Got my address 15mins before the post office closed; just made it, as the last customer, with them shooing everyone else off. Woo!

Gotta say, while I love our relative geographic isolation down here, it really sucks for getting shit in and out of the country; bloody int’l shipping.

Passing my tracking number back to Korver.

*excited*

Got my address just now, will get the package out tomorrow. Keep in mind that the post office is EXTREMELY back up. I have already shared several recent stories and have just as many new stories of delays to share if anyone is interested so lets try to get the package out in the next day maybe 2 if we want to get things arrived by Christmas.

Ho, Ho, Ho.......

Thanks for the idea and the opportunity to take part in it.

Its funny and crazy but first-class mail travels faster then priority at this time. Just received a package sent out 12/11 via first-class while package sent via priority on 12/10 is still in transit lol.

Easy to forget when we're caught up in the Christmas spirit :) but for safety reasons remember....
It's always best that addresses be either blacked out or removed before taking pictures.
I know, I know - it's obvious! lol. But I've seen it happen.

Good point oldfast and another one is to remeber not to open the package until Christmas then post a pic of it and the content.

My delivery is going out today. I will notify the recipient if it looks to be running late.

If someone receives a package from Alaska, everything within is wrapped so the outside mailer may be opened prior to Christmas. Thereby removing the need to obfuscate addresses.

Next Christmas we need to add Phone numbers, because they required it for international shipping, so i gave them a random number...

Was able to send out my gift today too :D

Wish it had been sooner, but that's the best I could do.

Thanks again for starting this Korver. And all the time in keeping it organized.
