#JolabokaflodSwap2024 @MaleficentBookDragon

BarbaraBB Yay! Thank you so much, excited for it! I hope (and guess) it will be here before the 20th which would be perfect because then I‘ll leave for a week of holidaying in Switzerland. That would be perfect ! 🤍 2mo

thewallflower0707 🥳 hoping to send mine out tomorrow, it‘s all packed 2mo

Yuki_Onna @BarbaraBB I'll keep my fingers crossed it arrives in time. Maybe the postal service will be quick for once🤞 2mo

BarbaraBB If not it‘ll be waiting for me when I get back, that‘s perfect too 🩷 2mo

BarbaraBB Are you in the UK? 2mo

Yuki_Onna @BarbaraBB I'm in Germany, and alas, the German post hasn't been all that reliable over the last years... You're right, though - they should be able to safely get the parcel to you within 10 days❣️ 2mo

BarbaraBB @Yuki_Onna Germany! That should be possible 🤞🏽🤞🏽 thanks so much! 2mo

Yuki_Onna @BarbaraBB Still nothing? 😐 #jolabokaflodswap 1mo

BarbaraBB No! I am so sorry because I‘ve left for Germany now myself… but I do live with my sister and she‘ll receive the package when it arrives. I‘ll be home the 29th and will open it immediately 😘 (edited) 1mo

Yuki_Onna @BarbaraBB Barbara, I found the receipt with the tracking number again & tracked the parcel. It says that it arrived on 12 December already, but that you refused the delivery.
The parcel is now being sent back to me as acceptance was refused. There must have been a mistake! I don't think you'd refuse acceptance of a parcel with the #jolabokaflod on it. I am so shocked.
What shall we do now? I haven't got the lightest idea.😩
@MaleficentBookDragon 1mo

BarbaraBB Wow, that is bizarre! Of course I wouldn‘t have refused it. I never received a mention about it. Mail is really being messy. I wouldn‘t ask you to send it again and make costs again. It‘s just bad luck. 🤷🏻‍♀️😘 1mo

MaleficentBookDragon Oh no! That is terrible. @Yuki_Onna do you think once you get it back that they would send it off again for you for free since it was not actually refused? Mail has gotten really out of hand. 1mo

Yuki_Onna @MaleficentBookDragon Not sure. I doubt they will do anything for free, but I'll certainly ask! Postal services have become so unreliable😩
I'm just so disappointed and angry at them because now you @BarbaraBB won't have a #jolabokaflod surprise on Christmas.😠
I curated (jep, really curated 😅) your package so lovingly while travelling in Finland, and now DHL has messed this up completely&you don't have a parcel waiting for you on Christmas... 1mo

Yuki_Onna @MaleficentBookDragon @BarbaraBB Once I finally get the parcel back I'll see what I can do to get it to you, Barbara! Maybe there's a way you'll get it eventually... 1mo

BarbaraBB @Yuki_Onna Oh no it sounds so wonderful and thoughtful. I can pay for mailing costs if you like, it‘s no problem, and I am now so curious about your gift! 1mo

Yuki_Onna I am determined to get it to you somehow! 😊 But it needs to get back to me first. I seems to be stuck in limbo atm - Tracking says it's been on its return trip to me since December 12th... 1mo

Yuki_Onna @BarbaraBB You're welcome! The parcel has been returned to me now. I've fiped a complaint with DHL and hope they will refund the postage and return fee I had to pay. 😤🤬 An additional fee for not doing their job & not delivering the parcel to you and ruining our #jolabokaflod 😤
As soon as DHL sends me an answer, I'm going to post the parcel again, ok? Let's hope for the best!🤞

BarbaraBB Thank you so much 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 1mo

Yuki_Onna @BarbaraBB Barbara, are you home for the next few days? I would mail the #jolabokaflod parcel to you again❣️ @MaleficentBookDragon 3w

BarbaraBB Yes I am 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 thank you so much!!!! 🥰 3w

MaleficentBookDragon Keep me posted (pun intended) 😊 3w

Yuki_Onna @MaleficentBookDragon 😆The #Jolabokaflod parcel is posted again! Please keep your eyes open for it, dear @BarbaraBB It may even arrive within two - four days! 🤞🤞🤞 3w

Thank you @Ericalambbrown for the amazing Jolabokaflod gift! I apologize for the late post, I had to go out of state for a family situation and put my mail on hold. Everything is getting better now, and it was lovely to come back home to this fun swap! #Jolabokaflodswap #Jolabokaflod @MaleficentBookDragon

Forgot to take a picture because, well, I ALWAYS forget to take a picture. But my #jolabokaflodswap package is in the mail. It should arrive at its destination in New York on Tuesday.

I got my package sent out today! It should reach its destination by Friday. I forgot to include the card in the package so it‘ll be arriving separately ❄️☃️🎄🛷 #Jolabokaflodswap23 #Jolabokaflod @MaleficentBookDragon

MidnightBookGirl I got the card today! Thank you! I can‘t wait to open my package! 13mo

Cutting it close, as ever, but #jolabokaflodswap is on its way! I did forget to write the hashtag on the package, @guinsgirlreads - when a mystery package arrives, don‘t be alarmed! 😂💖 Thank you for organizing the swap, @MaleficentBookDragon !!! 😍🥰

guinsgirlreads Thank you! ☺️ 14mo
