This is Marshmallow.

He is thankful this Holiday weekend and hoping everyone finds some wonderful sales and gifts for their secret Santas....

He suggests small treats, but don't listen to him...he already ate his way through the turkey!

I got a package today,and did the whole did I order something game. Lol.

My secret Santa most likely stalked me and saw that I am into vinyl. I got this cool [Retro] coaster set!

It includes such hit songs (although some are B side hits) as:

Cover and protect
Protect the surface
Tea time (don't spill this)
No marks on the table
Rest on me!
Too hot to handle

These are fun and will get used for sure.

Thank you santa!

Now then.... I just have to figure out how to keep my cup spinning at 45 rpm

Quoted from grantopia:

I saw on my tracking my package was delivered but haven't seen the recipient post they got it yet. A good reminder to at least mention stuff arrived so the sender knows it made it safe!

Quoted from Jimmyhonda:

I ditto this. Tracking says mine was delivered to recipient but there’s been no mention it arrived safely.

Well, if you stick a stamp on a chinchilla, you have to make sure to let the postal carrier know to close the mailbox tight.

If you send a baby one, I think you can get away with a postcard stamp

I got a nice surprise today of an additional package at my door.

A new pinball shirt, to help me with my multiball game!

Thank you again santa!

Quoted from TigerLaw:

Yep, the shipping alone on what I sent was over the $30 threshold as well.

In the years we've all been doing this awesome thing (always, thank you John), I don't think any of us have discussed shipping costs to be factored in or not.

Of course it's all up to individuals, really.

Personally, as one who has spent that much in shipping too, I never really factored shipping in as part of the item money.

No matter what, everyone always is great in this thread!

Can't wait to keep seeing everyones items!

Quoted from Hogbog:

Santa stopped by the JJP Factory yesterday! I'm the 'open on xmas' kinda guy, so hopefully my 360 eggs don't go bad by then

Will post pictures of what's inside after xmas!
Thanks SANTA!!!

You say 360 "eggs".

But I'm betting each of those little egg tray sections holds a baby chinchilla rather well

Quoted from Haymaker:

Shipping costs are wild, just a tip, there are websites out there that can give you major breaks on shipping. I like a website called pirateship. They cut my shipping costs by more than half from the standard rate for my gifts. I use them quite frequently for my ebay items as well. At my work we send a ton of packages and have a substantially lowered negotiated rates, pirateship is very close to those rates even. Just a tip if anyone still needs to ship anything.

Very good tip!!

I only recently found out you can go into your PayPal and purchase a discount shipping label through there. But I can't ever find the link in PayPal; have to Google it for some reason.

I had recently seen that pirateship site too, and planned on trying them next; to see if they are even better.

With pirateship, is there a membership or anything? Or is it just create a free account online, sort of thing?

Thanks!
