    Got mine today, too. The letter had seemingly been opened (guess that's the post office for you), but everything was in there and intact. Thanks!

    See, this is why I asked not to send pins to me. A few years ago I was supposed to receive pins from ocremix.org, and I received an empty opened letter. Be glad yours was only opened, your post office is definitely better than what we have here in Italy! :(
    People who trade stuff with Italians on eBay are horrified by our mail system. Only insured/traced packages have a slight chance to arrive safely (and even then, my 12" Sonic Statue I bought one year ago from First4Figures arrived with a damaged package).

    Just got mine, with a torn envelope and a "Sorry, we're incompetent bastards" slip to go with it. Still, everything else has arrived intact, and now I have snazzy pins!

    Mine came sometime in the last several days (don't always check my box too often as it's over a mile away from the house). :D

    I was wondering what that odd envelop with no return address was... I just opened it to find a nice card and some pins. Thanks!

    I'm sorry to say that my household has not been delivered a set of beautiful, shiny buttons. I initially suspected that the reason might be:
    But this doesn't make sense in my case because I was granted the 'basic' donation achievement quite a while ago (which confirms that my username, real name and billing address are all on-record and tied together). Having waited a week, now is an appropriate time to start calling the Royal Mail to ask what the heck might be up. I've also sent SS a PM with my billing address to see if it may have been incorrect somehow.

    I've not got them either, yet. I'm still gonna wait a li'l while, personally, unless anyone else thinks I should get to calling and complaining.

    I wonder if this person could be me, I have used mutiple PayPal accounts in the past, due to
    restrictions on the number of cards used. If you could possibly find the time to PM the email address used I could confirm if it was me or not.

    EDIT: broken quote box.

    Still don't have my pins :(
     
  10. I would donate if it were not for the fact that I have no credit card, am unemployed, and a minor.

    Still, I hope you receive the funding you need.

    One more raised hand in the "Still No Pins" camp.

    Yeah, no luck here either. :(
     
  15. I can't really contribute cause I don't have PayPal or a debit card. But, I did come up with a advert slogan:
    "Make the site second best to Sega Retro, No. 1. Support Sonic Retro Now!"
    We can have members sell Country Meats where they live. Country Meats has fundraising options for student organizations, as well as special interest groups, like this one. You can find out more about Country Meats here.
