I too haven't heard and tracking said it was delivered (also delivered earlier than expected). Maybe something has come up to where they haven't been able to get online is my thought. However if it's broken, not sure how long a claim came wait, or a vet can help the poor guy  :rofl; :rofl;

My package came but I'm not sure exactly when it came, as I was in the hospital almost the whole month of November.
Mine was sent out yesterday.  Sorry so late, couldn't help it due to hospitalization.  Should be there before Christmans.

So now let us take look at what is going on with the Secret Santa list.

If you have sent your package and it has not arrived please check with the post office s tow here it is.  Put a tracking number on it at the post office if you can.  That way it can be tracked all the way to the recipient.

The following people have not received gifts. Please make sure they are sent.  I am beginning to worry!

Hi Kitz....

Couldn't put a tracker on Mum's gift to her person as it was under two kilos in weight...

It was sent on Nov 3rd... I haven't seen any posts from the person in quite a while... I'm beginning to worry about the person....

Hope they got it....
