It appears my person hasn't received theirs yet. :cry: I even checked the tracking information online today; I sent it on the 16th with 3-5 day delivery, and the tracking info said it left the U.S. from Chicago on the 17th. Beyond that, I'm not sure exactly where it is right now, somewhere across the pond. I thought it would have arrived by now though, because even if it took 5 days, plus the weekend, then it should have arrived by the 23rd. Hopefully it's not lost. I apologize to my person, I really thought it would have been there by now! Well, hopefully it will arrive in the next few days.

If some people didn't get cards cause they weren't sent
I'd be more than happy to send them a "sorry your card didn't get sent but have an amazing day today anyways" card.


I think you can buy those somewhere.

yes, and we did this earlier than last year :(

no card here yet

SueDeNimes
28-12-2010, 04:55 PM
I sent mine "only" 2 weeks ago... given that there's more to deliver around Christmas and there was snow chaos almost everywhere here... might take another week or so to arrive... I hope it'll get there soon!!

RedGirl76
28-12-2010, 07:59 PM
I would actually estimate that about half of Team Europe sent their card less than 10 days before Christmas - those cards really didn't stand a chance of getting there in time. I don't think people considered the fact that post always takes longer at Christmas, and then the snow across Europe slowed everything down even more.

I also have 5 people who haven't replied to several requests to confirm if they posted their card. I'm assuming no reply means no card :( I'll send one myself to their matches who are missing out. As Lore said, we started everything earlier this year, I'm really disappointed that so many people have been kept waiting for their cards and that some people appear not to have sent a card at all :(

I sent my card out on the 17th. We had a nasty snow storm in michigan that made it hard or safe to get to the post office. I hope my SS got their card. I haven;t got anything yet ethier. Now I just thought of it I may not of put my screen name on my SS card, oops;) oh well at least it got sent out.

When I got home from work I looked in the mailbox and found a nice little package. :wacky:

So as I mentioned above, I received my Secret Santa card today... from the lovely Nicole! (aniskywalker)

Here's the front...

http://i51.tinypic.com/2v9aoso.jpg

LOVE the choice for Will pic btw :wink:

The inside...

http://i54.tinypic.com/2ezh3kh.jpg

And some om nom nom chocolates that came with the card

http://i56.tinypic.com/icn42c.jpg

As you can see, one of the chocolate Santas didn't quite make it in one piece through the post. Although Chris does look a bit guilty in that picture, doesn't he?!? Why is he wiping off his mouth!

Delicious chocolates Nicole, although I'm sorry to say that I won't be sending you my shirt in return like Chris did. :lol:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Lore

I've been so busy I haven't sent more Pm's but I'll send the last pm's tomorrow and if they don't reply I'll send some happy new year cards too I guess :P or happy january, whatever :P

Really awesome, indeed. :awesome:

And I agree that Chris looks a bit guilty in that picture - and as you pointed out: He is indeed wiping off his mouth! Now he owes you another shirt !

And wonderful that it finally arrived. The weather (lots of snow in Europe and recently also in the USA - at least in the New York area) has delayed many letters and packages.

Don't worry - if a match is unsure who sent their card, they usually get in touch with the elves to find out. I've had a couple of PM's like that :)

^ Me too. :cry: I stopped by the post office today to see if they can tell me any more about the status of my package (I sent it on the 16th with 3-5 day express delivery). Online it just says it arrived in Chicago for international departure on the 17th, but nothing more. It should have gotten to my person no later than the 23rd. The lady said she couldn't tell me any more info, and that I should call the 800 number. :disappointed:

I bet that everything's not lost in the snow, but the mailmen have felt lost due to the snow.

Many may have received their SS cards already, BUT at their study addresses, but being at home for Christmas they will not be able to read their cards and tell us about it before they return some time in January.

So there is still HOPE. :thumbsup:

To give people an idea of the kinds of delays that have happened this year... I sent a package to New Jersey via air mail at the beginning of December. Normally that would take 5-6 days, but this time it actually took 3 weeks. The weather seems to have slowed things down considerably :(

I don't think that would be fair though.. What about the newcomers? Maybe they'd like to join in...
I participated last year as well and my card arrived in 5 days, but now, after 1 month my card still hasn't reached its destination :( I suppose the mailing system is messed up everywhere because everything's been a lot slower than usual.
Anyway, all hope's not lost just yet. :) I assume people should be receiving their cards next week, at least this is what I hope..

If it's more the postal service than people being lazy than I completely agree, that wouldn't be fair. :nice: I'm just afraid there are people that sign up just to get a present, with no intention on sending to who they get.

They should come any minute now.

I think that people who never sent the card shouldn't be allowed next time but newbies should be allowed I guess. We'll definitely try to improve this but this year we did it even earlier than last year and still lots of people haven't received anything :(

I agree with all this. It has to be said, there are cards just arrving now that were sent in the middle of December - a few people in my half of the list didn't send their cards until one or two days before and after Christmas. Those cards were never going to arrive in time, they'll probably get there next week

A note to those who sent a parcel (bubble envelope mailers etc) I hear that your delay is likely to be due to customs. Customs are apparently checking EVERYTHING coming in in at least USA and Australia, possibly other countries too.

Also because with the UK snow delay the posties have incompetently chosen to deal with the mail on top of the pile first. Mail fuckery all around the world!

And I've put the cards into the dropbox and all of them arrived within two weeks except two, including my Secret Santa. :\

It seems there are quite a few people active on the thread who sent one, but haven't heard that it was received.

guys, after some people never sent the cards we asked some nice people to send more cards so everybody should get one, I feel a bit sad when I see people complaining so much since we've said we've tried to make sure everyone would get something and if that doesn't happen it's because the card was lost in the mail and that's something we can't control

I am glad that you liked it, Lore. But I sent it the day I received your card, LORE - I think that it was around 5 December. The same day I sent my card and gifts to Lore and remembered to put on the BY AIRMAIL label. Result: LORE received it 6 WEEKS LATER !!!!!!!! :stunned:


I read it so quick, at first I read it wrong. I thought, "Nancy woudn't send!..."

Lookie what arrived today!

The envelope showed a few signs of wear and tear but I think it's been sitting in storage for a while (stupid floods).
Anyway, I got the lovely surprise today after work of an envelope from the US, with a beautiful postcard (with a lovely message on the back) and bracelet inside!

off topic but just cant help it... my father bought a Kenzo Flower few years back. we are 3 females in the family but nobody actually used it, because the parents decided to put it on a display cabinet instead. :sick: they thought the bottle was just too nice. :confused::\ my parents are weird. :lol:

Yep, one of those was from me and it took over a month to get from the UK to Chile, even though I went to the post office, got the packaged weighed and sent it with the correct postage via airmail.

I guess due to the harsh winter weather in Europe this year, there have been unprecedented delays. :(

Dearest Mary :)
I am so so so sorry it took me so long to do this, I was sick during the Christmas Holidays and didn't check my mail until the day before yesterday because I stayed home all this time.
Thank you so much Mary, you're an Angel, your card is the most beautiful sweetest kindest card I've ever received in my whole life :) Thank you from the bottom of my Heart, I was so touched I cried while reading your card :) I felt as if you were an Angel talking to me from Heaven, your words soothed my Heart and made my Heart smile for ever, I will never forget this Christmas thanks to YOU because you really gave me the LOVE and MAGIC of Christmas :)
God bless your Angel's Heart for ever :) One Love :) :) :)
