Title: WonderCon 2017 Badge Mail Watch
Post by: RSilvaConFan on March 13, 2017, 02:15:31 PM
I got my WonderCon Badge in the mail today - However, my friend, who is a pro, hasn't gotten hers yet - anybody know if they are sending alphabetically, date of purchase, or attendees first, then pros?

Nothing more specific than this... yet, from:

http://comic-con.org/toucan/reminder-all-colonies-of-kobol-wondercon-anaheim-2017-badges-begin-shipping-soon

Quote
Badges (for those who purchased by February 27) will begin shipping at least 2 - 3 weeks prior to March 31, 2017. Badges will be shipped in batches, so please do not be alarmed if a friend, family member, or Viper Pilot receives their badge before/after you! Badges not delivered for any reason (lost/stolen/destroyed by Cylons) must be picked up onsite at the Attendee Registration Area in Hall D.
 
As a reminder, we are shipping badges directly to the attendee associated with that badge, instead of the buyer. For example, Katee Sackhoff paid for her badges, your badges, and Edward James Olmos’ badges. Katee’s badge will be shipped to her, your badge will be shipped to you, and Edward’s badge will be shipped to him. However, international attendees will still pick up their badges onsite

My daughter's badge came today, but not my son's or my husband's. Weird!

For those who are curious, her (3-Day) badge gas Midnight, Texas on it, and her name is actually on the slip of paper behind. The badge setup is very similar to last year at WC and SDCC, with the flimsy plastic sleeve and the badge inserted inside.

Just checked the mail and my badge was there. Yay. Something tangible. It seems like I've been planning for multiple events with nothing to show for it. So it's nice to have something.  :)

So far, nothing for me. Hoping it comes to tomorrow! Good to know that CCI is shipping them now.

Added "WonderCon 2017" to the title to clarify which year and convention this thread is for (in case we need to quickly reference it in future years).

I got my badge today,  but my daughter didn't get hers,  and her best friend hasn't gotten hers either.  I bought them all on the  same day, but mine first, so maybe they're going in order by the time they were bought?

Confirming that as a pro, I have also not yet received my badge. I think tomorrow is the deadline for pros to register, so maybe they will start sending them out then?

I hope that's the case, because I need something to look forward to while sitting through this awful East Coast mid-March blizzard >:(

Still no badge for me. Mail came and went, still zip. Hopefully it comes tomorrow.

If badges were purchased prior to 2/27 and don't arrive, there is always plan... D:

Badges not delivered for any reason (lost/stolen/destroyed by Cylons) must be picked up onsite at the Attendee Registration Area in Hall D.

So I got an email from CCI saying my badge should arrive by March 24th. Talk about slow and cutting it somewhat close. Lol

Yep, we got emails too, even my daughter (whose badge already arrived) and me (whose badge was cancelled because I now have a press badge to be picked up onsite). It seems like this was some kind of auto-generated thing.

Title: Re: WonderCon 2017 Badge Mail Watch
Post by: Iris on March 18, 2017, 03:30:16 AM
I received my 3-day badge yesterday (3/17/17) for the badge watch. Unfortunately I can't attend unless an INSANE post-surgeries improvement happens ;;. I actually realized it was too ill still to attend 2 days after the deadline to refund (of course.) Oh for the record, I live in San Diego Country, in case that's relevant to anyone in terms of speed.

Unfortunately, I can't speak properly (it was expected from the second cerebrovascular surgery) and am in speech therapy multiple days a week. And there are also other issues I'm still recovering from. So, maybe I'll improve enough to go because my reservation for my hotel can be cancelled until 3/30/17 at least. However, I doubt my doctors (or my parents who I'm staying in because my mum is a very experienced NP and I need observation to be safe in case I need to be rushed to the hospital and I lived alone previously) will okay me to drive up or take the train up alone.

Fingers-crossed that things change though (but it was a bit depressing to receive the badge knowing I 85% can't go.)

I got an email that my badge has shipped, however I have a press badge so my understanding was that I would pick it up on-site. I'm just keeping an eye on the mail to see what happens before emailing them this upcoming week.

I also got a weird email a few weeks ago about how I hadn't yet claimed my press badge even though I had and when I emailed about that, they told me it was a mistake so really I'm just concerned they've got me in the wrong email groups or something (though I'm still getting a few press opportunities mailed to me).

It's been a strange first year of Wondercon press for me.

I have a press badge and also got a shipment notification.  I assumed it was because i had a WC badge before i had a Press badge & the shipment notification was for the regular badge.

I've always just had a press badge.

This was my previous issue that they confirmed was a mistake: https://twitter.com/kyleewho/status/836758184043950082

Ditto for me.

Still no other WC badges here, so we're missing 2 of the 3 we expected to have mailed to us.

My husband's badge arrived today.

So 3 badges purchased within a couple of minutes of each other right when badges went on sale, all with the same last name at the same address, and all 3 of the arriving days apart.

I just don't get it?????
Title: Re: WonderCon 2017 Badge Mail Watch
Post by: mlgagne on March 21, 2017, 06:36:14 PM
I still haven't received my badge, but a scary realization dawned on me tonight: in the shipping notification e-mail that CCI sent me, they left the first digit off of my zip code...even though it's listed correctly when I log into the Member ID system ???

So now, I'm *really* hoping that it's just taking super long because I live on the east coast and that the missing digit was just a part of the whole e-mail glitch - i.e. where people who are press got shipping notifications even though they shouldn't have, etc. Because the alternative is that my zip code was copied over incorrectly, my badge is lost in the mail, and it likely won't be re-routed to my house before I leave next week. And I am not particularly fond of that alternative...

Your move, CCI.

Interesting. I purchased my badge the same day you could buy WonderCon badges, while two other family members did theirs. One was 1 hour after me; the other 1 month later. While mine came today, so did theirs. Yes, same address. Maybe that's why my badge came now? The other two delayed it? Idk. Just weird that those 3 badges arrived on different days for you.

Yeah, I'm not sure.  We live in San Diego too.  Guessing my badge was just mailed out in a latter batch when then sent them out.  I got mine in the mail today so I'm all set.  Excited for wondercon  ;D

Mlgagne, I would contact CCI now. My suspicion is that if your badge does not arrive you will need to do onsite pickup. But CCI needs to know to 'turn off' the missing Bradley.

Thanks guys! I will give it until Friday (the date listed in the e-mail) to factor in my distance from SoCal and possible re-routing time. If I don't receive it by then, I will e-mail CCI to have them turn it off and inquire about picking up a new one onsite.

Was your zip code correct n the envelope?

It actually was correct on the envelope! Ahh, CCI - always unpredictable, haha.

But regarding that: I was telling a coworker about the situation, and she was wondering if the automated e-mail wasn't pulled from some sort of spreadsheet. The first number in my zip code is a zero, which may not have pulled onto a spreadsheet - generally speaking, it would just go to the next number instead. So perhaps that explains the discrepancy?

Whatever the case may be, at least I have my badge on hand! :D
