Original Post

I'm in New Zealand and there's just one more week for me to accept orders for international shipping - my last day accepting orders to arrive by Christmas is 27TH NOVEMBER

What are your shipping deadlines for Chrismtas shopping? (I'm hoping I haven't missed out already!)

I completely close up shop by about the 5th (I am in Canada) because no matter how many times you tell people you are not in the US, they assume you are and it is way too much stress when people have shopped for Christmas and mail gets bogged down :)

It is way too Kool to be working in my garage here in Phoenix Arizona when the mail man pulls up to deliver a Christmas present today ordered and sent from a store in Bulgaria and last week from the U.K..
This is what purchasing from stores here is all about. The fun of finding and then the thrill of recieveing and then the pleasure of giving come the Christmas celebration.
Thank all of you for being there to make my day more enjoyable.
