2nd (?) Annual-ish SDMB Coffee Mug Exchange

I was able to send out my mug and goodies today.

On its way!!

Are we supposed to check in after we’ve mailed our package? If so, sorry. Mine went out over the weekend.

And of course I just assume everyone participating has a coffee grinder. :slight_smile:

They better have :)!

Sent mine out yesterday, I sent ground coffee which is less than ideal but I can’t assume everyone has a grinder (Even though they should…a conical burr grinder…that sounds only slightly less noisy than a loaded Mack truck going up a steep incline with a broken exhaust pipe…like I used to before the stupid Krups gave up the ghost and I replaced it with a Bodum, which only sounds like a small Kenworth going up a logging road in the Bugaboos…)

Mine will be fired on Friday or Saturday and hopefully ship the same day. :slight_smile:

I have put together a package that I’m kind of excited to be taking to the post office tomorrow. I didn’t include coffee, not being sure whether the recipient is a coffee drinker or a tea drinker, but I think it will be satisfactory. :slight_smile:

Not necessary, but you should definitely check in after you receive your package and let everyone know of the goodies you got!

Stuff Sent Today !!!

It’s going to the nether reaches of the Planet Earth, so it might take a lil time to show up.

USPS International Prices are outrageous.

But I still like to play! Happy Tasty Coffee Mugs To All! :smiley:

Mine was delivered into the hands of the postal gods yesterday. They swear it will arrive by Wednesday. Maybe.

Canada Post is being its usual efficient self. Tracking number is stuck on “In Transit”. Uh huh. To where - a post box in Ulan Bator?

USPS says a package from me is waiting for someone at her front door.:smiley:

And someone else’s is out for delivery. I guess it didn’t go to Ulan Bator after all.

Canada Post says my package has been delivered. :smiley:

Close, Alberia. Got my mug today, and Thank You so much! I love the West Coast salmon motif and I will definitely be trying out the coffee tomorrow morning through my Aeropress! I like the keychain as well although it’s almost too pretty to use and get beat up in my pocket!

Scored some excellent local stuff today to add to the box with the mug . . . or will there be two mugs? No one yet knows. Now to find a box to fit it all in. I plan to entrust it to the postal delivery gods on Tuesday. Sorry to be so slow.

I had totally forgotten about this, so imagine my surprise when I opened my package to discover a beautiful local (well, local to Lawrence, KS) coffee roaster’s mug and their “mindfully roasted” coffee. Love it, shoeless! I can’t wait to try the coffee. Plus, your package reminded me to buy mine and get it in the mail tomorrow. :slight_smile:

Yay! I got the most amazing package from EmilyG. :smiley: It contained a very fine Canadian $20 bill mug, a tiny handmade paper piano, and two adorable sea creatures: an octopus and a whale. <3 Plus, on top of all of that, COFFEE!!! You are so very thoughtful, EmilyG! Love love love this!

I fiiiiiinally found all the stuff for my recipient, so it’s going out on Tuesday; post offices are already closed here through Monday. Coming soon!

I got home from work today just as a FedEx truck was pulling away from my house. It turned out it was just something I had ordered. Booo.

Arrrggggghhhh, I picked my piece up from being fired today, got it packed, and arrived at the post office about half an hour after they closed. Monday is Forget This Holiday Is About Labor Unions And Just Fly The Flag Day, so I’m afraid my gift to EmilyG (no spoiler; she already knows it’s me) will not ship until Tuesday. Sorry! :stuck_out_tongue:
