At least it's still under warranty. Question now is how do I get my cards printed off? I've never used a Kinkos before, and apparently the only things around here are Fed Ex printers. Any tips?

>>150541620

Just reposting this since I post it when the thread got archive.

>>150559314
go the the Kinkos, since it's also the FedEx. Ask them if you can use your paper, play with their machine, ask them for help if you can't figure it out. Bring an SD or USB stick, it's simpler than using your phone.

>>150559484

This is going to sound really hick, but they're not going to stop me from printing cards off due to having copyrighted characters on them, are they? Also, do they have a template to use for cards, or do I need to have t hat set up beforehand? Sorry for all the questions.

>>150559561
Nah, none of them are going to give a shit what you're printing. Just tell them it's original work for Christmas cards if they even bother to ask.

It's going to print exactly the way you have it set up to print. So if you're printing the front of the card only, it needs to make up 1/2 of one side so you can fold it down the middle.

>>150559561
I would just go in and ask, and not worry about the copyright.

>>150559676
>>150559681

Alright, I'll have to try this out then. Thanks for the help!

Remember that it's okay to open your cards as soon as you get them.

I actually caught the thread before it achieved.

I've been lurking and while I'm not posting initials, TEXAS people from last thread can possibly chill. At least one of you isn't getting grinched.

For one of my anons, I'm using my 3D printer to print something damn fine off for their exquisite taste and by exquisite taste I mean they literally only put early 2k toonami shoot-em-up's where there's no merch available it's just taking awhile to print off all the pieces, but it's almost finished.
I don't think I've seen anyone 3D print anything before here. I live in a more populated US city, so people always do it over here, creatively and technically, but is it uncommon elsewhere?

>>150568316
I haven't ever met anyone that just casually 3d prints things in a print shop in my yurop country, or even heard of a 3d print shop at all. My university has a few advanced printers though.

>>150567272
Thank god. The thread can die now.

Bye anon. Remember not to bump this thread with pointless replies.

>>150568316
I posted a few weeks ago that I was going to do custom 3D prints for anons, but I never got around to it. Out of curiosity, what program do you use? I use Rhino, which is great for mechanical objects, but not so with character modeling.

Nice design. BUT THOSE FUCKING EDGES!! Get a sharp xacto knife, and re-cut all those edges back half an inch. When you re-cut it, don't gouge out the foam core like you're cutting a ribeye steak with a fucking spoon. Instead make 3 to 4 shallow cuts as the blade passes along the line, and your cuts will be clean every time.
I'm angry because I want you to succeed.

Thank you very much for the amazing card and the sweets. I only do gifts because I am not artistic, so this was the best card I have received doing SS.

Yes, I figured the cookies and candy were available to me before Christmas. I also assume the Weisuo light as well since it was not wrapped, but I can't quite figure it out.

I know I can flip it and light it up, but am I supposed to push it out of the holder? I would rather ask than accidentally break it.

You don't pay customs when shipping between EU countries. Nothing you can really do about waiting, unless you want to pay for a courier which will be a fair bit more expensive probably. But shipping times between EU countries are pretty quick, so shouldn't really matter.

True justice soldiers on even in the face of great adversary. Only pure evil would think of abandoning their duty for such a petty reason as initials not being posted. The very fact that so many people have pointed out how wrong you are shows that you are a villain that is in need of being destroyed lest your villainy spread to more innocent people in this thread.

thank fuck time to repost initials since I haven't in two months

TH from CA
Gifts bought, received some, rest coming this week and still working on maximum love. The main gift might be a little late but if that happens I'll send santaloli/faggot an email and send everything in two parts.

JM from OH
Gifts bought, love at max and will be shipped by next weekend at the latest but I'll keep you notified if that changes

Please take care of yourselves!

No problems, just send it to the 100 address.

Not posting initials is fuck all compared to intentionally grinching someone completely unrelated.

I've seen anons in other threads saying they're not posting initials to keep their assignments in suspense. I haven't seen my initials either so it'll be a great surprise to see something pop up in the mail. I haven't posted my assignment's initials either for the same reason, I'm sure he'll be glad to see his gift.

Being able to talk to your assignment in the threads and knowing when you'll get something doesn't seem as special.

How does it keep them in suspense? Just by signing up for the event, people expect to get something in the mail.

>>150590606
But people will often mention what time they sent their gifts and what not, so this keeps them in total suspense as they have no frame of timing for their arrival.

>>150590655
I don't see it making a difference unless they were told exactly when it would arrive. The mail is always crazy this time of year.

Okay /a/nons, it's time for a damage report.

List:
A. What tier you signed up for (25-50, 50-75, 75-100, etc)
B. How much you spent on your presents total
C. How much you spent on shipping

>>150591363
>50-75
>$54 on gift, plus $5 of supplies for card
>$11 on shipping

I dare say I did OK.

>>150591363
I'm in the 25-50 bracket and spent 83 so far (gifts and getting it sent to me). Still need to get them wrapped and sent, so probably close to 90.

>>150591363
2x $50-75
~$175
~$160, maybe a bit more now that I think about it. It wouldn't have been quite so high if international shipping didn't cost over twice as much as domestic.

Still totally going to do /ss/ again next year if it continues.

>when santaloli puts you in the wrong tier

>>150591451
I signed up for the 25-50 tier but have spent over $100 so far. I didn't know how fun this could be. At least next year I can sign up for the $100+ tier.

What does santaloli do if there an odd number of people signed up for each tier? IE if 3 people signed up for the $100-150 then there would be one guy left out to buy presents for. Would santaloli just give 2 $50-75 people the same anon so that his present was about the same value as the $100-15 he signed up for?

>>150591585
They are not matched in pairs so it doesn't matter how many people there are.
Anon1 buys for Anon2 who buys for Anon3 who buys for Anon1.

>>150591585
Anon 1 gives presents to Anon 2. Anon 2 gives presents to Anon 3. Anon 3 Gives presents to Anon 1.

It's A->B->C->D....Z->A sort of thing.
If three people sign up, A sends to B, B sends to C, and C sends to A.

Honestly, I should have signed up for the 150+ bracket. In 100-150, I feel like I need to keep it within those numbers, unlike when I was in the lower ones and could spoil the anons. I only signed up for the high bracket because they white-listed it, since I've gotten grinched 2/5 years.

>>150591363
A. 100-150
B. 275
C. 120

Spent 73 on gift, 10 on ingredients for cookies.
Haven't shipped it yet but I imagine about 15.

Most of the cost was buying post-it notes. They didn't have small packs of the color I wanted, so I had to get the 1200 pack for $20. On the bright side, I can fuck up 1190 times and still have enough for all my cards.

This I don't post them either. Until an anon seemed pretty worried and I just asked for his initials and it happened to be one of my giftees. I let him know that I had him covered.

The thought occurred to me, what if it was the case for the anon being a fag and threatening to grinch, what if he was my other giftee. I asked him for initials and he never posted them.

>>150592239

This is my fear for my anon from last year. Since he was away he asked to send them before or after christmas. I ended up sending them after since some shit happened on my end. I let him know though. I checked the tracking number and supposedly it was delivered.

I should ask.

I have no idea what to write in my cards.

Why would that change anything, if some cunt like you wants to grinch people all they need to do is post the initials and nothing else.

>>150572125
>Not the curry edit
I'm kind of disappointed.

Cards are done and written. Just gathering all the extras and waiting for things to dry.

Finally got everything I need in.

M from CA

Your gift is shipping out this week.

A from NM
S H from NY

Your cards are going out too.

>>150595849
CUTE

>>150595732
What are your initials then? Maybe your santa is in here.

>>150588202
I hope you like it when you do open it, thanks for letting me know you got it.

I'm a bit late, and it's probably bait, but fuck you.
The whole point of this shit is to give, not receive. The organizers say from the start that there's a risk and you participating means that you accept it. Fucking with a persons holidays, a person that had nothing to do with someone gifting you no less, simply because you didn't have your way is probably the shittiest thing you could do. Don't be an idiot.

>>150596112
I would be more upset if I never got confirmation that my cards arrived than if I got grinched.

JEBUS CHRIST is it expensive to send a letter internationally from canada. I just checked canadapost and my options are $2.50, $66, $78, and $97. The $2.50 is fine, but I was just so surprised at the other 3 costing so much. I hope it would be overnight delivery at those prices.

Is it just me, or is shipping in general more expensive this year?
Every other year my shipping labels were only 9-13$, but packages that are smaller and lighter than those cost me upwards of 16$ a piece this year.

Jesus you better get it sent via Air Force One for that price jump.

>>150596474
I dread to find out how much it will cost to send my gift, but I'm guessing around $25, and that's just to the next province over.

Ha ha, I know right? Sorry to my anons if their cards are late, but those prices are far too much for a single card.

Would it be okay to write the same short message on each card?

Cmon anon, put more effort into it than that, at least try make it personal, a couple minutes effort means all the world to the receiver.

I'm a person of few words, so I don't know what to say.

JH from NC, just wanted to let you know I fucking hate you, every time i read your initials i think it's me for a second

>>150587976
That's me there! Hyped!

Thank you, whatever it may be.

>>150596740
I used a similar message for about 60% of the message but then made something custom for the rest.

>>150596345
Just drive across the border and mail it in the US. Lower price. Simple as that. Unless you're one of those Snowed in Eskimos in Northern Alberta.

AM of OR here, just got back from work to my card from IL, love the Ippo/Volg, man.

Also got my gift from godknowswhere, a gold wrapping on what I'm assuming is a CD with Jotaro on it. If you sent this, just wanted to let you know I got it, don't have any initials or a location to ping you with, so this is all I can do.

>>150596980
I've already wished them a merry christmas and insult their waifu. What else do I need to say?

>>150596994
I don't live too far from the border, but I don't think making such a trip would be worth the time and gas.

>>150597079
>I don't think making such a trip would be worth the time and gas.

Not having to deal with the Canadian Post is well worth the trip.

SA from Russia, it says your gift is awaiting to get picked up at your local post office.
not sure how it works at your place, but it's there.

>>150597356
Heh, good point. But I think I would be better off paying the additional dollar or two compared to whatever the US would charge me.

>>150597504
Even if the original looked bad, at least it looked like you put in some effort.

>>150597552
You know you're right, better to have something that looks a little rough but with obvious love put into it, thanks anon. I'll tidy it up a little and stick with it.

>>150597636
I considered doing the same myself and just printing off a single image. But cutting out and gluing the parts together just shows that more effort was put into the card.

>>150591828
Ah damn, well judging by the tracking it should be there by the 10th so be on the lookout!

Does anyone have a link to last years photobucket album? I haven't seen it in the archive, just albums for '12 and '16.

Well it's a bit late now. The assignments have been sent out and all that's left is to wait until the 26th. Or whenever people realize their gifts aren't actually coming and they make a /ss/ thread to whine about it.

You're all cucks, enjoy getting grinched this year. And the next.

Alright, time for some initials:

J.Anon from TX : Your gift will be sent out Wednesday

LN from LA
TB from IL
GR from CA
Mr. M from CA
R from AL
MB from WA
JR from OH
EM from FL
BB from MA
ES from VA
DC from NJ
TI from WA

Your cards will be sent on Wednesday

>>150598584
>not knowing that 3/4 of the fun is giving not getting

>>150598584

>And the next.

Here's where your plan falls apart. Could also just turn the whitelist down to like 30/40 buck maximum, so all you'd be getting is shitty Beach Queen figs and phone cards.

>>150598642
4/4 is ruining other peoples fun.

>>150598657
That would never happen because the number of people that enter at higher brackets account for way too much of the participants. The people hosting this event post the details in every OP anyways so I could just sign up a bunch of fake accounts for cheaper brackets.

>>150598371

>sign up multiple addresses with random names under fresh Gmail accounts
>copy and paste random MAL accounts or series into wishlist
>sign up for the highest bracket that doesn't need to be whitelisted
>mail everyone anthrax and/or bombs

Law of averages says I'll get you a few times, even if I have to crack a few unfortunate eggs along the way.
