HELP! I got an empty envelope with a big hole.. and the pin had gone. Maybe it has fallen into the Atlantic Ocean. Anyway, it did not make it to Switzerland. <BR>What can I do??

Urusula, I feel your pain. I also received a Fodors envelope with a big hole torn in the corner. Now was it the US Post or the Swiss Post?

Ursula May 29th, 2001 03:24 AM

Chris: Maybe nor... what about the posts in between like the UK or French... ? :-) <BR>In my opinion, the quality of the envelope is too bad for such a pin. I guess it's an American envelope, sorry. <BR>Where can we order it again?

Lisa May 29th, 2001 03:54 AM

Well,. I'm one of those who still has not received a Fodor's envelope whether it be empty, ripped, slightly torn or other wise. <BR>AND I was one of those who kept checking every 5 minutes from 6 am on The Wednesday when we could order it. <BR> <BR>Oh well, I guess I won't be a walking advertisement for Fodors.

Mine arrived this morning in the UK-envelope and pin in tact.

I too received mine today here in the North of England, completely intact. I shall be wearing it in Spain this summer - if you see me, say hello!

I received an empty envelope with the corner torn off, here in Munich. I appreciate their thought and effort, but it was pretty silly to put a pin in a regular envelope and send it overseas.

Lets see 2 in Switzerland and 1 in Germany did not receive pins, but 2 persons in UK did, it's obvious they were intercepted in France. Perhaps those of us in Europe who received just an empty torn envelope should just pin said envelope to our shirts and wear it proudly

carolyn May 29th, 2001 10:25 AM

That's a thought, Chris. Laminate the Fodor's return address and wear it. Unless mine came today, I haven't received anything in KY.

OP May 29th, 2001 11:03 AM

Nothing in Maryland yet. Don't know if I have the guts to wear it. My family would probably disown me!!

Curt May 29th, 2001 11:26 AM

I live in Kansas City metro area and mine came in mail Tuesday before Memorial Day weekend. We were in DC for the holiday but I did not see any others there (maybe the bikers were wearing theirs under their leather chaps!)...nice pin and I plan to wear it.

I GOT AN ENVELOPE!! With a hole in <BR>it :-(. <BR> <BR>And a pin. Thanks Fodors. It's appreciated

Jen May 29th, 2001 01:15 PM

Yippee! <BR> <BR>PIN came this weekend in Boston! Thanks Fodors! (Envelope did have hole; but PIN was within!)

It's SF Bay reporting in with a heavy heart. No pin yet. Losing hope out here.

Gerry May 29th, 2001 01:44 PM

I got mine in SF Bay Area. It came while I was on vacation in Las Vegas and Arizona. It's postmarked 5/21 and perfectly intact--no holes etc. It looks much better than I expected. If you haven't got it by now, I would send an e-mail. Good Luck! Question now is how do I get one for my wife?

Erin May 29th, 2001 02:38 PM

How do you get a pin? i am leaving in two weeks for Europe

Art May 29th, 2001 02:54 PM

Well, I'm going home now to see if I have any mail!!! <BR>Erin, they had a signup for about 2 days 6 weeks ago. You could email them, but I don't know if there are any left. <BR>Art <BR>

Erin May 29th, 2001 03:31 PM

Thank you Art!

Art May 29th, 2001 07:54 PM

All I got was the hole(or a collection of them). No envelope, no pin. <BR>

xxx May 29th, 2001 08:04 PM

Oh Art, I'm so sad for you--after all the anticipation, what a disappointment. <BR> <BR>Still nothing for me here in the SF Bay area yet :-( <BR> <BR>I'm no longer holding my breath. <BR> <BR>
