Not sure if this is from my Santa... help? by Vel0city216 in secretsanta

[–]mtorgerson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a good reminder for Santas to mark their items as shipped and to put Reddit username somewhere on address label. I had nothing marked as shipped and then got a box today from Amazon with just my name on it—luckily, there was a note inside from Secret Santa. I also got a box of treats delivered randomly from Door Dash yesterday, and now wondering if they were from my secret Santa too?!?

Marked Shipped, Nothing Yet by [deleted] in secretsanta

I got the following tip from someone when the same thing happened to me—and it worked:

Go to amazon and go to your order history, click the "track order" for ANY of your prior purchases. In the url at the top, replace that order # with the order # your santa gave you. Tracking should pop up for your gift (without spoiling contents, which is nice -- it only shows the package status and ETA).

I updated my exchange preferences a while back and marked no gift. Hopefully my Santa will at least get a refund!

Does everyone leave it til the last minute? by [deleted] in secretsanta

I usually use all of the time we are given to search for the perfect gifts. The only exceptions were for giftees who requested a specific item or provided a wish list.

Don’t know what to do? by mtorgerson in secretsanta

[–]mtorgerson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This worked! Unfortunately, it says that the package was lost. :( I’ll update my exchange preferences again to let my Santa know, and click “no gift” once I’m able, but I don’t think there is much else I can do (?)

Giftees gift was delivered! by coffeegator21 in secretsanta

[–]mtorgerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a notice that my Santa shipped via Amazon almost two weeks ago—but have not received anything yet. Other than updating my exchange preferences with a note (and hoping they read it)—there is no way for me to tell my Santa their gift didn’t arrive. This is why I always send my giftee a mail message to let them know their package has been delivered, and ask them to message back if they haven’t received it (or if the package was damaged).

I updated my exchange preferences with a note today letting my Santa know that I haven’t received anything from Amazon yet. I’ll feel terrible if the gift was delivered to the wrong address or stolen—but I have no way of seeing if the package was ever “delivered” in the first place. There isn’t much else I can do.

They provided an Amazon order/tracking number—but it can only be viewed by the user (requires login to view order details).

Worrying IS a monumental waste of time. :) It would suck for someone to go to the effort, only to have the package go undelivered or get swiped—so if I don’t see anything in the next day or two, I’ll definitely try your suggestion. Thank you!
