Santa will get here when Santa gets here. That much is certain. No worries.

I think I got mine in the mail today.  It was from a VM from Vermont.

 

This is going to be fun.  I can't wait till Christmas.

 

 

Wow, I must have been tired when I wrote this.  VM is from Delaware.Embarrassed

Every time my wife catches me looking at the box, she tells me to put it back. She's watching me close.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Bought mine and will be sent out this week.

 

I did get my Santa GB gift in the mail couple weeks ago. At least I can wait until Christmas Eve to open mine. LOL!

Glad it worked out for you.  Similar thing happened to me this summer.  I called the USPS, was told to call FedEx, was then told to call the USPS, then back to FedEx one last time.  It was a FedEx error in the end and eventually got the package to where it needed to go.

So, after all the hassle, the package I sent did arrive here in Nampa, Idaho and not where it was supposed to end up. I finally made contact with the United Postal Service and they are redirecting the package to the proper destination (fingers crossed it will arrive in time for Christmas).

I also recieved my package from my Secret Santa. I am dying to open the thing. My wife has already taken it and added it to the packages to be placed under the tree. Probably a good thing, that way my impatience doesnt get to me. Looking forward to finding out what I've got.

Oh how I despise Fedex and USPS. My order had the correct city and street address for the delivery to go to; however, the state and zip code were entered as my home zipcode, so now the package is being shipped to my local post office, instead of going to the intended recipient. Now, I have to wait for USPS to contact me so we can get it straightened out and hopefully still get it to the proper address in time. How hard would it be to have either FedEx or USPS confirm a location by searching online for it???? When I entered the address by street and city, it only came up as one location, which it was supposed to go to...pretty difficult!

Sorry guys, I am running behind.  My Secret Santa dissapeared into my spam folder but I found who mine  is.

 

Kit was just ordered and it is on it's way.  By the way I put Secret Santa into the address.  Just as a little help.

 

I am looking forward to this.  I also can't wait to see what everyone gets and the builds to follow. 

Now just waiting for my paint to come in to finish the Battle of Britian GB.

Sending mine out this week.  I think I spent more time picking this one out than I did my wife's gift!

Yeah, mine has been ordered and sent off. This is fun. I can't wait for my recipient to start after Christmas and watch their build.

That's the one and only downside of doing this by ordering offline and sending it directly. 

 

Everyone else, if you get something from Squadron, Spree Bros., Hannants, etc. that you don't remember ordering, DO NOT open until Christmas!

Postman arrived this morning with my new airbrush compressor and another box. I couldn't remember ordering the model but definitely one that I had looked at before. Nearly started it until I realised that it was from Hannants and then it all fell into place.

Thanks, you know who you are. Great kit and definitely up my street.
