Secret Santa 2016 - OPENING GIFTS!

[CPTBadAss]

That's the problem I think. Went to a different PO than normal.

[hwood34]

I sent my Secret Santa package today. I'm sad because the PO lady insisted I use my real name instead of "Secret Santa" .

Ya. I have run into this before, so I am always sure to print off my shipping label at home with it paid and everything. Then when I go to the post office I skip the line and just drop it counter and say "its ready to go. Please scan it when you have a minute." and then I peace.

It probably helps that I ship like 20 packages a month so they all know me at this point.

Yeah, I live in a town of about 250 people, and we have a tiny PO that only employs two people at the counter, and only one is there at a time. I ship stuff with some regularity, but they seem to know everyone in the town and are super cool about stuff like that

I would laugh if that was a code key hidden in sandbag.

[fknraiden]

Finally picked up the gift, should be able to get it out tomorrow. I hope my ss is able to use it without much trouble =P

Received mine a while ago. I'm going to ship mine on Friday.



Thanks Santa for the many gifts!

[bueller]

Pretty sure my SS package arrived today, I've only got packages ordered from China so it's just a wild guess...

[i3oilermaker]

If anyone is looking for a last minute SS - PM me I can throw together a bunch of TechKeys stuff into a package personalized for your giftee. 

[Joey Quinn]

Shipped yesterday, I'll add tracking tonight. 

[noisyturtle]

Is there an updated list that shows sent/received?

[katushkin]

Is there an updated list that shows sent/received?

I too would like to know this as I have no tracking or anything =/

[radio_killah]

Glad I sent mine early. It's taking a while to get there.

[nubbinator]

Is there an updated list that shows sent/received?

I'll update sent to tonight.  I can only confirm arrival by number, not by person confirming since a number haven't confirmed in thread.

[nubbinator]

OP updated with carrier updates on the package. 

Hoff, I was notified that things for yours are not arriving in a timely fashion, so it may, unfortunately be a little late.

[noisyturtle]

OP updated with carrier updates on the package. 

Mine was sent as well, but no tracking.

[Fire Brand]

Sent mine now sorry for the delays, hope you like mine :x

Not to be a **** but...

From the OP:
"You must send your package with tracking"

Was it perhaps too costly? I know that can jack up the price depending on where you are sending the package

[katushkin]

My shipping to NA with tracking was like 24GBP. But if you can't afford the tracking then don't do INTL? Idk...

This.

I did flat rate USPS International and it was $23 USD with tracking...

[nubbinator]

There seems to have been some confusion on the OP update based on PMs.  The OP is status of the recipient's package, not the sender's. So it's your name and status of your package.

[Joey Quinn]

My gift has arrived! 15 Days and counting.

Yeah, the lady at the shipping center wanted to charge $12 for minimal tracking and $40 for full tracking. I just laughed and said no.

I'm charged by weight and fastness of delivery, but charging that much extra for tracking is just BS (not buckle spring)! In some places you could have express shipping for that much.

My mother dropped it in the mail yesterday. She didn't get tracking though, which is unlike her. Either way, it's priority, so someone's getting a package that says Secret Santa on it either tomorrow or Friday.

It may or may not have a triangle on it.

all priority gets tracking now. check the receipt she got, it will be on there.

[PointyFox]

A package tried to get to me yesterday and I was at work so they took it away again.  I'm staying home from work today for it.  Also because I'm sick.

[Flamingchook]

Received my gift today. I think I could hazard a good guess just from the customs label and origin but I'll have to wait for Christmas to find out if I'm right.

[Lurch]

Will be shipping and posting my tracking today. Should arrive just in time.

[taylordcraig]

Same here, and also got my gift today. Thank you secret santa!

[swill]

Got mine a couple days ago.  Shaking it gives me NO hints whatsoever.  Box size and shape is not giving me hints either.

#curious...  Is it Christmas yet?!? 

[PointyFox]

 DHL guy just delivered it

Haha...  Ya, I was intentionally vague with my customs declaration.  I actually put what my recipient would expect to see on the customs declaration, but is that really what is in the package?   :eek:  Good thing these things don't get checked often...  :P

[infiniti]

My gift was received by my mail forwarder already.  It should be with me in about 10-12days.

[CPTBadAss]

Just realized something, if I don't get my package this week, I won't be in town to receive it until the new year . Here's to hoping my gift comes soon!
