Look At What Came In The Mail 3 - Deja Vu All Over Again...

I swung by the post office yesterday on my lunch break to drop my Netflix in the mail and check the PO Box for any sign of stickers from GetGlue. Lo and behold, there was an envelope! I stuffed it in my coat pocket and headed back to work with some happy thoughts of what might be inside.


Once back to the office I cut the envelope open, dumped the contents out on my desk, and started sorting. Here's what I received:



Look familiar?  Yeah, it looked familiar to me, too. Have a look at last month's sticker shipment:



So the grand total of new stickers in this month's shipment is ONE - Revision3. All the rest were the same ones I received back in December. Paint me a little disillusioned. Also a bit off-putting is the re-inclusion of the three glue-heart stickers. Can you say "filler"? Oh well, there's always next month. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll have TWO new stickers in it...

    Lots of repeats for me with my last shipment too. The only ones that weren't from getglue accomplishments (like fan, lone wolf, etc) were 2 dexter stickers i'd gotten already in previous shipments. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to seeing more of those third-party ones in real life!

    Same with me Shira - I just sent in a request again the end of this past week to see if I get anything at all...

    The whole sticker thing is a big disappointment. You don't get the full 20 stickers they promise and what they do send is what you already have. I'm going to start making my own stickers and printing them off. I modified their template and will use that to make the stickers I want.

    I got duplicates too. I contacted @GetGlue on Twitter and they said there was a problem with the last set of shipments.

    I feel bad for you if you had to check in with "Internet Explorer" to get that sticker :)

    Well, at least I have some advanced notice of what could come in my next shipment ;)

    So what are you going to do with your stickers?

    At least yours came. I requested some almost two months ago now and nada. And I don't see the point in requesting again, as they often suggest when you don't get a shipment. Why continue to participate in a broken system?

    @Matthew - Heh, the sad thing is that my Addon Adhesive sticker was earned with Firefox. Something tells me that they only made one type of sticker for that one and everyone got an IE sticker regardless.

    The whole 'you get your real stickers!' and you get ten is really lame.

    I've requested a couple of times now and I've gotten bubkes. Never mind that I'm on the other side of the planet and it takes time, but still.

    Maybe we should start a trading community? I know there are some non-achievement stickers that I have indeed earned and would love to trade for.

    I've been ready to request my stickers for a while but have been waiting a bit for some really worthwhile stickers. Since it was such an agrivating experience to get the Being Human sticker I decided to request as soon I got it. Then I couldn't find the option to request certain stickers >:( Unless I wasn't looking hard enough they got rid of it. Grrr...

    Hey @Heather, how are you making your own? Thinking about doing the same but I can't figure out how to get a pic of the stickers w/o the corners folded up.

    Saturday the 22nd I received my second grouping of stickers in the mail. Only 3 different stickers than my first grouping. Then yesterday 24th, I received a third shipment that had all different stickers. Including Ghosthunter and Walking Dead stickers. No repeats.
