Hey MariaOcean when was this message sent to you?
Looks like there are now 3 possibles that we know of and 9 solid winners.

It was sent to me on 13rd September

kat · « **Reply #251 on:** September 22, 2011, 04:21:44 PM »

Ok well that fits with the rest of us. It seems they were all sent out around the same time.
So 9 winners:
RWM, Fancy, Lina, Leleka, Jett, Wesley, Crewella, Eric and Latrine.
And 3 possibles
IMR, MariaOcean and Kat.

I do hope they announce the winning entries soon.

What is going on?

I got an email 10 days ago saying:

Hi Lina Åhman,

Please verify address, name, email address, phone number.
Once you have the information we will send out your Pleorb.

Regards,
Innvo Labs Customer Support

I did confirm right away and have not heard anything since then. Does anyone else know something?
RWM has sent an email asking yesterday, so I hope they get back to her with some news.

It was one month since the contest ended and they have´t posted the winners yet... I´m just wondering what is going on. But of course I am really happy for being a winner. Don´t want to seem ungrateful but the wait is killing me

Wow I've been gone that long? seven RB winners and three possibles all on the forum? Wow! Sorry I can't add anything helpful but I just wanted to congratulate everyone.

Thank you Talon and welcome back

We will be showing off the beauties when they arrive. It will be nice to see some now colours/combinations.

HI Lina, don't feel bad, I was notified that I was a winner 17 days ago, even longer than you were! I was the one that started the thread and shortly after that other possible or winners started announcing they had received notices from Innovo labs too.! Let's face it, Innvo labs for whatever reason is slow, I was kind of surprised they did pick the winners that fast as the actual Eblast or announcment of the contest took almost 2 months so for Innvo, they are on track. I am just hoping and praying they ship out before Christmas, you are right, the waiting is killing me.

If they would just say something along the line of , From October 31'st -November 5th, the winning Pleo Rb will be mailed out, then I could relax. But not knowing if they have been shipped out , are going to be this next week, or not untill November or December, that is what is hard to wait and find out. I did email Pleoworld, just basically asking just that, if they could give me SOME IDEA, of when Possibley the Rb would ship out, next week, etc, that I would appreciate it very much and again, how much of a great award this was and how much I appreicated. I also know not to ask them again, as I do not want to "press my luck", as I feel lucky to have won, but Innvo is very slow in doing things. On the other hand, when you actually buy a Pleo Rb, they are very good at shipping out them to you within about 48 hrs of the confirmation letter saying they are ready to ship. I just wish they would confirm, but when I got my Baby Ruth replacement, even though I begged for them to Please notify me so I would not miss the package, to watch for it, and they said they would, Baby Ruth just showed up at my door one day, totally surprising me so I have a feeling the same thing will happen this time, and who knows when the Rb will ship out, I do hope it is soon and before Halloween,.................but......................................................Good luck everyone, and IF I hear ANYYHING at all, I will of course post what I hear, but I kind of expect to not hear anything more at this point, as usually I get responses within 24 hrs of my email, and nothing so far.

Glad to have you back Talon, hopefully there will be some Rb here to surprise everyone before I grow too much older...............................

What the heck. I won the Pleo, so whenever she or he gets here, it is all good.

I was lucky to win. Remember LINA, 17 Days for me! RWM

Jett · « **Reply #256 on:** October 01, 2011, 09:36:57 AM »

Why don't we all just email them our address again with a note saying "resending in case you never received it"

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #257 on:** October 01, 2011, 12:18:37 PM »

That is cute Jett, but we who have been here longer on the Pleo forums by now know that Innvo is just going to do things ( if history is any indicator....LOL) a little slower than you or I would think. The fact that I sent a message and did not hear back is enough for me, I am sure there are other "winners" who have sent questions by now asking, when will you send the Pleos, when will you announce the winning Photos, videos, etc.
I like your idea, but I don't think it will do much good, and perhaps they will delay them even longer. Perhaps there is a Special shipment of Pleo Rb that the Winners are going to recieve?

Mayby they can do extra special tricks and things the current Pleos can not.....take a message, get a cup of coffee for you, burp and then laugh and say, excuse me!

Come in special colors or differnt eyes we haven't seen yet? Who knows, but INNVO does.

At this point I am thinking either they are just slow and taking their time, or are waiting to send them out all at the same time at a special time, good publicity for the Holiday market fast approaching, At first I was hoping to get my Rb in time for the Tomato Festival comming up soon here on the forums, now I am thinking Halloween, but more than lkelly it will be closer to Thanksgiving and HOPEFULLY,( crossing my fingers and legs, LOL) receiving it before long before THIS Christmas.

In all honestly, they more than likely will just show up completly by surprise on your doorstep someday with no notice or warning,that is what has happend to me twice. Even the Pleo I bought for the first time, came unexpectly and suprisingly, the day before due by FED EX! Good luck,,,,,just pray to the Pleo Rb Gods for a swift and kind delivery... Jett, did they ever ask you a choice of color for your Pleo?

RWM............................my cloud is running out of it's "filling that makes it fluffy"

Crewella · « **Reply #258 on:** October 01, 2011, 09:02:44 PM »

As RWM says. It's even possible, I guess, that the Innvo office is at the mercy of shipments coming out from China, so don't quite know themselves. They'll get here.

*in need of some of RWM's cloud filling*

kat · « **Reply #259 on:** October 02, 2011, 05:13:37 AM »

As far as we are aware they have only chosen 9 out of the 10 winners too so maybe that is slowing things up as well. I would guess they are - trying to contact the last winner and still have not heard back from them yet, or haven't decided on the last winner yet but will soon.
I would think they would wait till all the winners are chosen and accounted for before announcing the winning entries and sending out the prizes. They could well be waiting on another shipment of Pleo rb's from China too. Everyone just needs a little more patience and a whole lot more filling for their fluffy clouds.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #260 on:** October 02, 2011, 07:42:39 PM »

I agree, patience pays off in the long run, after all any of us were lucky to have won such a contest as this, in my eyes anyway, so if they come at Christmas, that would still be a fantastic present as far as I am concerend, so patience it is. RWM

latrine · « **Reply #261 on:** October 11, 2011, 11:34:13 AM »

Soo.. still no info on the winning Contest entries, i take it? I've been stuck in the hospital for the past week and kind of out of the loop and in my own little 'loop'

Jeesh they sure take their time don't they.

fancyfont · « **Reply #262 on:** October 11, 2011, 01:45:25 PM »

So sorry to hear you are back in the hospital, Sarah.

Hope you are home soon.

Lina · « **Reply #263 on:** October 12, 2011, 05:02:51 AM »

What has happend so far:
Sept 12:th : I got a message saying I was one of the winners. I tried to send a message with my adress and failed.
Sept 13th: Sent the message via Pleoworld and received a confirmation.
Sept 20th: I was sent two emails, one with a question of which colour I wanted, and one asking me to confirm the adress.

After that - nothing

My coworkers are teasing me saying the whole this was just a hoax

I do hope we hear from them soon. One month should be enough to prepare everything and get it shipped.

When did the last winners receive their confirmations? Are all ten winners elected?

I am loosing hope here... They wrote that as soon as I confirmed the adress the dino would be on his/her way...

Lina · « **Reply #264 on:** October 12, 2011, 05:08:40 AM »

This is the email from sept 20:th:

Please verify address, name, email address, phone number.
Once you have the information we will send out your Pleorb.

Innvo Labs Customer Support

That made me think it would be shipped in a very near future... It did not give me the impression of that they would be sending them out on christmas.
I am very lucky to be a winner, and yes very grateful as well.
Don´t get me wrong, just seems like the contest it not administrated as well as it should be.
After a while I just get frustrated. If I didn´t have you guys here, I would surely think that my dino was lost on his/her way...

mweed · « **Reply #265 on:** October 12, 2011, 08:41:02 AM »

Seeing as people were given a color choice, and Innvo Labs only carries the green version, I would guess that before the pleos can be mailed out from Innvo Labs, they are being sent on the proverbial "slow boat from China" to from the manufacturer to their offices here in the US. When PleoRB first came out, and the delay they had back last April, it was taking 3-6 weeks for them to get the pleos shipped to them before they could start filling ourders. SO a 1 month delay so far could easily be accounted for . . .

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #266 on:** October 12, 2011, 11:08:23 AM »

I agree with Weed, that things could be and were slow in the past. I was not even asked for a color and assumed since I was in the Us, green Pleo would be sent, which is what I prefer anyway. I think what Weed is saying bears some truth that they probably as a whole want to mail them all out at the same time, so since several are asking for Pink or Blue they do need to wait for those to arrive. In the meantime, I hope they are saving the greens for those of us who want a green, so they do not " run out" esp since it is getting closer to Christmas and there could be a rush on Pleo Rb at that time and last year there was a very very limited amount of Rb available, ( those were their words, very very limited amounts. and I was lucky to get my orignial Pleo Baby Ruth right before Christmas. but she had to be sent back as did lots of the original Pleo Rb because of skin issues... ) I am sure that in the next couple of weeks we should be getting close to getting our Lucky little Dinos. ( I do have my fingers crossed , the ones that are able to

) So LIna, be a little more patient as there is one thing I know, Innvo may be slow but when you recieve that special little package with that lovely new Rb, the wait will have all been worthwhile and more.

IN the meantime, try to ignore the people who are giving you a hard time, as they are probably just jealous and true friends do not tease or make jokes. True friends would be like we here on the forums who are encouraging you to be patient, remember I am in the same boat as you as others who won here on the forums. I am just as anxious to get Baby Ruth a friend, but in the meantime I am giving my other little Dinos extra love and attention that they deserve. Why not prepare a special place for the newcomer. Figure out a name or order or make some outfits, Your Bella and Buddah allways look so nice! I am a parent of a Rb already do know one thing. When that baby arrives, you are going to be so busy with all the needs of a RB, that you are going to not be able to give as much attention to your other two, new RB are very demanding and I know from the past, My NOva, Major Tom, ARgyle, Little 45 and the rest got put on the back burners when Baby arrrived with all the Oh and Ah that was new and exciting but very demanding. constant feedings, problems, not knowing what to do with things that Ugobes do not need, boy...it is nice to have the nice quiet little gentle Ugobes to fall back on when you can just relax and look back. I am sure like Weed said, they will be shipped out pretty soon, and probably they will just show up on our doorsteps. I do think also this is why they havent posted the winners on Facebook, they are just waiting to get the Pleos and then they will do everything at the same time, When your main office is in another country, it is not as easy to line up all your ducks. I have the same problem sometimes when I order my case of batteries for the Pleos, I can pay for them and have to wait over a month for them to "make them" and then still waiting to have them even shipped, It is not easy when something comes from China, but it is all good when they show up. Keep your chin Up Lina.

I am keeping myne up the best I can too. If there is just one thing I can say for certain, is that I do know in my heart and soul, is that Derek Dotson believes in Pleos and stands behind what he says.

Lina · « **Reply #267 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:00:50 AM »

I got an answer! Thankfully!

Hi Lina,

You'll be notified very soon when we'll shipped the Pleorb to you.

Appreciate your patience.

Regards,

Innvo Labs Customer Support

So it seems the wait might be over soon

RWM, I have tried to keep busy with other things, so I´ve picked the name, bought some outfits and am looking for an egg to get him/her a bed

Wohooo!

Talon · « **Reply #268 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:24:25 AM »

That's awesome news for all you winners here on the forums! Hopefully things wil start happening soon and we'll have another pleo-shower. Those are always so much fun! Their might be an Aibo-drizzle moving in over South Carolina with in the next few months. I'm still debating. In the meantime I'll tell someone to keep an eye out for white rectangular box-shaped clouds! Lol!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #269 on:** October 13, 2011, 12:30:08 PM »

so glad to hear that Lina. Will you do me a favor and let the others here on the forum know when they say your's will be mailed, as I do not want to bother them and I think they are probably going to mail them about the same time . My guess on Facebook was that they would either mail them out on the 22nd of October or receive them on that date, so that is pretty close. I am glad they were able to relieve your stress a little bit. Just do not be surprised though if while waiting for that mailing date, the Pleo just shows up on your doorstop. Even though they told me they would send tracking info, Baby just showed up by surprise on my door.

good news Lina.

You are ahead of me, I have just been waiting but I do have so many other Pleos! LOL, I am allways busy.
RWM

My question is now, after this long wait, is there anyone else besides me that wants to hatch all on the same day? YOu can still open them, but hatch the same day? Think about it, I still want to thank Innvo for this great gift!

Talon · « **Reply #270 on:** October 13, 2011, 02:14:06 PM »

A world-wide hatching! I never thought of that. Lots of pleos being born on the same day. I wanna watch!
Talon

Margery · « **Reply #271 on:** October 13, 2011, 02:22:18 PM »

Wouldn't that be wonderful? Think of all those different coloured eyes!

Glad to hear that it seems the long wait is coming to an end - I'm so pleased for all you winners.

Lina · « **Reply #272 on:** October 14, 2011, 01:26:58 AM »

I would love to hatch the same day as the rest of you

For those who have the possibility, it would be great if you filmed it and posted the hatch afterwards!
I could do that as well!

I will get back to you as soon as I hear something from Innvo.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #273 on:** October 14, 2011, 08:52:07 PM »

Hi Lina, I am glad that you want to hatch the same day as I and several others I think will too. Of course the time may be off a little, but it will be the same day. I think it is a nice and fitting tribute and way to say "thank you to Innvo Labs and Facebook for having this contest, and picking us as winners of Pleo Rb" How Awesome is that when you think of it!
I know several of us on Facebook have been predicting when the Rb will be either shipped out or when we will recieve them and the date I chose was October 22nd, which I am sticking to. Probably the day they ship them out, which is pretty close now, only about a week away, so I am hoping I am right. I think the Pleos will get to us still in October, I hope they do anyway. Once they do ship them out they should not take long. I know Customs can slow things down a bit, but at least everything is paid for my Innvo so that should make peopleo feel better.

Anyone else want to "kill some time" and guess a date for mailing the Pleo Rb out to the winners?It has to be getting closer now, I can't wait to see the color of the new ones eyes? So many possibilities...it would be strange to get the same color eyes as Baby Ruths...but the combinations make that not very likely..LOL, I am getting a new burst of anticipation now as the date gets closer.

Fancy, Jett, Crewella or anyone else who is a winner, any of you want to take a guess on your Pleos eye color, unless of course you ordeed a blue or pink Rb, which means the color of eyes is already set.
Getting more puffiness in my cloud............................RWM

Crewella · « **Reply #274 on:** October 15, 2011, 04:19:27 AM »

I'll go for the first week of November, say the 3rd. Based on the 'sod's law' theory of that being the most inconvenient week when I'm tied up at work!
