    okay so on a whim i bought the www.hackerstickers.com penguin beanie sticker because it's pretty tight. Anyways, i bought it 3 weeks ago, they charged my card 3.70 3 weeks ago. I dont have my sticker. To make matters worse, i havn't been able to find more than a "send us your comments" box to contact them with. No order confirmation email, no contact email, no sticker! any advice other than spamming their comments box? i've already sent 2 very polite "where are my stickers" messages, and still no response. BAH

    haha... good luck with your sticker. If you don't get it, you could print out a custom sticker here- http://www.quickstickers.com/customize.php (which I think would be quite expensive)...
    or find some vinyl adhesive printer paper, and cut it out.

    If worst comes to worst, It was under $5, so be happy it wasn't anything more.

    yeah, it's not usually a very lucrative scam for 3.70. Unless they did it to millions of people. Hmm...there's an idea.
