Free "Powered By Ubuntu" Stickers for All

[crichell]

Show your Ubuntu spirit with Free "powered by Ubuntu stickers"

You can get them here (http://www.system76.com/index.php/cPath/53_64).

[jordilin]

Let's see if I understand it. As the web page says, I have to send a self adressed empty envelope, and you then send it back to me with free stickers in it regardless of the country I live in?

[crichell]

That's right - if you're out of the country make sure to put the right amount of postage to get it back to you.

[Jedeye]

Thats awesome!

[melissawm]

That's right - if you're out of the country make sure to put the right amount of postage to get it back to you.

But for example if I live in Europe, how can I send the envelope with _american_ stamps? AFAIK it makes no difference if I load the envelope with british or swedish stamps, they won't be accepted by USPS.

[JoshHendo]

Would it be possible to PayPal the cost of posting/packaging if you don't live in the US?

Also, seems like this story got listed on Digg ;)

[crichell]

We'll add directions for international folks soon.

[kostkon]

We'll add directions for international folks soon.

Thanks, that would be helpful for all the people outside the US.

[Inetpub]

excellent!

looking forward to the international instructions :)

[stoian]

me too (Canada here :))

[sonyVaio]

Can we use a International Reply Coupon http://www.upu.int/irc/en/2006_version.html

or seen on the Canada Post site http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/d11-e.asp

[PRGUY85]

I live in Puerto Rico. How many stamps should I put on it and when you mean self-address you mean to just add my own address on the upper left portion of the envelope or something else?

[cIprO]

I think what he meant is you fill out 2 envelopes with your address and their address both with stamps. You put one inside the other and mail it away .. wait a few days/weeks and you get some free stickers =)

[crichell]

cIprO has got it right.

For those of you outside of the US - we're working on setting up locations to send your envelopes in your own country. It will take about a week or two. I'll post here and on our site as we add countries.

Superb - looking forward to it! My laptop needs deocrating :-)

[PRGUY85]

I believe I can send you the envelope without a problem from Puerto Rico since its part of US. Lets hope I can get those stickers!

[sharperguy]

I already have an ubuntu sticker on my computer that came with the dapper cd's, but these ones look more approriate.

[tck]

Don't forget to include Ireland in that list :D

[srunni]

Looks awesome. I can finally cover up the "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP" decals (they don't peel off :()

[i_know_tim]

And Australia. I have a bunch of debian and ubuntu machines that definatly need some advertising material on them.

Hi!
This is a really great idea :D

Don't forget my country (Portugal), please ;)

Question: How many stickers are sent inside each envelope?

Thanks

[crichell]

Question: How many stickers are sent inside each envelope?

We send four in the envelope. I'll add Portugal to my list.

[ptshello]

We send four in the envelope. I'll add Portugal to my list.
Thanks ;)

One location should work the the whole EU i think, exept maybe UK because we're not full memebrs....

[melissawm]

Hey, if you want help in the EU or Belgium I'm here, I can help... We can set up a paypal or something so that you can send me the stickers and I'll forward them I don't know (maybe you don't want to give them to a stranger, I understand, but if you want I can help)!

[disciple]

where's the 'powered by Kubuntu ?' :p


fantastic idea though.. seeing that the first thing i do when i get a notebook is peel off the 'Designed for Windows XP' sticker

[Metro]

Great idea :)

[adam.tropics]

The international stickers thing makes me think perhaps System76 should consider Inernational supported franchises!

[sharperguy]

I thought we were ....

we mostly are, but we havnt joined the euro etc (still using sterling)

[sroutier]

I love this idea !! Got myself a nice HP nx9600. All I need is something to hide the Windows logo on it !
Please add Canada to your list.
Also if you are looking for volunteers in each country to coordinate this campaign, let me know.

Thanks.
/Sebast.

[beercz]

I know we still use stirling rather than euros - but does this not make us full members of the EU?

We have MEPs representing the UK in the European Parliament. I seem to remember joining in 1974 - we had a refurendum on it.

[crichell]

Just wanted to say thanks for all the envelopes and cool notes you guys have sent. We have a "Where's Your Powered by Ubuntu" sticker contest coming soon. I'll post details here.

[bobbybobington]

I see the web page has a very different layout, is a redesign of the website on its way?

[sabredog]

Any new news regarding Australian users?

[crichell]

Ubuntu users in Australia, Brazil, and The Netherlands can now receive 'Powered by Ubuntu' stickers

http://system76.com/index.php/cPath/53_64

[sabredog]

Beauty!!

Many thanks. I will sent the envelope off tomorrow!

[melissawm]

Great work, man! I hope I can get one here in Belgium soon...

By the way, do you guys know a safe way to remove the "Designed for Windows XP" from the laptop? I've tried it, but it's really sticky and doesn't want to come off, and I don't want to damage my laptop :P

[liamhome]

uk needs stickers...we don't do euro's here :)

[crichell]

We're working on adding the UK and Belgium - stay tuned.

Not sure - System76 lappies don't have those nasty stickers :)

[ptshello]

Hi!
Do you have news about Portugal?

I'm not sure that Portuguese stamps are valid to send form another Country :(
I've just sent an e-mail to our "national mail corporation" (I really don't know how to say this in english, lol) - CTT (http://www.ctt.pt) - asking if European Union stamps exist and how much do they cost.

Hope they answer my e-mail... :roll:

Thanks

[BHSPitMonkey]

So, am I to understand that these stickers aren't like the ones here?:

http://linux-schlepptops.de/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=28

The ones in this thread look plain white, as opposed to the metallic look of those ones.

Thanks,
Steve-O

P.S., Cool service you're providing for the community, kudos :)

[ptshello]

I've just sent an e-mail to our "national mail corporation" (I really don't know how to say this in english, lol) - CTT (http://www.ctt.pt) - asking if European Union stamps exist and how much do they cost.Hi everyone,
CTT answered me that "the stamps of each country can only be used 'inside' of them country or from 'inside' to a foreigner country".
They said that (at least in my Country - Portugal) exist some "Answer Coupons" that can be sent with the envelope and exchanged for stamps after, in the foreigner country. But this isn't a solution, because it's impossible to the sender (of the stickers) to exchange every "Answer Coupon" received... I think...

[crichell]

Just added Canada - Many thanks to the Canadian Ubuntu community for helping out.

http://system76.com/index.php/cPath/53_64

[John.Michael.Kane]

Has anyone actually received these "free stickers"?

[sabitha]

so when for indonesia.......... :-(

yeah, that's actually what i was thinking :/
how can you send back the stickers using foreign postage? (I'm from Italy) :confused:

[jperez]

So, I live in Fort Collins, CO. I already sent the two letters to get the free stickers. How long will it take before I get them? I sent them on Aug 25. Thanks!

Jesse~

[SoloSalsa]

Are yours the real metalic shiny sticker kind?
'Cuz anyone can print their own, from one of the Ubuntu Wiki pages, but I want one to look official!

[crichell]

So, I live in Fort Collins, CO. I already sent the two letters to get the free stickers. How long will it take before I get them?

We ran through our first 2000 in a week - no worries - 20,000 more are rolling off the press. Expected Friday 9/8.

[jperez]

Carl, nice! I can't wait to show off my Ubuntu pride. :D

[kilis]

i want 2 stickers plzz

[kilis]

sorry for dubullt post sorry for bad English i live in latvia dobele

[SoloSalsa]

You never answered me!
Really, what quality are they? Are they shiny metalic good stickers, or did you just print them on plain sticker sheets? Thanks!

[jperez]

Are they shiny metalic good stickers, or did you just print them on plain sticker sheets?

By the looks of the pictures, it seems that they are non-metallic. I don't care though. I have no money for printing supplies, thus any kind of free stickers will be awesome.

I hope they do come out with metallic stickers though.

Jesse~

[John.Michael.Kane]

I'm still wondering if anyone has actually received these "free" stickers.

[djsroknrol]

I sent my request out in the middle of August and as of yet, haven't recieved mine....:(

[jpmorelli]

Muchas gracias !!! from Argentina !!! I was waiting for the international support and now it is possible. Thanks.

[xaverx]

for all who cant get free stickers can print from ubuntu wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PoweredBy)

[jperez]

I don't know about everyone else, but I still haven't gotten mine. I'm not too happy. I'll probably just buy Laminated Foil printing papaer for LaserJets and print them at work for free.

Jesse~

[CGW]

I've not rec'd mine yet either--but I'm not going to complain--they are, afterall, FREE! :)

[djsroknrol]

Well guys...I finally got mine in the mail today...and they're sweet...thank you system76 and don't forget to enter the contest 'yall....:)

[crichell]

Thank you!

I will order some soon!

[betty]

Any word on when they will be available in the US? I sent in my letter to System76 around Aug 20...

thanks!
betty

[crichell]

hi betty - you will see them any day now.

[Jenda]

Hmm... for those interested in slightly better quality, community produced Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu stickers, please do check this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1541517

They aren't totally free, however.
The prices range from $3 for 10 pcs to $15 for 100 pcs, shipping included. I ship worldwide, no difference to me. I have shipped 751 stickers to date, and it seems all but 10 have arrived OK.

[jperez]

I got mine a few days ago. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Either way, I JUST replaced the "Designed for Microsoft Windows 98" on my Gateway 43c with the "Powered by Ubuntu linux" sticker provided by System76. Now...my system is complete. :)

Jesse~

[CGW]

I rec'd mine yesterday. Thanks!!

[beercz]

Got mine today :-)

Already putting it to good use (http://system76.com/contest/index.php?option=com_hotornot2&task=display&idx=24&Itemid=31)!

Thanks System76 and The Linux Emporium:-)

[RedGhost]

Hey is this still available? The Canadian office seems to be only a few hours away from me so if it is I will send mine off today!

[crichell]

Hey is this still available?

Absolutely - They're getting lots of request up there so send in your self addressed stamped envelope.

[AndrewB]

Thank you, received my stickers today :)

[GregB]

Received my stickers about 2 weeks after I sent off the envelope...thanks System76!!!

[Frazer]

this looks well cool :) gonna send off for them tommorow, cant wait.

[John.Michael.Kane]

Thank you, received my stickers a few weeks ago..

[Kateikyoushi]

Does anyone know where could I get a "Ubuntu linux for human beigns" sticker ?

Like this one (http://system76.com/contest/index.php?option=com_hotornot2&Itemid=31&cat=0&startrow=7).

[Kateikyoushi]

Okay, thanks for the quick answer. :)

[sa87]

Thanks for the stickers!

Big kudos to the Aussie guys handling the local distribution!

[jinx099]

How many stickers do you get for free?

[crichell]

A strip of four.

[beercz]

Does anyone know how to get such stickers made. I am involved in a business venture that has nothing to do with Ubuntu/Linux/computers, but I need to get some metal stickers, similar to the 'Powered by Ubuntu' ones.

Can anyone tell me who makes them, so I can contact them direct.

I have emailed System76 but have not received a reply as yet.

Thanks in advance.

[Jenda]

jinx099, if you'd like to get a larger number of stickers, I'll be happy to send you some for production cost and shipping (say $3 for 10).

[ThrobbingBrain66]

A strip of four.

I sent my SASE in about two weeks ago and haven't gotten anything back yet. Is there another sticker shortage?

[crichell]

We sent out a large batch on Thursday. You should see them any day now.

[e30power]

Thanks a million! I just got mine in the mail. They look great.

[ThrobbingBrain66]

We sent out a large batch on Thursday. You should see them any day now.

Just got mine in the mail as well. Thank you so much.

[learning]

Got mine Monday. Looks great on my laptop! Thank you!

[krypto_wizard]

System76,

I sent my SASE today. I am requesting for 5.

2 for my laptops
1 for my GF's laptop
1 for Home Desktop and
1 for Work Desktop

Is it ok, if I sent just 1 self addressed paid envelope or should I end 5 ?

Thanks

[Lexam]

Looks awesome. I can finally cover up the "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP" decals (they don't peel off :()

They come off, I took the one on my notebook off. Takes a little determination and some alcohol to finish the job, but they will come off. Now I have a nice clean space to put my Ubuntu Sticker. :D Of course I went crazy and removed the AMD and ATI Stickers as well...

[savohead]

it's not so strange that at page 10 i'm the first italian asking for Italy to be added in the list (even if i'm close to switzerland, i could go and post my request there).
Anyway, if this could help, i could post them to italian people, tell me if this could be of any help.
THANKSSSSSS this is a great idea, 'cause my BenQ needs ubuntu also outside!!!

[eldipablo]

Um...I sent away for my sticker almost a month ago, and still don't have them. What gives? :-?

[Circus-Killer]

please can you add south africa to the list. if you need a hand from the south african loco team, you can always post a thread at http://za.ubuntuforums.org (http://sauerbraten.org/) and i'm sure we can make a plan.

[Frazer]

I just sent of for them in the UK now :) cant wait to flash the stickers to all at uni.

[AusIV4]

Sweet. When I can come up with an envelope that fits inside the envelopes I have (or an envelope I can fit my current envelopes into), I'll send in for some. I have the sticker that came with the Dapper CDs prominentantly displayed on the back of my laptop, and I've been wondering what to do about that "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP" decal that won't come off.

I'm also pleased to hear about System76. While I've no immediate need to buy a new computer, I was a bit concerned about what I'd do when I need to upgrade my laptop. All the major vendors want to sell you Windows, and I'd rather not give Microsoft my money when I'm not going to use their operating system. And the System76 prices are competitively priced. I'll definitely keep it in mind when it's time to upgrade.

[max.diems]

Buy the WinXP computer and get a refund if you can't find what you want from System76.

[koolguynet]

Max.diems, how successful have people been with getting the refund?

[bobbybobington]

AFAK system76 has a discount code for people on the forums

[mcglnx]

Excellent I got mine! Wooo!
Thanks!

[Zelut]

I ordered some stickers long ago. They arrived promptly & look great.

My question is now: Is it possible to order a larger quanity to distribute for my Ubuntu LoCo Team? If the System76 crew could PM or email me I appreciate it.

I've been wondering what to do about that "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP" decal that won't come off.


Find a friend with fingernails, they come in handy for removing those ;)

There's now a very clean patch on my laptop eagerly awaiting a new sticker :D

Hmmm. Turns out they do come off. It left a lot of glue behind, but now I too have a nice clean patch awaiting a sticker.

Speaking of my stickers, I sent off roughly 5 weeks ago and haven't seen my stickers yet. I'm not trying to complain, as it's a free service and I appreciate getting the stickers, I'm just wondering whether this is a delay due to backup on the System 76 end, or if my envelope/stickers got lost in the mail and I should send another envelope.

[crichell]

Probably a backup on our end - We have a large batch going out today so you'll be able to replace that old sticker soon :)

Are you still giving out the stickers? I sent out for them a while ago also.

[crichell]

Are you still giving out the stickers?

Yes - sorry about the delay guys. A few thousand went out today. BTW - we've extended the Free 'Powered by Ubuntu' sticker program to more countries. Now including:

United States
Argentina
Australia

[AusIV4]

Mine came in the mail today! Or so says my mom - I'm away at school and won't be home to get them for a couple of weeks. But it's good to know they're waiting for me.

I might note that it was because of these stickers that I found out about System76, and there's a chance I wouldn't be getting a Gazelle right now without them. I don't know what it's costing System76 to send them out, but I'm guessing it turns out to be pretty good advertising.

[pacificdrums]

Sweet I got my stickers! Thanks a bunch System76!!!
:guitar:

[haiku99]

got mine today too.....thanks

[lamalex]

for once I'm glad I still live in the United States. One small victory, I'm still moving to Iceland though; but after system76 ships me my stickers haha

[HarrisonHopkins]

I sent mine out about a month and a half ago? Could I be expecting them before the end of the month? I'm moving.

[ardvark71]

Yay!

Finally got mine in the mail a couple days ago, Thanks!:KS

How about APO addresses?? I'm dying for some "Powered by Ubuntu" stickers here in Iraq!!

I'm sure that will work. Send us a self addressed stamped envelope and we'll get them out to you.

[lonjim2]

Not a complaint by any means...just kinda curious.

I sent my stamped envelope back in January and was just wondering when they might arrive (I'm in Canada)...I'm really not too rushed myself...just I addressed them to my mailbox here at my dorm and am somewhat worried about not getting them ever as I go home in a month and a half for summer and will not be living in residence next year.

[crichell]

I'll check on this for you. We have a few International envelopes that are due to go out. You may want to send it to your local Canadian distributor though. The address for Canada is on our site:

What a goof I am...I just realized what I did. I have sent it to the Canada mailing address but didn't realize it was managed by the Ubuntu Canada Team.

Thanks for reading though...sorry for any wasted time. I guess I should get in contact with them somehow.

[nvikram]

I live in the US, but I am just wandering, About how long on average does it take to arrive.

[grim4593]

My stickers just came in today. I live in the US. I don't remember exactly when I sent the package, but it could not have been more than a few weeks ago. Thanks for the stickers!

[crichell]

You should receive your stickers within two weeks.

[nvikram]

thanks...I hope my stickers come in soon!!! I can't wait

[victorbrca]

Can't wait too... Sent mine to Canada 2 weeks ago... And forgot to send a donation... :(


Thanks for the project thou!!!

Not another complaint, but I live in California, and I sent my stickers in about 3 weeks ago, I am just wandering If I am not being patient enough.

I sent for my stickers 2 monthes ago and have yet to recieve them? What is the holdup? (I live in Ontario Canada)

[victorbrca]

Is there any way I could check the status on mine as well? Just wondering if I may have done something wrong...

Live in Toronto, ON. Sent mine over 3 weeks ago. Thanks!!!

Hi Guys, The Ubuntu Canada LoCo team is distributing stickers for Canada. (They could be behind, I know it sometimes takes us a few weeks.) You can find more info about your LoCo here:

I have a couple of questions....

1- Can I send a request for the free sticker from Canada (ON) to US?
2- How long would it take?


PS: I do know that there's a canadian address, but they are really behind, and I don't want to complaint. After all, it's free.... :)

I mailed my envelope today! ok, well actually it probably won't go out till tomorrow.

Thanks.

Has anyone gotten their sticker from the Canadian address? I send my stamped, self addressed envelope back in April, and no sign of a sticker.

Thanks.

Yes, you can still get them. I have received many envelopes but due
various issues (read: too busy), I have only gotten to them recently.

Ok, fair enough, he's busy, but that was posted over a month ago and still no sticker.

I'm still wondering if *anyone* from Canada has gotten their stickers? I've seen lots of Canadians asking where their sticker is, but I don't anyone saying they finally got theirs.

I don't want to come across as a complainer, I know these are free and that it's volunteer time to send them out, but it is frustrating. If Cory can't keep up with it, then maybe he should find someone else to take it on, or something like that.

[bobbybobington]

Just got them today, so I'm super stoked! about 4 weeks after mailing the envelope in, but hey I cant complain since they're free, and 4 weeks is normal for people sending for stickers. Now my ubuntu preinstalled dell lappy feels more complete :D:D:D:D:D thanks system76!!!!!

[crichell]

I'm glad to here there's a little System76 love on that Dell lappie.

[Warpnow]

You know...if we didn't close envelopes well...they could get it, slip in the stickers, then void the stamp and drop it in...wouldn't it be returned to sender...as in...us?

[brownknight]

Got my 4 free stickers from System 76 two days ago. Thank you guys! Now my laptop really feels like home with my Dell 1505N laptop preinstalled with Ubuntu and now with the sticker of Ubuntu and no MS sticker. Thanks alot to everyone.

[jpneron]

And it's been nearly 3 months since I send mine to the Canadian address, and still no sign of a sticker. I repeat: Has *anyone* from Canada gotten a sticker?

[victorbrca]

I've sent mine over 3 months and still nothing....

NOTICE:

Canadian Ubuntu users who have not been able to obtain "Powered By Ubuntu" stickers via their Loco group may send self-addressed stamped envelopes directly to System 76. This is a temporary arrangement and will be discontinued at some point in the near future.

That sounds great, but I don't think I can buy a US stamp up here. I can put Canadian stamps on it, but will USPS deliver mail without a US stamp on it?

Contact me privately, maybe we can arrange an alternate Canadian address for these.

Thanks.

Jean

[tedrampart]

I don't think you'll have to worry about that so much. and I think you can buy US postage here in canada, you might just have to get it as a pre-paid envelope.

best bet would be to contact the closest canada post outlet. I'll also ask my pops, as he's a retired posty..

[jpneron]

Ok, I'll check with the Post Office tomorrow (Monday) & see what they say.

Thanks.

Jean

[jpneron]

Nope, no joy. You cannot buy US stamps in Canada, according to my local post office.

You can buy some kind of coupon, which the recipient would have to take to the local US Post office & exchange for a US stamp, but I don't think anyone wants to do that.

So, we're back where we started.

Jean

[thomasaaron]

OK, guys.

Canadians can just send their requests and envelopes.
We'll take care of the postage back for the time being.

Best,
Tom

I just sent mine from Canada today.... Would a small donation be welcomed??


Vic.

[notwen]

Hope the stickers are still rolling off the press, just sent out my SASE today. I have a couple of machines that these stickers would do justice.

[notwen]

Is there anyway to confirm whether or not my SASE was received or sent back out? Mailed it out around a month back. Just eager to get my stickers. =x

[thomasaaron]

We have a young lady that comes in every few weeks to stuff the stickers into envelopes and mail them. There was such a huge pile of requests a few days ago (when she was last here) that she ran out of stickers about 3/4 of the way through!

We have more stickers on order. So, if you don't get yours in a day or so, it is probably awaiting the next batch of stickers and the next appearance of our dedicated young lady.

Best,
Tom

Sorry, Charlie.

[poetbeware]

I'd like to suggest that you also make little ubuntu logo stickers to place over the windows logo key. Because, seriously, ew.

[thomasaaron]

We're looking into that. We want to make it look really nice, though. Not like a paper sticker on a key.

[qwill]

Hi,
Is the free ubuntu sticker offer still valid for Canada ?

I sent my request in September and didn't heard of since.

Shall I submit another request directly to system76 in the US ?

Thanks !

Qwill

[Joeb454]

I sent an email a few week's back in the UK, and never got any :(

[thomasaaron]

There's nothing from the UK in the pile. So either it was mailed a few days ago when the last batch was processed, or it didn't get here.

Did you send it to Denver?

[atomkarinca]

I'm in Turkey but I'm not sure if the Turkey address is still valid or not. How can I check that?

[asmiller-ke6seh]

Thom,

Yeah! Honestly ... I would pay up to $10.00 (that would include shipping and handling) for a replacement key for my Serval that allows me to throw away that window$ key to be replaced by an Ubuntu key - B&W okay, but color would be outrageous.

and, as poetbeware said..."Because, seriously, ew..."

:lolflag:

[Miroku]

is this still available? saw the link, got all excited but noticed no one posted after december. just wanted to make sure before i start hoping for it to return. thx.

Miroku, I'm in the same boat as you, I also recently say the stickers and would like to acquire them. Please, if anyone can help, please do as we'd like to support the Ubuntu community and show our commitment with these stickers

[Miroku]

well im gonna just send it in and pray. it is still on their website which i do think is actively maintained, so the info there is probably not outdated.

link is here (http://system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=9#us)

all the best vampyre_2099.

[thomasaaron]

Yes, our website is actively maintained. And our address on it is correct. As for all of the loco groups, we change the addresses as they report changes.

[victorbrca]

I know that the Canadian one was temporary redirected to US last year. But heck, the cost is just of a pre-paid envelop. Can't go wrong with that... :)


Vic.

[compholio]

Are these the same stickers that come with the System76 boxen? The cover peeled off of mine and it lost all its color :(

[thomasaaron]

Yes. They are the ones that come on the bottom right corner of the laptops.
It's the one at the top of this page:
http://system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=9

[Papa-san]

It took a year and a half, but mine is now in need of replacement. It's almost completely white now... (But I have another one around here somewhere...)

[vampyre_2099]

See the thing is that I live in South Africa and theres no distributor near me

[achromic]

I would just like to thank the guys at Linux Emprorium here in the UK.

After applying for the free stickers, there was a slight problem, my envelope came back without the stickers, so, i phoned them, they were most apologetic, and sent me the replacements, they arrived within 24 hours!!!!! :)

So, thanks you guys! You rock! :guitar:

[Miroku]

thx for the stickersssss, got them in about 2 wks. thanks!

[gatos]

I have been after some stickers as well. I found these that were available from Jenda see image:
http://diy.devubuntu.com/repo/spreadubuntu/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Stickers/ubuntu.png

which I think look fantastic. I have emailed Jenda to find out if he still sells (10 for $3 incl postage)them and if he does I will let you know. In the meantime, if anyone knows where I can find them please let me know. THat XP crap sticker has to come off asap.[-o<[-o<

I live in Ontario, Canada and sent my SASE to the British Columbia address, 6 months ago but have yet to get my stickers. Are the stickers still being made and shipped?

Thanks!

[BjBlaster]

I also send away for the sticker offer in Australia, but haven't received them after 8 weeks and can't contact them to check if they still offer stickers because there is no contact number only an address.

Is there somewhere online I can buy them using paypal?

Cheers

Bj
