Heck, I'm not in the ge nor have I ever taken part, but I am still waiting for a parcel myself from a YT member for 2 little articles of doggy clothing where I didn't get an ETA but was told it was "packed and ready to be mailed" on May 25th when the payment was received via paypal (US$5 charged for shipping so I'm assuming USPS Priority). And this is being shipped within the USA... But I was going to wait for aother 3 or 4 days when it's clearly been 3 weeks or maybe a month before speaking up. LOL 
I hope the G/E stays fun for everyone. Since I wasn't participating, I was reading some of the posts to try to share some of the joy of the giving and receiving with everyone and get a better feel for it... but for one, I think I might be a little relieved that I did not participate though the beginnings of it certainly does seem fun! |
And thank god I did... I am so sorry... and see, I am glad I haven't named names as I am SOOOO embarrassed now. I can only blame so much on the hubby, but he had only just informed me that someone took our package mistakenly... rather, the delivery guy handed it to the wrong person (along with somthing else) and that was last week just as he escaped to another country. He is scheduled to return soon, so we can then hunt him down and make him spit out our goodies!
I generally like updating ppl whether they're recipients/buyers or senders/sellers on status immediately and ETA's and what have you no matter if there's tracking or not. All for everyone's peace of mind whether or not it was requested for.
Sorry for hijacking this thread to post my apology for an earlier embarrassing post.
