N&G Secret Santa - 2020

[gouis]

My Santee will get theirs in two batches in the middle of next week. Exciting times!

 

[Thackeraye]

Picked! Ordered via a record store local to my Santee, so hopefully they aren't freaked out by a Scottish person ordering stuff!

 

[trickyseven]

Gifts are on their way! Two packages coming in the next week or so Santee!

 

[Jake!]

Just waiting on one more thing, and then I'll have my package ready to go!

 

[bshikari]

Gift bought! Now we wait for movement! Really excited about this one!

 

[Mtcvinyl]

Waiting on one more delivery so I can gift wrap everything and repackage to my Santee! Hopefully in the mail on Tuesday.

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

I ordered my Santee’s gift a couple of days ago & it’s now on its way! I hope they like it... *starts fidgeting*

Dear Santee,

After obsessively perusing your want-list and collection, you are getting:
1. A want that would be interestingly stick-out-like-a-sore-thumb-like with the rest of your collection
2. An album that makes perfect sense in your collection that I love and would fit PERFECTLY in the rest of your collection

One of them arrived today, and the other I expect Monday.
I hope I can provide tracking to you by Wednesday

 

[Sonicpharmacist]

Dear Santee,

Your records are coming to me first. One left Columbus, OH on Wednesday, another left Indianapolis yesterday, and the third left Los Angeles yesterday. All are scheduled to arrive to me this coming Wednesday, and will be shipped to you shortly afterwards!

Dear Santee -

The package was mailed today - since it has some extra things it couldn't be sent media mail so you'll get it a bit quicker.

You can open it whenever you feel like - but I would open it sooner rather than later.

My P.O. always reminds me when sending out media mail that an invoice is fine, but any actual correspondence isn't allowed and could be subjected to a search.

I don't know if that is actually true, but I didn't want to find out.

 

[greeny400]

Dear Santee, delivery will be on/ before Thursday. There is no indication it’s from me unfortunately, but I will let you know when it’s arrived!

 

[bshikari]

First portion of the gift shipped! Should arrive tomorrow!!

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

I don't know if that is actually true, but I didn't want to find out.

If that is true I am fuckt cuz yeah.

 

[dhodo]

If that is true I am fuckt cuz yeah.

I think it's only an issue if they decide to open it up and inspect it, which I'm guessing they pretty much never do with record mailers, since I have never experienced one that was retaped in all the mailers I've received. Probably more an issue with something that is suspiciously not a book/record, but who knows. Maybe I will slip my note inside a jacket.

Edit: I suppose the affordable alternative if one doesn't want to break the rules is to send anything that isn't media in a separate envelope, which should be much cheaper than paying non-media rate for the records.

I sent a non-N&G friend a couple of records with a pair of socks enclosed in the mailer. I figure, record labels send out bonus shirts, stickers, posters, pins, etc., out with media all the time and I've never noticed it being an issue. Hopefully that will be true of my package as well.

 

[Joe Mac]

Woooo Santee your part 2 is now on its way! I was worried it took so long to dispatch! Hopefully it arrives soon and you like it! You should figure out it was me from this one...

 

[virtualcratedigger]

Dear Santee,
I have a few of your goodies for Secret Santa in transit and will ship as soon as I get them. One is a pre-order that's scheduled to arrive the week before Christmas, so I'll ship in two batches.

And then you have Sleeve City sending out sleeves via Media Mail all damn day...

Exactly!

After much deliberation, I have ordered the records that I *hope* my Santee will love. Gonna pick them up from my local early next week and get it sent off!
