Maybe my SS found out I was naughty this year...lol.
Aww, don't feel bad. I haven't gotten any elf messages either. :-(

 
My lady's box has been delivered!  I think I am just waiting for her to come home from work or school or running errands or something!  I can't wait to see if she liked her gifts!

 
My gift is here! Thank you [@]jenniferrose[/@]! I love everything and the box smelled so good when I opened it up thanks to the Lush solid shampoo. I wanted to add pictures but will have to do so later because mobile is not behaving.

My SS's package was delivered to her house today. I hope she got everything okay and that she liked it all. I'm afraid she hasn't posted anything because she didn't like it....
That is absolutely NOT possible.  I'm sure she's just not home, sick, too busy or something.

 
No SS gift for me yet. Called my grandma and asked her and she said no. Dead SS, I will post as soon as I can rip into it so you don't have to worry!

 
I got a tracking number from an elf last week with a delivery date of today...just picked up the mail and no package :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Also, tracking hasn't updated since the 11th...

UGH, USPS is really sucking this month. Glad I paid for 2 day shipping, USPS...if she doesnt get it tomorrow I'm going to kick you. Yes, I'm going to kick the entire postal system. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hope you get yours asap, too :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay!  I have been obsessively tracking it all day, I'm just relieved that it got you!

 
It makes me sad when people talk bad about the USPS. This is probably mainly due to the fact that my mom is a letter carrier for the USPS and I know just how INSANE everything is this time of year. On a normal day she should finish delivering on her route by 4pm, but I don't think she's been home earlier than 7 since before thanksgiving. No joke she was out until 10:45 one night delivering! It's kind of hard to read addresses when it's pitch black by 4 and your truck has no interior light.... BUT I'd say most of the scanning issues are due to insanely high volumes of mail going out this time of year. There could be a lag. Also I wouldn't be surprised if someone just forgot to do a scan. Just like sometimes you see one scan x3 bc someone sorting either forgot if they got it or hit the scan key more than once. (Monday is their worst day of the week in terms of how much they must deliver. Hang in there and be patient even though it's hard! I know

I called usps a little while ago about a tiny Amazon order that fell off the face of the earth two weeks ago after it was shipped, and I made sure to thank the woman I spoke to for all the extra hard work they were doing for us this holiday season.  She seemed genuinely touched, but I really feel for the people working to make sure we get all these packages and I try to thank them when I can.

Speaking of which, they were delivering when I got home, so if I have a package I don't know about it yet.  : o

 
Same here! They really have to put up with a lot of crap from people who can be really mean. I make sure to give my carrier a nice tip every year around this time. It's the least I can do for making her schlep dozens of packages to me in the summer heat, freezing rain, etc

I ADORE my USPS carrier..she is hands down one of sweetest, kind hearted, most genuine people I know. I've been giving her little goodies and treats pretty much every day this week, and will continue to do so through Christmas. I'm really going to try and make it a point to do something special for her every month in the coming new year, as well :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
I love my mail carrier, too. He's great about always bringing my packages right to the door, makes sure it's safe, etc. He's great!

Doesn't make me any less frustrated that my girl hasn't gotten her gift, though. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for the idea on what to get Bill (our mailman)! By 3:30 PM the sunsets here and right now it's 4:50 PM and it's essentially night time and very dark even with the almost full moon. This is our last year here since we're moving across country and Bill has been our mailman (we've lived in this neighborhood) since the twins were about a year old and they're now 10. My eldest graduated from high school this past June and we moved to our previous house (same neighborhood but about four or five blocks away) when she was in the 3rd grade so yeah... about nine years this March if I recall correctly. I need to find one of those clip-on lights for hats because he wears in the winter those mail person hats with the ear muffs while in the summer he wears a postal baseball cap. I'll have to make sure it's under $20 due to the postal restrictions.
