Secret Santa 2008: Information and Hints Thread

[Dahlia_Rayn]

Peacelover...don't feel bad, I just sent mine today too, cuz I wanted my elfie to get hers as close to Christmas as possible! I like to draw out the anticipation...hopefully she'll think it was worth the wait!

I believe that my box was stolen. I was waiting to receive it from being mailed to a "wrong" address. They said they mailed it back the 12th, or I should have received it the 12th. Im really nervous because that was almost a week ago.

Please nobody steal my box! Please! I need it to get to my elf again, I dont care that I have to pay shipping again. Im going to cry if I dony get it back

I HATE USPS. I SHOULD HAVE SENT IT UPS, THIS NEVER HAPPENS WITH UPS!!!! Im seriously getting ready to cry! I shopped so long and hard for my elf

Someone needs to give me a hug, like now. Please!!!!!!!!

If it makes you feel any better I waited over 3 weeks to get a letter retiurned that went to the wrong address...If you have the tracking number look it up...It will tell you where the package is...If it says returned to sender it is still in process...It will say delivered once they actually get it back to you

 

[MrsMay]

I'm sure it will show up soon!!!

I was getting worried about my elf's parcel too as one package I sent the same day to New York reached there about a week before my elf received hers...

 

[melozburngr]

My elf still hasn't gotten mine, which makes me sad- I mailed it over a week ago, and an item I sent MEDIA MAIL the same day made it faster than her gift!! Bastard USPS.

Hahaaa! I KNEW it was you! You were giving me "little" hints before. I just didn't say anything b/c I was too shy if I guessed wrong. Thanks Tish! You are awesome!

And nope, I haven't abandoned this thread! I have been reading faithfully every day. But have been so busy I don't have time to reply! Working NOC shift in the ER sucks big time right now. It's crazy buzy and everyone has the flu! I'm so stressed out right now! Thank god for Specktra to keep me preoccupied with stuff!

Hope everyone who is waiting for their packages gets them. Mail is incredibly show right now for USPS. So hang in there. I'm sure your Secret Santa pkgs will be arriving sooner than you think!

Thank you... This was seriously the climax of my Christmas, LOL. I've never done anything like it before, but I am hooked now. I was telling my husband we should have secret valentines and leprechauns and easter bunnies... he just told me to go to sleep.

Love you girls!

She's alive!!! Yeah!!!!! I thought you abandoned us!!! Try not to stress so much .. I know it's easier said than done...Just take one long day at a time!! You are doing very valuable work!!!

 

[NatalieMT]

Aww even though I didn't participate in this (I should have!) I've been reading the thread thinking how lovely everyone here is. I'm glad their are genuine, thoughtful, wonderful people out thereIt's a delight to read how happy everyone has been following receiving their gifts and swaps.

I'd very much like to join in any future swap/package pal schemes. If anyone wants to get in touch with me in the UK then that'd be fun. I'm willing to ship anywhere.

 

[Shenanigans]

I'm slightly worried because I sent my package 8 days ago by Priority Air and my elf hasn't received it. =\ And now I'm out of town and the receipt with tracking is at home. Grrr! *deep breath*

 

[concertina]

I haven't received mine. And I'm worried, because including a necklace I got off of etsy just a week or so ago, my USPS has now lost *TWO* of my packages.

Whomever my Santa is, I sure hope you bought insurance!

 

[ClareBear86]

hope your parcel turns up CantAffordMac

I just feel terrible about this. I asked my gramma today and she said that no package ever came and was refused... they just didn't bother delivering it. I am so pissed off... USPS sucks!!!

Rebecca don't stress too much... you will get it back. Sometimes, it takes a while to get packages back.
