This may not be the right place for this, but I searched multiple times and cannot find any reference to this anymore. It's as if the info has disappeared.

When do we get the acurazine stickers if we donated on the charity drive? I'm wondering if I was forgotten since it's now been 4 months and I haven't seen anything. I even recall having to send a message showing I made the donation.

when i donated a couple years ago i got mine sometime in FEB. Seems like you should have gotten yours by now.

I remember the fine print was you get a "chance" of receiving stickers.

At least that was how it was a few years ago.

polobunny

Pretty sure it was sticker for everybody, which I did not get either.

The post is missing a fine print.

Let me know if you ever get your sticker

Was it a 'chance' of getting them or not? If it was, that should have been made a lot clearer. While I have no problem supporting a charity, when Azine ONLY makes stickers during this drive and uses that as a way to entice donations, they need to be MUCH more clear that there is only a chance of getting them.

Steven Bell - is that true or is there just a massive delay in shipping them out? I even filled out the google docs for right after I donated.

I really hope this was just an oversight and not a 'tough luck pal' you weren't one of the people that ended up getting them. I donated 2 days after it was opened so that should be plenty early enough to ensure one gets them. Then again, Azine makes a big enough stink about not ever 'selling' stickers that I guess enticing donations and then not delivering anything i sure fire way to say they weren't 'sold'.

I've been donating for several years consecutively and this year I didn't get any stickers. Not that I really care since I normally just give them away.

I donated the last two years in a row and never received any stickers. I commented on it after missing them the first year, but after not getting them this year I was disappointed but didn't say anything until now. The truth is, there are dozens of charities that vie for our dollars every holiday season and we all have a limited amount of funds to give to the ones we choose. As mentioned, there doesn't seem to be any other way to get A-Zine stickers so this was how I had decided to advertise my membership.

Hopefully Steven can address some of your concerns shortly.

I donated two years ago and got stickers let's put the pitchforks away guys. if you're donating just to get stickers, you're not donating, you're buying stickers.

polobunny

Some might have bought stickers and not received them, then. You can't entice people with prizes and not give them unless you want to end up with irate users.

thoiboi

Call paypal





I kid. I donated and sort of forgot about the stickers until they arrived sometime later.. so i may be angry if i didn't get them either..

I'm sure Mr. Bell will chime in and clear things up.

polobunny

Oh yeah I'm not concerned and I believe it simply might be a misunderstanding, simply pointing that the text leaves users thinking they will assuredly get stickers with every donations over $25.

thoiboi

I'm sure you guys will get your stickers, Steven's just been busy with his new 'Vette

has anyone PMed him to ask? or hell even post on the thread itself?

Like I said earlier, it's missing a fine print.

The stickers are never promised, as evidently seen.

I'm here....I'm here.


I wasn't aware that the stickers didn't go out. Screaming', send me a PM with your name and address and I'll send you some extra stickers that I've got.

polobunny

What about other members who did not get stickers?

i didn't get stickers either

hisost

Same here, never received mine.

Greenman604

I heard back from both HeelToe and RV6 about the holiday drive, but never received stickers either if anyone is keeping a tally. Hope it's just a paperwork mess-up.

Steven Bell

I'll check with the people at IB and see what's going on for everyone.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Guys,

I have checked into this-it looks like the stickers were accidentally not mailed out.

If you already received stickers....enjoy. If not, these will be mailed out next week and expect to see them in the next 2-3 weeks.


Sorry about this....cheers!

Sounds good, thanks, Steven!

Glad to help, guys. Again, I'm really sorry about this. Please send me a PM if you have any other questions.

Did anyone ever receive their stickers?

polobunny

No, I messaged Steven and he said there's some on my way now.

The sticker thing was a fiasco it seems...

I've already given up on my stickers. Could always just cut it out yourself anyways, adhesive backed vinyl is like $1 a sheet.

I got mine but only after repeated asking and Steven mailed them directly to me. I don't think IB had or has any intention of sending them out as they said.

I'd like to see the charity drive results and how much was actually donated if anything. I couldn't find anything mentioning azine on the charity website.

Just following the motto, "trust, but verify."

While I don't doubt the legitimacy of the donation drives, I do find it weird that a generic donation widget was used instead of the Child's Play donation widget they provide. The provided one from Child's Play can also be customized to track who donated and distribute rewards as well.

Maybe it's just easier to do a large private donation instead of set one up (Even though their site says "Digital fundraisers are required to use the Child’s Play Donation Widget, as it allows the community to easily verify that a fundraiser is sending donations directly to Child’s Play.")?

Still no stickers

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Guys, I'm really, really sorry about this. When you first let me know that they hadn't been sent out, I contacted all the right people. They let me know that they'd be sent out in a week or two.


A few of you have sent me a PM about these still not going out. Last night, I sent another e-mail to the people in charge. I'll keep you updated on what I hear from them.

Greenman604

Still patiently waiting. I just wanna show my 'Zine pride!

Ditto lol.

Just want to say that I got mine personally from Steven Bell last week through mail...
