Pointdablame actually does put his under the tree and wait. And for that I commend his ability to wait.

so you and pointdablame......;)

since circa 2k1

ahh nice, do you also place yours under the tree? i know you do SS as well, or do you open them right away like the rest of us

Dumb question...were we supposed to keep our identities secret in the gift? I had in my package "from amdhunter..."

:(

I didn't know it was supposed to be anonymous until the SS were posted. (First time ever SS experience for me.) I feel so tacky now. :(

We should do SS every month...lol

BTW, I got my package some time ago, and I absolutely loved it. (Yeah I got no willpower) I threw away the box so fast and didnt try to match the name...ugh.

I'll guess I'll find out when the SS's are posted.

Just sent mine out today. I have been very busy, and trying to think of the right gift.

Sent it Priority, so should be there in 2 to 3 days.

I haven't received mine yet but I do understand my list was probably difficult for anyone to buy for. On a good note, just bought the last part of the gift(s) today and will ship tomorrow via Priority with DC. I'll have the DC to you Jeff and Matt probably this evening.

Finals have been rape. I sent mine out last night (12/17) at the post office. Hellish lines. I got #82 and they were calling #46. I did a total WTF because I parked at a 10 minute zone. I spent the next 30 min staring at my car hoping the meter maid doesn't come. Luckily over half the numbers were missing so it breezed by.

Edit: My mom called to say I got a package a few days ago. I explained to her it was ATOT's Secret Santa but she got all paranoid thinking people still send Anthrax in the mail :(. At least she didn't toss it out like she did with my SAT confirmation letters back when the Anthrax scare was taking place. I totally forgot how I got into the testing center back then.... maybe that was when they just started the whole online process.

Anyways, finals are ending tomorrow and then I hit the slopes for a few days before I return home. I shipped my package home since I knew it would be finals season and I wouldn't have time to hit up the post office to grab my package, or worse I feared missing the package since finals end before Christmas, and I never really know for certain when I feel like packing my stuff to go home.

I'm excited to get my package on Sat when I go home.

Don't feel bad. I put my identity in my card last year and again this year as well.

When you do SS with your friends or whatever, you find out who your SS is when you receive your present. I don't see why it should be much different here.

:confused: you have numbers that get called at your post office?? you dont just get in a line?

[[that question may seem stupid - but i come from a 1sq mile town with a small empty post office - this idea of taking numbers seems crazy.]]

I may actually delivery that on monday if I don't get it from UPS tomorrow...

My recipient doesn't live that far from me. delivering to him on monday is actually doable for me. if I don't get the package tomorrow or friday, I will be screwed... :(

FVCK!!!! UPS or buy.com screwed up! :|:|:|

I don't know how the hell can buy.com ship it to my old address in Buffalo and I am living in brooklyn, which is 400 miles away.

Status: Delivered
Date Time Description Location
December 18, 2007 10:06 AM Delivered BUFFALO,NY

on the side note, they screwed up twice. I have a 2nd package with buy.com and UPS system caught it.

BUFFALO,
NY, US 12/19/2007 8:41 P.M. DEPARTURE SCAN
12/19/2007 8:06 A.M. AN INCORRECT ROUTING AT A UPS FACILITY CAUSED THIS DELAY / THE PACKAGE WAS MISSORTED AT THE HUB. IT HAS BEEN REROUTED TO THE CORRECT DESTINATION SITE
12/19/2007 6:14 A.M. POSTAL CODE LISTED FOR THE RECEIVER IS INCORRECT. UPS IS ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN CORRECT POSTAL CODE AND COMPLETE DELIVERY. / THE ADDRESS HAS BEEN CORRECTED. THE DELIVERY HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED

That's not gonna happen, since my package is nowhere to be found now. I am almost 1 hour on the phone waiting to talk to a buy.com customer rep.

I just place another order with buy.com and doing 2nd business day to him. hope he can get it on time before christmas.
