darklingscribe Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Oops, I totally missed out on the sign-ups this year for the gift exchange. Oh well, there is always next year, I look forward to reading about all the great stuff everybody receives this year.
GrapesLie Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 My gift was sent out last night! it's going a long way so 6 to 10 days! I had a lot of fun putting this one together!
alilstronger Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Gifts mailed! I hope my giftee likes it all.
shivtim Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Mailed mine on Tuesday morning. It's in the hands of the USPS now!
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I can neither confirm nor deny tha... ...yeah! I can confirm that AMAZON PRIME IS PISSING ME OFF! I was told the rest of my stuff was to be here before Friday, now I'm told it might not get here till Monday. Anyone else having problems with shipping this year? Â Come Hell of High Water, my Satanee will have their loot before ChrisHanKwanSivus! Â Or will I?
sspaz1000 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I mailed mine out yesterday. According to the delivery confirmation, it's on it's way to its final destination, and should be there by Saturday. (though it is the post office, so who knows... )
1pizza14 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 My gifts should be at my giftee's house on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 by 8pm
disney4me2001 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Anyone else having problems with shipping this year? Â Yep- ordered my giftee something from a site (it's a popular and generally reliable site, though it's not Amazon), and the order is still processing! While it probably doesn't help that I ordered it right before Thanksgiving, it should have shipped by now! When I've ordered from this site before, it's been fast to process and ship. Â But everything else is ready to send out, and I'll be sending those items tomorrow! Â Â EDIT: I've PM'd Brandy about this so that she'll be aware (though I know she'll also see this post).
kasseroo Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I just came back from the post office and something special is on it's way to someone special (or completely average, I don't judge!)
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah, this is really weird in a not so funny way. I just got another email confirmation this evening that my package coming to me, shipped today. And should be here by Wednesday now. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Going to send out 1st 2/3 of gift tomorrow and the rest when it gets here. I apologise in advance to my giftee, whom so ever you may be. It's weird, cause Alana ordered a bunch of stuff on the same day from Amazon as well and two things arrived earlier this week, then she got notification Wednesday that one of her items wouldn't even get sent out until the 20th. I know it's the holiday rush and all, but they have been real spotty at best. And, they've been sending out conflicting emails which isn't helping the matter any. I have never had this many problems with them. And we get stuff all the time from them. Probably 1 or 2 packages a week. Â If it weren't for all the merriment, good tidings, happiness, and good cheer during Christmas, I might consider hurting someone. Â I know all this will pass, and my giftee will love what I got them, but it is frustrating. Â Sorry, I'm venting. Â I'm done! Â Peace on earth and good will toward man and all that crap!
AussieMum Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Dear Giftee, your first delivery is due by Thurs 11 however the second delivery will be a mystery as he has a long way to travel
alilstronger Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Anyone else having problems with shipping this year? Â I have heard stories already this year from others buying Xmas gilts online. I bought some things for myself online recently and it took almost a month to get to me. I am glad I was able to go to the store myself and buy my giftee their things.
bert425 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Regardless of what it is?. . it's the thought that counts. Â I'm already counting it as a "win" just seeing everyone posting that they shopped (even if it IS frustrating waiting for stuff to arrive so you can re-ship). Â it's just a joy to see people caring! Â Â Â Â Edit to add, since y'all were just talking about Amazon. Â I bought my Partner the complete Riddick collection on Blu about a week ago as a Lightning Deal (it was a good deal, only ~$13 for the 3 films on Blu plus an animated short). Â (he doesn't read here, so he'll not see this ). Â anyways, on Wed, i got an update from Amazon that it would arrive between 12/28 and 1/15. I wasn't THRILLED about that, but since I already have enough gifts for him anyways, I figured "no problem, I'll just hold Riddick for his Birthday in March" Â *today*. . less than 48 hours after getting the order update saying I won't get it prior to Xmas? I moments ago just got an update saying my order will be here by 12/10. Â so we went from 4-8 weeks out to next week. Â in two days.
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 ^This is what I'm talking about. They have been all over the place with communication with their vendors and recipients. I just got word that the package that Alana wasn't to now get until after the 20th, may arrive today? Their employees must be backlogged like crazy, and are just sending out email responses left and right without knowing all the information. Â Thank God I'm going to Dollywood tomorrow. I can take out my frustration by anger riding coasters and stress viewing shows. Hopefully hologram Dolly will deliver. Â How can you not love HoloDolly? Â Get it? It's like Hello Dolly with the Holo for the Hello. You saw it here first people. That right there was comedy in action. I saw the apple sitting ripe upon the tree, I plucked it, and I delivered it right to you the fine reader. If you think about it, it's magic. A ChrisHanKwanSivus miracle in action. I spread the joy, and you all recieve the joy. Â I do it out of love. Â Merry ChrisHanKwanSivus to all!
Maplepancake Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Well after dealing with traffic and crazy elves at the post office, my secret santa gift has been sent off and will supposively be getting there by Monday.
amyzoo Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Mailed my gifts out today, and it should arrive Monday.
matteocrepaldi Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Had a little delay too! I will ship out everything on Wednesday! I hope!
disney4me2001 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Sent out my package on Friday afternoon. That last gift I was waiting on actually arrived yesterday, but only AFTER I had sent out the package! So that figures. I'll be sending that one out on Monday.
jray21 Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) I sent out my gift on Friday, and I received my package today!!!!! And let me say, it was SUPER AWESOME!! Â My present has arrived! I loved the sausage tape! Three nice Spiderman wrapped gifts. First gift was a bag of Lossepladsen!?!? They were good, but a little weird. I got a Super Awesome coloring book! Let's take a look at the best pages inside. Slicey the Pig tastes delicious. This is by far the best version of Abraham Lincoln I've seen. It has Zombies, that's a sign of quality! This will be amazing to color in! A cute dog card. I Definitely love dogs! The next present is literally, SUPER AWESOME! There was a ton of super awesome stuff in it. First up was Saint Martha. I'll put her in my office, and hope for some extra tips! I love erasers like these, and can't wait to add them to my collection. A nice new bottle to bring to work. I bring a new bottle every day, so this is perfect. A tasty snake lollipop I don't know why, but I love these things. I wish I had these when I was in grade school. A monkey charm. I turned it into a zipper pull for Jacob's Jacket! Nothing like the smooth sleek feel of a snail. Because square mints just don't cut it anymore. These could be amazing, or terrible. Devil duck bandaids, with a free toy! Amy needed one so it was perfect timing My own personal Alexander the Great! Completely random, and completely perfect! I will have fun with these! Who needs an iPhone app when you have these? My sister had to get a bug removed from her ear about a month ago. She sure could have used these! I think I should wear this for my next formal night on a cruise! Seriously an amazing collection of completely random and amazing stuff! Time to try the effervescent cupcake drink! It tasted salty and fizzy, and not very good. I can't wait to trick my nephews and nieces! Â Thank you not-secret secret santa for a seriously amazing and perfect gift box!!!
