They all look great! My parcel landed in it's relevant city. Fingers crossed it gets there before Wednesday!

Nausea, what's the difference between Vegemite and Marmite? Same taste different make? I would eat Marmite every day given half the chance.

Really cool gifts indeed!

I'm starting to get a bit worried, because my gift should've arrived in its destination by now. I'm gonna get in contact with the seller.

"He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich..." (bonus points if you can name the song that line comes from :lol: )

I'm giving Vegemite another chance.

It's like a Coke and Pepsi scenario - except in my opinion both Vegemite and Marmite are like Pepsi - disgusting...... :-)

You gotta spread it on thin, really THIN..... even seasoned Vegemite aficionados only do it this way....

The post office has closed now and there's no mail tomorrow, being Xmas and all so nothing till Monday at the earliest... That's sad... BUT it also means a post-Xmas present is coming!! That's happy!

I officially apologize to my receiver, the package won't make it for Christmas day. I'm trying to resolver this issue ASAP. Please do know that I tried my best to make sure it arrived a week before Christmas, but apparently my best isn't enough.

MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS!

Because I don't run this I'll refrain from any specific explanations, but as a regular I propose we reveal who our person was and make an explanation.

I officially apologize too....I did try!

I propose we wait a bit more. Most packages would've arrived a couple of weeks from now and by then we'll know who the culprits and victims are :slap:

i was pretty happy my secret santa lived in california. made things easier on the shipping part of it.

I agree that we should wait until the first week of January before revealing anything.
Today is still a regular in business day in the US, so it is possible a couple people might receive something.

I didn't mean to reveal the gifts, simply the SS to advise when and how things were shipped, etc. It's sown to a few anyways.....

I'm a bit concerned my package has arrived but not been delivered. It's to be signed for too. And I've lost the fucking receipt which has the tracking number.

Because my wallet is FULL OF RECEIPTS this time of year. :sad:

Sorry SR, I misunderstood what you meant.

I don't think people should panic yet. Those who sent gifts after, say, December 7th will take longer than usual. Also, the postal service in some countries is very slow.
