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

This is what I did. USPS is on the ball; The package arrived at the local PO this AM. It probably missed the reg carrier, but I think they also have package carriers this time of year? So it may make it today, certainly by Monday! :thumbup:

my package showed up sometime early this afternoon from Kansas! thanks Santa!

according to my victims tracking number their package showed up at their front door right around the same time!

on another note, I was reading elsewhere about people posting photos that had geo info or something attached to them allowing people to see where they were taken. and something about apps you can use to strip this information. I have a MacBook and want to upload my photo of gift by tree and then opened on Christmas but don't need my gps coordinates out there for the word to easily see. can anyone please recommend an app I could use to delete that info. thanks in advance and thanks to my Kansas Santa, can't wait to see what's in that box!

It is possible. The camera/phone records what is call exif data. Things like the time and date, camera settings, and if the camera has gps then it will record location. To remove that you can get a program that removes that exif data. Also some photo sharing sites like imgur remove that data when you upload an image there. Then just share that link here, or download the new image and upload it here.

I was hoping for more of a challenge in figuring out who my SS was. There are two key points that have clued me in to exactly who it is, location being one of them. Cane wait to open my giftS. ;) :D

Received an unexpected package from amazon a couple days ago that appears to be marked gift inside. Must be from my secret Santa.

My GJSS gift showed up today.
Now the real frustration starts for me every time I walk by that package.....like a little kid wishing I could open just one gift early but momma would kill me!

Thank you GJSSantas for getting this all together.

Merry Christmas All

Mine showed up today. No tree at our house this year so I took the liberty of making a tree out of metalcast for the pic. :D

I’ll be opening mine when I return from vacation, so I can’t get a picture until the 31st! Hopefully my SS understands!

Here it is under the 🎄. Looking forward to the big reveal two days hence.
For logistical reasons we celebrate on Christmas Eve.

Glad to see my victim got his!

Finally uploading pictures and status. I'm sorry to my recipient, it's due to arrive on the 26th and I hope you enjoy it.

Fat cat decided to show up as well.

Location is an easy tip if given. Mine came from the same town as another year's SS (but I am sure it's a different individual). So just from the label on the box I think I know who it's from. :beer: To be possibly confirmed on December 25th!

Hey guys, I'm away from the house until Christmas day, and still haven't received my package, whoever my secret Santa is, just giving you an update.
