Which Reindeer do we blame this time? I have had issues before shipping other things to the UK. The delivery person didn't want to go down my best friend's street and marked it as "street not found". Turns out they were lazy. It'll be sorted!

This was my first time shipping to UK, so I'm not sure what to expect.

If it doesn't change by tomorrow, I may have to sent my Santee a PM.

Yeah I feel you on that. So far out of the few years I have been shipping to my best friend over there, it’s been decent. I’ve only used amazon shipping as shipping from VA to the U.K. is expensive for a tiny box! Only the one hiccup from all those times I’ve bought for them. Does it say which courier is delivering it if you don’t mind me asking!

Using the tracking # on Royal Mail gives me a link to Parcel Force

YEP! Same people who took an extra day to drop off a package with 3cds in it! You should be good for tomorrow. It’s either them or their mail service and both are a crapshoot! That’s why I’m ordering my best friend’s gift this weekend to be sure it gets there. Not related to this Secret Santa exchange!

Parcel Force are Royal Mail. They’re basically the arm of them that delivers priority stuff or stuff that’s too big to go in mr postman’s bag. They’re usually really good and don’t tend lose stuff. If you’d said Hermes or Yodel it’s hit and miss whether they’d have delivered it, stuck it in your hedge, stole it or just threw it in the bin...

Dear Santa,

Thank you for part 1 of my Secret Santa gift! I'm excited to throw this one on the turntable. I'm certain I know who you because the discogs seller's note had your name on it but I'll let you reveal yourself. He was nice enough to write Needles + Grooves Secret Santa gift Pt. 1 on the box, so I get to look forward to part 2. Merry Christmas!

Waves! Glad to see part 1 got to you safe and well.

Man, I had a logistical nightmare with this. I was on holiday in Melbourne when the list came out, so I was trying to work all this out on my phone. I stupidly couldn't use the Discogs app properly, so didn't see your collection until after I had done my shopping at physical stores, so didn't get you anything there. I was shitting it that I would miss Christmas if I got stuff delivered to the UK then on to the US, so I had to just run off your wishlist. Honestly, I know very little about this album, but it looked interesting enough to jump in.

Sorry you didn't get any extra bells and whistles with the records, and I hope you like them.

Cheers

G

Everything worked out great, thanks for taking time out of your holiday to send international Christmas cheer.

Looks like the record I got my Santee should be arriving on Monday... I feel bad now, though, because I had it shipped directly and it won't have any of the cool personal touches you guys gave to your packages!

I had to do the same thing. I didn't order through amazon, and I was scared that compounding shipping times by snail mail to me and then to my Santee would be cutting things too close. I felt a little bad re: the lack of arts and crafts. But it appears to have all worked out, though, in that my Santee has received their gifts and has expressed some levels of happiness!
