiving (so I can't actually verify it was sent at all!) It's not commonplace, and there's no reason to think it will be.
Not leaving bad feedback for a 3 month old transaction that went bad isn't a good thing either. Maybe you don't want to tarnish someone's reputation, sure. But what about those people who are going to proceed to trade with someone, only to get screwed by them as well? You may have a great stockpile of coupons that you don't care about one or two - but some people are carefully working with limited trade lists to get what they need. Losing out by sending a dozen coupons and getting nothing in return isn't right, and shouldn't be happening. Feedback gives people the information they need to make and informed decision or take a calculated risk, if that's what they decide.
It wouldn't hurt for people to check the Blacklist once in a while to familiarize themselves with the usernames and addresses on it.

thanks.
It might be lost, it might not. You never can know for sure. If people don't follow up on e-mails etc. though, it's a pretty good indication.
I believe in benefit of the doubt and giving a fair chance. But if months pass? Without a really good reason or attempt to rectify I think it's worth a negative.
Definitely communication is the key, Canada Post do lose envelopes even when they are not striking, and they can be slow. An honest trader will say give it a few days/weeks (dependent on how long, I had one trader threaten to leave me a neg after a week because CP says 2 days in province and then it showed the next day and she apologised) a bad trader will just keep giving excuses or ignore you all together
thanks for the reminder. I check the blacklist once in a while but I've finally added it to my subscriptions.
If I traded with someone, never received my envie after a few weeks and they weren't answering my pm's, i would definetly leave them a negative rating! What do they have to hide if they actually sent it. If by chance i received their envie a couple of months later, i would ask one of the mods to change the rating... if that's even possible!
It is possible for the trading mod to change ratings
