MLPTP EVENT ~~* The MLPTP's 2012 Secret Santa Holiday Swap *~~COMPLETE!

I imagine my box will show up the day after christmas, so it'll be like christmas v. 2.0!
 
YAY! I hope you like everything, Skycakes!!!
 
oh dear - checked tracking and it says a delivery notice was left on the 20th ?? Did my partner catch the notice? I know my post office is nowadays only making one attempt at delivery... hope they got the notice
 
:yippie::bliss:On a happier note = THANKS A MILLION ZILLION to Gotbunny for my second amazing swap package!!! :bighug:

So it is just too funny to me as now I realize here she was buying swap ponies for her other partner and we are working out a sale/trade for her amazing customs and she's my secret santa! I love the small pony world we are all in :)

So I am just back from a lovely trip to florida (although as fun as disney is I would have to recommend to folks NOT to go down for the holidays = P-A-C-K-E-D = like sardines for the evening lightshow/fireworks we were)

so I can finally have my christmas 2.0 :) YAY I love extending the holidays :)

so I'll be off to brag next - whooo hoo :)
 
I have a notice from UPS that I have a package waiting at the leasing office, but I doubt it's my swap box.
 
Gonna call my house later and ask my grandmother if anything arrived for me. Someone is at my house almost all of the time, so the chance of the postman missing us is slim to none.... well, except me, I'm not there right now. lol
 
ummm... how bout:

buddafly, a little bird told me to tell you that while you are right your swap package is not from UPS, you should have received a notice from USPS and you should check your Post Office

so, there was more than one package that should have arrived that day. I had an ornament swap box that was attempted to be delivered at the same time (apparently a notice was left, except that it WASN'T actually left), and it was a PITA trying to get it here, but it's finally in my hands as of christmas eve. want to send me the tracking number so I can schedule a redelivery? (I don't have a car, so I can't just go over there and ask for it) the reason why it wasn't just left at the leasing office for me was that it was attempted to be delivered but the leasing office was closed, and there were no more parcel slots to put the box in. so, they just took it back to the office, and forgot to leave a notice. the only reason I found out was the other swap partner saw it had an attempted delivery, and yet I hadn't posted that I had gotten it, so they had the coordinator contact me about it.

*keeps fingers crossed*
 
Just called.... nothing yet. :(
 
Just posted my brag pics!

MLPMommy4Life, I really hope your package gets there safely. Because... Well... Since it's after the 21st, I guess I can say it... I'm the one who sent it. I'm so sorry it's taking so long! :(
 
It's okay. I'm sure customs is having a ball playing guessing games with it. :p

It'll get here eventually (I blame the holiday mail.... and they want to do away with the postal service?!)... maybe it didn't make it in time for Christmas (and maybe not New Year's... we'll see tomorrow!), but as of now, I guess I can look on another bright side and look forward to a pony birthday present, something I haven't had in about 25 years!!! ;-) (birthday is the 18th lol)
 
My package went to Zaradess. The PO told me 5 days to get to Germany BUT when I was in Alaska - they would say it takes a month or so at X mas. :goingcrazy5B15D:

Tikibirds - the holiday season makes parcels slow and it's always like snail mail... so I look forward and hope it will show up with beginning of january.
I've had parcels before that took 6 weeks and longer around the holiday time. :)
So no worries.

I was also at my post ffice today to check if I received anything there - but nothing yet. :(
 
Finally got some time online and I'm loving the boxes so far. So bummed some didn't make it on time for the holidays but I'm sure receiving boxes after holiday madness can be a way of extending the joy of the season.

I'll update the list on the main thread when I get home on the 2nd.
 
6 weeks? Oh good lord :seestars:

I don't think I had anything in it that would cause a problem with customs. There wasn't any food or anything like that.
Several years ago I won a CJ plushie from a seller in the UK. I gave up on it ever arriving but one day - like 7 months later - I got this mangled package with my poor pony in it.

Don't feel bad, Tikibirds... I sent a birthday gift in a BRIGHT RED padded envelope to my friend in California a few years ago (mind you, I'm in FLORIDA, and her birthday is in the end of September), and she didn't get it for about two months. So even domestically, the post can mess up pretty darn bad.
