Secret Santa 2019 - Completed

I understand the time it takes because you can never be to careful. But in this day and age with all the technology the process should be sped up a bit. They need to forget about the individual import fees and stick to the companies. Send it through the x-ray and have some dogs sniff it and send it on its way to the receiver.

@BigZwatt I hope you get your santa has sent your package and just hasn’t told anyone or is close to sending. I would like to hope that this is the year that every Santa comes through.

I think many packages are stuck in customs. It is one off the busiest days in the year and I think they have to check many packages.

I am more worried that it would arrive without damage

My package is pretty much bulletproof. Five layers of doublesided bubble wrap and a ton of paper worked it out.

I double boxed gift and it was a piece of wood. You would be amazed at the damage that I have seen happen because of shipping companies.

I’m talking like thick metal flanges snapped right off 1/4 thick aluminum. And mass spectrometers in a wooden crate skewered like a shish kebob from a forklift

The couriers do that sometimes as they cross into a new part of the delivery network. Often I get out for delivery notifications multiple times before it’s even left the country as it transits through the system.
