I haven't gotten one yet....But now that I have said that one will pop up later today
Pluck it...or cut it close to the root....Or embrace it...
At least it just one.....Maybe the rest of them won't come for a very long time

Honestly at this point I probably would have given up on this arriving in the near future and just sent my Elf something else. My patience is and would be far too short to deal with this type of USPS drama.. I hope what is in it is not damaged from all the shipments..But it would be chalked up as a loss for me.

I understand. But this is a $60 package. yes I SHOULD HAVE gotten insurance but it was going to the next state over! I have learned my lesson..
I called USPS today, the lady was...extremely unhelpful. Basically what she said is "its lost and maybe one day youll get it back THANKS FOR CALLING"
So I went to the post office. I told them my dilemma. The lady didnt understand, and kept telling me to call my friend in Atlanta and ask her why she didnt get the box. Im like SHE DIDNT MOVE! SHE DOESNT LIVE IN ATLANTA! So then a man came out (with wings and a halo lol) and said its probably at the mail recovery center in georgia...he took my name and address and my elf's name, and my phone number and said he is going to do his best. I still have my receipt and the tracking number, so I will keep updating it.
I have no problem sending my elf something else...I hope u guys dont think that Im being cheap or anything. I shopped long and hard for my elf and I waited for her to post her stuff. I wish she would have gotten it, I wish it was in time for Christmas....But I do want to wait to hear from this man at USPS ..because like I said that is $60 that I MIGHT get back...if not, Ill definetly send my elf a replacement gift ASAP.Im so sorry Melliquor...I hope u understand
The lady said on the phone "The only reason it may not have been returned to you is because the return address was illegible" I told her "It might be illegible because its been rained on and kicked around for a month!"

No we do not think you are being cheap by any means...I am honestly just saying if and when you get it back from the USPS one never knows....They are not the most helpful or competent when it comes to lost packages...they really just don;t care. All I'm saying is I could not put myself through the frustration of dealing with them....It just would not be worth it to me...I mean if it has a tracking number...and they can't track it...what does that tell you about their system...pretty F'd up! But know I doubt anyone thinks you are cheap...I just can't imagine going thru that crap without going postal...

Thank you for the update!! I don't think you are cheap at all... i would be going mad if my elf's gift went missing. I don't know what happened because i received the card... USPS SUCKS!!!
I will be going back to the UK on Sunday... so any packages will need to be sent to there. I will send peacelover the address there.
Don't stress too much about it... for me it was all about the giving... i am just so happy that my elf liked her gift. This was so much fun!

Concertina have you received your gift yet?
I don't know why there is such a delay in it arriving, it should be at least in the country now if not in your state seeing as its been a month. I would of course send another package out as stupidly I didn't take out insurance and don't want you to have not got anything out of the Secret Santa.
Lyla thanks for the update about my gift-I'll update the thread to let you know when its received.
