For some reason, I never caught on until this comment that the "Item Name" on the shipping notification is how many draws I'm being sent.

I recall in epilogue there was a note on the page that it had happened. I wonder if there is a benefit we will see from that?

Now I get to watch my treasure as it tries to navigate the shipping lanes and work its way towards my door. Feels like I'm back in Room 4 playing Plunder. I sure hope my package doesn't crash upon the reef.

Alms for the poor. The city was ransacked by Pirates and Barb Beard.

Good feeling of helping those in need is sufficient

Good point.

Well, either the PO has totally abandoned scanning of packages or it's taking just a touch longer for my package to start its journey, which is okay. This is always the follow-up fun to the runs, tracking and opening treasure. Something fun while we count the days to V8.

Mine too is "Shipping label created, USPS awaiting item" despite the email coming on Tuesday.

Well, Jeff has indicated that there are surprises in the V7 swag. So, maybe it took a little longer to package everything. We usually see some indication/Facebook post once all the packages have been handed off to USPS.

Facebook post appeared about an hour ago indicating that the V7 swag is out. Hoping to see some tracking updates later tonight and tomorrow.

really, really, really hoping my surprise is a great big ole steak, baked potato with extra butter, and mashed taters and brown gravy from Texas Roadhouse.

now, how many folks would be surprised by that?

After several days sitting in a USPS medium flat-rate box? "Surprised" wouldn't even begin to cover it.
