2023 Holiday Challange PIN - did you ever get one?

[InfinityMoose]

Not got mine in the UK....yet.

I still haven't received the pin for the latest holiday challenge, also in UK. Did you receive yours?
I've got quite a few of them already and don't think they have been this late and maybe they shipped them out later this year.

... in UK. Did you receive yours?

Good prompt...no nothing received as of 27/3 - I'll ask and report back.

Ahhh, looks like there has been a problem for UK recipients this year. Just heard back from Ella at C2 UK saying:

I wanted to inform you that our colleagues in the US have notified us that several pins were held up by customs upon entering the UK and were returned to sender.

We have requested additional pins to be sent to us for distribution from Nottingham. I am optimistic that we will be able to have the pins dispatched for delivery next week, but this is contingent on when the US can ship the replacements to us.

So we just need to wait a little longer.....

Great, thanks for the update.

Meanwhile an underpaid and overworked customs official mutters "Those Concept2 blokes are at it again. Tariff evaders. Claiming this is a box of GIFT pins they are giving away for NOTHING, not even shipping and handling. HA HA. Can't have that, ship it all back."

Ha! It seems such is the new world we live in....
