I guess a delivery confirmation is just that; it shows that the package was accepted & processed at the Sioux Falls facility, then departed the Sioux Falls facility, and... nothing. Maybe it'll be updated when the package is delivered. I just hope they didn't decide to inspect the contents to make sure I wasn't breaking any rules. :oops:
It'll only show new info when it is processed into the next sort facility, and they don't all update their info during the day. Some only do so at the end of the day. After that it will update when the package is delivered. All the updates sometimes come at the same time in the evening, so it may very well land at the sort facility, get processed, get sent out for delivery, and get delivered on the same day and you won't know till that night.

4 epic things. Bottle of Chard, Bottle of Merlot, Belles cream stout, and a big fat bottle of Guinness.

A very happy Xmas indeed

I have to give the U.S.P.S. credit. I'm surprised you didn't get a soggy box of broken glass.

Biggest fun will be the knife. The guys at work are always carrying knives so there is a thing they periodically do where they walk up on each other and draw (or behind you so all you hear is the click.)

Fitness magazine and a beer coozy. I'm getting mixed signals here. :laugh:

OH SHIT! I forgot the best part! The homemade triple-berry jelly! My wife grabbed that before it had a chance to show in the picture, though I grabbed it back this morning and am having it on pancakes as we speak.

Adam - sorry for the oversight, and THANKS AGAIN!!!!

Haha, totally posted yesterday thinking you hadn't gotten it yet. That jelly is a family special. Our last from maryland. Enjoy! All the berries were fresh picked and jelly made the same day.

I'm expecting TWO boxes today... Parts overnighted (ahem, two weeks ago) from Germany from Blunt, yo (for the manual box thing I'm doing) And my santa box.

I got wkohler's box a couple days ago, sorry for the much anticipated wait on the pictures.

Unfortunately when the box arrived a cup of barbeque sauce exploded and the box was tossed. I can tell you the box had a San Diego BMW sticker on it, though. Although I lost the barbeque sauce I'm not disappointed with the contents one bit.

Here's my list:
(2) Bimmer mags
Wedding Crashers DVD
The Aristocrats DVD
(4) Chrome door handles (I'm going the rock these so hard)
Osama Hot Sauce
Cracker Barrel Maple Syrup
(2) (I'm assuming) AZ radio station keychains
Q-bert SNES game
GNR Appetite for Destruction CD
Foam toolkit insert for bulbs/fuses
Meyle Tshirt
German Auto Sales shirt
Ecology Auto Parts bottle
Dash vent "cool" mod (now I have a extra spare!!!)

Not pictured:
Exploded BBQ sauce
Miguire's Auto detail spray
