[live4christp1]

Mine went in the mail late yesterday evening.

Cristy

[Queenbillabong]

I did get mine sent out yesterday - just too tired to post (just arrived back from sunny California to SNOW :scared1:).


EDIT - Just realized I again left out the card from who the exchange is from! I was so stressed about getting it out in time...... So for the person getting the box from Canada, it's from me ;-)

[can84]

Mine went in the mail late yesterday evening.

Cristy

Did you receive yours yet? I'm worried it's in mail limbo :scared1:

[mommytotwo]

Did you receive yours yet? I'm worried it's in mail limbo :scared1:

I heard from her yesterday, and she said that her DH needs to check the mail at the post office....anything yet Christy?

Also Christy, did you send out your exchange?

[adctd2WDW]

Mommytotwo,
I am so glad you received your package and are enjoying!!
I looked quite a few places for PB Twix and could not find them..... :(
So, are the truffles really good? I was tempted to buy for myself but did not.

[live4christp1]

Nothing yet, but we are out in the rural community so our mail sometimes is a little slower.

No package yet but our mail is a little slower.

My package did go out. I will check my delivery confirmation number and see where it is at.

Thanks,

Yeah, PB Twix is not the easiest to find, but thank you for trying :). Yes, the chocolates were yummy.

:surfweb: I wonder where that package could be.
Please update up as soon as you have received it. :( I'm getting worried about it.

Could you tell me the date of when you had sent out your exchange, so that I can mark it down on my list.

[can84]

Nothing yet, but we are out in the rural community so our mail sometimes is a little slower.

I just called the USPS--they said it could be up to 2 weeks :mad: --so it should be there by Friday. I am so sorry this is taking this long :sad2:

:scared1: What? Was is the postal system talking about. :confused: What date did you send it? Could you send me the tracking, and I will track it along with you, and was it sent via Priority Mail?

Thank you for the positive words. The box ended up sent as parcel post, not priority. I sent you a new box today as priority; you should have it by Saturday. I can PM you the tracking number if you like. The items are identical except for two that I had to make substitutions for. Again, I am so sorry about this!!!!!

I am so pleased you are happy with your candy. DH and I had a great time picking it out although the lady on the checkout seemed a bit bemused when we told her what it was for, lol!

We love everything we sent. Some are things we enjoyed as kids. So funny that your friend is jealous of the Cadbury's Curly Wurly.

Yorkie is not for girls. ;) That is an ad campaign that started in 2001 and is still running. Here is some of the blurb from the press rlease -

"This is a big step for Yorkie but we felt that we needed to take a stand for the British bloke and reclaim some things in his life, starting with his chocolate," said Andrew Harrison, the marketign director at Nestle.

"It used to be that men had some areas of their life that were just for them and that was OK. No one cared and most people recognised that men needed places to be, in a simple sense, men.

There are three different billboard and magazine ads featuring the slogans, "Don't feed the birds", "Not available in pink" and "King size not queen size".

All the ads features the "Not for girls" tagline and a new Yorkie logo in which the letter "O" is an image of a woman with a street sign-style red line through it.

Enjoy your candy and if you would like any more of anything, just holler!

And, I admit I opened two of the eggs before I even took the picture! I just got home after working a 13 hour shift at TGI Fridays- they just looked too good. Definently a nice treat.

[spookysarah]

Wow all that looks great! I have never heard of M&M premiums but I just love Mike and Ikes. Also we have Toffifay over here, boxed uo just the same but it is called Toffifee.

After I had it boxed up though and could here the sound of the box of nerds.......I thought....that might not be a good idea.....the post office is going to think there is something up with that package. lol.

Thanks,

Checking in to say that I received a second package today (the first one that got lost in the mail). Thanks Christi (Can84)!!!!!

The box was pretty beat up and torn so I don't know what happened to it before it reached me, evidently it got rather hot as well as the truffles had melted. All the rest of the candy was fine though.

It included:

A giant Hershey bar (shared this with my brother)
package of peppermint patties (shared these with my dad)
package of happy cola gummies (I love these but ate almost the entire other bag so I passed these off to little neices & nephews)
Sour patch kids
Truffles (yes they are still yummy even though they melted)
Bazooka bubble gum (my kids were thrilled)
M&M's & Skittles small snack packages (8 each, these are great for lunch boxes)
Starbursts (think I'll use this package to stuff plastic Easter eggs for the egg hunt)

Thank you so much! We have an over abundance of candy now so I'm trying to share it around some or I will eat way to much of it!
