Understandable...however, don't worry about it, Stuff. We found your address and your badge went out, so you are fine. Beryl TurnerACen 2007

- Just for the heck of it - what is the email of this Beryl Turner?

And you probably got a quick response, 'cuz maybe they did find your address and they just wanted to inform you that it did go out.

You should probably ask

1. When did it go out ?
2. How did it go out ?
3. When should you expect your badge to come in and also tell them that you're in Canadia. So they can consider international mailing.

Oh, also one more thing :
If anyone official does respond here - could you also answer this question :

For those individuals who are getting their mail-in badges, where do we get our programming books and other goodies?

If the last day for badge mailing was the 14th, why idd the payment page of the Online registratiopn say the 15th? Because it does indeed still say it is available until the 15th, so my boyfriend and I paid the extra $1.50 on the 15th. Are you saying it took our money anyways and we'll still have to pick up the badges there?

I saw this earlier, and I wondered about it because I did this too. Does anyone know anything about this??

At least you know for sure that they actually sent your badge out ... a majority of us don't even know if ours are in the process of being mailed. *le sigh*

Just so everyone knows - This is what Berry (A staff member for Acen) posted in a different but similar topic :

They are printed. I know because I have a finished one. The past two ACEN staff meetings have been "Badge stuffing" meetings i.e. stuffing into envelopes and mailing them. Hopefully someone else on staff will respond, as I have no more information because that's not my department.

The printed that he is referring to is the 10th Anniversary Badges.

[[AN]The_Stuff]

just hope that i get the 10th anniversary badge like i wanted.

Good question! Last year I was totally bummed that I missed out on a book and swag because I got an artist alley badge. For those that have our badges mailed, or are recieving exhibitor badges, is there a way to get the program books and stuff?

[Tiresias79]

In another thread somewhere, they posted that there will be a special line in the Reg area to pick up the goodie bags for those who opted to have them mailed. This is supposed to be open Thursday night as well as all of the other days.

I asked this question before myself, and I was told that if you come on registration/badge pick up Thursday night, you can just go and pick up your program book and bag without waiting in line if you show your badge to a staff member. I am not sure if the same process will apply for Friday though.

I haven't received my badge yet, my registration was complete on March 7th, and I live in the Chicago area, 45 minutes away from the Acen office. I can only guess that my badge wasn't mailed out on April 16th or recently for that matter, because I don't believe the post office would take this long to deliver the badge when I live so near. I'm just hoping, just like everyone else, that the badge will be in my mailbox soon! Ah, the waiting part is the hardest!

[alucard_666]

like many others i havnt recieved my badge yet. but i finially found a monocle my cosplay is complete!!!!!

Note: I am just a user.

But from my understanding, if your registration status is complete, you got an email saying that you're complete - and you checked your checking/credit card/whatever and the payment was received -

Then yes, all that remains to be seen is the badge (if you checked off that you wanted Acen/Maps to mail you your badge otherwise you have to wait in the pre-reg line)

that makes no sense, because BOTH of the checks that I sent for my brother and I have been cashed quite a while ago...yet both of our electronic registration status pages still read: "submitted"....O__o

Maybe I'm just too optimistic, but I think when the badges finally do come in the next week or so, the first thing we'll do when we get to ACen is savagely hug every ACen staff member we can find, then kick them in the shins for making us worry this much.

Lmao! All we can do for now is sit back and have a little faith.

[akaikurama]

Let's not scare the staffers, they might not want to offer this again next year!!!! Although, wouldn't it be funny when the con started if they all were wearing shin gards!!!

[Bettachi]

HaHA!! The staffers would start fearing US!!!!

[`Aygen`]

Hmm ... 1 hour until post comes ... Will it be or wont it be?! That IS the question!

[Bettachi]

*hops on bike*
I'm going to go check the mail now!!!

*crosses fingers*

[Bettachi]

Nope. Not today.

*le sigh* I'm 200+ miles from my apartment, and my mailbox. Even if by some miracle it is there, I would not know

[Bishou_Hunter]

I imagine that the ones actually mailing out the badges to us have calculated the shipping time and the time counting down to the con itself.. So I figure everyone will get their's in time..... Right?

[Bettachi]

I'm sure the staff has all this planned out. I doubt they would just randomly pick a day to start sending them out so close to the Con.
I trust them. And even if something goes wrong, all we have to do is bring our Confirmation stuff to the Con.

But...yea, the FIRST person to get their badge in the mail...let everybody else know!

[GaaraFreak]

I'm not gonna worry too much about it until next week.. but has it been confirmed at all that the badges HAVE been mailed out?

[stomptoMYbeat]

I get mad every day when my mom checks the mail. Just because I want to experience the excitement when I pull my badge out of the mailbox Unfortunately, I didn't experience that today. *le sigh* Perhaps Monday.
