madison069 · Dec 9, 2013

I got my SS package boxed up and ready to be sent!

I'll be getting it to the post office today.

Sounds good. If anyone wants to pitch in just send me a PM. Like I mentioned, anyone that does I will keep a simple spreadsheet showing names of those who donated so I can send it out to anyone that wants it. If you do send money for this, please ensure you put your user name in the paypal gift payment so I can keep track of those who sent money.

I have an idea of what to do. I would like to get anybody wanting to chip in to do so before Dec 15th. Next Sunday, I will PM all members who have donated on my thought. I think it will be a good one.

If there is enough left over... get him a stripper :lol_hitti

madison069 · Dec 9, 2013

Mine is heading to my home state, too bad I couldn't put me in the box and ship me back to Texas! LOL

ckadams00 · Dec 9, 2013

Hey blackandwhitepit I didn't get in in time this year - been completely buried at work but I had a blast with this last year. If you have someone who pops up again this year as not receiving a present please let me know and I'd be happy to contribute. I remember there were a few last year who were left out.

-Brent- · Dec 9, 2013

MJB24 · Dec 10, 2013

Sent mine out priority for only $6.60

Worked out nice my SS was less than 40 miles away.

Cant believe no one has received theirs and put photos up yet.

I think since we only got our SS 10 days ago, it has only given everyone time to research and look for what we think our SS would like!

Atleast that's my story on why it took till yesterday to ship it. :lol_hitti

Travisnd · Dec 10, 2013

Here is my SS gift in front of the Christmas tree! So far, I've resisted the urge the open the gift before Christmas but now I really want to open it!! :willy_nil

fordzilla90 · Dec 10, 2013

Mine arrived yesturday. Pretty sure it's the SS gift. No markings, but I wasn't expecting anything else. Guess we'll have to find out on Christmas. Can't wait !

jabberwoki · Dec 10, 2013

kunkernator · Dec 11, 2013

I assume something German.

jabberwoki · Dec 11, 2013

Got mine today and this incense Cedar is the closes thing to a xmas

tree I`ve got.
And the best part so far was listening to the Korean lady postal worker try and pronounce Jabberwoki!!! Classic

Thanks Ihredo4

fordzilla90 · Dec 11, 2013

Sent mine out today, it's very convenient to have a post office at work.

Rawlins87 · Dec 11, 2013

I sent mine yesterday but this is my first participation should I pm my SS the tracking number? It should arrive tomorrow.

BFBOB · Dec 11, 2013

Sent mine day before yesterday! Hah!
I have a post office less than two miles away, but the dang thing doesn't open til 9:30.

Hey, for all of you who ship things (like, all of you), check into Regional Boxes. They can be a good deal cheaper than Flat Rate - rates change with the distance, calculated by zip code. A tad more complicated, but worth it.

CreteCoater · Dec 11, 2013

That wouldn't be very secret now would it......

split150 · Dec 11, 2013

I would only send a message once it shows delivered when you track it, and within a couple days of that date they haven't posted a picture showing it had arrived yet.

I had to do that last year, as my gift showed delivered and no word for days on the other end. Funny thing was, a family member picked up the package and put it under the tree with the other gifts and was trying to keep it a surprise. Guess I blew the surprise, but was glad it made it on time.

Outlander · Dec 11, 2013

Mrs Outlander is keeping guard over a lovely white box that arrived today. Even after asking politely, I was refused access!

FYI - mine was shipped out on Monday with expectations of US delivery in 4-6 days.

gonefirefighting · Dec 12, 2013

Estimated delivery: Dec. 13, 2013

madison069 · Dec 12, 2013

I got a tracking number for mine, but i lost the reciept! Hopefully it's in the bedroom....

maybe ?

jjjrmx5 · Dec 12, 2013

Mine went out and weighed over 10 lbs.

zkling · Dec 12, 2013

Received my gift yesterday and finished packing my out going gift today, will ship tomorrow. Not going far so shouldn't take long. The box I got is of good size and heft. No idea what's in it, but I'm excited, even gave it the shake test.

I have to hand it to my recipient. Their evasiveness to post pics or needs on this forum is a real head scratcher, hope they will like what I got them. :beer:

5. When you get your package, post a pic of it by the tree, upside down tree, menorah or what have you.

Opps, I better follow the rules

catsteve · Dec 12, 2013

Mine flew yesterday. express international.

good tree zkling
is that a railway track at the bottom?

OxJaw · Dec 12, 2013

Mine came in the mail today, I almost opened it, I didn't know who it was from and didn't see any markings to indicate Secret Santa and then I turned it over and saw garagejournal.com on it. I can't wait to open it. :bounce:

I'm still waiting on one item for my recipient, hopefully I can get it mailed out by Saturday.

Obligatory picture of the box by the tree.
