I ordered all the girls in my family name necklaces for Christmas online from a .au website guaranteeing Christmas delivery 3 weeks ago. I finally got my dispatch confirmation with a tracking link. It was sent on the 19th..... From Israel!!! So far they have gone to turkey, Germany, Pensilvania and have now just left Louisville! UPS suggest it will be here 24th... Cutting it fine and not taking into account any delays or issues! Anyone else wanna join my courier tracking club?

All but 1 gift has arrived, and very quickly. I've been waiting for a pettiskirt for the baby for a couple of weeks - admittedly an eBay cheap one, it was supposed to arrive from yesterday, so here's hoping it gets here today or Monday.

I am waiting on a little portable sewing machine for my 7yo DD. I ordered it on the 4th December, from a site that said they were an Australian owned online store based in Sydney. It only had to be sent to the south coast NSW so I thought - plenty of time to get there. Hopped online the other day to check where my order was - it had been shipped from Hong Kong - on the 11th! I was so cranky to see that. I went back and checked out the online store I ordered it from and they have worded it so cleverly, but not lied, so I probably don't have a leg to stand on if it doesn't get here in time

I'm waiting on two parcels to come from Germany. Ordered and paid for on the 9th Dec. Seller says posted on the 11th. Not for Christmas presents, but I would like them soon.

Don't be disheartened if it never leaves the UPS sorting facility according to the tracker. I had an item dispatched on the 4th and Monday it was STILL saying it was at the depo in Oregan. It arrived that night...the seller I bought it from said the UPS tracking info is really inaccurate. My mum has had an item say it's at a sorting facility in LA since the 6th, hoping it randomly turns up soon like mine.

I'm waiting on an order from Toys R Us (US). The order had 8 small items, and they have shipped 2 separately (which haven't arrived) and I have no idea if the other 6 have even shipped! So so so annoyed!!

My item which was off loaded in HK on the 19th has suddenly arrived on my doorstep today. Still awaiting a dress for me and a caraway for DS2 to arrive at my folks. This post has been edited by lsolaBella: 21/12/2012, 12:57 PM
