Shipment is in the postal system...

So, I shipped my gift. BUT... I don't have a tracking number, and I have no way of proving I sent it, for SS I took photos before sending it, this time: nada. I didn't even take photos of the home-made parts, which I fully intended to do; time is not something I have an abundance of currently.

I'm assuming everything will be fine, and the great narwhal in the sky will guide the package to its intended recipient, but if not, I'm going on record that I posted it, and that if it doesn't arrive I will send something else - with tracking info.

this looks like a likely place to say, "woo! I shipped mine, too!"

I took photos and did a 'delivery confirmation' though, so I've got evidence.

You and your 'evidence'. I bet you think there's evidence for evolution too, damn 'scientificy people'.

I just got the last of my gifts to send, so I'll be packing them up and shipping within the next couple of days.

And fear not, bhole1980. Your gift will ship once the special investigations unit completes its analysis (read: I've been out of town, so I'll do it this weekend).

PS. Would you prefer cinnamon or pineapple flavored SPAM?

Ooooh, Cinnamon, for sure!

I shipped through Amazon last year, but couldn't get a tracking number in time for the deadline ship date. I believe you can still just check that box promising you've shipped, and you'll be golden.

Yep, I've filled in the "confirm I've shipped" section of redditgifts. This post is mostly about my own stupidity for not doing anything to verify I had shipped.

i did the same thing-no picture, anything. shipped it postal. i really hope it doesn't get lost ;-; i don't want to get banned from participating because some shmuck lost the package, since i don't really have anything to back it up.
