Can you track your shipments?
I learned to do that after it was suggested a couple years ago on past Secret Santa's.

I don't know if Kitkatz told our Secret Santas, but I am doing it publicly now.   If our packages don't reach before Dec 9, we will get them Jan 11.  We gave an address in the United States Virgin Islands (we are in the British) to make it easier for the person sending.  It turns out that the friend to whom they are being shipped will be away from Dec 10 - Jan 10.    I only found out about her not being there recently.I don't mind for two reasons = I don't really celebrate Christmas, my birthday is in January.

Bajanne, lilbajanne
 
If you have not yet sent it, here is an address you can use:

25 V Apt 4
Lindberg Bay
St. Thomas, 00802
Virgin Islands




Sweetie, your secret pal says mail services does not recognize that addy.

I received mine and a card!  This week had some bumps in it, so I am late in posting that I received it.   Mine will be in the mail Monday.  This has been a very different year around our house and I am really behind.  Doing lots of online shopping so I can avoid as many Christmas crowds as possible and their germs!!   :2thumbsup;

Someone sent me something today. It had an eBay label and it came from Floriday, but had two shot glasses of one of Chicago and one of California. It said Do Not Open Till Christmas, but since it was eBay, I thought it was one of the items I ordered for my dad. I was wrong.

It's been three weeks since I posted mine and so I'm going to have to assume that it's been lost.  It shouldn't have taken this long ...
