I'm still waiting on one of my Santee's gifts to get to ME. Starting to sweat that one. I should be able to get it out the day after I get it though. Should still be before Christmas to help maximize merriment.

Same here, Amazon's local courier really dropped the loving ball this year, I had guaranteed delivery for the loving 27th.

I'll ship as soon as I can, if I'm late Santee I am super sorry :smith:

I've had "just the right sort of thing" in my head for a couple weeks but haven't found it; will have to compromise on "just pretty good." I promise I won't grinch and if I wind up shipping later than end of this week, I'll be paying for super-premium shipping.

Hoping to get my stuff sent out this week as well, I just thought of something that'd match my santees interests since what I'd got so far was a bit generic but now I need to source it. First time doing international shipping so I need to get it out in time for Aus post to lose the parcel and find it after a week.

Hope you enjoy it! Saw how much you have been enjoying BOTW and it seemed like a fun change of pace. Sorry for not being more interesting/creative, I am in house remodeling hell right now and wanted to get something cool on your doorstep without further delay. :(

The last of my stuff is supposed to show up Friday. Unfortunately my postal carrier doesn't show up until like 8pm, and everything is coming via USPS, so it'll be going out Monday unless I can cram everything into a flat rate priority mail box and drop it off Saturday (my local PO doesn't have counter service on Sat, but they accept flat rate priority mail in their regular drop).

Because of Amazon saying that my gift ain't arriving here until the 12th of January I've had to change gears and it might be sometime next week I get stuff sent out. Working 7am-7pm mon-thurs this week isn't helping either.

First part finally showed up... originally wasn't supposed to be here until next week, then it wasn't supposed to be here Wednesday. Apparently it's been in my mailbox since yesterday. :doh: For whatever reason, informed delivery didn't tell me about it, and eBay didn't send the delivery notification until the middle of the night (also I'm just lazy and don't check my mail often...)

Everything I planned to get locally has been acquired. Just waiting on a couple of other things from eBay now.

Which channel in particular is that? I found one that seems similar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQBh9soLSkI - I'm digging it.

You guys might like the chillhop station on di.fm too. I keep that running in the car for a good part of the day.

Well, I got an email from Amazon saying that my order has shipped. Still says expected arrival is January 12th but I'm gonna hold off shipping out anything until next Friday just in case it arrives. Sorry Santee, it'll be a touch late but it'll be on its way soon.

I think this is a new speed record for Auspost, 2 days to get a package ~100km! Surprised it didn't bounce between Melbourne and Sydney for a week.


Thanks for the packing peanuts, they were delicious! They actually taste loving awful if anyone hasn't tried eating one, I wouldn't recommend it.

Oh, there was a note and some other stuff in the box as well:

A wicker/cane storage box
A battery charger that the note informs me was borrowed and never returned
An Ardbeg branded leather card wallet
A Carlton stubby cooler
A Milwaukee torx driver set
A fuel gauge from Doug the EH Commodore
A set of leather Wild Turkey coasters
Some Wild Turkey branded playing cards in a metal tin
Mini bottles of Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Connemara whisky/whiskey
An absolute shitload of stickers! There's a bunch of cool designs like the insignia of the cult of the V8, a sticker that's dyno proven to add 5 HP, and my absolute favourite being the one visible on the right that says "If I crash upload my strava".

Thanks heaps slothrop. I really hope a lot of it was vendor swag cause it would've cost a mint otherwise. The torx driver set is gonna go in the car, the focus uses torx screws all over the place and my existing driver in the car toolkit is non-magnetic which makes using it frustrating. I've been meaning to get a card wallet for ages to clear the lesser used stuff out of my main wallet so that's perfect. I've recently been getting back into standard card games so another pack is always useful, especially given the tin is actually sized for the deck. This'll replace the one I have at work that rattles around in its oversized tin. Until now I only had one stubby holder and no coasters so those will be useful. Also, while whisky and vodka were my standard drinks when I was younger I've never tried anything fancier than JD so I can finally correct that character flaw. Those stickers are brilliant, I really want to put the strava one my cyclocross/commuter bike, just gotta find somewhere where it can adhere properly and wont get covered in mud.

Thanks for the battery charger but I already have one so if you want that one back I can drop it off next time I come through the mountains. The car battery was well overdue for replacement and was sorted the next business day, I still haven't bothered diagnosing the bike but I'm pretty sure it's a dead reg/rec since that's a known issue on DRZs and the battery is only a few months old.


Now I'm kinda guilty I haven't had a chance to send out my gift yet, I've got everything sorted and it'll be dropped off at the post office tomorrow morn.

Glad you like the stickers! They were the only thing I paid for and I got em like 75% off on a Black Friday deal (now that I say that I'm hoping I didn't leave the invoice in there :rolleyes:)

You were such a great SS last year I was stoked to get you this year! I was hoping to get a chance to deliver personally but it was looking unlikely so I committed it to AusPost.

As for the battery charger, if you don't need it, at some point you'll know someone who will. Pass it on.

Sadly Doug is for sale now, through the Sunday Motors guys. Hopefully he finds a good home

E: I forgot to say, I expect sticker photos in the chat thread when you find a home for them! No obligation to use the ones that were obviously free or from my work :v:

I'll make sure to put some photos up when I sort out what's going where, no wuckas. And you didn't leave the invoice in, but even at 75% off custom/low run stickers are still pricey anyway so rest assured I appreciate it.

DHL ballparks the package getting to me on the 12th. So much for making the soft cutoff. gently caress. I should still be able to get it out on the 13th though and it's staying domestic so it should still reach it's final destination before Christmas.
