Hi R8Steve,
Your SS parcel has been sent today Royal Mail signed for.
It consists of a Cardboard tube, which has two SS gifts inside it.
There is also a letter inside the tube, which gives information about the gift. There is an action on you to compete the one gift to fully enjoy it, the letter explains this.
Therefore it’s important not to open the tube as the letter and the individual presents are not wrapped separately.
It is covered in PH SS wrapping paper so should be easy to spot!
I hope you enjoy the gifts.
Ho Ho Ho.
My victims (GOG440) present has been sent today with Royal Mail ... as with most the minimalist outer packaging is fine to unwrap, the wrapped presents are contained within

Butterface - your present is on its way to you - feel free to open the exquisitely wrapped (!) outer to get to the even more exquisitely wrapped (!!) inner gift - this must be kept until Christmas day, opening it early will result in the fleas of a thousand camels infesting your armpits - Merry Christmas!

I’ve been a good boy Mr Geeks! Posted picture of my Present when received, posted my parcel off today ( naturally didn’t take a picture because it would be too much of a giveaway!) and I’ve even updated the wiki today now too! https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

I will send some PMs out shortly. Just about to pack up and head to Cardiff for a few days. Will do PMs from hotel in a bit.
On a different subject. I popped to the post office hard in hand and was presented with my gift for this year. Pics wil go up later
Going into a post office "hard in hand" is more likely to get yourself arrested than have them present you with a gift... On a different subject. I popped to the post office hard in hand and was presented with my gift for this year. Pics wil go up later
fail! Card in hand obviously. Damned autocorrect!So yesterday was a day like any other in the geek household, the wife was at work, I was working from home (I was, I swear!) anyway the wife arrives home from her days toil and reminds me that I have a parcel at the Post Office Sorting Office to collect. With C-A-R-D in hand off I jump in the wifes car (oh joy she needs fuel again) and make my way to our local sorting office. I hand the card over and the woman frowns, I muster a charming smile (its a pre-requisite in our SO otherwise you get given f
k all) and hand over my ID. She checks, wanders off with it, frowns again, taps some keys on a keyboard frowns some more, scribbles on the card and disappears. She returns (frowning, you wont be surprised to hear) with a trolley and a giant red parcel, she makes me sign, frowns again and hands it over before slamming the window shut.... and frowning while I took this!
So off I trot to home and plonk it under the tree and proceed to take a pic giggling as the wife rolls her eyes and gives me one of her "oh dear" faces as I push all the other presents out the way

I hope for your sake the naughty/nice columns look favorable!
There is a parcel en route, the brown outer box can be opened on arrival to reveal it's contents.
alorotom your package has been sent today due for arrival weds hopefully. With any luck it's still alive.
Feel free to open the main box, everything else is separately wrapped, it might be wise to give it some air anyway!
(Mr Tom) should receive his package any day.
At least I hope so as I think posting a small sun would have been cheaper.
He can open the box, the gifts inside are individually wrapped and hopefully in one piece. The flat gift should be opened carefully.
The other two are obvious, one I know he likes and one that's local to me.
gregs656:
Your present will be sent tomorrow. You can remove the outer packaging, there is wrapping underneath.
To build the excitement I suggest you open the wrapping on Xmas eve, and read the card. The package will be revealed, but you should not attempt to open it until Christmas day.

Your presents were entrusted to the man from herpes over the weekend and should be well on their way, so you should look out.
They're individually wrapped but lets not get carried away this close to the big day. Also, Mr Reggie; be sure to observe the order of opening and be grateful for the extra info that was unexpectedly received a few weeks ago. Something most disturbing had to be released onto ebay last week.

Hello geeks,
you may read Santa?s instructions and open the BIG parcel, there are little wraps inside.
Or leave the BIG one untouched, and heroically save the dehydrated hamsters on Christmas.

HO HO HO! Ok so unfortunately due to the way the game is played I know who my sender is but lets keep it anonymous for you guys
I am going to be a good boy and leave it until the big day, partly because this keeps some of the fun and partly because I wont be home until then

Posted and also got mine last night...can I open it yet?
Did you not see the message from your SS earlier? geeks said:
HO HO HO! The Santae said:
LosingGrip/Ki3r Santa has been very busy and thus your gift has been outsourced to the Amazon Elves. It has been dispatched and should arrive tomorrow. It should be gift wrapped inside the Amazon Box along with a message for you, merry Christmas and happy fisting!

80smatchboxshould have received his package as the postal elves claim to have delivered on the 15th.
AxGizmoYou should have your parcel by now or it should be very close. As it says on the brown paper, you are not to open it until the big day! We couldn't print off the official paper so my head elf and I had a go at drawing for you.
drfc1879Amazon will be delivering part 1 of your gift on Thursday 21st. It should be wrapped so your are fine to open the outer packaging.
Part 2 will be delivered once the items arrive. Alas I have been let down by the bds I ordered them from. Hopefully part 1 will keep you entertained until then.
forzie23Can you post on the thread that my target should be getting their SS tomorrow. Coming special delivery. Hopefully it won't start buzzing on the way!
Benni - really sorry but I've underestimated how long it takes to post things to you and missed the deadline, as such your gift is now unlikely to arrive for Christmas. Huge apologies, no excuses available as such other than I'm disorganised, lost track of the dates and I'm a bit st. If it's any consolation I haven't bought (or even thought about) any gifts for my close friends, family or wife (and she's not happy) yet.
I can't apologise enough for my stupidity, sorry
R8Steve Royal Mail tried to deliver your PHSS package today at 10:32 AM, but no one was in to sign for the package. A card has been left and it is waiting to be collected at M#####well Post Office
pembo One of your presents has been dispatched by Santa and due to a slight issue with another Santa’s task has been sub-contracted to the elf’s at Amazon.
All should be received before Christmas.
Dear TapeWorm - the package is slightly more bent that when I handed it to the RM counter-wench! You can open the box, the elements of your gift are wrapped inside. You may open ‘Open this first’ if you like…
Glade...
"A couple of presents will be on their way to you first class tomorrow (Thurs) so they should reach you in time for the big day. They are individually wrapped so fine to open the package.
Unfortunately I am having a delivery issue with your main present, so there will be something else to look forward to while you're eating all of that left over turkey. Apologies about that, but I'll let you know when it's on it's way.

eltax91 Your parcel was sent with My Hermes on Monday and is currently in your local sorting office. Nothing is individually wrapped inside so keep in external packaging until Christmas. Unless it smells funny or is leaking
Richie C I sent the package first class on Tuesday, so given that it didn't arrive yesterday it should definitely be there today. Good things come to those who wait
V40TC it is in hand (this isn't a message from your SS but me) there has been an issue with yours but it will arrive we promise!

2gins you can open the brown envolope for the wrapped goodys inside
vixen1700 I've been a bit ill this week, managed to drag myself out the house and have posted it on superdooper delivery, for tomorrow (Friday).
The Moose.Santa posted your parcel on 10th December and was assured that it would be delivered to the US of A in 5 to 7 working days. As the postage alone exceeded the recommended spend, he can only hope it gets to you in time for the big day and that you like the couple of used bus tickets and single sachet of cup a soup inside
AndburgGlad to see your neighbour realised soon enough and all looks in one piece.
Pleased the Blue Peter effort on the card is well received, hope Gaston is well! Apologies for anything written in the card As mentioned things were a little hazy at the point of writing and there was something about David written in your original info email. If its any consolation, your social media footprint was disappointingly small and PHSS' usual sources of info for the good stuff were thwarted!
The black and white package is indeed the naughty one. Open at your peril. Perhaps keep away from sources of heat and/or black magic for fear or reanimation
TapeWorm
“Don’t get too excited! I just used a Kuoni booklet for packaging!!! The lightbulb box too
The brown, heavy parcel you do need, same with the smaller spotty one!
Good job in getting to the pdf though
Steve Evil
I've been checking the tracking all day and Royal Mail still haven't delivered so I'm hoping Steve hasn't been in to work yet!
If you can let him know that it's on a signed for delivery for today that would be great.

"That was cut a little fine wasn't it?! Glad you've received in time. All part of the excitement, yep definitely that.
The jiffy bag isn't the wrapping, inside that please open the gifts first and card last.
Merry Christmas!"
The man from MyHerpes tells me that apparently Reggie82 should have received his herpes package earlier this week. We hope it safe and sound under his tree and has not fallen into the hands of the enemy, i.e. Mrs Reggie, as others' seem to have done. Otherwise the assault on the festive dinner table may take on a more conventional appearance.
