After many delays mine finally got shipped out today. It should arrive before Christmas. I haven't received mine yet but I got a message from my SS that it should be here before Christmas! I can't wait! :)

All,

Just another friendly reminder to:

1. Post here that you have received your Secret Santa gift. This lets the sender know that it made it safe and sound.

2. If your gift will not make it to your Secret Santa by Christmas, please send me a PM so I can let the member know to expect it a little late.

Cheers,

-BWP



I apologize to my Secret Santa for not posting up sooner. I thought i was supposed to wait until Christmas to post. Apparently my wife is right: I **** at Christmas!!!!! :p


I did track my outbound package, so i know the recipient received it. He was a tough one!!!! :willy_nil

My recipient received his yesterday according to the tracking but no post yet. Hope he likes it! Still waiting on mine. my SS got a message to me through blacknwhitepit that it may come in just under the wire or it may be a day or so after Xmas. He sent it in plenty of time though due to our wonderful customs "black hole" , unexpected delays may occur. Doesn't bother me one bit! I'm used to mail delays and it's always cool to have a giftie to open throughout the holidays!

Sent mine a week ago today via USPS priority mail, but haven't seen confirmation here that it made it there yet. Coast to coast though, so 5-6 days is expected.

Received my secret santa gift today, I know it will be a relief for my secret santa as I think he was worried it may not make it.

Jeremy

I was finally able to track my package. You gotta love the freakin' geniuses at the USPS.

I mailed the package on 12/6 by International Priority Mail to Canada. I live near St. Augustine, FL.

The package arrived yesterday....in Miami...350 miles south, and it still has to get to Canada. I think someone's geography is off.

I PM'd my recipient with the tracking information.

My shipping dept. is royally pissed off. Literally and figuratively.

I received mine today and it sure is a big box, thanks SS! I checked on the status of the gift I sent and although it was supposed to be there yesterday it is still in the quagmire that is the USPS.

I'm starting to get that "my SS forgot about me" feeling.

I guess some things never change. When I was a kid if mom and dad waited til Christmas eve to put out the gifts I was bummed the whole week before.

Just a note guys: when I initially saw this thread with the deadline, I did the shipping time calcs from here to the US and reasoned that there would be enough time for my package to reach my guys before Xmas. What however happened was that the deadline for people to be in was shifted out (I think twice) by more than a week. What this means is that I don't get so see who I should ship to before the deadline is reached and everybody allocated.

I really do believe that there are still many packages on their way!

Im sure that most are late and not MIA ,holiday shipping can be extremely bad.
