AnnaElisabeth Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I still haven't gotten mine! (At least I don't think so - I've gotten a lot of cards from my friends on here and it might have been one of those but then again I'm sure they would have put 'Secret Santa' on it...) :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumbersGirl Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've just got my card :dance: along with some suprise-gifts :dance: Thank you soo much, Daia :) Here are some pics: Everything came in this lovely box: Here's the card along with 4 wonderful butterflies, a great pic of Chris from the Sao Paulo gig, confetti butterflies from the gig and the artwork for Christmas Lights :) Thanks again for everything, Daia! :surprised: Oh, that's so cool!

coldplay_is_louve. Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 This should be private from now on or something like that. Only people who've successfully sent their letters in the past should be allowed to participate, so everyone's happy. Just a thought. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the newcomers? Maybe they'd like to join in... I participated last year as well and my card arrived in 5 days, but now, after 1 month my card still hasn't reached its destination :( I suppose the mailing system is messed up everywhere because everything's been a lot slower than usual. Anyway, all hope's not lost just yet. :) I assume people should be receiving their cards next week, at least this is what I hope.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 If it's more the postal service than people being lazy than I completely agree, that wouldn't be fair. :nice: I'm just afraid there are people that sign up just to get a present, with no intention on sending to who they get. They should come any minute now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 This should be private from now on or something like that. Only people who've successfully sent their letters in the past should be allowed to participate, so everyone's happy. Just a thought. :shrug: I think that people who never sent the card shouldn't be allowed next time but newbies should be allowed I guess. We'll definitely try to improve this but this year we did it even earlier than last year and still lots of people haven't received anything :( we can't control lazyness and postal service problems :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah, I understand. I just wish there weren't so many disappointed people who sent their cards out and got nothing in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 same here :( I just hope in most cases the postal service is slow. I haven't received 4 cards people sent to me in december :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be said, there are cards just arrving now that were sent in the middle of December - a few people in my half of the list didn't send their cards until one or two days before and after Christmas. Those cards were never going to arrive in time, they'll probably get there next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I sent mine around nov 28th and it arrived in Denmark around december 6, but I know that if I'd have sent it around dec 5th probably it'd be still travelling, maybe next year we should send cards earlier because for example I sent a card to Croatia around dec 8th and it's not there yet :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxKels Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 "I'm just afraid there are people that sign up just to get a present, with no intention on sending to who they get.'.... Is this just a tad bit harsh ?:confused: I mean, I spent a small fortune sending not just a card, but lovely gifts as well, as I adore the person I got, and was/am quite excited to put a smile(hopefully) on their face. All i hoped for was a card from a cool, far away country and maybe a new friend ! (still no card for me yet) But if that's the attitude here, screw it ! WHERE'S MAH FECKIN PREZZIE ! :veryangry2: :( joking/of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I suggest setting a cut-off for postage by the 1st December. That way it's got 3 and a bit weeks to circle the world and hopefully arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxKels Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Well, mine, and the person I sent a package to seems lost. This is ridiculous, where do they go to ? Mine I sent must have crossed through the Bermuda Triangle ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that our counties post officeies dont know where the other country is. thats the only explanation! it took 2 months last year for me to recive your card. edit. why is my post roled as a question???

Cobalt Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 A note to those who sent a parcel (bubble envelope mailers etc) I hear that your delay is likely to be due to customs. Customs are apparently checking EVERYTHING coming in in at least USA and Australia, possibly other countries too. Also because with the UK snow delay the posties have incompetently chosen to deal with the mail on top of the pile first. Mail fuckery all around the world!
