Rec'd while gone to Paris. Envelope ripped almost in half, but pin intact.

I want to say thank you to all those who have the numerous supportive remarks; I do not seek to embarrass or discredit Fodor's. Those of us who have a pin to wear feel like belong to a club within a club now - - we're not superior to anyone, and I hopoe that we exhibit exemplary friendship to anyone who spots us wearing the Fodors pins and asks us what they were. <BR> <BR>I wore my logo ribbon pins one day (all six of us did) and we got asked once - - but not by someone who recognized what they were. <BR> <BR>I'll update the tally once more, tonight or whenever this falls "naturally" to the third page or further back. <BR>

Rex, "surprise, surprise, surprise". Pin arrived today in Sydney totally intact and AOK. Took from May 21 to 6 June to get here. Please change my position on tally list. <BR> <BR>Thanks fodors.com

6 June? you have Wednesday's mail today (Monday)? Wow, Australia is more time zones ahead than I realized!! <BR> <BR>Sorry to poke fun, I'm sure you mean to say 4 June. Glad you got it. I'll have to re-tally later today, since I didn't do it last night. <BR>

Received intact pin with hole in envelope.

KD Jun 4th, 2001 12:14 PM

Never received anything so far. <BR>

Linda Jun 4th, 2001 12:35 PM

Rex, thank you for tallying this. Now, do you plan on doing anything with this info? Do you think Fodors will do anything with it? Sure hope so. I'd like to get a replacement for my lost pin, even if I have to pay for it. E-mailed Fordor's, but didn't get a reply.

Claye Jun 4th, 2001 03:46 PM

Rex, <BR> <BR>Add me to the recieved empty envelope list.

Me Jun 4th, 2001 03:55 PM

Got mine this weekend in a USPS envelope. Both Fodors and USPS envelope badly damaged, but the pin survived.

lisa Jun 4th, 2001 04:04 PM

Put me down as having received my pin, in perfect condition.

Rex Jun 4th, 2001 07:28 PM

Have received a pin - - 94 <BR>Received an empty envelope - - 29 <BR>Have not received anything - - 22 <BR> <BR>Responses to this "tally" on the US (or any other) forum (other than Europe), since I posted this thread there: two. <BR> <BR>As for "doing anything" with this info, I don't know. anyone who wants to cut and paste into a letter to [email protected] certainly has my permission. Since I am one of the people who received nothing, I am not sure what I would gain from asking again. I don't believe they are sitting on any big stockpile of 'em. <BR>

Thanks for tallying the pin count,Rex. I am interested in seeing how many got sent out etc. It got very confusing with all the different posts

mimi Jun 5th, 2001 07:14 AM

author Rex: I am new to this site. what is this pin everyone is complaining about? It's pupose, etc....thanks

Ray Jun 5th, 2001 09:21 AM

Rex <BR>Fodors probably didn't send you a pin because they didn't want to do anything that would further associate you with this forum.

nonegitivecommentsplease Jun 5th, 2001 03:32 PM

Ray, <BR>Couldn't you resist bashing Rex just this once?

Vicki Jun 6th, 2001 03:00 PM

Rex, <BR>Hi it's Vicki from Idaho. I got an empty envelope full of holes and with the return address ripped off inside a postal envelope with an apology note on the back.:( What a bummer I really wanted that pin.

Tracy Jun 6th, 2001 03:15 PM

Hey Rex! Switch me from the "received nothing" to the "received envelope only" list. :-(( <BR> <BR>Thanks for doing this!

mary c Jun 6th, 2001 03:15 PM

Rex, I ordered mine 1st wk of March - rcvd. nothing. Sent check, too! :)

Florence Jun 6th, 2001 11:21 PM

Geneva, Switzerland, here. Pin received in good order yesterday. I'm on the lookout for Fodors pins in the streets.

Robbie Jun 7th, 2001 06:17 PM

Dear Rex <BR> <BR> My pin was in the mail when I got home from Germany. The envelope had a small hole in it, but not big enough to lose my pin.
