But umm....I never got a package :(

Ironically, I did two secret santa type things this year, didn't recieve anything on the other one either!

Lot of people sent their gifts out late. Keep your hopes up.

Just a quick question...would it be inappropriate to leave your SS some Heat feedback, positive of course, for following through on sending a gift? I'm just thinking it'd be neat to have a little blip in there that mentioned what a nice Santa you were to somebody this Christmas :)...but perhaps it'd be wrong considering it really wasn't a "business" transaction.

Just a thought.

My opinion says heatware is a no go.

Im hoping this was just an extra one they had or something... They did some research and saw my 512mb one was stolen so they replaced it. So much for the $20 limit :Q

Wow! Fantastic SS!

Ah well, I just figured I'd ask to see what others thought...the SS that got the person the Shuffle would certainly deserve it, if anybody did though.

Same here, perhaps it'd be best to PM amdskip and ask him to check the tracking number/DC?

In due time folks. As it stands only 58 out of 104 people have stated they've received theirs in this thread so we dont want to ruin it for the other 46. Be patient. :)

Happy New Year.

will you eventually be contacting people to get their verification they received it?

according to tracking mine was delivered on the 12th ;x quite awhile ago, however the person never posted receipt of it.

No package today either. My tracking # says what i sent was delievered, and the person has not posted here also.


Also, I'm on the opposite side of the heatware, why cant we leave heat for this transaction? Is it against TOS?

Sorry folks, no heatware can be left for secret santa.

Give packages a week or so and then we will start chasing them down and hopefully finding out their status.

Is it considered rude to take part in this, have your gift recieved before xmas, and have 5 days go by without the person saying thanks?
Normally i would just be like, whatever, but i put thought into this gift and paid a little over the price, and put the reciept in there in case they already had it.
