I sent out a few this morning. One person's shipping was like $20 because, despite being from the same seller, they add a shipping cost to each book on the zShop listings. Yeesh! So I'm wiped until I can float a few more photography jobs in December.
lol Merry Jesus Birthday!
Hey Nick, you added SapphirePhoenix's list to the first post and not mine!
sexist pig
You made your link wrong. Refer to the original post for step-by-step instructions. Your link currently takes the reader to his own Wish List.

just for the hell of it, a good 80% of those say "Only ships within U.S." so I dunno
I need to be added to the front too.Quote:

And on that note, here's mine.

Received as well..... Merry Jesus Birthday!!Quote:

Uh, happy holidays!
I got a package today that I am assuming is guitar strings because of its size.
I don't know who its from but thanks!
I'll try to put off restringing until xmas, but I play like a jerk, so I may be opening your gift early :O
Gift wrapping guitar strings was not an option. Or shirts.
Just, you know, throwing that out there.
I couldn't gift wrap Josh's shirt.
It's the Joker one, in case you're wondering.
Just sent my first bunch out, and I'll try to send some more at the end of the month after I get extra money.
You guys are awesome. I'm so getting you bitches some shit soon. Ill pull some cash outta my ass sometime soon.
Like 5 of my gifts shipped out between yesterday and today, which means people should be getting stuff from me soon. So the rest will hopefully ship out on Monday. In early December I'll be starting round 2 trying to get as many of you guys as I possibly can, so if you haven't gotten anything from me yet you will hopefully in the next few weeks. :)
Everything I've sent has been off the marketplace. So no giftwrap or notes. If you get something from Chris Craiglow and you dig it, then you're welcome.
I'll be randomly sending stuff through the next month. If you asked for something that I can get for you for under $10 then expect something before x-mas.

First round of goodies sent. I signed up for the free trial of Amazon prime, so free 2-day shipping for everyone. Saved about $30 on shipping costs.
No gift wrap because I'm a cheap bastard.
I should have done that. I had to drop some items from my round of gift-giving because the shipping charges were too much. Oh well to those unfortunate few. I didn't gift-wrap my items, but I left gift notes, so you'll know it's from me.Quote:

I think I did that right, I am hopped up on nyquil and eucalyptus cough drops.
Also lol @ some of the things of your lists.
You be quiet! My list rocks ass!
Thanks for the tip, I am going to join Amazon prime so free shipping for everyone!!Quote:

That reminds me, I need to kill my prime sub. I got it before vacation last month.
I sent out a few items today. Sorry if they're on the cheap side, but I have two kids and a wife who are expecting big things from Santa. I hope everyone enjoys them though. :)
As long as I can cancel online without a phone call, I am happy.Quote:

Damn whoever got me Knocked Up on HD-DVD. I got email from Best Buy saying I was entitled to 2 free HD-DVDs so I got Oceans 13 and Knocked Up. Went to my Amazon wishlist and Knocked Up was gone! Saw that someone purchased it for me. So I had to go to Best Buy, return my in-store pickup and swap it for Children of Men. I havent received the HD DVD but whoever bought it for me, Thank you in advance.
I've been very surprised by people's generosity here. It makes me very happy that people are so kind and generous total strangers like myself.
Thank you very much Opaque! Thank you anon other person (thus far)! I mean just wow. You people are rocking my holidays.
no shipping address.Quote:

Gifts for friends to be shipped soon. (Thursday or Friday).

I sent out 4 gifts today, I'll send out more next paycheck.
wow, thnl rocks. :)
Alright, it looks like I've got a bit of extra money so I'm going to join in and send out a few gifts.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wi...enextleve04-20
I stuck with cheap books in general since shipping will be high. (although it doesn't look like it's too bad for just books which is nice)
I will do anything... ANYTHING for that blade runner box though.
You actually have more coming. Other shit was delayed. :chu:Quote:

Fixed. :)
Also Used stuff is fine for me. :)
I think Andy may be expecting sexual favors in exchange for holiday goods. Beware.Quote:

Hell I might even get you your own slutty j-chick in exchange. ;)
Gifts from Josh and Brand showed up today and they are awesome.
So, here's my lowly list. I live in lolstralia, so shipping will probs run you more than a gift, so I understands if you wanna pass :)
I just bought 3 people gifts :)
This is an awesome idea.
I'll definitely participate in this next year. Will have to pass this year though.
Just ordered a batch for some peeps.
Now I have to wait a bit to see if I have the money to send some more in December.
If you didn't get something from me it's not because I don't <3 you (except for that Chucker fellow... what an asshole), it's just that I didn't have enough money for everyone. :(
This is awesome. :)
I'll bring my machete to hack through the foliage.Quote:

Yeah you can put a personalized note that appears on the packing slip, or on the giftwrap if you do that.
I don't think I remembered to write notes to anyone. So people have to guess who I am....though it should be pretty easy to do so.
Wishlists are fun, after browsing around I finally remembered which albums I still need to pick up.
I didn't leave any notes on what I sent out, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be hard to figure out.
K3V & Nick, you guys fucking rock. Thanks!
Geez that was fast - I just ordered your shit yesterday. Amazon Prime FTW
Unless there is another Kevin from NY it's definitely you. Amazon shipping is the new hotness apparently. Plus the gift from you is the hotness because I've been meaning to buy that forever but never have.
I got your gift Rhydant!! Its awesome!!!
I got a few peoples stuff shipping today, hopefully I'll send more soon.
I hate to ask this, but if anyone has sent me a gift that was supposed to have arrived in the last few days, PLEASE let me know. I've seen Fed Ex and UPS trucks as I leave for class/work and I haven't gotten any packages. I got in a fight with one of my roommates last week and I wouldn't put it past her to snag my Christmas loot from the doorstep. That, and I live near a ton of Marines (Camp Pendelton is like two miles from here) who don't seem like the type I'd trust.
I know it kind of ruins the surprise, but I'd rather know something is coming than have it stolen.
I sent you something, but it probably wont be there till next week because I'm too cheap for 2 day shipping.
Its my favorite band so I had to get that gift.
Score! There may or may not be something else in the mail. It's a surprise/mystery!Quote:

I sent you something Ryhdant. It should be arriving yesterday/today/tomorrow/friday.
OMG SURPRISED RUINED. I hope you get it. :(
Shipping adress changed. If anyone has something in their shopping cart thing, make sure it goes to SAN MARCOS, CA instead of OCEANSIDE. Bitches be thug over here.
Possibly.Quote:

I didn't bother to gift wrap mine... open them up and enjoy them immediately IMO.
Instead of having up pay tons for shipping, can't the aussies and nihonjin just make a wishlist on their country's amazon for everyone to buy off of? Does that not work?
This post leads me to believe bbobb just bought panties out of vending machines and shipped them.Quote:

I don't know how Amazon AU is, but that's the shittiness of the Japanese one. It's frustrating.
Big ups to Josh for the CD. <3
And also ups to who ever sent the Venture Bros Season 2 DVD. It wasn't sealed and I immediately thought "zomg bootleg!" but then I realized it was just purchased from a used seller. Anyhow. Awesome!
Venture Bros was I. Glad you got it, though I could have sworn I bought you a new one....going to check the purchase now. I was worried it got stoled after your delivery rant.
edit: I'm an Amazon n00b, it was "Like New", not "New". God damn't. :(
Thanks burg for Knocked UP HD DVD
I got a book today Dead Sea! Thanks whomever sent it! :D
it didnt have any note attached since it was from a marketplace seller :(
As far as i'm aware, there is no AU Amazon.
I have a big cart ready to send, but gift wrapping is currently unavailable, so i'm gonna wait a bit before putting this order through. If its still down in a few hours then i'll just send them all without it.
No worries. Discs and packaging are fine. Thanks a whole ton! :)Quote:

I cant promise anything..so dont get your hopes up..but I may be able to get you the book. I have to check with bookstore. If not available there, I'll have to order via internal office email and have it shipped to me and i'll have to ship to you. Again, not guaranteed but I'll find out.
bbobb, how much is shipping a book to your location (airmail)?
It's gotten some pretty high recommendations from the TNLelite. :)
Cheapest shipping is usually around $7-8 or so.
I'll let you know either tomorrow or Tuesday latest. May need address from those I mentioned above. But will let those know.Quote:

I just sent a bunch of shit out to you guys. For some reason the gift wrapping kept changing price, so half of the packages have a note and half don't. I hope to send out some more at a later date.
I have to use these shitty prepaid credit cards because i can't find enough ID to get my debit card, so each order is limited to $100 batches.
Since I have no idea what else I want (I probably have the smallest list), I added Amazon gift card. So if you dont want to get one of the items out of my handful of lists, Amazon gc is also an option. Seems no one else added it to their wishlist.
Hey K3Vin, got your gift hand delivered to me at work today. Awesome, I had a feeling it was the minipop cd due to the shape and size. Thanks! I have your gift sitting in my shopping cart as I type this.
Nice dude, enjoy!
Its one of the best books I have read in a LONG time. I read a one page story in it last night around 1am and then I stayed awake until 4am thinking about what I just read.Quote:

Ah OK. No, I dont need the book. The price I can get the book plus shipping them out myself is half of what Amazon is charging (not including shipping). Its a cheap gift, but its the thought and the fact that the person will enjoy it that counts =)Quote:

Mind hooking me up? I got PayPal.
Cheap doesn't matter imo. If you're getting someone they want it shouldn't matter how much you paid for it. this is why I demand used goods if they're available. Don't spend $25 on me if you could spend $4 and get me the same thing. you know?
bbobb, D_N_G, stibbons, timber, opaque, mannerbot, PM me or email me @ dcemu.reviews[at]gmail.com with your mailing address. I'm going to send the 20th Century Ghosts to you as a gift. So if you have it on your wishlist, remember to remove it or you may end up with 2 copies.
Major props to Nick and K3V whos gifts I got today, thanks a ton guys.
Thx Opaque - got a gift from u today :)
Gonorrhea is always free!Quote:
