ZAPPED! ZAPping Etiquette
Completely agree! I always enjoy reading 'I got zapped!' posts here on the boards, but people I zap rarely post them! *lol* That's not why I zap people, but it is fun to read and see their reactionbut I agree at least a PM saying thank you is always appreciated!! At least so you know the person received it!!
Oh, you spelled Etiquette wrong... and on the title... embarrassing :facepalm::rofl:
:rofl:Yeah that spill chick can be a pain... :lol:

It can be anything. Someone once zapped me with candy from their country, and it's amazing lol.Still getting familiar with zaps. So are they just pins or can they be other items like dolls and stuff!
I have been on both ends. I received a lovely zap from a wonderful member here, and I put the pin aside because I was in no mood to post. I did not even take 5 seconds to send a PM either. It took me a long time to finally post a belated zap thread here. Of course I made sure to apologize in style
But, at the other end: I get worried if a package was received or not. I have little faith in DC. I had several cases where the DC# did not get scanned in at mailing time either because the p.o. clerk ignored it, or maybe because I taped over it. And then I keep biting my finger nails until I see the arrival scan at the recipient's end.
The other option is even worse: We all have seen items showing as "delivered", but they might be delivered to a wrong address or they might be stolen from door steps, mail boxes, etc. So, when I send a zap alone, not attached to any trade, I get relieved to know that it was received safely. If the zap goes along with a trade, then I know when they receive and leave me feedback.
My pet peeve: I send a zap along with a trade or purchase, and the trading partner does not even bother to leave feedback.
Hi everybody :wavey:
I just had a question by a very nice member asking me about something that seems like it should be obvious. If somebody takes the time and effort to zap you, the very least you should do is send them a thank you pm. I know life gets in the way and even I have neglected this on occasion. But it is not a good feeling knowing you sent something to somebody and they couldn't take a few minutes to say thank you.
For me getting a zap always feels great. At least you should let the person know you appreciate the fact they thought of you.
You should also acknowledge zaps that are mysteries. It doesn't take that long to do a post here.
Zapping is a fun thing to be part of on both sides, but only if the person who receives it let's you know that you received it and appreciate the thought!!!
Please do your part if you are lucky enough to receive a zap!!!
Okay now it is time to get off of my soapbox. :soapbox:
Carry on. :hs:
