Recommendation....

 

When users create accounts, it's great that you send them a "welcome" email. However, please do ***NOT*** put their password in plaintext emails!

 

Thanks

 

Great recommendation, Redfist!

 

We have made a change to the email confirmation and removed the personal account information. Thanks for the great feedback Redfist!

sure wish you would bring the small sized rock containers back.
jholly,

This container measures 3" x 3.5" and comes complete with watertight Micro capsule and RITR Micro Logo Strip. Available in either grey or brown/earth color.

Those are micro-sized fake-rock containers. You used to sell small-sized fake-rock containers. I'm pretty sure those are what jholly would like to have available again.

 

For the record, I'd like to have them available again too.

I would love it if you offered more merchandise in your Groundspeak office.

I know you don't have a lot of space, but it would be fun to be able to buy more stuff while there.

(I understand if you are wary of doing this because you don't want it to turn into a store).

 

Just went browsing.

 

Great selection of stuff!! You guys did a great job on this!!!

Nope, no kewpie doll for that one.

 

You use to have a fake rock that had a twist off bottom and the inside was large enough to hold coins, small bugs, and a maybe a bit of swag. No dinky little tubes here. As I recall it had a geocaching logo on the top, it was maybe 6" or so by 3" or so. I have not been able to find them anywhere except in the wild.

Bingo! Give that man a kewpie doll!

One problem with those I found out the hard way. They are not really water tight. I have one out in the wild now that I have had to put a bison inside of because the log was soaked.

They did make one even before that fake rock that looked the same but the container had a srew on lid that was pretty much water tight.

This is an email that we received. I'm sharing it here anonymously. :)

I know you've been hearing about each other for a long time, and you may have been wondering if you'd ever meet. I have a feeling this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Hi Sol Seaker,

We're working on it! We've heard your feedback here and in other forum posts, so I'm working at eventually getting the full line of merchandise available by the Block Party. If you know you are coming back for a visit and want to purchase something, we can make sure we have it in stock when you come.

Hope to see you soon again!

From Canada here - would it be possible to pre-order some items and then pick up at the Blockparty event?

 

This is not a normal service but I am sure we can figure something out. Please place your order the week before the Block Party and include special instructions that you will pick it up at the event. See you there.

I haven't seen the large Signal plushie on the site for a while. Do you guys not sell it anymore? :o:(:unsure:

 

The large signal plush is sold out and we do not have any on order at this time. We are only offering the mini plush.

Thanks for the response. Does that mean that they may be ordered some time in the future? My Signal is starting to show some wear and tear, and I know that someday I'll need to get a new one. The big plushies are so much better than the small plushies.

 

Am I going to need to liberate one of the Signals from Groundspeak next time I'm there? ;):ph34r:

Thanks for the response, I will ensure that the order is placed one week before the event. I appreciate the effort to go the extra mile. See you at the event

Now I want one of them. I never saw the appeal in micro fake rocks. That one is awesome!

Found the fake rock a couple times. One was at the base of a tree by a bunch of real rocks in a Nature area. The other was an urban multi. Both were well done and fun to find

It's fun seeing the occasional reviews that people add to the products.

 

I gotta admit being a little surprised that no one has yet reviewed this product. Who wants to be the first? ;)

I'll review the large plushie. :anibad:

 

Once you bring them back. :ph34r::laughing:

 

When I went to the local 10/10/10 event Groundspeak donated some swag, including a large plushie to the event for the auction (which also included lots of things donated by other geocachers). My son got very upset that we didn't win the large plushie especially after it was won by someone that had just won something else.

 

+1 for bringing back the large plushie signal.
