Fuuuck did I miss the sign up this year

Yessir you did. All matches have been decided.

I am waiting for one package to arrive this week, then my last boxes will go out to my recipient

[swimmingbird]

I still need to buy stuff eek

[elton5354]

I need to ship mine tomorrow...

[XMIT]

Still need to send mine. Didn't get to it this past long weekend.

[tigersharkdude]

I'm not shipping for at least a week

[Halverson]

Mine is out, should only take five business days. Going to be a long wait till Christmas, hehe

[CPTBadAss]

Not from the Santa I got in this thread but definitely in the same spirit. Shoutouts to demik who hooked me up with this incredible haul.





20th anniversary collector's edition Only Built 4 Cuban Linx tape and matching purple vinyl. PURPLE TAPE <3


Been really blessed to have received amazing Christmas presents in the last few years from geekhackers. Last year jdcarpe sent me this amazing package with a wood Omega stand, sci-fi book, and Gravity Falls. And this year this. Thanks for being awesome geekhack. <3 <3 <3

[heedpantsnow]

Ok I got some sort of a mailing tube. Looks interesting. I won't open it until Christmas so I will be surprised. If it's something that I ordered and forgot about...I will be even more surprised!

truth is.

demik isn't a bad person. im actually quite nice when you get to know me. im just a little opinionated sometimes. to a fault actually.

also, cpt. im really glad you liked it. it was so hard to keep it under wraps haha.

[tigersharkdude]

still waiting on a package

If it's not here soon my giftee is only getting partial package

[jerue]

The truth is out.. Demik is secretly a pie.

FTFY

[Lurch]

I just got a package from a Kris. S Kringle. I wonder if that is my GH SS gift?!

[XMIT]

My package is in the mail! The lucky recipient is [somewhere] and should see their item [soon].

[trenzafeeds]

XMIT doesn't get jokes

[Air tree]

I'm trying to rush and put together my package now. I've had to convince someone I know to order one thing and get everything ready to ship. I didn't expect to be away from home for so long. I will get it out though.

[Badwrench]

Mine will be in the mail on Friday    Just contacted a vendor and the item I ordered (2 weeks ago) will be here on Thursday, sorry for cutting it so close. 

I am surprised that there are no box photos yet (besides CPTs).  It feels like this one is pushing more to the due date rather than early.

[XMIT]

XMIT doesn't get jokes

It's true!

[GL1TCH3D]

Well I know what I want to send but I probably won't be able to send it before next week...

I'll be sending is express for delivery on the 16th!

[heedpantsnow]

Freaking eBay sellers have foiled my ploy. Ordered sth on the 4th, shipping label creates that day, but guess what Fedex STILL doesn't have it in hand. Guess I'll have to send it priority next week when I get the bottles from eBay.

[XMIT]

USPS Priority is my go-to for shipments within the US. That or FedEx Ground.

The USPS board game flat rate box is a good size for keyboards and a reasonable price to ship. But it is too flimsy! My solution: nest one box inside the other! Also tape over the perforated seams at the ends of the box.

[tigersharkdude]

an absolutely boss AF item came in today, my Secret Santa will not be disappointed

[tigersharkdude]

Oh and, should I take a picture of my gifts for proof just in case anything were to happen in shipping?

[Fire Brand]

I would at least have valid proof of what was sent incase you need to claim via the post for it, otherwise might be nice if the giftee does not post them

On another note my gift has been wrapped and hopefully get sent tomorrow

Remember to put your shipping info in the Santa Tracker form I posted earlier.  So far I only have shipping info from 7 people.  That's less than 20% of all participants.  We only have two weeks until Christmas, so things should be in the mail at this point.

[XMIT]

Thanks for the reminder nubbinator, I had forgotten about that Santa Tracker page. I've posted my information there.

The link to the old post that contains the link to the Santa Tracker is: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=63501.msg1897212#msg1897212 .

GLAD I ALREADY HAVE NO COAL FOR ME

[trenzafeeds]

Fuuuuck, I still haven't mailed mine.

[nubbinator]

Fuuuuck, I still haven't mailed mine.

GET ON THE ****ING BALL!!!


(I haven't shipped mine yet either, waiting on one more thing)

[Sent]

My last thing should get here tomorrow...and then I can ship out on Saturday.

Last stuff gets here Friday or Saturday and then I'll 2 or 3 day it

[CPTBadAss]

Got my last item today. Shipping tomorrow finally.

[Remenition]

last item gets here dec. 13 ( sunday ) then i'm 2 daying it. god bless amazon prime 

[CPTBadAss]

Not to **** on you personally or anything but the reason why nubbinator said to ship 2 weeks ahead of time is because all shipping tends to slow down around the holidays. Recently my 2 day Amazon has been 4-6 day and my 2 day USPS has been 4 days on average. Just pointing that out.

[heedpantsnow]

I'm with you bro. Don't hate us Captn. We're doing the best we can. I ordered sth from eBay over a week ago and it's still not here yet. :-(

[CPTBadAss]

Hey I'm in the same boat. Not like I shipped any sooner than ya'll. I'm just pointing that out for the future.

[Remenition]

yeah, i ordered 1 day shipping on amazon and it's getting here on sunday. i would've liked to ship out sooner but theres nothing i can do about it now. luckily i live pretty close to my giftee, so i think 2 weeks should be ample time for it to get there if i ship 2 day

[swimmingbird]

Got everything shipped out today

[Fire Brand]

Kinda excited too see what my giftee thinks of my gift and how my Santa got on with buying something as I get it was a experience looking at what I said I liked XD Also I will have to open mine the 23rd as I will be gone over Christmas too so dibs on the first pictures!

[CPTBadAss]

Finally shipped mine out! Hoping I get my package before the 23rd because I'll be afk for a while after that. Secret Santa so fun

[Booper]

I sent mine out today!!! YAY!

I hope my recipient likes what Santa got for him

[Badwrench]

All shipped and tracking has been submitted 

[HoffmanMyster]

(I haven't shipped mine yet either, waiting on one more thing)

AHEM

We only have two weeks until Christmas, so things should be in the mail at this point.

Also, I was planning to grab my stuff (local, in person) this week, but work foiled that plan.  Every night this week was spent working late, missing the hours of the place.  :|  Should have it out early next week though.  Sorry giftee. 

[nubbinator]

I comished ish bruh, I can't hep if it's delaid.  Demik said custom Drake albums take time.

[nubbinator]

Oh, and only tracking info on 13 people right now.  I'll be sending out one part of mine this weekend and the rest when it arrives.

If anyone ditches, this will be me this year:

[Skuloth]

I'll be sending mine out either tomorrow or monday. Sorry for the delay
