As long as you just put less than $20 on the Customs Form, the package should have no problem getting to where it's going. BUT, and I say BUT...with the holiday mail now, it can take a bit longer. Why? No one knows....

don't worry yourself about it. it's shame if someone doesnt get a parcel, but its okay. dont you go out of your way to rectify all these issues. sounds like yoube done everything you can. even if a parcel arrives late, thats okay too! you just enjoy the holiday season and dont't fret. i appreciate everything you've put into this!
i am willing to take on another SS if you need it. of course it probably get to the person a bit late, but i am happy to help. just send me a PM with the persons name and address and i'll get it out as soon as possible. easy peasy!

I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Most I am giving the benefit of the doubt due to the mail system because some are coming from outside the US, so it could take a bit longer.
But, then again....I do/did have some people that mailed late. Some informed me of "life's issues" as to mailing late which I excused, but there are others that cannot give me a good enough excuse except they were sick.
So, what do we do?? Do we wait and keep our fingers crossed?
I've already had 5 packages sent out because of people pulling out at the last minute, so those people are taken care of, but don't know what to do about the others.
I guess I'll have to ask for the Delivery Confirmation numbers so I can check myself.

Have any Australians worked out when the reveal will be in Aussie time?
If I remember correctly I think EST is 15 hours behind South Aussie time. (My daughter lived in New York for a couple of years)
So the Reveal will be about 10am on Monday December 13th SA time. Anyone else worked it out?
But I am more intrigued by how will we know that it's happening? Will 200 people try to get into the Live Chat?

I will still wait until the 12th to open my box. Maybe while I'm on break I can join in the chat. It may be difficult because at work I have to do everything on my phone and boy is the type small!
