As someone who's done this for 4 years now and never had any problems either way, I think you simply drew the one short straw in a lot of about 150. Vic's asking for more help next year and this year has a disproportionally large number of packages sent/arrived late for various reasons in comparison to all the other years we've had it. The international thing was probly the biggest bear of them all. The theory is sound but could use some revamping/refining to make sure no one gets anything late.

Tengukami:
Yeah, this is my second year doing this, in a country with almost extortionist toll services, and haven't had a problem, either. I think there was just a bit more people for one person to coordinate is all.

triangles:
Every year there's more international participants/countries too which increases the chance of something going wrong by sheer numbers alone.

I think at one point I suggested to Vic splitting the list in half-ish and that way the people organizing can still participate with ~the element of surprise~ so something similar is probably what he had in mind for next year.

I'm sorry. I messed up.

Have you gotten a hold of the seller? They might be willing to send a replacement without much fuss, but failing that it's probably not too late for a credit card/Paypal/? chargeback.

Drake:
>Paypal ever siding with the customer in a dispute
lol no

triangles:
Incorrect! I have gotten money back from bum sellers, and MJP won his case for not having to pay $30 to send back a $40 "free shipping" item that was broken because the seller couldn't spend 5 minutes to wrap something securely.
Though now that I look back, I think they only have a 30-45 day window so that might be gone :(
