The Botcon Website has been updated to give users further clarification regarding yesterday's announcement regarding the stock of Iacon Packages:
Just to clarify: ATTENDING PACKAGES are still available. ONLY non-attending and loose sets are sold out at this time. But don't wait, they are going fast. Thanks!
Registrations have continued to pour in! We have reached the cutoff numbers for loose sets and non-attending Iacon sets. There will not be any more loose sets available. However, if you are still interested in a non-attending set, you can fax in your form and put Iacon Wait List on the top. If we are able to allocate any more sets to non-attending, we will go through this list first. We still have several hundred Primus (attending) sets available.
Here are the current rules:
1. The cutoff for the Iacon packages and loose sets was reached March 2, at 5 PM Central Time. We have made allowances for forms that could be in the mail prior to that date and time.
2. In order to have enough for every person who wants to attend BotCon, we are now limiting all registrations after March 2, 2009 to one per person. The person whose name the package is registered for MUST pick it up in person with an ID at BotCon.
3. Any Primus Packages that are ordered after March 2, 2009 that are cancelled or are not picked-up at the show, will receive a $25 cancellation charge. The remainder of their funds will be refunded and the set will be sold to the next person on the waiting list.
4. If your order was in our offices or postmarked before the cutoff of March 2, you will receive what was ordered.
5. It will take the next 10 days to process all credit cards. By checking your bank, you can confirm that your package has been processed. Later this month we will start sending out hard copy confirmations.
6. Unfortunately, we cannot take phone calls or emails about your forms and when you will be processed as this is swamping our office and is slowing down the process. We sent emails to everyone who sent in a form however, email is not 100% due to spam blockers, typos, illegible handwriting. You are welcome to resend your form, and write may be duplicate on the top if you have not received your email confirmation, please include your original fax confirmation from your first send so that we have verification that this is a duplicate.
Thanks for your patience and support while we get everything processed!
