    The site doesnt say when they will ship. Tomorrow is the last day to pre register however.

    They have to prepare the badges, and check fan club memberships before they can be shipped also

    My guess is that you will receive them (lucky you) by mail sometime between Aprils 1st and the 15th.

    Don't worry, they'll get there.

    Of all things, you should consider yourself lucky that you won't have to wait in line to get them at will call... like me... thanks Gen Con

    How are they being shipped this time? For C2, my badge was shipped Fed Ex in January. Lucky for me, I happened to be home when the guy showed up. I was like Steve Martin in "The Jerk"- The new phonebook's here! The new phonebook's here! Good thing I got the geekfest out of the way before the wife got home.

    I'll put this here instead of starting a new thread because its "kinda" related. Ok, so, story time...

    I bought my c3 registration in January. And for various reasons I thought they hadn't actually billed me yet. Well fast forward to this Tuesday, I still think they haven't billed the card I gave them for payment (a debit card) and I currently don't have enough money for it to be charged. Thinking it's most likely going to happen around now since the deadline is the 4th, I sent gencon registration an email (since the only other way to contact them is snail mail) saying how since they haven't billed me yet, could they cancel my registration. Now I never mentioned a "refund" and I hope beyond all hope that whoever gets that notices what I noticed not 5 min later. So I've sent the email, and I'm looking at my bank statements, and I finally see where it was they billed me. I freak out! I feel so dumb! I can't believe what I've done. So I immediately send them a second email with the first one attached begging for someone to notice that they had billed me and to completely ignore my first email. Because IF they do refund me, I'll loose $15, AND it's $15 extra to get a new badge because obviously I'll be getting it after the 4th of this month.

    I seriously doubt anyone has done anything this stupid, but are there any thoughts on what will happen in this situation. They haven't emailed me back, and I'm assuming that being the final days before the deadline they're getting swamped with emails, but still... Am I ok, or am I probably screwed? Thoughts? Comments? Name calling?

    I think that Fan Club members will be getting a special lanyard, like they did for C2.

    Sci-Fi Gal, you should be ok. They'll probably go thru the motions, find where they billed you, and reply with said information. Yippee, the Force is still with you and you'll be so happy you could pull the ears off a Gundark...

    They shouldn't refund you unless you ask for one. If for some reason they debit you again, just provide documentation (to your bank) that you've been billed twice and voila, your bank will correct. See, no problemo.

    hmm, I just bought my hyperspace fan club member ship mere minutes ago and updated my registration on the gen-con site to say I am a fan club member.
    I hope I was not too late to get my lanyard and family passes mailed with my badge so I don?t have to go to the will-call booth

    Should we post a poll & vote on a single design to use? That way, if we all know what we're looking for, the better the chances of finding each other. Just a thought.


    Oops. Wrong thread. Sorry. Moving now...

    Thank God they start shipping now. My wife and I are moving at the end of the month. I did not want my badge to show up at our old house.
