I was getting nervous reading this thread as my present hadn't turned up and I'm out of the country from tomorrow.

Messaged the wife to see if any parcels had turned up and she replied "Yes, your PistonHeads one!" She's used to PHSS now, but I do worry that it might have been hand delivered and that is why she knew hehe

Will get photos up when I'm home.

To my SS, should I open tonight or wait until I get back after Christmas Day?

Hi morgs_ and Merry Christmas from your PHSS!

You can open the outer box, within this are individually wrapped items that you need to resist until Christmas day but you can open the card if you like.... it's just a Christmas card.

troc, Santa is glad to hear that your gift has arrived. He allows you to open the handcrafted artisan outer wrapping and the box. Santa then allows you to be totally in awe and amazed by the glitzy stuff contained within the aforementioned box. If the amazement did not leave you completely flabbergastered and on the floor, you may also open the envelope and marvel at the wonders inside, I heard you people in Dutchland like growing "stuff".

Hooo - Hooo - Hooo !!!

Bear-n, please wait until both the card and parcel are there before opening the card, as I mention what's in the parcel in the card!

LukeSi, your gift was posted today via RMSD. It's inside a card that can be opened now or on Christmas day.

matbat, Santa spent today trying to get something suitable for plan B after yodel have lost one of the two parcels (ordered on the 12th with 48hr shipping), however has failed. Therefore Santa has been very very naughty and wonders if its OK for it to arrive after Christmas. I assure you it's worth waiting for.

It's not normal santa behaviour, first time in 4 years of participation and I am very sorry.

lilpetemordino, it is fine to open the outer packaging. There is a note inside corresponding to each present. Merry Christmas!

BenLowden, I had to go out of the country with work for a while so left an addressed envelope, SS gifts and wrapping paper in the hands of a third party to complete. Just discovered the untouched wrapping paper. On questioning, my instructions apparently weren't clear enough so you probably got unwrapped gifts inside a big, padded envelope, albeit with a PHSS logo sellotaped to the outside.

Nothing arrived in the post so I assume he has sent it by courier or special delivery for it to arrive later today or Monday.
Hmmm I have PM'd your SS, I think you should have had something...

stupidbutkeen, you should have received you parcel; it was sent the day before last post and they said at the post office that going to Belfast shouldn’t make a difference. Hopefully it’ll arrive on Monday.

FN2TypeR, your PHSS package appears to have been delivered this morning. Being a forgetful Santa, I may have failed to indicate it from PH on the outer box. However, opening it (which is safe to do) should reveal all.

xmasxmasxmasxmasxmasxmasxmasxmas

Rutter, your parcel should arrive tomorrow (today, email was sent to me last night - geeks). Sorry about the radio silence, but there was a backlog of orders for the Chilli Fist Turbo Edition. You can open the external package if you wish, everything inside is wrapped there is a card inside, it's best to start with that on Christmas day followed by the gifts. Have a Roasting Christmas.

Condolences to _Mike_ I thought 3-4 weeks was safe as houses. Feel really bad, I’d have express couriered it if I’d known, in fact the only reason I didn’t was for secrecy so I didn’t have to put my name on it. I’ve been frantically checking the thread for a positive delivery update but I guess that’s it. Sorry, man.

You might mask that pic in one part.

I guess Santa found out what a bad mutherfekker I have been and decided I am not worth someting.
Read the thread Benni wink, it would appear yours hasn't made it in time, it was sent to you a week ago!

xmas xmas xmas xmas xmas xmas xmas xmas

Benni Hope the package arrives safe. Do not open it as there is a timer and bad things may happen if pressure is relieved before the 25th. Don't forget to take photos of the incredible artwork hand crafted on the package. Merry Christmas x

This thread has a disappointing lack of pictures of gifts!
And even those that have posted pics are very sparse and not of all the gifts and cards etc. People have gone to a lot of effort with their choices surely it’s curtesy to share it?
I think my pic was the best... no real reason, I am just biased!

StanleyT, I have no words, I am not even sure what happened hehe am I right in thinking you were gifted a mirror, gloves, a stanley knife and hemorrhoid cream? hehe


Also... guys we have a situation, one that I am not certain has happened in years past. We have a recipient who has received nothing and a PHSS I cannot seem to get a response from but who has been active in the forums. So, what do we do?
