According to the Official PAX Twitter account all Badges have shipped as of Monday, August 19th, and should arrive By Friday August 23rd. If you have not received your badges yet, do not panic. You can start being worried after Friday.

Bobcats, err, badges are now shipping out. do not panic if you do not have your badges yet. Badges are shipping out in waves. Just because others who may be close to you have gotten them does not mean your badges went out in that wave. Remember this is not the first PAX. You'll get your badges, just be patient. if you do not have your badges the weekend before PAX, that is the point where you may want to start asking questions.

Your badges will arrive. You will attend PAX. That is the order of things.

Here is what you can expect when you can expect to receive from USPS, UPS, or FedEx:

For US domestic, if you chose the default shipping option, that is through USPS, so there is no tracking information. IF you chose UPS you *should* get a tracking number when it ships. It looks like the ticketing system is listing every ticket as shipped now, when not everyone who should have a tracking number does, so who knows what's happening there.

For International, you will get an email with a tracking number when it ships.


Original post below:


I just got a FedEx email telling me my badges have shipped. Not sure if they ship the international badges before the Domestic ones, as I'm in Canada but it looks like they are starting to ship them now.

We really are now on crunch time to PAX Prime 2013. My body is ready.

    I'm pretty sure they do send out international ones earlier, so they have time to actually get to the far corners of the earth.

    Only 1 out of 30 shipped badge packages contain bobcats.

    I was always under the assumption that anyone trying to enter without their bobcat in hand wouldn't be allowed in. I always got weird looks from security until I pulled my bobcat out.

    Don't forget your bobcats.

    Remember, do not buy your bobcats from third parties.

    They might be counterfeit bobcats.

    The Badges actually ship from Connecticut, not Seattle, so shipping them to Vancouver is about as far away as they get on the continent. They do have tens of thousands to ship so I would assume they aren't doing them all in one day.

    My tracking updated saying they'll be at my door next Wednesday, so a week to get them to me. That can be used as a rough guide to say that they'll probably have to ship all international badges at least by this time next week just to be safe and make sure they arrive before people start making their way to Seattle.

    They definitely do not do them all at once. They go out in waves, and there is no discernible rhyme or reason for when yours will be shipped out (not dependent on location, time of purchase, number of purchase, etc).

    This is great news.
    Due to yadda yadda yadda...
    I had to get my pass via eBay and I won't be home the week before PAX because of GP Oakland.

    This news alleviates the heart ache of wondering if I need someone to over night my mail to Seattle.

    There's still the heart ache of trusting a 100% 10k+ feedback eBay scalper.

    Well, there's no guarantee until your badge is in hand.

    I don't think I should have gotten so many bobcats. I'm scared now.

    True. That's why my heartache is only alleviated, not eliminated.

    Worst case, I show up to PAX and put the lessons I learned at Phish shows to work.

    Fed Ex says my bobcats should be here tomorrow. Any advice on what I should feed them?

    It does annoy me how one has to get their bobcats out every time you enter the freaking expo hall. Mine always tries to chew my face off! Who the hell thought bringing bobcats into PAX was a good idea?

    I don't remember if the passes will be going to my apartment or my parents' house. I should forewarn them to handle the bobcats with care.

    Even plush bobcats can be quite ferocious if they are not fed. Be sure to bring along some plush rabbits to feed it.

    I totally already have two plushie bobcats for precisely that purpose. Got them for East 2012, the first year of the bobcat badges.

    Also, I paid for the UPS shipping within the US, and I just got an email that my package is on its way. So I guess non international badges are starting to ship.

    I also got my email for US shipping with UPS.

    I don't know about emails but I saw that showclix updated mine to shipped status. But it says tracking is unavailable? Did anyone else see that?
