I have emailed my registration for my third AI:SS For those hesitant and watching from the sidelines - don't! Join in, it is a lot of fun giving gifts to strangers on the internet! Should shirt size matter: slim fit large Vehicles: BMW M3 (I am basic as hell) Mazda6 beater Ford Flex familymobile I am a huge radio controlled car nerd as it is my hobby and job. I like small sized specialty tools, detailing stuff, BMW motorsports stuff (again, I am basic af), any local random foodstuff is fun to get. I am really good for whatever, just no booze/drugs/coffee as they won't be consumed. I have little kids around too so nothing directly  related but if there is a euphemism then more power to you.

Fermented Tinal posted:So, according to Canada Post, due to CUPW deciding to go on strike during the leadup to the holidays, it may be as long as March before international packages get delivered. Anyone who isn't in Canada, but has a Canadian santee should be aware of this. As someone that does a fair amount of shipping to Canada from my work can Canada Goons weigh in on what their preference is? Like FedEx Express (air) seems the right way to go but I think FedEx tacks on a small handling fee. I hear it can range from like $5-10. There shouldn't be any duties/customs because it is marked as a gift and the value would be low. I can confirm that standard 1st class shipments have been horrible for the past month and it has been bad for a long time. Some taking ~10 days for delivery, others taking 6+ weeks for delivery. We have actually halted all 1st class mail shipments to Canada unless by specific request because of such poor performance.

I will not make the soft shipping deadline, but have a plan to make sure the Santee gets the package well before Christmas!

I have most of the pieces, the other should show up tomorrow or Wednesday. My Santee should have his present by this weekend.

Fermented Tinal posted:And finally, thanks for the I’m so glad you got your gift! I was worried about Canada Post making it on time even with priority shipping and we use FedEx at my work all the time and it’s delivered in one business day which is pretty great. I couldn’t get any answers on if there is a ‘handling’ fee or not, some places said like $15? Other places said none so I went the safe route of reimbursement if applicable, and if not needed you can get rid of that awful red text and/or avatar and/or beer? The drivers are actually impact type! I figured that would be good for old Japanese steel needing persuasion. Americans love beating on Japanese steel with hammers. There was something magical(!!!???) in my mailbox on my arrival home from work. I have not yet opened it but will shortly and report.

This is one of the crispest notes I've seen in a long time, and I suppose I will have to get a new avatar since FedEx didn't charge me anything for the delivery.

BEHOLD! A wild package appears for ALL BMW ALL THE TIME  Showing that I am indeed living up to my reputation (MAXIMUM AMOUNTS OF BMW) I see that this journey is like the final saga of the Twilight movies and will come in two parts!  I needed something to split the seam of the cello tape. I found the most appropriate tool close at hand. The key of  MY key. The Bounty  A cornucopia of hand tools awaited me. Either I have posted more than I remember or this Santa of AI has personally rummaged through my tool set to know what I actually need. A Wera blade screw driver, a nice set of small jewelers type drivers including some very small TORX sized drivers that I actually need for my 1/5 car, and quality set of Vise Grips. These are all things that I lacked before this gift so quality stuff! A BMW emblem which I am sure was procured through no nefarious acts and a Turbo emblem that will have a magnet mounted to it and become art for my cabinet set. Thank you Santa! This is my third AI:SS and it was indeed a good one!
