Hooray, I got mine! Pics tomorrow, but it is a buttload of beer and a tshirt. Seriously, thank you so much Maddog17!!!!!!!! I don't know where to start.
On a weird note. I found the receipt from UPS and punched in the tracking number for the package I sent and it says nothing is found???? I sure hope it gets there. Delivery date was supposed to be Friday the 18th.

UPS is slammed this time of year. It wouldn't surprise me if someone just forgot to punch the info in the computer. More likely their system is just backed up based on the sheer volume of orders they are processing right now.On a weird note.

If you know your monkey hasn't received it yet, give UPS a call and see what's up. I've already had one major SNAFU from Brown Santa this year (took 9 days for something that should've taken 2, the parcel didn't show up in their system for like a week, AND they had the wrong delivery address).
I left the # at home so I'll call tomorrow if my monkey doesn't get it today.
Man, my elf has had their gift since Saturday. No photos? No news?
I'd be happy with that!
Sounds like many folks will be cutting it awfully close this year in terms of getting their gift delivered on time.
If the monkey has been active here the last couple of days, I'd suggest PM'ing them to ask if they got it.
Dang. Not active since the 17th.
Lets hope he isn't getting ass raped in a ditch by meth heads.
Hey, its sent. Bite me
Hey, its sent. Bite me
Not criticizing anyone - just stating an observation.

Is this going to be the only one that gets delivered today?

Just got my quote from the shipping department. I did a double take and had to ask her to repeat herself, because I didn't believe it the first time. WAY less than I was expecting.
I thought $100 was outrageous, do you have that beat?
under 5 dollars for 3 day shipping of a 13lbs package (dims: 24"x15"x15")
How much did all of you spend on shipping? Mine was $18 to ship from CA to the east coast. 20x14x8 and 3lbs.
WTF?! Do you work for the shipping company or something?? I worked for UPS for a couple years and thats a killer deal.

No idea. My wife shipped it from her office.
I didn't pay for shipping. I hand delivered my gifts.
No, but for a non-manufacturing facility (R&D, corporate type stuff as well), we do absurd amounts of shipping. Its not uncommon for us to send/receive a few pallet loads of samples a week (and that's just my department). We also ship things internationally overnight on a regular basis. Let's just say we get EXTREMELY good corporate discounts.
Granted, I've never personally shipped anything this large, so I wasn't sure what I was gonna get charged. If I had known it would've been this cheap I would've overnighted it.
joblessness does that
I had to spend 68 bucks to send a 3 lb package to canada. it would have been 94 bucks to send it faster.
Wowza.
USPS says that:
Starting to fear that the package will be late....
Canada Post says that the package as leaved Canada....

I bought "local to my elf" from Ben's Cycle in Milwaukee - still paid the priority mail charge to get the items to TN. However it was a cool way to be sure that the stuff will arrive to the elf on time. Might be a good tip for future Secret Santa years.
Find a good shop in the person's hometown and order from there. It would not allow for creative box decorating, but it would provide for timely deliveries.

Mine was around $13 to ship. Shipping is so expensive!!!! I shipped some gifts to my nephews on the east coast and shipping was more expensive than the presents!
My package is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow to my elf.
This holiday season has been such a blur of packing and working and running around that I don't think I included any identifying marks
- the packaging was going to be tell-tale but it didn't happen.
I'm away from my shipping address right now, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if I got anything.
