I didn't put tracking on my package. Went the route that it may draw undo attention, and hoped it would slip through without it. We shall see. No big deal, just wanted to try and be part of the fun. If he didn't get it, someone did. Hope they are enjoyed either way. Quote:

Dear everyone,
Thank you very much for all those who sent me something. I also thank you for your concern and condolences regarding the recent earthquake in my country. It is a very dark time for Turkey now. God bless you guys.
I'll just put a quick update asking if people can PM me the tracking numbers of packages that are held at the post office in Turkey. I will ask someone to go and pick those up for me as after a while they will be sent back to the senders.
I will thank everyone later in a more proper way, once I am back home, regardless of I receive their gifts of not.

molydeii, I hope that you, your family, and friends are all safe. This earthquake is a tremendous disaster, and I'm shaken with the horror that has befallen so many innocent people.

Be safe! Sending all the good vibes your way! I was part of the relief effort for the 2010 Haiti earthquake so I have some understanding of the insanity you are experiencing now.

Dear @Half and @Jimjumper, your packages are picked up from the post office.I thank you very much. If Santa can keep the thread open for some more time I'll post pictures when I am back. I already have one another from @Carrigna and really guys, I didn't deserve that much. Santa really made both happy and embarrassed towards the community this year.

Hello @Half and @Jimjumper, you are welcome! Glad the website helped you a lot! Our @Molydeli finally got your packages! So pleased by this news!
@loonielewy, do you have a customs declaration form with a barcode? If so, you can use the barcode as tracking number depending on country. Do try it on the Turkish website to see if it works? Hopefully it will tell you where your package is at?
@Colhand1, your card with small notes might be very slow in coming.
I wholeheartedly agreed with @nickelsearcher about our Santa/rggoodie!
Heaps of thanks for your amazing coordination and organisation with 2022 Santa/Holiday Exchange! This year I really enjoyed seeing everyone getting their presents and it went so well.
@Molydeli, we are sending our thoughts and prayers with you and your countrymen during this difficult time. I do hope things will get better with time. rggoodie had stated he will keep this post open until the end of this month. So, you would have plenty of time!
So happy to see that our packages reached you this time and made up for several years of missing mail pieces!!

Mine was sent as a Christmas card with coins in-between and no tracking and was sent at the end of Nov. so I'm thinking mine is a wrote off. But someone will have fun trying to spend some Canadian coins. Stay safe molydeii

Did the same as mcshilling, tucked them in a card and slapped a $7 stamp on it. Stamp was double the coins face, I'm not out much. Just glad to have played a part. Who knows, they may show up. Glad to see molydeii is ok. Hard times for sure.  "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

I knew if I was patient, the package still had a chance. It was mailed on 12 Dec. so its been traveling for a while! Nice to hear it made it. Its always been more important to give something than to get. I had no idea that Molydeii had never received anything. It was just another CCF Christmas gift to send. Merry Christmas, especially Molydeii (he's gonna need it I think) and to the whole forum. I'm already looking forward to 2023!

I did the same thing. Sent mine to Molydeii as a card. A few pieces of currency. More importantly, Molydeii I am praying for you and your family.

Dear everyone, I'm back home now and spent my evening opening up some beautiful gifts that was sent to me. I got much more than I did ever deserve this year. I would like to say thanks to rggoodie, Santa, and to all of you guys who spent time, money and efforts to send me something. Please do not do that again as I'm embarrassed towards the community this year. My culture here says we should give back as much as we take from the community. Not that people care for those kind of customs anymore but I"m one that cares. So far this year I received five packages. All were tracked mail. Unfortunately I haven't yet to receive anything untracked. I apologise on behalf of the recently privatized (sold to a private company) Turkish postal services. I knew they were inadequate to a degree but this year they proved to be a total losers. I will post pictures one by one. Those are lovely coins, a card and a banknote from @Carrigna. Thank you so much,!     Edited by molydeii

These are very generous gifts from @Jimjumper. First 2022 US coins I ever see om hand! I like half dollars in US currency. The banknotes are from Turkey, one is a late 1950s 2 1/2 Lira, and the other is a wartime Ottoman quarter lira. Beautiful coins and currency. The 1970s stamped coin sets, I never seen any of those before. Acmonital 1970s Turkish coins are relatively hard to come by as they had seen a lot of circulation back then.   |
