Good girls - they want Santa around in July.

I just got mine! Thank you to my Cutie Secret Santa! I can't wait to open it! Charla

There are quite a few gifts still in the pipeline! Several might be late due to some very serious health problems but they are on their way. However, there are also a few Santas and Santees I have been unable to contact.
As over sixty people, worldwide, are involved, we are doing very well indeed!

I must also send Kudos to Sue. What a big, well-executed, job. I'm one of the sickies and appreciated hearing from you Sue. My gift just went with the Hub to the Post Office. Better late than never I hope!

Secret Santa has long arms and a warm heart!

Mine has arrived and is absolutely GORGEOUS! I only hope my recipient likes hers half as much as I like mine. Can't wait to show it off. Thanks Sue for a wonderful Secret Santa Christmas in July.

I've received mine. Thank you so much Santa.

Thank You to whoever lives at P.O. Box 699, Redcliffe. I received my Secret Santa This morning.

TTT - we are getting close to time to start sharing. I wanna see, I wanna see - don't you all remember hearing that from the little ones in the house?

It is indeed a stressful time!

by quiltgrama 19 Jul 2011

You are not th only one Meg Mine does not seem to have arrived yet either, We must be patient, hugs Lisa

by dlonnahawkins 19 Jul 2011

If you posted to the States it takes about that long for us to get mail to you down under, so probably takes as long to come back up this way. Sure hope you hear soon.

by meganne 20 Jul 2011

Most of my purchases from the States only take between 10 & 12 days to arrive here and I buy so much I swear I'm keeping the US economy afloat. LOL!!!!
I really worry about mail leaving Australia getting lost. I have little faith in Australia Post because our internal mail takes forever to reach its destination.
I'll just have to be patient!!!! :-)

by killiecrankie 22 Jul 2011

Have you got a receipt from the post office with the items postcode on it? This is proof of posting the item & you can claim up to $50 for a lost item without having to register the item.Last month I got something from the USA & it arrived in 6 days by ordinary mail- a record for me until then 8 days was the best.The worst was 6 weeks for a large letter that was to go to a Parks PO Box but spent over 4 weeks having a winter holiday in post office near Ballina.
Aust post at times seems to ignore the postcode on the mail & sends it to another place with the same name even though it is in a different state

by spendlove 22 Jul 2011

The value of the SS gift is to the recipient not the sender! Meganne is eager to know that her Santee has received the gift.

by meganne 22 Jul 2011

I phoned the PO today and they said because I didn't register it there is no guarantee it will arrive and of course there is no return address on it because it is supposed to be secret.

I can't say where it was sent to as it would be a sure giveaway but they also told me it should have arrived within ten days. I am concerned it hasn't arrived. :-(

by dlonnahawkins 22 Jul 2011

I spent the extra and had a tracket put on mine, so I know that my SS recipient has received it. I did ot put the address on it either, but at least on this one, I know that they received it. Do they have something like that down ther?

by meganne 23 Jul 2011

No, only with registered post, but I was always led to believe that "Registered post" was only available for parcels INSIDE Australia.
Every time I have asked previously about insurance or protection, for International mail, I have been told it is not available. AAAAAARGGH!!!!!

by dlonnahawkins 23 Jul 2011

Well - that stinks, doesn't it? I can't remember how we did the pkgs to DH when he was overseas - But, I know one of them took about 3 or 4 months to get to him becauses it got side tracked all over Europe.

thanks to my secret santa I have my gift now. My SS sure is a cutie, hugs Lisa

Took an old machine in for clean and repairs and what to my eyes appeared from my door when I returned, my Santa item. I can hardly wait. My family is keeping close eyes on the package. Hugs and blessings secret Santa Cindy B. From MN.

Received mine today. Thank-you to my secret santa. Carol

Received mine today! thank you will reveal on the 25th gorgeous to say the least. Hugs to my secret santa...Hugs Sally
