I'm trying to be all sneaky and not give up too much info about Santee, you see

DPD is a good shout, I've had loads of Amazon deliveries from them and its do good. They let me GPS track the drivers and see his list of drop offs before getting to mine

- Santa needs to know if the address you've given is a temporary one (e.g. family's house you'll just be visiting for the holidays) and, if so, when you are planning on being at that address and how long for. This is important as Santa is considering sending something semi-perishable.
ill have access to whatever is shipped there so dont worry about that

Just out of interest, do any UK people have experience with shipping internationally?

I'm guessing it would either be Fedex or UPS.

With domestic UK shipping you are probably better off with Royal Mail but I don't know what their international is like.

is there not a united states postal service kiosk near you?

liquor seems to be a popular gift so if you live in a place that makes it illegal to ship liquor to you, you might wanna say so

there is liquor control in all of the provinces of canada, and it is technically illegal for us to even mail liquor to each other (we do it anyway) so it is also illegal to receive it in the mail

:unsmith:

Seven years of working in an old folks' home has taught me more about memory-affecting disorders than I really wanted to know, so even though he's a total stranger to me I really do hope he fares well and doesn't get too sad or frustrated with himself. It's a tough row to hoe for everyone involved.
