Well, we do have 3 shipping days left before Christmas.
Somehow, I just don't have high hopes for mine arriving anytime soon :laugh:

you and me both. This is the second year I have gotten a late gift!

on the flipside, it's Christmas so I am more concerned with seeing my family and wishing my fellow AT'ers well.

 

[jlee]

Mine is here! I'll wait and open it on Christmas.

 

[Patt]

I really want to read through the "What I got" thread when it materializes ... kudos to those who are waiting until the 25th to open theirs. I was weak.

Looks like I posted too soon - UPS dropped mine off just now I couldn't resist opening them, TY Secret Santa

 

[Kaido]

Just got mine, thanks SS! :thumbsup:

 

[alkalinetaupehat]

I think I got mine... 95% sure anyways. If it is, I like it. I'm going to Detroit soon, so it'll definitely be useful. Thanks SS!

 

[chickadee]

Mine shows as delivered last week

I also found my gifts waiting for me when I got home to my moms this weeeekend! I'll wait for the official 'post what you got thread' but all I have to say is my SS is AWESOME (and thats something I've been able to say every year, so thank you to those who run this and make it possible, and thank you to everyone else that participates )

 

[Gibson486]

Same here. No big deal though. Perhaps next year we should somehow keep the ATOT SS to verified Heat traders?

 

[AceGoober]

Now that things are calming down after the long work days I've been experiencing...

...whoever hasn't received a SS gift from their chosen SS, please post in a separate thread pertaining to the subject. You will get a gift either from me or anyone else who volunteers.

I don't have much to give but what I do have to give will be sent to those who haven't received anything.

I don't think that's the right thing to do. It's more of the principal. I'm sure mine is on the way...

Well I'm in for this. I don't like the idea that new people that just joined the forum can participate. I'm not being an ass, but it does make sense. But then again, what if you don't sell or buy on any forum but have a good standing?


I'll let the people that know how to do this, DO IT

 

[amdskip]

No need to raise the red flags yet and complain about not receiving a gift. I am participating and I have not received my gift yet so have some patience. 6 out of the 10 groups that I have are complete and I'm waiting for a few responses from the remaining members.

We cannot base this entire thing on heatware as it simply will not work. Many members with a great standing here do not buy/sell items therefore they have no heatware. Matt and I filter the list and agree who should and should not participate.

Please do not make a thread at this time offering gifts to those who have not received gifts. Matt and I appreciate the offer and may take you up on it if needed when the time comes. At this time it is not needed.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

As Jeff said, please have patience.

For a lot of those that haven't received gifts yet, I've already talked to many of your Secret Santas who have explained to me the reason behind the delay which consist of understandable reasons (family issues, weather, etc.). Is it the best thing ever to have these delays? No. But at least we know they ARE sending. I know it's nice to get your gift by Xmas, but if you don't get it, it's not a huge deal. Please be reasonable.

Red flags aren't put up by Jeff and I until at least a week or two after Christmas. Jeff and I also have personally emailed those we haven't received confirmation from to find out what the hold up is.

Again, have patience. I know you want your gifts. Just bear in mind, there's a lot that goes into this on all parties involved so of course there will be delays. Thank you for your concern though guys.

HAHAHAHA...my gf said she is gonna join ATOT just to be part of the gift swap next year.

I am not too worried. I am one of those who hasn't received their gift yet, but I am sure it will come sometime soon. Cant wait to see what my SS got me!

QFT

amdskip and MartyMcFLy3 have always handled this in a professional manner.

my gift being late it trivial compared to being a part of this community and developing some amazing friendships with many people on here. I have been an Ebay seller since 1999 and an AT seller since 2001 and I don't even bother selling on Ebay anymore..if I have to sell for less profit to deal with the fine people of this community it is worth it to me.

 

[PeteyCPU]

Got mine, thanks SS!

 

[slightlyhuman]

mine came in last week but i haven't had time to stop by and pick it up.
