Great to hear. Hopefully it will work out this time. I will get it after I come back from MerMania

Thank you

We are working with UPS to see if they can find out what happened to Felicia's gift. Hopefully they can find something.

I'll be honest though, I don't believe UPS actually delivered it because I was home when it was supposedly delivered and I never heard a knock on the door, nor did my dogs (they would have barked like crazy) or the neighbors.

Please check in with me if you have received your gift so I can check you off, OR let me know if you haven't received anything and we can work together to find out what happened. Also if these members haven't been online recently it would be cool if someone could check in on them for me, as I haven't been getting any replies through email.

Also, I will be adding a new rule for next year as long as it is okay with the admins and the group as a whole - It would be super cool if everyone did not change usernames during the Secret Santa if you are participating.

Oh my goodness, I received mine over a month ago! I made a post about it in this thread, but I didn't know we were supposed to do anything else.

FUN FACT: When UPS was delivering my shell top from Lotus, I was sitting in the office with my blinds open so I could see out onto the road. The truck pulled up in front of my house, and I saw the driver get out, so I darted down the hall, and down the stairs to the door. 30 second trip, MAYBE.

By the time I got there and opened the door, the driver was already back in his truck and driving away. No doorbell, no knock, nothing. Where was my package? Clumsily dumped on top of a flowerpot on the front step.

My boyfriend's car had been broken into about a month before, and shortly after the car break-in I was home alone and caught some creep trying to get in through my back door. :/ Not the kind of neighborhood I want my expensive packages sitting around in the open unguarded.

My stepdad's had it happen to him several times, too, and he regularly orders really expensive stuff. Most times they just dump it on the step and leave it there.

That's shitty!! We rarely have that problem here regardless of which company delivered but we rarely have theft like that too, the beauty of living in a small area I suppose. I guess ill have to start worrying about what I have sent to my house now...
