@Tidgy's Dad

Your tracking information has been emailed to you.

Hope you can intercept it before it gets sent back. :fingerscrossed:

Me too. 

I spent four hours checking every possible local post office yesterday, to no avail. 

Thanks for the tracking detail, it's the French company Chronopost again, who have enormous vans and won't deliver in our pedestrianized medina and claim they can't find the address. That's also why i didn't have a delivery note and no one saw the mailman. 

It's a quick and easy journey Monday morning now.:)

SECOND PACKAGE???!!!  With the way you've been behaving this last year?

I'm surprised Krampus hasn't come to pull you down to the netherworld! ;)

I am so happy to see that everybody is as giddy as I am to see what they and the rest have gotten from their Santas.

Here's hoping you all get the dead thing of your dreams. :fingerscrossed:

Apparently there was an item that got left out of the first package. As for Krampus, he still has time to visit after he is done with you. B)

@Tidgy's Dad did you get my last email about your parcel being at the Machfes Post Office?  Hope you can get it tomorrow!

Yes, got the message. 

I have never heard of this at all. Neither has Google. This is very depressing. :(

It wasn't as simple as I thought, but after three hours of faffing about this morning, I have got my Secret Santa gift. 

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colissimo who are linked here to Chronopost. Neither will deliver to the 9,600 streets of Fes medina and the message that they had attempted a delivery is simply not true. 

And nobody has a clue what Mechfes is. 

Never mind. Got it now.

Thanks for your help, Doren. :)

That’s great mate and that another Santa delivery checked off. It is nice to open it on Christmas Day i think    :yay-smiley-1: 
 

When I get some deliveries form the USA sometimes when checking the tracking number it says “address can’t be found” I now know this means they did not have time to deliver it on that day and the next the delivery arrives . It would be less stressful if they just said the truth. 
 

All the best Bobby

Sometimes I have gotten packages in which the tracking stated "unable to deliver" and yet it is in my mailbox. I think at times the carrier hastily hits the wrong button on his scanning machine and goes about his way.

I got a big fat box today!  :yay-smiley-1:

I  am going to save it for Xmas Eve - that's when we open presents. It's very tempting, but I don't want to end up on Santa's naughty list.

 

Maybe I didn't read the rules thoroughly (this is my first time), but it had no return address on it. I didn't think of that and the box I sent out has identifying information. Although, my last name is not commonly known in the forums and there are lots of Mikes.

You mean your name isn't  Bone Daddy?

Which by the way sounds like a great jazzy blues saxophone player.

 

It's OK if you have your name on the package. The "Secret" aspect is that the reciever not know who it is coming from until they get it.  It's all good!
