Come on little tea reindeer!
I am actually getting a little concerned. I have been following the tracking on the package I sent out, but, the last update on it was December 25, and at that point it was in New York. It is to go to Canada, but, because the tracking has not updated (or – what has me really worried – maybe the tracking is up-to-date and the package hasn’t moved since December 25), and because I haven’t seen my recipient say anything about the package having been received, I worry it’s lost somewhere.
I would contact the Post Office, but having done that before, I know what a horrible experience that can be. I hope that the package arrives soon!
At some USPS locations they don’t scan the tracking number so I wouldn’t worry yet. I’ve sent out packages where it was first scanned / received on the same day. In the end, if the package did unfortunately go missing, USPS will say they are sorry and tell you that you should have insured your package because there is nothing they could do about it.
Thanks Ricky. I do hope that the package is simply delayed due to adverse weather conditions (not that I wish adverse weather conditions on anyone), and that my recipient will receive her package intact!
I’m in the same situation as you. I think it might just be delayed. I would wait and see as some people are running into similar problems.
I’m in the same boat. I really hope that it is delayed and not lost!
Wow… OK… so it helps me breathe a bit better to know I’m not the only one whose package seems to be delayed (and lets hope not lost out there in la-la land.)
Thanks guys!
I do hope that everyone gets their packages! It was such great fun to open (and continue opening) mine! (Jaime individually wrapped the little samplers of teas so each one is a surprise!)
I got my package today!!! My Secret Santa didn’t leave their name, but based on the address and AmazonV’s list I think it was oOTeaOo. Am I right?
Sweet! Thank you so much for the awesome gift, it was worth the wait. :)
YEA! now hopefully the rest of the little reindeer start landing :)
From the looks of things Customs had their way with the package (this despite it having a Declaration slip). So that might explain why it took so long.
I got my package today! I think I can tell as well why it may have been delayed – first, it was coming all the way from the UK, but in addition the addresses (both mine and the return) were quite worn and difficult to read. Unfortunately that also means I don’t know who to thank for my lovely package of teas: a half-dozen different samples from Whittard of Chelsea plus a jasmine silver needle and manuka anti-oxidant tea. Fantastic gift, thank you!
Are we only missing two packages now?

(did i miss anything?)
Poor twiggles, you’re package is coming from Canada, hopefully it arrives soon!
Thanks! Yes, patiently waiting for mine! it’s supposed to snow again tonight, about a foot! let’s hope that this doesn’t slow down the NY postal service!
Eagerly anticipating the arrival of mine! Don’t think it’s going to snow here though, so it probably won’t be slowed down.
Nothing yet!! Oh well. Fingers crossed that it is very soon!
Re-sending my package today. Got new address to send it to.
Mine was bounced (for Alana237) because I didn’t have a phone number on it. It was resent early this week. Hopefully it gets there soon!
For international packages they generally require it, what I do is put my own number :D
Yay! Received my secret santa package arrived today – thanks Marcus! I received coconut pouchong, pu-erh and imperial formosa oolong! Yay!
YEA! excitement for Alana
twiggles you should have seen how long it took a an international tea swap to get to me once, two months! since the TTB just survived it’s international shenanigans i have great hope you little tired reindeer is coming in for a landing too!
