Trying to streamline the process this year, please read the rules and instructions carefully. I did not save anyone's info from last year, so even if you played before, you will still have to send me all of the info listed below. I am using the same email as last year, automotiveinsanity2016@gmail.com Important Dates: Friday, November 16th - REGISTRATION CLOSED. Friday, November 23rd - All pairings will go out by end of day. Friday, December 7th - Ship-by Date: Ideal ship-by date. PLEASE do everything you can to have your gift on its way on or before this day. Sunday, December 23rd - PoniesAteMyBagel-Day (Deadbeat Cut Off): If you have not provided proof of shipping by this date, you will be considered a deadbeat and will be banned. Make sure you post pics after you get a package, someone went through the trouble and expense to send something to you, thank them! Registration: -Please send the following info in the same format to automotiveinsanity2016@gmail.com. Subject Line must include your forums username and only your forums username. -Username -UserID: (this can be found by clicking on your profile and copying the number string at the end of the url -http://forums.somethingawful.com/me...userid=________) -Shipping Label Name: (what you want me to send your Santa for him to slap on the shipping label. Real names, fake names, etc) -Shipping Address: (please include all special info here for deliveries. Indicate if a signed delivery will be required for security reasons and I'll let your Santa know early) -Santee Shipping: Domestic/North America/International (pick one). I only set this as there are a handful of countries that usually get involved, and it mainly boils down to Canada/US/UK/Nordic Countries/Australia. If it says Domestic and I see you're in Australia, I'll get it. Your email must have the above information in the order it is listed or i will email you and tell you to reformat it and try again. Then, you make a post in this thread. In your post please have: - Any specific requests. If you don't want dicks drawn on the box say so, but I'm not making any promises. - You may include an optional "do not send" list. Have enough T-shirts, maybe mention you'd prefer a neat little HF gadget/tool than another XL funny car guy t-shirt. Proof of shipment rule -No proof and your santee doesn't get a package? You're a deadbeat. When you ship your gift, you must provide proof of shipment. automotiveinsanity2016@gmail.com with the username of the person you're buying for and the tracking information. If anything goes pear shaped, at least we can figure out where. If you live near your santee and want to drop it off yourself, email me and tell me that you did. -You must provide proof of shipment before the deadline. Please put the tracking number in your email. If you do not have a tracking number, you must EMAIL me a photo/scan of the shipping receipt. - If you hit any speed bumps, have any questions, or need anything at all you can email or PM me. Accepted types of proof - Tracking number from UPS, Fedex, USPS, Canada Post, whatever - Photo or scanned image of your shipping receipt with your username written on it. Most receipts have the zip code of the recipient, so this is how I will check these. Gift cost -Try and keep your gifts in the $20-40 range. Make sure you account for shipping cost. If you can't afford gift plus shipping, please don't register. - Please do not spend stupid amounts of money on gifts for someone on the internet. Unless you're incredibly wealthy, have some sort of personal relationship with them, or it's loving hilarious and fills you with joy to send - If you will be moving or traveling a lot during a gift time, please say so in your email and/or post so that I/your santa knows when and where is the best time to send your gift. If you have ANY questions, concerns or anything you need at all. Please PM or email me! Donations of scotch for dealing with all this are welcome!

I haven't got a chance to go through emails yet but just an FYI, if you live anywhere outside the USA and choose domestic only shipping, the list of potential santees is usually pretty slim so you may get the same person as last year. I will try to work it out so you don't, but if you're able to pay a little extra for shipping consider it.

InitialDave posted:I am most of the way there with a package, but I'm trying to avoid sending it until the person I swapped with has got theirs to iForge, otherwise he'll know who they are based on who I'm sending stuff to. You don't owe me shipping confirmation due to the circumstances if that makes you feel better about sending it, your call.

I am a horrible human being and it took me far too long to post these pics, its a hectic time of year and I sincerely apologize! I came home from work to two boxes. Something appears to have tried to escape.  A BOX OF BEES!!!!  Just kidding!  A note!  A broken Goodman control board. Theyre always broken.  Sekret sauce I can't wait to try  LEGOs!  Booze!  A gerber shard mini pocket tool! Awesome!  A very very heavy volvo clutch assembly, this will get hung on the garage wall as a warning to other vehicles.  Booze has been cataloged and filed to be sampled soon.  Thank you so much Toplitzin!!

Sorry for being a bit of an absentee landlord this year, life got busy quick. If anyone has not received a gift AND has not received an email from me about it, please send me an email to notify me and I will get it sorted out for you.

Bajaha posted:Second Package has arrived! I repeat, Second Package has arrived! It actually took 3 tries to ship that package, I am so sorry it took so long. The first was a failure by USPS, the second time it sat at a 3rd party shipping company slated for fedex shipping until they called me a week later to tell me they couldn't ship it Fedex for an unknown reason but could do it DHL for double the cost, so I took it to Fedex directly and finally got it to you. I will skip the middlemen from now on and go to fedex directly next year for international shipping. The brass piece is a strainer for hydronic systems but I use them for oil more than anything, the sockets on it will take a standard 1/2" copper pipe. The pipe cleaner is a regular battery post/clamp cleaner. I do not know what Fedex did, but that is not the box that I shipped the items in, though nothing is missing. I am glad it all came to you intact, though inexcusably late. Merry Christmas! iForge fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Jan 12, 2019 |
