Right Stuf, Inc. kicked off its 25th anniversary celebration today at Anime Expo 2012 and RightStuf.com with a 25th Anniversary Contest announcement. Starting today (June 28, 2012) and while supplies last, Right Stuf is giving out special 25th Anniversary Contest postcards offering up free anime and manga...in the form of gift certificates and coupons to RightStuf.com! Postcards will be distributed both to fans attending Anime Expo via their attendee bags and in customer orders shipping from RightStuf.com. Postcards can also be requested by following the instructions at rs25july.rightstuf.com.

Scan the QR code on the postcard, or visit rs25july.rightstuf.com and enter the card’s code to see what you’ve won. Prizes include gift certificates (up to $250) and coupons to RightStuf.com.

For more details, along with the full rules and conditions, visit rs25july.rightstuf.com.

Follow Right Stuf and Nozomi on Twitter and Facebook for breaking news throughout the convention weekend.

A question: does this apply only to orders placed June 28 or later or also to orders placed before June 28 that get shipped after that date?

(if the latter: that would make my existing order qualify & aww, Panty and Stocking's early availability made another order ship just before that start date...)

Another question: can or can't won coupons be combined with Got Anime coupons on the same order?



off-topic: quoting your post used html tags for formatting, but the formatting buttons for my own text uses BB tags, so something quirky is going on with the forum...

Orders that have "shipped" out on or after 6/28. That's how Right Stuf has done things in the past anyway.

Hi, SD Maruko-kun!

While supplies last, orders shipping out from our warehouse on June 28 and after (regardless of when they were placed) will include a contest postcard. I hope this helps!

Also, the 25th anniversary instant coupons can't be combined with other coupons on the same order.

I had a question about the postcards distributed at AX; were they included in all attendee bags or just a select few?

I wasn't able to attend this year and so I thought I'd ask for unused postcards since I know a lot of my friends that went don't buy anime online, but so far of the ones I've asked (3 people) they didn't get a postcard.

Just curious!

Hmm, odd: the order shipped 2012-06-25 as expected didn't include a contest postcard (it did include the usual "shipping feedback" leaflet [1] and also contained a small stack of Rightstuf sticky notes), however the order shipped 2012-07-02 didn't either! (4 days is a rather short "while supplies last"...), nor did it even include the usual "shipping feedback" leaflet...

(I was keeping my fingers crossed for a nice coupon with a higher value/less restrictions than the usual GA coupons. Ever since Rightstuf started listing actual values instead of "$5 per item" on the packages, a higher and higher percentage of my packages incur a customs handling charge + VAT, so I kind of need to stack things like pre-order/manufacturer special/other discount + GA discount + coupon to keep Rightstuf reasonably cheaper than buying from a shop within the EU (no customs stuff) or buying single/seperate items from Amazon (low enough value to significantly lower the chance of the customs stuff) )


[1] your shipping feedback form on the website could use some backend/javascript code to check the length of the order number etc.: I typed the number from the package's label and successfully submitted the form, but then noticed that based on the packing list one digit fell off the right side of that label. (also: pulldowns would work better than a free-form string date field; too many different date formats in the world... I used yyyy-mm-dd to be the most clear.)

I received two cards so far. One of those was just a week ago. Either the packer forgot to put one of those cards into your package or the contest is void in your area.

Hi, there! Send an email to me at pr@rightstuf.com, and we'll take care of you. Sorry for the inconvenience!!
