CE.org Secret Santa!

depends which country you're sending to. If you were to send to AU in December, it may not arrive until after xmas??

I could provide people with USPS postal deadlines once I get them at work...of course this won't help anyone overseas much... lol...

Royal Mail posting deadlines are 5th December to Australia, and 12th December to Germany/Norway and 19th December within the UK. These are *all* for Royal Mail International Signed for deliveries and Royal Mail Tracked within the UK. I'd advise to get it posted slightly earlier than that anyway, due to post sometimes being SUPER slow with Royal Mail, but yeah, those are the last posting dates for UK members

Wow, really? ...ours are bit more leinient than that, I believe. All I know is mid-december is the busiest mailing day of the year. It's a Monday... and I always have to work. Probably Dec 12th this year. It's usually because it falls in the middle of some deadlines.

also, vhal, your PMs are full. :b

[vhal_x]

I have removed some PMs from my box so I've got a small amount of room now, and also, I've had to re-jig the Secret Santa slightly as one member has dropped out and one member has joined (I forgot to add him in, in the first place lmao)...

Would've been easy to sort, but unfortunately, they are both in different regions So check PMs incase you are changed And of course, don't post here if you are, just send me a PM back to acknowledge it, as you don't want everyone knowing who you have (or speculating haha) xx

I have yet to get my person's mailing information...

[AmericanBash]

Don't worry neither have I, she did say she would send them out once she got all of our addresses.

[vhal_x]

I'll send them out later on today, I think I have everybody's now, will have to check... So expect them around 7pm onwards (UK time) xx

Qwestion about "taxes" for some peeps. I know you can get hit by "tax" [depending on country/region] when receiving parcels you buy or get sent to you, so how do we avoid this from occurring? [if possible??]

[AJLareneg]

I know for sending from the US to other countries generally mark item as under $20 in value and as "gift" (which is all true in this case anyway...) and I found out from another member here it is helpful to not leave price tags/invoices or anything that would suggest value in the package...

but again since it is gifting that stuff shouldnt be there anyway..

Anyway, sending low value items should not irritate customs I would think.
