zianuraySo I can no longer locate the specific rules for the various "points" (if you have it, a link would be nice!).
I got a package a little while back where
1) Yes, there was a little bit extra in it -- but really poor quality notecards. The ink smeared over everything so they were unusable.
2) Mailed/postmarked a day or so AFTER the mail-by date (not a big deal in itself).
The date on the site said it was mailed three days before the deadline.
and 3) Postage due.
So I rated a 5, no heart.
And got a pouty reply that the late and the postage-due shouldn't have caused a markdown, she should have gotten a HEART b/c she sent an extra notecard.
Now, the rules I remember -- and correct me if I'm wrong -- late mailing is a 3.
And hearts are totally optional and at the discretion of the rater.
Am I being just too mean? Should I go back and add a heart just because she pouted?
I'm just wondering why I get stuff sent to me "postage due" (3x recently) -- when I get packages / letters sent BACK to me if I don't put enough on them (twice that I recall -- may have been more).
