Lore Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 NOV 1st - UPDATE 3 Pm's sent, we have 172 Secret Santas from everywhere! thanks a lot guys and don't forget to send the cards some important reminders: * Don't reveal your match to anyone! * If you have a question, please contact the elf that sent you your match, so we can maintain secrecy for everyone * If you do have a question or problem, we will do our best to help, but you might not get an immediate response... we've had a pretty hectic weekend * Don't post a picture of the card you are sending or it might spoil the surprise for the recipent... we can post pictures of the cards we recieve later on * Don't all send your cards tomorrow! Check with your local post office how much you delivery will cost and how long it will take to arrive at it's destination... we'd like everyone to recieve their cards by December 15th if possible but it would be a bit daft if people were getting Christmas cards in the second week of November * Once you have posted your card, send a confirmation PM to Santa with something like "Card sent" in the subject box _________________________________________________________________ useful links: German letter transit times: https://www.deutschepost.de/dpag?tab=1&skin=hi&check=yes&lang=de_EN&xmlFile=1016707 (thanks SueDeNimes) Canada mailing dates: http://www.canadapost.ca/dec/holiday/mailingdates-e.asp (thanks anita_hype) Pour les français voici la page où vous trouverez les infos pour vos envois !

PianoRocker Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Great idea, but those shipping things are kinda frustating.. maybe something on the forums here or somewhere else over the internet? Maybe like those signs as lately.. not exactly the sings but the idea of it.. or making a photo of yourselfs with a christmas card created by their owns for Coldplaying members? Don't know, it sounds kinda weird :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i'maveryneatMonster.' Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Is it in me? Nah, you giving your kids their presents fooling them by telling them that magic santa came, ate your food and put them under the tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 still don't know what we can do, I just want to know how many of you would be interested in something like this. the ones who sent postcards to coldplay last year probably know about shipping costs, sending a postcard for example is not that expensive, just around a dollar I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGirl76 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 It would be cool to send "holiday" card. Not everyone celebrates Christmas but we'll all be moving in to 2010. It's hardly "shipping" to send a card. It's very cheap, wherever you're sending it to. I've swapped postcards with a few Coldplayers since the PFFA project, it's fun to get mail from another part of the world. I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in, too! :) as for shipping, can't speak for other parts of the world, but when I sent copies of LRLRL out to Switzerland and Australia, it only cost around $2 each. Really cheap, I thought. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
