2020 Secret Santa ......and we're off!

[Deadeye]

Yay! Postie came...

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Three yet to be sent, eight yet to be received.

 

[Fitzroy]

Received mine, it's under the tree.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

It's time they were all posted. I would think a courier is a better bet than the Royal Mail now, from what I'm hearing.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Two to go. Come on, you know who you are!

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Nearly there on the despatch side, except for one member who hasn't informed me of either despatch or receipt. Come along, please!

 

[marcros]

how many are yet to be received Phil?
I sent mine a week or more back but have no way of knowing if it was received. not that there is much that I can do but wait if it hasn't.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

No he hasn't as of a couple of hours ago.

Still five unaccounted for.

 

[Doug B]

Hopefully the 5 gifts do better than my sons Play Station 5 which DPD admit they took receipt of from curry’s but it is now officially “lost” I presume they mean stolen.

 

[Garno]

Phil,
Would it be at all possible to post a list of everyone who has notified you of receiving the Secret Santa gift?
I realise it is a big ask and understand if you can't do it.

Gary

I apologise if I've missed anyone's email.

 

[marcros]

The one that was sent to me has just arrived, Phil, so that is another off the missing list.

Sorry to hear that Doug. Seems endemic at the moment - every single parcel that we have delivered has been opened. It's not even subtle. Fortunately it's all dull things so nothing missing yet, but I wouldn't rate the chances of anything valuable getting here.

I even made a custom made crate for one my items which DPD managed to still damage the thing inside, I'm not a fan of them, or parcel2go, it's cheap for a reason! and often the insurance doesn't cover you fully! make sure to always take plenty of pictures before sending. I hope doug's parcel turns up, he should be offered a full refund and also compensation on top of that for them being incompetent, (apoligies to the mods if that's too off topic) I'll try to keep in the spirit of christmas and take a deep breath..

Sorry to see that my gift does not appear to have arrived yet despite posting first class last Tuesday.

I regret not having a tracking number to see where it is and can only hope it arrives in time.

Tony.

We posted a letter that contained some important stuff on the 8th by first class signed for. Still waiting for it to get delivered. Having a tracking number really does not help.

It is.

 

[pops92]

Great news by Secret Santa present has arrived. Thank you Santa.
The one thing I love is trying to guess the content of a parcel.

 

[marcros]

the lost ones are starting to come through at least. There seems to be no pattern to the postal service. I ordered coffee from a company in Edinburgh. it took 9 days to get here. My parents in a Lincolnshire village posted me a couple of things and they took 2 days. several tales on here about things taking over a week, and then others saying that their packages were received next day.
