I think spree participants should give organisers some time (eg. up to 3 days to respond/update) after which one can politely enquire via email rather than assume the worst by threatening to report to moderator/police etc.
Spree organisers also have their own commitments as pointed out by Jxmum and Leng Leng. Choose one which suits you better rather than expect all organisers to work in the same style and at the same pace.
It's very sad to read the recent mishaps (Jxmum, Leng Leng and Simplyle). EVERYONE MUST acknowledge the following:
(1) Shipping is subject to delay and waiting time varies (eg. DHL, Fedex, SingPost)
(2) Modes of orders also vary (Domestic+International, Direct shipping via?, vPost, Concierge etc)
(3) Merchant's shipping policies differ, some will ship a batch of orders out together while others are broken into a few shipments
(4) Working style and pace of organisers - some are full-time working mums while others stayhome etc
(5) Time, effort and nerves are spent for every spree so we must be grateful that these organisers are willing to accord energy to help us save through online purchases
(6) Delays due to domestic matters, being held up at work etc happens to all of us so waiting 2 to 3 days isn't too much if the organiser is really busy
I've only started joining sprees in late May 2011 but from browsing through this section, I've gathered the above information from reading up terms and conditions of organisers as well as those of merchants and various shippers.
Whatever it is, apply politeness and patience before jumping to conclusions. Or, read through the organisers' spree history before you wrongly assume the person has run away with your order/money. Spreeing seems so easy to the participants. Browse, load orders, pay, check for updates, topup and collect goodies. For the organiser, it's a lot more admin work and monitoring than one can imagine. Plus all the emails, smses and requests to follow up.
Please, please, let's all keep to objectivity and restrain before posting -ve remarks without checking thoroughly in case of misunderstanding.
I hope the good spree organisers will not feel disheartened. Let's also affirm our support for each other by being more encouraging and considerate.
You still have many mummies here who appreciate your efforts
