Secret Santa 2011 "NNLB": Sign Ups are closed

Damn, my one gift didn’t get done since it canceled on me over the weekend. Oh well, whoever I get will be getting some really cool and exclusive stuff. (One is actually discontinued, I wanted to keep it, but it’s too tight for me.)

I still had time to sign up right? It was cool how people posted their wishlist or whatever in the actual threads last year.

hahaha… i hope lv pimp and i get each other so we can save on shipping… lol

I had already counted both of you in it already as you had expressed interest.

If your name isn’t on there it’s because you either didn’t fit the requirements or contacted me too late.

I would like to take this moment to thank everyone who put “yes” in the international shipping question. You guys make this so much easier for me.

I don’t see myself in the list. :\

That’s actually a mistake on my part. I deleted a bunch of stuff from the beginning of the post and since your name was the first alphabetically, I accidentally cut it. Your name is actually on my bracket (I use a tournament organizing app to randomize the names). Adding your name to the list.

Cool, thanks.

The “:” face in italics looks weird.

Remember no byes…

:rofl:

Alright!
All pm’s have been sent!
I’ll apologize right away. In 1-2 cases I had to break the domestic only shipping request. I kept it to US/canada for those cases but I’m sorry, there was just no way to work around it this year. There were more international signups than people willing to ship internationally.
I hope it won’t be too much but if ever really shipping is so fucking outrageous, let me know.

If there’s any problems let me know (I hope to GOD there’s isn’t).

But aside from that, happy shopping!

Cool, thanks Valaris. Gift sent. (will send PM with order confirmation)

Well get on the gift buying later this week on my next day off from work. Thanks Valaris.

I thought that shipping between US and Canada was almost like only one country in postal service terms, as I always see people shipping in “US/Canada only” and I’ve never seen “US/Mexico only”, for example.

Starting to work on my gift, will try to have it shipped before November 15th!

Not really. Canadians can get raped by duties when getting stuff from the USA, especially if the shipper uses UPS. I don’t think there are brokerage fees/ duties when the package is under $60. Remember to mark your package as a gift!

Val check your PMs when you can or alternatively, get on IRC.

imo.

What is the cutoff date this year btw.

Oh damn. I forgot to mention that. January 15th.
I will be more lenient of course if you PM me your tracking number like you’re supposed to.

FWIW, the Premium Secret Santa signups are open until the 20th:

I’m in if there’s room. I’m currently making a list.

So this is my first time in the SS gig and was just wondering what the ideal date was to ship in order to avoid the mind-fuck postal wait during holidays? Mid-November-ish?
