So I think what the ppl do that run this event is outstanding. They can’t control what everyone does, but they still go to great lengths to secure backups for those that get shafted.

I know it’s frustrating waiting, but I also think people are getting too impatient. Since the event starts mid Nov (in efforts to give ppl enough time to purchase items) receivers expect something early.

A way to mitigate this is by postponing the start but then everyone will complain they don’t have enough time!.....haha

This is no bash or harsh comment to anyone on here. I only say this because even I have not sent my stuff yet to my giftee (although have no fear, it’s puchased, just not sent yet due to life and adulting haha)

We all have until the 25th . I hope people don’t get discouraged by those that send out gifts on 16 Nov. this is a great event and hopefully we can keep it going and growing every year!

Great work @TWSS and those that take part!

SS package has shipped. Recipient is somewhere cold as fuck. ETA hopefully Tuesday

I for one am getting tired of the haven't received mine yet stuff. I wasn't expecting to get mine until closer to Christmas anyways but my TWSS was on the ball. Some people are on the ball some aren't some may be waiting for things to arrive and shipping it all at once with a personal note attached. This is Christmas let us not forget what this time of year is about and not the receiving of gifts. Hell a group of us got together and surprised the shit out of another member by sending him some small gifts just because of the man he is and to show our friendship and appreciation to him. I see the time and effort people put into stalking their SS finding out about them and adding that something special that's what it should be about not just getting shit. We all live all over the country and in other countries there is no way to police or enforce this stuff. Hell for all you know they could be dealing with a life crisis and this is the furthest on their minds, or any number of other delays that come to mind (look at the multiple shipping issues people are posting). There is still a week and a half before Christmas be patient and stop acting like spoiled children.

Not really sure helping hands are needed. At some point the people participating have to keep up the gentleman's agreement on their end.

@TWSS collects names, spreads them among participants and then makes a thread for people to post recieving gifts.

No way for them to enforce making people post, to send gifts by a certain date etc. I know everyone wants to see the joy or disappointment the gifts they pick out brought their person. But there will always be people that don't post much, don't know this thread exists or are either nonchalant about it all.

The ladies and gentlemen who put this together have put in the effort and the work. Now it's just up to us as adult members to also do our parts. They can't hold our hands thru the entire process.

Just my worthless .02 cents.

@PzTank I have confirmation something from Rock Auto showed up. Sound accurate?

PzTank · Dec 13, 2018

Sounds about right but it’s a repurposed box

BTW, the stuff inside is not wrapped. Glad it got there

I’ll get to it eventually. Life is keeping me busy. I don’t know if I have time to go through 60+ pages tonight.
