Long story short, my gifter sent a message telling me they'd shipped my gift back in June.

I waited and, unfortunately, nothing came.

They messaged me and the tracking number put it as delivered. So, I checked with my front office and with the local post office just to see if it had slipped between the proverbial cracks. Nothing.

They contacted the seller to see if something happened at their end - with no response from the seller. Amazon (in their infinite wisdom) refunded my wonderful gifter, who immediately tried again with something different.

Two days ago, I got a message describing my incoming gift as "kind of related to something you mentioned you liked, plus a cross from what it looks like you are a fan of from your comment history" - which could have gone in about a dozen different directions - but went in the direction of Dr. Whooves from Gallopfrey.

Thanks, Summer Santa!
