May I make a suggestion and say that wharvey should email the recipients their tracking numbers? We've had tons of package thefts in the neighborhood and I'm worried stuff will go missing especially if I'm unaware that it's shipped.

You can sign up with USPS, FedEx, and UPS so they will alerrt you when you have a package on the way.

I have but my issue is that I live in a house that has recently been converted to multiple units. I.e. landlord has recently got approval from the county and city to construct an in law house with 2 more units. As such neither USPS nor the Fedex etc have updated their systems. If I get an alert that a package is incoming, I don't know if that package is actually for me or for one of the other 2 units. Informed Delivery on USPS is even worse, I literally can see everyone's mail.

However, with USPS you'll be alerted for all packages and mail.
I like the DHL system better, they text you regardless if you are regietered with them or not.

Just received notice that a large package has arrived to my US address. It's being put in a closet until Christmas without me seeing who it's from so thank-you Secret Santa! I will report back after Christmas.

So excited! Santa gave me permission (as if I needed it) to open all of my presents when they arrive. Even better, according to FedEx, the package might arrive before I leave on Wednesday!

Just in today (obviously not delivered by USPS)! My Secret Santa is a mind reader - my packing cubes are so old (how old are they), I purchased them when the pterodactyl was the national bird!
Thank you Secret Santa!

Great idea to post here when your package is received, even if you choose not to open it! I put tracking on mine, but it's still comforting to know that it made it from the doorstep into the house!!

Thank you, excited to see whats inside.
Wrote to Wharvey and will report back once it's opened.
Also, that's why I have almost all my packages shipped to the office. If I'm gone for a week or more they'll hold it and it's safe.

I was going to wait for Christmas but then it arrived today and I needed a pick me up, and boy did I get one. Erik from Seattle did great! IDK how he knew I liked Lush, somehow must have figured out my FB perhaps, but I absolutely love Lush and so this gift set is perfect, especially because I love all the products in it. I also have tried some of the caramels and they are out of this world. Thanks, Santa!
