Mine has arrived.
No sign of my victim having received despite having been delivered over a week ago.

Look back a week ago!

OK I got swamped yesterday and was not able to catch up on PM's I'm all caught up now (I hope!) so if you were expecting a response and I didn't please re-ping me!

Keeping up the "score card" has been a bit crazy tthe past couple of days!

Recieved my gift today. Sorry, but no tree. With the weeks of nutcracker performances and lighting holiday parties I'm not really in the mood to decorate at the house.

I understand the mood, I work for UPS, been putting in 14-18 hour days (nights actually) since December 1st to make sure everyone gets their gifs. I get a bah humbug mood for awhile. God love my wife, she has been hold down the fort, we are all missing each other. Merry Christmas! Hope the mood gets better.

Heard the knock on the door from the UPS guy from the garage on the other side of the house and scrambled for the door. Can't wait to open it!

 

[casmurbax]

Received mine today. I will post pic tomorrow.

As promised.

Thank you to my GJSS.

 

[Farmall450]

Already on the bus.

Thank you sir!

Package 2/2 has shipped {it was made to order so it took a bit longer}.

Hopefully also bearing 'GJSS'...1/1 was delivered the 18th

 

[rjohnson]

It is here. Thanks Santa!

 

[ChargedUp!]

Got mine yesterday! It’s under the tree now. I look forward to opening it soon!

 

[WagonHo!]

Ups showed proof of delivery yesterday at the back door, wonder if he hasn’t found it. OR busted it open and didn’t like the socks and underwear he got. Anyway hasn’t posted as been received.
Nothing nada yet for this Mama’s baby.

 

[BFBOB]

LOL, I was gonna say I was surprised to see only one person posted a wrapped gift, but knowing somewhere between 95% and 100% of participants are guys, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise.

SWMBO made me do it.

 

[casmurbax]

Of course there could be wrapped gift(s) inside the plain jane shipping boxes.

GJSS, thanks for keeping us all in the loop, and orchestrating this exchange...I know I've been a pain for you this year, and hope that others have been more "fire and forget."

Merry Christmas!

 

[Oggy]

My gift arrived today, I had to tell the (4yr old) puppy we had to wait to open it though...

There would have to be an indication on the shipping box that a wrapped gift was inside so it was safe to open.

 

[protegeV]

My secret santa is the BEST. I just received a SECOND package!!!!!

 

[holland_patrick]

Well I’m all set my SS posted he got it

 

[trackwelder]

My victims gift shows delivered yesterday. Hopefully everything goes good this year. Thanks to everybody that’s make this happen

 

[4 FN 27]

Well I left work today a tad early. UPS delivered, Fed-Ex delivered, Speedy delivered and the Post Office delivered...thus it will be Wednesday before I see if I got Scrooge'ed or not...

Merry Christmas to all the GJ folks!!!

 

[Beerman]

Received mine yesterday.

Sent mine out last week-should have arrived by this past Monday, at the latest.

Anyone ship through ups getting delays in the southern states? Probably should have used USPS. Hope it gets there on time.

I have really good luck with USPS flat rate boxes as long the items fit in them..
Usually cheaper and faster than using Fedex or UPS.

Tracking says my package was delivered to my victim's front door yesterday, but no word from him yet in this thread. Hope he got it and the package thieves didn't, you never know in this world anymore.

Finally getting around to posting a picture under the Charlie Brown tree. I've shaken it several times and still have no clue what's inside lol

Plus labels can be printed at home. You can even have the free empty boxes delivered to your door at no charge.
