I ordered badges for my whole family at the same time. My wife and I got our badges but we did not get our kids badges. Why is that?

Don't quote me on this but, I'm pretty sure they do things in categories: Adult, children, vip. ect. ect.

I hate to be a bother but, I have some friends of mine who are in the same boat as myself who would also like to know.
I registered as a staff member at the last meeting and was wondering a few questions.
1. Do you send them out if you are a staffer?
2. (and I know your getting this question a lot and I apologize) When would you be sending them out if you do?
Thank you and sorry for bugging you

In all the past years, staff badges have not been mailed, but picked up at the start of the con, so I would figure that would continue this year.

Staff badges will be either given out at con or sent out just before it, it is still undetermined. this is being done so people dont register as a staff member and then dont report in at con.

I will check on this, normally they are done in batches. We do print each category separately, due to different backgrounds.

I see, Alright thank you for filling me in ^^

Well, I e-mailed about not getting my badge the first time around when my wife got hers. I ordered them both on the same day. On April 29th I got an e-mail stating that my replacement badge was mailed and I should receive it in from 7-10 days. I'm still waiting. This is becoming ridiculous. I sent another inquiry in today and supplied my address again in case they somehow got it wrong between entering my wife in and then entering me in.

Brandon... Brandon.. Brandon. You've been to my house numerous times. You wound me deeply if you don't know my address.

I agree, I ordered my VIP earlier this year and still haven't got mine.

If you ordered you badge within the past month or so, dont worry it will come. I am not sure where we are at on printing.

still nothing......... the waiting game continues. is there a certain point where i should try to contact someone if it dosent arrive?

pyronine · « **Reply #58 on:** May 16, 2010, 05:04:16 pm »

Please be patient, you will receive it.

*If there was an error in your registration info, your badge will be available at will call at con.*

Registration is run by volunteers, we are not paid for it, hence why we have real jobs. So give it time, you will get it.

***Vip badges have not been printed yet (due to batching), but will be soon.***

Okay. I didn't find it on the site or the question on here.

if we got our badge, do we still go to check in?
Or just straight to the convention.

I got my badge like two weeks after I ordered it.

nyahaha · « **Reply #67 on:** June 01, 2010, 08:19:43 pm »

so do we have to mail in a parental permission form to get our badges? I ordered mine but did nothing with a permission form...

cloud-9 · « **Reply #69 on:** June 02, 2010, 02:46:56 pm »

pyronine, i am under 18 and didnt send in a adult signature paper (i do have one however, just didnt send it in) so if I bring that to con I will be able to pick up my badge at will call if I show my ID and my permission form?

pyronine · « **Reply #70 on:** June 02, 2010, 06:08:51 pm »

TO ALL: I was mistaken when i quoted some things i had heard. Because of that, i have removed my entries, and consolidated them here.
Please email registration@kumoricon.org If it has been over 3 months since you ordered your badge, and we have not contacted you.

On Thursday June 3rd, i officailly became Registration Manager. Because of that i have re-read all policies.

Here are some FAQ's

Do we have to send in a parental permission form with our order?
No, you do not have to. You can bring the form when you check in.

If we got our badge, do we still go to check in?
Yes, we need everyone to check in. At check in, we will ask for parental permission form if you are under 18. It is also where you will pick up your lanyard, badge holder, and swag bag (if available). Check in is also used to verify that your cosplay outfit follows the rules of the convention and any weapons will be peace bonded too.

Its been a few months since i ordered my badge, where is it?
That depends. Badges are printed in batches, so if it is a vip badge or child (not youth) it may have not been printed yet.
However, things that will cause your badge not to be printed or mailed, are:
1: wrong or missing info (ex, somebody used Nov 31st as their birthday, there are only 30 days in Nov)
2: typo in your mailing address (ex, 1345 se 14th st, but you live at 12345 se 14th st), the post office may return it to us.
3: incorrect personal info / aka your real name is a characters name. (ex, 5gen as a legal first name)
If there is an issue with your information, every reasonable effort will be used to contact you to update your info, unless you are under 18, in which case we will try to contact your parent or legal guardian first.

FYI, If you must have your badge and there are issues with it, (over 3 months) contact Registragtion@kumoricon.org otherwise it will be available at WILL CALL the day of the convention.

If you have paid for the convention, we will make sure you get in to the convention

I am staff this year, will i receive my badge at con or before?
Last i was told, it will be at con. This is to ensure that if you sign up for staff, that you report in at con.

cloud-9 · « **Reply #71 on:** June 02, 2010, 07:07:29 pm »

Ah ok. So if i dont get it, just go in the pre-reg. line and tell them and it should be there in will call?

KHking · « **Reply #72 on:** June 02, 2010, 09:28:21 pm »

Attention VIPS:
I'm a VIP. It rocks!
So all of my friends were bragging about their badges and I still hadn't got mine.
Well, after emailing the big people, I was informed that VIPS will not recieve their badges in the mail because of all the stuff we get with it. There is no need to worry, because VIPS can skip the line for will-call too!

nyahaha · « **Reply #73 on:** June 07, 2010, 11:13:08 pm »

thank you pyronine for answering my question! : D

kalagei · « **Reply #74 on:** June 08, 2010, 07:00:11 am »

There was one other that I want to add to your List Pyro;

Having extremely long badge names will sometimes delay the printing process

It actually takes us more time to print large badge names due to how our software works, so we move those to the end of the queue to take care of them all at once.

Does that include the VIP badges because I've yet to recieve mine.

Red Spark · « **Reply #79 on:** June 27, 2010, 09:47:24 pm »

Aaaalso: If any of us happened to register earlier this week, (well, like, 12:00 AM on June 25th) would our badge possibly be included in that 450+ batch of badges?

VIP badges have not been printed yet. They will be printed soon and held at will call to ensure all VIP's get their "extras".

Please contact the VIP liaison for info.

Any Badge Ordered (ONLINE) Before June 28th at 9am, were printed. All "Mail in" orders should be processed by now, however, I can not guarantee this as we have no control of the US MAIL.

so if I ordered mine in April, it should be coming? : D

I actually ordered my VIP badge to be delivered by mail. And I just talked with your liason and she said she has some questions he'd like answered.

Wuntvor · « **Reply #85 on:** June 28, 2010, 09:07:25 pm »

I suppose I should let you all know I finally got mine. It was hand delivered during the last KumoriCon meeting here in Eugene.

Now all I have to do is try to not lose it before con.

******************* UPDATE ************************

If you have Badge 380 to 620, an email was sent out to you. Due to an error in the registration database, a few badges were mailed to the improper addresses. If you received the correct badge, or received the incorrect badge but has since then received the correct badge, please disregard the email.

If you did not receive the correct badge (somebody else's name on it), your badge will be held at will call. Please check the second email for clarification on this.
