darklingscribe · 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.

Gifts wrapped, boxed, and shipped.

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 · December 4, 2014

Gifts mailed! I hope my giftee likes it all.

shivtim · December 4, 2014

Mailed mine on Tuesday morning. It's in the hands of the USPS now!

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?

Come Hell of High Water, my Satanee will have their loot before ChrisHanKwanSivus!

Or will I?

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... )

My gifts should be at my giftee's house on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 by 8pm

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.

But everything else is ready to send out, and I'll be sending those items tomorrow!

EDIT: I've PM'd Brandy about this so that she'll be aware (though I know she'll also see this post).

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 · 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.

If it weren't for all the merriment, good tidings, happiness, and good cheer during Christmas, I might consider hurting someone.

I know all this will pass, and my giftee will love what I got them, but it is frustrating.

Sorry, I'm venting.

I'm done!

Peace on earth and good will toward man and all that crap!

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

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.

My Gift has been shipped out

cfc · December 5, 2014

Just mailed mine. Hope my recipient likes it.

bert425 · December 5, 2014

Regardless of what it is?. . it's the thought that counts.

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).

it's just a joy to see people caring!

Edit to add, since y'all were just talking about Amazon.

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).

(he doesn't read here, so he'll not see this ).

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"

*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.

so we went from 4-8 weeks out to next week.

in two days.

Guy T. Koepp · 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.

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.

How can you not love HoloDolly?

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.

I do it out of love.

Merry ChrisHanKwanSivus to all!

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 · December 6, 2014

Mailed my gifts out today, and it should arrive Monday.

matteocrepaldi · December 6, 2014

Had a little delay too! I will ship out everything on Wednesday! I hope!

disney4me2001 · 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.
