MattTheMinion 0 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yes, it is $15. I believe it's the same price as it was last year. The price is computed based on what it costs us on average to have a package of 1-8 badges put together and shipped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Revan 38 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I've been getting badges mailed since it became an option (2013? - the year after the computer snafu on Thursday down in Baltimore), and shipping has always been charged. I figure it's not that big a cost to eat to avoid standing in line for my badge. Now if there were an option to get an 18+ band that way... but I know you have to have proof to get one. (Though it is amusing that I have to show ID that I'm over 18 - I have badges that qualify for that band.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattTheMinion 0 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yeah, it's never been free. I don't think there is a way to realistically make it free. Even if we could coordinate all the labor as volunteer work we'd still have to pay for shipping, tracking, and packaging materials and honestly that's where most of the cost lies.
