There is no hard minimum. It's if you bought something thoughtful and tried or 50.00
My gift probably won't make it in time for Christmas since it was delayed reaching me due to snowstorms in my area, but it will be shipped by Friday.
Shout out to SlasherMcGirk for the wicked present!
I love this thing, especially the hot-glue puddles that form the drool. Here he is tucked among my other desk flair at the office.
Sorry I didn't post sooner, but both this and the card you sent kind of got lost in the shuffle of the torrent of packages that are always arriving at my house and I didn't even know it was there. I appreciate the code in the card, but it doesn't seem to want to work at Hero Forge 😦
I don't suppose you still have it handy to compare against what's in the card?
Glad you like it, i thought it was really cool too. Kinda jealous. That sucks about the code. I'll post you my confirmation email when i get home. I have never heard of hero forge and as a fellow dnd player i am very interested in it. Also big thanks as one of your wish list items The Mysterious Package company was the perfect gift for my out of state brother. I never heard of it but i know he will be super excited. So thank you and happy holiday dude.
I have a 3d printer, and I've been printing out Heroforge models for myself and for my players, and they've all turned out really well! Everyone has usually been able to make a pretty good approximation of their characters no matter how unique.
162, just for shipping? Holy balls.
Europe -> Canada last year was like 25€
does your TT live on the moon?! 😅
Canada post fucking sucks man :(
Last year it cost 80 dollars just to ship to New York. This year my TT is off continent so I knew it was gonna be bad but didn't realize it would be that bad. They actually originally quoted me 80 dollars if my package was under 2kg but because it was 200 grams over shipping suddenly doubled. I had the option of sending it by ship for 100 bucks but I would get no tracking info and it would take several months to get there. Wasnt about to do that to my TT so had to go with the 162.
It's a real bummer because if shipping here continues to be this brutal I don't know if I'll be able to participate next year. Either that or send everything through amazon I guess but I always like to send local things as well :/
Hi Santa, I've opened the first part of my gift - thank you so much for the book and Australian food! There's so much! I've never been to Australia so most of this is new to me. All I've tried so far is the vegemite, which is absolutely lovely!
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is one of my favourite plays, but I've never actually read the book so I'm looking forward to that as well!

Canada terrible shipping costs fam. This might be my last year too :(
Wow. Yeah 160 is crazy man. I opted for full international so I knew it could get quite high. Ended up shipping within EU so it was relatively Cheap.
But I can imagine having to pay that much kinda takes the fun out if it....

Ive said it before, but I think a screenshot of a receipt should be enough for the international pool. Tracking is double the price. If people aren't willing to take the risk maybe make two international pools, one for tracking and a cheaper one without it. I don't mind paying the tracking, but I'd hate to know how much it cost my Secret Santa to post to me
Still haven't heard from my TT yet, but hopefully they got it as it said it was delivered... Also my fault for forgetting to PM our esteemed organize though I did use Elfster for the tracking info.
Hope to hear from my TT soon though...

Since I'm always international, I have to come up with creative ways to make sure I minimize shipping costs without losing tracking. Last year, I lucked out and got a great deal on shipping via Fedex. Got my stuff to my Tiny Tim before Christmas for under $100.
I'm finalizing my shipping plans and hopefully my Tiny TIm will get his gifts by Tuesday just in time for Christmas.

It's crazy that adding tracking is such an upcharge for many of y'all. Crazy how the various postal services work.
Nice to see package arriving at people's places already. Pics Pics Pics! 📷
My Secret Santa is kinda ghost (of christmas past!) ing me ...
Hmmmm, i wonder if it's because i kinda dunked on Anime in my 'wish list'.

Ok. So I had a quick peek at the box, and found a wonderful Card and more.
Will 'unwrap' it at a later time but For now at least this!
Have to prep stuff for kids' school xmas dinner first :)

My TT's gifts are in the mail!
I haven't had any word as far as tracking from my SS but I kept mine intentionally hidden from my TT so I can't complain.
The surprise makes it fun!

damn it, I hate the USPS, sent the package yesterday and still somehow in "Label Created only" in their system
Your package must have been under 2kg. Over 2kg and it goes insane, especially if you're late mailing it and need express shipping.
Just got shipping info and it's coming tomorrow. Either my guy splurged on shipping or he lives very close to me.
I will find you.

Got my amazing gift from secret Santa. Thank you so much it was perfect. And the perlas that were homemade touched me really much. I cant wait till my gift gets delivered.
gets delivered.

Good to see everything arrived safely. The box scared me with the glass/ceramic being in it and bulging it a smidge, and I feared the cornbread box (I really should have looked harder for a better box rofl) would collapse in onto the beads. Basically, I overthink how things can go wrong lol.Got my amazing gift from secret Santa. Thank you so much it was perfect. And the perlas that were homemade touched me really much.

Hope you get to enjoy a great game with the cards, and glad you liked the gifts! I have to ask though, have you tried the jelly? I know it's an "off" gift, so don't feel bad if you haven't/don't want to/don't like the taste. :p
The Jelly was perfect I love flavors like that. I was convinced you had some how talked to my wife and she told you what to get me. That was how perfect the gifts you got me were. I was even happy when I pulled the box out and saw the cornbread stuffing mix I love that stuff.
Phew. My gifts for my TT have just been ordered and shipped. Hope you like them, TT.
I haven't received any notice or package from my SS either, but I get it, it's hectic this time of year. I may not have provided a ton of info on my lists. If you haven't sent them yet or are still hung up, just PM me, or have someone PM me.

It's just something to prepare for. And best is to split shipment into a few items, so local candies etc are the small under 2kg package and order some other goodies off amazon/ebay etc.
Its madness, im shocked that only 4 of us signed up for EU only. Maybe next year it will be a bigger pool.
Hmmm, i always sign up for full international and have been matched with Canada, US, UK, and NL and shipping prices were never that bad.
If i know i have to ship transatlantic, i make sure to purchase stuff way ahead of time so i don't need to pay for expedited shipping.
I'm reading these shipping costs and I feel for y'all. I went to deliver my TT's gifts at FedEx since USPS was already closed by that time and I was quoted $100+ and that's for 7 day+. Waited til next day and sent it out USPS for $23 and some change the kicker was that it's getting there much faster with signature!
How does this work for tracking info? Do I just pm my TT?

I also spent 63 Euros on shipping myself. I expected about as much, still a bummer that in order to send a relatively small package I need to spend almost as much as the gift itself costs sometimes. You'd think that in this day and age the costs wouldn't be so high.
My shipping costs weren't too big ($30-ish for 500g) but, out mail system is the absolute -worst- for tracking and it's basically useless. I'm so eager for the parcel to arrive to the TT because I put a lot of work into them but heaven forbid they actually do tracking good so I actually know where it is.
Awesome — That was the biggest iffy part. I dug through all of your posts one evening, and saw nothing that spoke against it, but aside from a Taco Bell mention, nothing that spoke for spicy foods.
Maybe next time I partake in a SS I'll just leave the actual product in the "trick wrap" along with the gifts haha.
Merry Christmas to you and your wife/family, and I hope y'all have a great New Year!
You can also mark the gift as sent on Elfster and there will be an option to send tracking info.
I would do that but I want whatever I got my TT a secret! Did I use that list? Maybe. I just find it more fun that way.
