yep.
In my country it's safer to lie, and make sure the items are labelled as gifts.
Customs is hell sometimes.

In that case in my opinion you're golden. Poking fun at myself is how I survive with everyone else being buttlords
I'm of the same thinking now that I know - but without that info, the name could come across as insensitive, hence my initial shock.
All's well that ends well, I don't mind explaining my online handle but if people just assume I'm making fun of others who are less physically able that is when I get the hump.
Ditto on this. I'd like to send my TT a message before I start buying presents.
EDIT: Someone already reached out to me. Thanks.

I'm happy to help out with messages if needed! I'll be around all afternoon/evening.
Hi I've got my TT's gifts ready but I need help on how to make an international shipping label if someone could pm me to help.
I've been stalking my TT's posts obsessively lately, just making sure they don't post somewhere to say they already own what I've bought them. I thought for sure it was going to happen in a particular thread over the past couple of days, but luckily they didn't say anything.
You guys are pretty active here.
Been thinking about my TT. Should be going to pick everything early next week and ship by the end of it. Shouldn't be too bad and will arrive on time. OR, I can just pick a few things from Amazon, but I like that personal touch. Decisions decisions.

It's cool don't worry, these things happen. I guess my post came across a bit shitty.
All items bought for my TT, just need them to arrive, box em all up and ship em out. Always good to get it all out of the way early.
I want to let you know that this was sent from your SS.
apparently retailers are working FAST these days :)
No, I'm not your SS. :)

You're fine. I was really worried about this year because of the transition from GAF. It seems like things have gone OK for the most part...But there's ONE person signed up who I haven't been able to contact (via email or PM). I'm worried about it ATM.
Oof that sucks, sign me up for helping out in case someone gets shafted

Ah, were we supposed to? I mean, I never replied to the PM you sent me.....
Apparently the 'first part' of my gift arrived today from Matthewwhatever, and it was a Captain Phasma funkopop.
Once the rest arrives I'll do a photo post of the reveal, but holy hell that was fast, Matt, Thanks!
gotta get my ass in gear and research my santee now :P

Well when I message you asking if you're still activiely using the site (twice) and send you emails to your personal account asking what's up, yeah..You need to respond :lol
Nice! Yes, you have something else on the way that may or may not arrive before Christmas, but I didn't want you to go empty-handed and think you'd been forgotten about.
I saw on your Twitter that you're a Star Wars fan and a Funko Pop collector, so hopefully you didn't already have that one!
Has this person been assigned to someone as a tiny tim? Like are they gonna get sent some presents despite "leaving" ResetEra?
I've decided to make a small personal box for my TT too :D Nothing too big, mainly stocking stuffer-y things, as the main gifts will ship straight from Amazon, but I hate not being able to at least send SOMETHING not from Amazon for this SS
I'm gonna go out this weekend to get a couple little things, then hopefully send it off Monday! I'm holding off on the Amazon stuff so it doesn't get there too early >.>

Hurrrgh... So I've got all the items and a box now for all the items. And having a look at the customs form of what's allowed and what's not for this country... I've got a bit of problem with one of the bigger items I have for them. I need to contact an intemediary on advice of what to do, who should I contact about this?
Received the final piece of my TT's SS gift last night. Still need to purchase a card and then deliver it either late next week or two weeks from now once I recover from my marathon lol.
Ive always sent my packages around the 10th of December and theyve always made it to the states/canada on time, and thats just using royal mail, no specific delivery service.
Thank you my friend, I should easily have everything bought and sent away before the 10th.
Hah, Star Wars for sure, but funko pop figures I don't actively collect them except for a few randoms on my desk at work, on which Phasma now lives :P

The first words upon opening the box was HOLY SHIT!
This is way beyond what I expected. Both me and my wife thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this most generous gift BlackSalad. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
EDIT: Sorry, was on mobile before.

Was I supposed to put my name on the gift, or did I take "secret Santa" a little too literally?
You can always wait for your TT to post pics on here and then do a reveal then.
What was it!?

Hey, as long as you meet the requirements.
Sure it would be nice to get one of the SS that go above and beyond......
Hey now, don't be like that. I'm sure everyone will do their best to give a good gift. Some have more disposable income and of course it's great to see some TT's get spoiled, but this is not about the value of the gifts. It's about sending happyness and good will around the world.
What I'm saying, no pressure Secret Santas!

Holy shit, that's simply amazing. So much generosity, love it!
My budget doesn't stretch as far, but I'm 99% sure my TT will love the things I got for him/her :)
I've still got this customs issue I'm worried about on what items are going to be even allowed to be posted in their country, who should I PM About this? It's the last thing blocking me before I send my box of gifts out to the TT.
