When You Recieve A Gift Via Mail...
do you call the person who sent it right away to thank them? We sent 3 people gifts from Cheryl & Co and they were all delivered and as of now no one has e-mailed or called to thank us for the gifts.

Wow, that's kinda rude.
It depends on who it is. Usually yes, but my dad and I aren't that close and we have a hard time talking on the phone so we both tend to email to say the gifts arrived. But we tell the other one somehow.

If the gift is for a specific occasion, like my birthday or Christmas, I wait until I often the gift that day, then call to say thanks.

I would check with them to make sure they got it. If the email was from a company maybe it got stuck in the spam filter.

Re: When You Recieve A Gift Via Mail...
I would absolutely call to thank them.
However some people do not open their packages until Christmas, so the recieve may not know who it was from yet.
I actually have this with family. It tracking said it arrived, but I got not call yet.

Re: When You Recieve A Gift Via Mail...
I try to call or email within a few days. Sometimes Im really busy by the time I get home and receive my mail its already 630 then i have to eat dinner and get the baby to bed and then its usually too late to call someone so i wind up waiting until the weekend or the next day during my work if i have time.
Its not that i dont appreciate the gifts its finding the time to say thanks that is sometimes hard

Re: When You Recieve A Gift Via Mail...
I sent them cookies from Cheryl & Co so they probably would open the box it came in. I know that all 3 packages were delivered because the company told me all 3 were signed for.

Re: When You Recieve A Gift Via Mail...
Many people wait until Christmas to open them... so I'd give them until a day or so after Christmas... Maybe they don't know it was edible?

I received a very nice gift from a director on our board and I thought an emailed thank you would be a bit impersonal, so I sent a thank you card the next day.

Re: When You Recieve A Gift Via Mail...
I see one was to your boss -- I'd be surprised he or she didn't say anything to you at work after it arrived! 
As for DH's friends... Are they guys? Single? If so... don't expect this type of manners. Sounds bad and I know not ALL guys are like that -- but most don't "get it."

Re: When You Recieve A Gift Via Mail...
DH's friends are married and my boss is married too so I am really surprised that none of the wives at least e-mailed me saying that they got the gift.

I honestly never call or email; I send a handwritten thank you in the mail.

I usually do, but I also suck and getting out hand written thank yous. Maybe they sent you a hand written thank you instead of calling?

DH's friends thanked us for the gifts this weekend. Now I am just waiting to hear from my boss or his wife.
