+Mcdoodles & Family Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) I wanted to give everyone a quick update on the Deep In The Heart of Texas spinning coin. We have recieved a picture of the coin, and an anticipated date of arrival. It looks like these will be in the first week of April barring any unusual circumstances. I have about 100 coins still available of this edition of 500, get them while there hot!!! E-mail mcdoodles (at) excite.com and I will send you a Paypal invoice this weekend. This unique 1.5 bronze coin has a Texas cutout that spins on an axis inside of the coin. The front features an epoxy coated Lone Star state flag. The back features a family of night cachers under a starry Texas sky (that glows in the dark). With" Deep In The Heart Of Texas" This coin has it all including a Geocaching.com tracking number and a Mcdoodles & Family icon all for the price of $10.00 plus shipping and handling via US Priority Mail.

+Mcdoodles & Family Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 Deep In The Heart of Texas coins ARE IN!!! We are very excited to announce that our coins are in. They look GREAT! I will be shipping coins out by mid next week as I am on vacation for the Easter holiday and I am out of town. There was a small problem with the coin. The stars are not glowing. We are not quite sure what the issue was. My manufacturer offered to completely replace my order, but I do not want to wait several more weeks for another coin. I understand that this may disappoint some of you, I was disappointed as well. Please e-mail me if this is a problem. We will be accepting internet orders for coins for just a few more days if you are interested, or you can pick them up at Geowoodstock 4 in May. We look forward to spreading joy to a mailbox near you soon! Annie mcdoodles@excite Quote Link to comment

+Mcdoodles & Family Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 UPDATE!!!! The post office freaks out when you show up with 300 packages for them to mail out. They asked us to mail a few at a time so as not to overwhelm our small post office. We have been mailing packages all week. People should be receiving them soon. There are still a few waiting to go out but we will be mailing those today and tomorrow. Thanks for your patience. Enjoy your coins. Quote Link to comment

+KandRS Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Government workers do that all the time. I know, I routinely have to wake up the ones I work with. Quote Link to comment
+Mcdoodles & Family Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Update!!! About 80% of all orders have shipped. We still have 40 or so to get out. Several people should have received them this week. A whole bunch of people should get them today and tomorrow, if not Monday. We won't be able to mail the remaining 40 or so until Monday. Thanks again for your patience. We hope you all enjoy your coins. This has been a great learning experience, and a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I got mine yesterday, however, I haven't been able to retrieve the activation code. Aside from that issue its a very cool coin. Quote Link to comment
+Mcdoodles & Family Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Where to acitvate the coins Will that help you Will, or is it the kind of hard to read numbers. Sorry about that, we have learned to do the numbers diffrently if we do more coins in the future. Quote Link to comment

+The Amigos Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 We got ours here in Abilene, TX, and released one into a cache. Didn't activate it, left that to the FTF! They had never seen a Geocoin, and were very intrigued! Maybe they will be hooked on them, too! We placed it in a cache that was rated 4.5, so they earned it by the time they found it!! lol Beautiful coin, love it!! Quote Link to comment
kcart Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Paid for this coin on Feb. 15. Over three months since then and more than a month since McDoodles recieved them. Please tell me mine went out today. ©¿©¬ Quote Link to comment
+Minor Threat Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 We spent $34.05 for coins on Feb 7 and still haven't seen anything. Its a little disconcerting to see that coins were activated a month ago and we're still waiting for ours. I don't want to cause any trouble, I just want to get what I paid for. Quote Link to comment
+Bailey Nippon 4 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I have never received mine. Hopefully I was in the one sent out May 17. I've never recieved any notice of when the coins shipped. 3.5 months...sounds like another coin... Quote Link to comment

+WhirledCache Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I believe this individual was at GW4 and if her email box looks like mine, she is probably still sorting through it. It's June 1st folks, hopefully they dropped off the remaining who knows how many coins at a larger post office on their way home from GW4. I just keep thinking that priority mail that was sent on Tuesday should be here by tomorrow! I really don't understand what the hold up is here - was the original order split? was there a reorder? - perhaps an update? Quote Link to comment
kcart Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I received an email response that my order has shipped. I'll let you know when it's in hand. ©¿©¬ Quote Link to comment
+programmer64 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) I have emailed these people 4 times and keep getting lame a** responses such as it'll be mailed,it's on the way the post office..... I have contacted GC.com, paypal, and the cointraking site regarding this matter and I suggest anyone else who has not recieved thier coins do the same. Mcdoodles posted a coins recieved post on April 15th. It is now June. Perhaps Mcdoodle should've stayed home from GW4 and mailed our dadgum coins! People who can't handle the job shouldn't do the job! Edited June 3, 2006 by programmer64 Quote Link to comment
+programmer64 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Now this A**h*** has blocked emails from the cointracking site where they sold the coins Quote Link to comment
kcart Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Got 'em today. Thanks McDoodles, but you really didn't hafta spend $4.05 on postage just for me. I took 'em out an spun 'em a few times while yelling "Yee-haw!" ©¿©¬ Quote Link to comment
