[Gothgar]

I have yet to receive confirmation from some of you. Being that the deadline was 5 days ago, the following people, in alphabetical order, are currently on my naughty list:

DisgruntledVirus
eits
Gothgar
hybridsquirrel
manlymatt83
mztykal
Sixguns
Zap

That is from my list of people. I don't know about Jeff's groupings. Please send us a message/email letting us know if your gifts were sent or what the current status is.

Thanks!

I sent mine out, I messaged you just now, spaced on that part of the whole dealio.

Mail runs on Monday too

Are you sure? President Obama signed an executive order giving federal employees Monday off. Not sure if that applies to postal workers or not.

 

[vshah]

holy.
crap.
my wife just got hers. we're still going through everything. must be 20 things in there!

 

[MonKENy]

dunno


My SS got his yesterday and hasn't posted yet.

I feel kind of bad because I couldn't go all out like I wanted to. He was also really vague on his likes/dislikes, so I bought something I really wanted figuring any nerd would like it. In true ATOT fashion, I bought it on a hot deal!

I was pretty impressed this year.

The post office delivered it a day earlier than quoted, less than 2 days total.

Got yesterday, really cool thanks! Will post pics in the other thread today. :thumbsup:

 

[manlymatt83]

Got mine! Sorry I haven't had a chance to post. Definitely some good gifts this year. For example, got some good tea and a solid looking blue-ray I'm looking forward to watching. Thanks for all the gifts, SS!

 

[manlymatt83]

still haven't gotten mine.

and i got my recipient mulitple things with different arrival dates. once they find out who got their stuff for them, i hope they contact me to find out if they got everything i sent.

 

[manlymatt83]

Jeff and I will bounce that around. I know we emailed previous year participants a couple years back. Thanks for the suggestion. Oh and it's Matt.

I'd be willing to throw a little PHP magic together to help with this. Sendgrid has a free account, FYI.

 

[vshah]

gifts should have reached my recipient

 

[ZYFER]

I received mine today. Have yet had a chance to open it. Was surprised when I saw it was express mail. Just one more delivery day left, I hope everyone gets theirs in time!

 

[ZYFER]

Well, finally got to opening it! Nicely hand written note, I posted a picture of it! BTW, if you intended to send an e-mail as it said, I did not receive one if you had sent one. Thanks to Mr. Santa from the North Pole of Boston!

 

[KidNiki1]

i am anxiously awaiting my stuff.

im not too concerned if i don't get it by christmas. an extra day of presents is always a good thing.

 

[shortylickens]

Sincerely hope you arent concerned. Word is Obama let everybody off Monday.

 

[ZYFER]

The USPS remains unaffected according to this:

USPS's website also still remains unchanged.

I haven't gotten a tracking request from amazon yet, thats what I get for not buying something with Prime

 

[TangoJuliet]

No gift in the mail today so no ATOT gift to go under the tree. I guess my SS was naughty this year
