+LutherNation Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I just bought the tree ornament! I love the globe design on it! Quote Link to comment
+Team Pixos Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 It really is not that hard to ship to Canada. It is insulting that Ground Speak won't be bothered with us to do it. Make a partnership with a shipper. Quote Link to comment
Shop Geocaching Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 We appreciate your feedback on this and will take it into consideration. We currently work with a lot of distributors around the world that provide official geocaching gear to various countries. You'll want to check their websites from this link: http://shop.geocaching.com/default/international-retailers/. Quote Link to comment
+SwineFlew Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I was hoping to find a Christmas theme Geocoin or TB to give away as gifts. Quote Link to comment

You'll want to check their websites from this link: http://shop.geocaching.com/default/international-retailers/. i agree with Team Pixos, shipping is not that expensive to Canada there are many items that no store carries them here and there's the mark up to deal with, take the TB for example, i've seen it as much as double the price Groundspeak sells it for plus tax why is European Union listed as a country?

+dameetro Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) We would really love a trackable license plate for the front of our geomobile. Any chance we'll see that in the store one day? Edited December 7, 2011 by dameetro Quote Link to comment
jholly Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 We would really love a trackable license plate for the front of our geomobile. Any chance we'll see that in the store one day? Most states require a front license plate on a car and to not have one is a violation of the vehicle laws. Mississippi one of the few states that does not require a front license plate.

+Manville Possum Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Where I live we have a different Christmas tree ornament every year sold by our County Tourism. This year it is the Upper Falls of Little Stony featured on the ornament, which is also a listed EarthCache and tourist attraction. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=c40275db-a2d1-4434-868d-f88b9be93e23 I'm guessing that has something to do with one of the tourism members being a geocacher. Myself? I'm a geocoin collector, and just have to have that challange coin! Quote Link to comment

I don't see how that should prevent anyone from selling one. It's up to the buyer to adhere to their local laws, Groundspeak isn't in the traffic law enforcement business. Quote Link to comment
+TheLoneGrangers Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks for the thread, I found two perfect gifts for my wife, the awesome T-shirt and ornament! My wife is a huge fan of Survivor and geocaching, perfect! Quote Link to comment
+Coldgears Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Can the christmas ornament function as a geocache? That's what I thought, and I was thinking about buying it. But rereading it, it says nothing about being hidable. Quote Link to comment
+Grasmere Duo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just spent $40, ouch. I am very susceptible to suggestions. Quote Link to comment
Love Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I was hoping to find a Christmas theme Geocoin or TB to give away as gifts. We did have a geocoin available, but it sold out very fast! Quote Link to comment
Love Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 why is European Union listed as a country? We have many European distributors that can ship throughout the European Union. You'll find most of those distributors are listed in that category as well as the country they're located in. This helps for those cachers located in countries that don't have a distributor yet. We would really love a trackable license plate for the front of our geomobile. Any chance we'll see that in the store one day? We think this is a great idea too and have been looking into options. Can the christmas ornament function as a geocache? That's what I thought, and I was thinking about buying it. But rereading it, it says nothing about being hidable. This is a fun idea - maybe we'll be able to do something like this next year. But this year's ornament is meant for a tree as you see here... Quote Link to comment

+Ambient_Skater Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 How about alternately a trackable plate 'cover' ? Covering a license plate with anything that's not completely transparent would be illegal just about everywhere. Quote Link to comment

WashoeZephyr Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I just bought the aqua pack for the phone, has anyone used one of these? We are planning some ocean side caching in a couple of weeks. Thought it might be a good idea. Quote Link to comment

+honeychile Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 For next year -- we need Signal wrapping paper! I see lots of places online where either a roll or a sheet (folded) could be ordered. That would be great for geocaching Christmas gifts. In fact, it would be pretty cool all year long for events and such. Maybe a couple of choices -- one for holiday and another for every day? Or possibly a pack with several sheets for various occasions? Sort of like below: Quote Link to comment

+MissJenn Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 From the Weekly Mailer: Give the Gift of Geocaching Premium What better gift to give the geocacher in your life than more time to go geocaching? Geocaching Premium provides advanced features and functionality that streamline the geocaching adventure so your favorite geocacher (or geocacher-to-be) can spend less time at the computer and more time outside searching for geocaches. Groundspeak Gift Memberships provide the recipient with 12 months of Geocaching Premium access. The gift can be used to upgrade a Basic Member or to extend an existing Premium Membership by a year. And Geocaching Premium Membership is one gift they won't have to wait for, since Groundspeak Gift Memberships are immediately credited to users' accounts. If you want to upgrade someone to Geocaching Premium, but prefer to have something physical for them to unwrap, check out the Premium Membership Gift Card, which can be purchased through Shop Geocaching or through selected International Retailers. With all the time your special geocacher will save with Geocaching Premium, they might just have enough time to give you the gift of Premium Membership. Quote Link to comment

I'm sure other countries and US states have similar schemes. Quote Link to comment

+Sol seaker Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I just renewed my membership. I filled in all my credit card info and wished there was a button to hit so I could add on some supplies at the same time. I would have bought some stuff at that moment. It makes one in the mood having just purchased membership. Perhaps you can add that as an option. A lot of other websites do it. Quote Link to comment
