+mgush107 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I saw something on a side ad while I was logging a cache but can't get back to it or find it. It was about TB's dealing with the book Diary of a wimpy kid. Anyone know where to find more info about this. Much appreciated - cache on .. Quote Link to comment

+mommamanatee Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I haven't got mine yet and I requested one the day after they started the promotion. My son is really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment

+Shonda181 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sadly, I think some of these Wimpy Kid trackables are going to end up in the dead letter box (geocache?) at post offices all around the US. I got mine yesterday and it was addressed to Virginia Beach, IL with an Illinois zip code. The Virginia Beach is correct but its obviously not in IL. On a geocaching facebook page I follow, four other people say theirs had the wrong state and zip code as well. There is no sender return address on the envelope for when it is undeliverable either. Mine was mailed from zip code 46052 which comes up as Lebanon, Indiana. Someone did not do a very good job at mail merge! Quote Link to comment
+J Grouchy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Got mine this past Wednesday, but haven't activated it yet. Quote Link to comment

Wow, got mine yesterday and just looked at the envelope and it's definitely wrong. I'm in RI and the zip code is for CA, at least they got the state right, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it. No return address on the envelope and just the tag inside. Yup, a lot of these are going to get Lost in Transit! Quote Link to comment
Silverdragons Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 We haven't seen ours yet either. Ours came today (7/25/14)! We haven't activated it yet. Quote Link to comment

+Ligum Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Got my bubble mailer today . Unfortunately it was empty . What a drag, I was looking forward to this. Probably no chance of a replacement. Don't even know who to contact. Edited July 29, 2014 by Ligum Quote Link to comment

Andronicus Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 So what is the deal with these. The information page showes you where these are, but on such a huge scale that you can't even begin to localize their location. Is GS intentionaly making it hard to find these (as part of the finding luggage story line), or is it just a poorly implemented webpage? Quote Link to comment

I tried navigating to the different pages at the bottom of the page, and it just kept kicking me to the newest page. Also, My envelope had MI (Michigan) instead of MS (Mississippi) and some odd zipcode that was marked out so I couldn't read most of it. There was a big red stamp that said something like "No such office in state", so hooray for the USPS for figuring that one out. Quote Link to comment
+spotter/g Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Got mine yesterday. Mailed from same post office as the others, 46052. My address was correct as was the city. State should have been Ohio but was Maryland. Zip code was wrong also, 21014, which is in Maryland. I hope someone from the Frog is seeing this, so that the problem can be fixed for next time. I'll ask the postman how it got to the right place. Just glad I got one! Quote Link to comment
+fuzziebear3 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I was looking forward to getting one of these. I check the mail every day hopeful. But no luck. I suppose mine went to the lost mail. Quote Link to comment

+TripCyclone Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I still have not received mine and I submitted for it on July 1st. Guess mine was lost to this mailing problem others experienced. Quote Link to comment
+Astro_D Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I ordered one for my son to release. He just got it in yesterday's mail. Looking at the addressed to section, our city, state and zip code were blacked out with marker. Quote Link to comment
+gutterpunkz Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I just received mine also and had the same black marker marking out my address. At first I didnt know what it was lol was very confused Quote Link to comment
+Theseus Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Just received mine a couple days ago and oddly it came in a hand-lettered envelope from the Wimpy Kid publisher in NY City. Quote Link to comment
+MtnMutt-ProDuckShins Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I released mine at the Block Party and have not heard another since it was retrieved from the GS Trunk. Quote Link to comment
+Ligum Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 My replacement for my empty mailer arrived today. Also in hand lettered envelope from books publisher. Got Rodrick's Socks. Quote Link to comment
+steben6 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I wondered about these. I got one in the mail, envelope addressed to the wrong state and zipcode, but it made it to my house. The funny thing is that I never ordered one in the first place. hmmmmm.... Quote Link to comment
+glocknroller Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 My girlfriend and I submitted the request the same day back in July. About a month or so later she got one. I never did. :-( Quote Link to comment
