Warning, a Secret Santa Deadline has passed!

[punkoffgirl]

Ho Ho Ho!
The time of holiday reckoning has come. Are you being naughty and haven't shipped yet, or are you being nice, and got your gift out in plenty of time? ;)

The list below consists of names of people who have not yet told me they shipped. The deadline was yesterday



Please remember that you also need to email me to tell me when you've RECIEVED your gift as well.

[Mayhem]

I sent you an email yesterday Jamie... I'm guessing then for whatever reason it hasn't gotten there though.

[Sylentwulf]

I sent out 2 days after the e-mail went out, I e-mailed you but I guess it didn't go through. I just sent naother e-mail using the dp board e-mail button thingy.
Sylentwulf - shipped and received.

[punkoffgirl]

I've been replying to all emails as I recieve them, to make sure you know they were recieved, and I'll continue to do so.

And please, as I said above, I MUST recieve an email from you. That means no PMs, or IMs, or IRC notes; with eighty different people, they're far too easy to lose track of.

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

email has been sent

[PDorr3]

Guess Im one of the lucky 6 :) got mine like over a week ago. Im not being naughty, Im waiting until Xmas to open the gifts :D

[Wester]

Package shipped / email sent.

[skoldpadda]

E-mail re-sent...

[Keir]

Package and email sent!

[zektor]

My package is all set, and gets shipped tomorrow afternoon. Was just waiting for a day off :) Stinkin' retail job LOL

[Cmosfm]

I sent you an e-mail earlier today, I just got a PM from you too, either way my package is in the mail!

[geelw]

sent today (priority/delivery confirmation)- as my giftee is out of town until the end of the week, i didn't want to end up with a package left on a snowy porch or worse, sent back here, lol.


g.

[TEND]

I sent you an e-mail earlier today, I just got a PM from you too, either way my package is in the mail!

ditto.

[SegaAges]

I guess I'll throw you an e-mail when my stuff gets here, since I sent you an e-mail and got a reply.

[brykasch]

Yeah I mailed mine out on the 5th. Have to get the dc number from the wife, but its been mailed out.

[hydr0x]

just wanted to make sure, as i'm still on the list, did you get my mail?!?

[punkoffgirl]

We're getting down there!

I switched email programs tonight to straighten out the issues I was having. My old program was "eating" the messages in a way. They were disappearing without me even reading them; once I installed the new program and imported everything, I was able to read em just fine.

SO! Please remember to continue emailing me as you recieve the gifts from your Santa, they should start arriving left and right now :) Looks like *crosses fingers* we have an awesome possibility of everyone getting in under the deadline for maybe the first time ever!

[zektor]

Mine went out today. You aren;t kidding about the madness at the post office. Don't think I'll be going back there until WAY after the holidays!

[njiska]

Whoa i'm amazed at some of the names still left on the list.

Joe, Dan, Chris, Kristine, a lot of big names here at DP are on it.

[zektor]

Whoa i'm amazed at some of the names still left on the list.

Joe, Dan, Chris, Kristine, a lot of big names here at DP are on it.

Yeah, I was thinking that as well. Perhaps Joe got me and is too busy packaging up my Xbox 360!
LOL

[punkoffgirl]

Yeah I mailed mine out on the 5th. Have to get the dc number from the wife, but its been mailed out.

You haven't emailed me at all.


Come on guys, it's not THAT hard to send an email, and that's what I've asked everyone to do from the start. I ain't kiddin when I say you NEED to send me an email.

[GrandAmChandler]

I sent you an email late last night, I shipped at 7am this morning Priority USPS! Sorry for the delay!

-Chris

[Queen Of The Felines]

Whoa i'm amazed at some of the names still left on the list.

I've had a horrible case of the flu for awhile there. :/

But I think my receipient will forgive the delay when he/she opens the box. ;)

Kristine

[Jibbajaba]

Package sent. E-mail sent.

Chris

[mgriff]

I shipped Priority 2-Day today, email isn't working, i'll send you a pm.

[Aussie2B]

Are you going to be posting a list of everyone who has received their gifts? It would be nice to see when gifts arrive so we don't have to worry up until Christmas about if the stuff got there or not.

We should be able to do this on our own... werent we supposed to choose a shipping option with tracking info???

I know I can check the status of my package I sent out

I hope your pkg this year was as great as the year you were my SS- I still remember all that PS1 stuff come pouring out of the box. 8-)

& I "third" the feeling of surprise at some of the names on the list. :eek 2: But I'm sure/hope you all have your reasons...

There was nothing in the rules about how something should be shipped.

And I'm not so sure that it's possible for those who had to ship internationally to get tracking info, although feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[punkoffgirl]

Tracking information was not mandatory for precisely the reason you've stated, Aussie, although it's always been strongly recommended for those able to do it. The cost of shipping something overseas via a trackable method is prohibitive to many people.

I'll be compiling a list of who has notified me that they've received their gifts sometime this weekend. As of right now, I have 24 people marked as receiving their packages out of 82 participants.

[Funk Buddy]

Mine arrived today and I know who it is since they put it on the package. LOL I will not open the box and spill the beans until we are supposed to.

My bad I apologise

On with the show! :)

[SoulBlazer]

I've mailed and received mine.

Yeah, my package cost $40 AUS to send WITHOUT the tracking info! I had no idea it would cost that much. It was worth it though, I had a lot of fun finding stuff for my SS. :)

[punkoffgirl]

You know, I'm pretty disappointed. I've sent PMs, which I KNOW they read, because they're in my sentbox now, and I've sent emails that I have no idea if they read, and I still haven't heard anything from either of these two people:

Dbiersdorf
Suppafly


It would take less than a minute to tell me what's going on, if you've shipped yet or not, so I can either make other arrangements to make sure everyone gets a gift, or I can let the person you got know if their gift is going to be late or not.

[skoldpadda]

You can put me down in your "received" column.

[punkoffgirl]

On second thought.. I'm going to wait to start the "received" list on here until I get final confirmation from the two remaining people on the "to ship" list. Then I'll start a whole new thread, so as not to get the two mixed up. Okay with everyone?

[njiska]

Fine by me.

[Rogmeister]

The only problem with that plan is if you don't hear from both by Christmas...and time is drawing incredibly short. Perhaps we should grab our torches and march on them like angry villagers from Frankenstein? :evil:

I doubt pigpiling on them will help them any, but perhaps the incentive of knowing people are waiting on them might help speed things along (although I have heard from them both at this point, I don't believe either package has been shipped). At the very least, I do have a backup plan if things go completely south (which I don't anticipate happening). Thanks for your concern!

[zektor]

Mine was shipped the other day, although I think I forgot to say who I was to my recipient. I had a xmas card for him to go along with it, but forgot to add it in the package :( Oh well, I'm sure he'll be happy with what he gets (I hope!)

I received mine today, can it's sitting under the tree begging to be opened :) Must hold back!

I sent you a PM with the details of my present! It should arrive dec 21-23rd (according to amazon.com)

:D Check your PM box please!

[Rogmeister]

I see that the last two names have now been deleted which I hope means everything has been shipped and there's still a good chance every Secret Santa package coule arrive by Saturday...here's hoping! I know I got mine and according to the USPS tracking service, the one I sent has been delivered as well...

[Mayhem]

At least this year (so far) we have everyone claiming they've sent off their gift... let's hope they all arrive and we get a zero douchebag rating for 2005 ;)

[Wester]

Package recieved.
