Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That’s what I would have thought Garfield otherwise what hold do they have. It was a few years ago with the bbq so it could have been invoice, pay then release for delivery. If that’s the case I got a real bargain on my sandals 😃

That's great news geordieclaus! Hubby had a parcel from the US arrive either last year or the year before and they only released it after the amount due had been paid, so I think you had very good luck! :)

I’ve often had to pay up to £10 for a package from the USA so I’ve think you’ve done well GC

I think you pay if the value is over 135 quid or something.

I will be grateful that I got my parcel without import duties. They were checked at customs, the box and package were opened but nothing with it to say I have outstanding bill I’ll wait for now and see if anything comes in. They were $105 so could be under value?

And $105 was before the 30% came off.

Things from anywhere other than the EU won't have changed, Jelly.

Fingers crossed my FSS gift will turn up today or tomorrow.
I don't remember now if I gave my real name to the elves or just my fetch one, but it's my fetch one on the parcel which means Post NL didn't notify me through the app like they normally do. Our post people are very good, though, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

Fingers crossed Raedolph. It's a relief when it arrives, as you know the efforts made by the senders.

About This Thread

Maintained by geordiegirl
Instructions for the 2021 edition of Fetch Secret Santa:

1) Send an Fmail to geordiegirl with the name and address you want your parcel sent to by 1st November.

Please indicate if you’re ok to post to an overseas fetchie.

2) Join the group linked to this thread (I have recycled 2020 group so please update with a 2021 at the start so we know it is current)
fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1296

If you joined last year but don’t wish to partake you can remove yourself from the group.

3) Be Involved..... Please try not to go AWOL the buying of a SS gift is a lovely thing to do but going quiet on the thread/blogs can make it difficult. We’re not asking you to be specific but a few hints around what things make you tick, what you like / enjoy makes it that bit easier and hopefully gets you something you would like.

Of course the main aim is stalking so subtle hints are fine!

4) if you have allergies or particular dislikes then feel free to put them in the group.....

When you receive the details of your victim:

5) Stalk said victim and determine their interests.

Hint.. you can see what threads your victim posts to by typing the below in Google or whatever

VictimsFetchName site:www.fetcheveryone.com

6) Purchase gift(s) you think they will like, we have suggested £10 but up to you and remember handmade gifts are perfect too. It’s the thought that counts.

7) I’m suggesting you post the gift by 1st December as this has helped a successful SS in previous years. But it’s also ok to add an update to the spreadsheet and keep your elf updated so we can let your victim know they’ve not been forgotten. If you are posting overseas please bear in mind it can take longer than UK post.

8) Wait by your post box for your gift.

9) Sit on hands until the big day! No cheating!

On the big day:

10) Open your gift and share with everyone what you got on the thread.
