I once waited months (like 3 at least) for my art swap from VanTiki and it was well worth the wait, a fun surprise.
Definitely not worth making enemies over. =D

I had an art swapper long ago who demanded I take photos of the art swap he sent to me with me wearing it. This was after I took several photos of it and posted them.

I hadn't ever had photos taken of items I sent in several art swaps/mug swaps and I had no problem with it. However, after I failed to post pix of said item on my person, this swapper insulted my art and me publicly on TC, later deleting the insult....

I have never enjoyed the item because of this person's behavior and never will. It ruined the swap for me. I thought of sending it back because I knew the sender obviously did not want me to have it, but I feared insulting them.... So there it sits gathering dust, because it is a nice item and I don't want to throw it out, but I fear giving it away on TC will bring more rage.

Publicly posting about little grievances just isn't worth the grief and the bad karma it attaches to the items when they arrive.

Just my 2 cents.
