You are not alone in that. I have my gift giving done so now it's time for me!!!

If you buy any off your wishlist, don't forget to delete them off so somebody doesn't end up buying them for you again! :)

I like to think so. PayPal thinks I'm an idiot.

I processed the hell out of my cart! :D Now I'm about to go upload all my goodies. :)

What happens when you receive the same book twice?

OK a Kinky Elf sent me - Which is not my Secret Santa!
And then Secret Santa got me the same one. Will Amazon accept a swap?

I tried... but oh, well... I hit check out :-D

Lila - call customer Amazon customer service and see if they'll work with you asap. Sometimes they can reverse if they called right away!! ; )

lol... I have them on speed dial.

Oh so sorry!!! Seems to me they should have worked with you, not very good customer service!

I believe the email Amazon sends notifying you of the gift gives you the option to exchange it.

Yep i figured it out!
I will get an other book Secret Santa! Not to worry!

Not a problem! Glad to help.

So is anyone else trying to figure out a tactful way to say "so, did you get the f'ing book or not?" because you can't tell with ARe whether someone claimed it or not. No? Just me? Well, crap!

I don't know if this helps or not, Shannon, but all my gifts have come from ARe and all the ones I've sent have been from there and everything has been sent and received without a problem. If they have an ARe account the book is automatically placed into their library as soon as you send it. I know it would be nice if they posted on the share your goodies thread or whatever it's called here and then you'd know for sure. Hopefully they'll do that soon.

You could message them through elfster!

Nope not just you Shannon. ARe fails massively at sending me or my giftee any notifications....

K wrote: "Nope not just you Shannon. ARe fails massively at sending me or my giftee any notifications...."

That's what I'm afraid of. I think I'll do the message thingy that Heather mentioned because that would be smart...which is why I've been planning it...because I already thought of that. I so totally did! *faceplant*

Not just you, I went and looked at their gdread shelves to see if they'd been shelved.
If you can't do that then ask through Elfster.

It is kinda rude to not acknowledge the gift has been received.

I know last year I got a note saying 'thanks for the book' and I got all anxious because I sent more than one and did that mean they hadn't received the others...

This is more than I spend on books for myself at any one time, so it's nice to know if they've been received.

Well, I definitely can't claim that, because I'm pretty unrestrained with myself too! ;) But I agree that's it's rude not to say thank you for any gift. Doesn't matter how many I already have, I'm always ecstatic to get more books.

Are you kidding me? (no need to answer it's a purely rhetorical question) Manners people where are our manners? I know I'm not the only one who has done fangirl thank yous to their friends and SS's all over the place here for the lovely gifts they've received. Meep be warned if you ever get me for your SS name. I will be thanking you until you are so sick of it you tell me to shut up and go away, lol. Hopefully whoever you got will realize their oversight and remedy it soon. But in the meantime here's a *hug*.

Thanks *hugs back*
Even though we do wish-lists my reaction is completely OMG you got me xx, I've been so wanting to read that.

Oh I buy plenty books ;) but I rarely buy them in bulk, I try to pace myself a little.

Meep wrote: "Oh I buy plenty books ;) but I rarely buy them in bulk, I try to pace myself a little."

Is constantly a pace? LOL! :P It might not be so bad except that e-books are always on sale. Rude!

I felt horrible when I realized I had a book in my ARe library that I hadn't known about. Whoops! Do they normally send notifications?

I don't know if they do or not Vicki. All my gifts were through Amazon. You'd think they would but I don't think they're the most "with it" book seller.

I had a lot of books there that I don't recall buying and they weren't recent either HAHA! :)

They do, however, I've found them in my junk email and since I actually forward my Gmail (because I hate the Gmail interface (why can't you fuckin' sort your Gmail by From like every other email program on the face of the earth; I know, I know you can do that filtering thing but I want it easy to sort)) to my Outlook email and it seems to have difficulty with that and does an undeliverable.

(But I like Gmail's spam filtering so that's why I just forward from it and I had my GMail first)

Karen is super awesome at showing her gratitude to her secret santa ;-)

Jenn are you my Secret Santa? :-)

I sure am! I've loved seeing you so excited in the group. You are very fun to give gifts.
