Is it Ron Jeremy sized, or Lexington Steele sized?

Yes

I'm still waiting for a 3rd-party Amazon delivery :-/ Hopefully it'll get here soon!

 

[shortylickens]

Yes

DEAR LORD!!

 

[MartyMcFly3]

If you could also let us know you received your gift, it'd be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

 

[Sho'Nuff]

I received what I think is my ATOT SS gift in the mail today. Very tempted to open it . . . but I will refrain until the big day.

Also - the gifts for my SS have been purchased and are on their way via amazon prime.

I like to wait until Christmas Eve for mine. Don't always make it

Stupid Amazon was supposed to have something to me by Friday for my SS gift and it STILL has not arrived. :thumbsdown: Guess I will be paying extra for express shipping to get it to my SS on time!

[MartyMcFly3]

Fyi I just shipped mine with standard shipping today and estimated delivery date is around the 16th.

 

[amdskip]

If you have shipped your gift, please respond to your email to let us know and include the tracking number if you have one please. I have only received 1 response so far.

Received two items from my ATOT SS. Fun stuff! Are we going to do a gifts received thread? I'd start one, but don't want to risk my Lurker Membership card...

Still waiting for 3rd party shipping. Stupid mail

 

[Adramalech]

Ordered my ATOT SS gifts! One from Amazon and one from the big island of Hawaii

 

[SpiderWiz]

I was surprised to receive gift yesterday. My ATOT SS gifts will be delivered soon!!

 

[KeithTalent]

First item went out directly from the supplier; they said it should be there early next week.

Finally received my Amazon item, so will try to get the second part out by the weekend.

We will start one as it gets closer to Christmas.

 

[Captante]

Still waiting on the last piece for mine from Amazon ... should be on its way by Mon or Tues at the latest.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Sent out last night... shipping cost half as much as the gifts!

 

[mcurphy]

Going to ship my gifts today, will it need to ship Priority to get there before Christmas, or would First Class be OK with delivery confirmation?

First class is almost certainly going to get there before the 23rd. I sent fedex because USPS wouldn't take the neurotoxin...

Thanks, was just looking up pricing, and I didn't realize First Class is only available up to 13 ounces, looks like it will have to go Priority after all. Flat Rate box looks like the way to go!

Planning on finishing up shopping tomorrow. Thanks to a lot of use it or lose it vacation that needs to be taken by the 19th, I work a grand total of 2 days between now and the 21st. I think I should be able to finish up my Secret Santa shopping and get it in their grubby paws in a timely fashion, especially since I have it half done already.

 

[DisturbedRamm]

i believe I got my SS gift the other day, it's sitting under tree staring me in the face until Christmas

DONT SCREW AROUND!!!


Everything clogs up this time of year. Amazon stuff that used to take one or two days will take up to a week because UPS can never keep up with the demand. Even if they pass stuff off to the postal service or FedEx, theres always too much work to be done.

Get it out as early as you can. If it arrives early then they can just hold onto it for a little while. Dont assume or even hope or pray it arrives "just on time". Thats not a safe bet at all. Do it now.

 

[jlee]

One of my things still hasn't shipped. I might have to find an alternative..running out of time!

Very true ... Sent mine priority less then a week before last year and I believe it was delivered Christmas eve! Of course the fact that it went from CT to NY via South Carolina might have had something to do with that!

I suggest that if your missing one piece you send out what you do have and include a note explaining that one more item is on the way. If my last piece isn't here tomorrow that's what I'll be doing!
