Mail Order Disney Patches Collection

[Cheshire Figment]

I received a card in the mail from a company in Norwalk, CT, called "Willabee & Ward". They are offering embroidered cloth Disney patches in a series. Each one comes mounted on a 9" x 12" "Collector Panel" which gives information about the character.

I tracked them down and asked a few questions.

The price for each is "only" $ 16.95 plus $ 1.95 P&H for a total cost each of $ 18.90. They will be shipped two a month for the next 32 months. Considering the first one will only be $ 4.95, this means that if you buy all 65 you will pay only $ 1,214.55 (plus applicable sales tax).

You cannot pick and choose. Once you have started receiving them, you can cancel at any time but cannot get refunds for any shipments received.

There is a bonus; after the third shipment they will send you a FREE Collector Album.

Also, they said this offer (for the first one at $ 4.95) is "by special invitation only". They also said that "These Disney patches are too valuable to extend this unique opportunity to everyone". It would be interesting to figure out what Disney source(s) provided them the name and address.

Just thought people might be interested.

We have a group that pin trades in Chicago and almost everyone in our group well over 50 people got the same flyer and offer.

We talked about it and it had to be a Disney or ebay list of some kind since on a regular mailing of this type only about 1/2 the group gets something.

I got the same brochure yesterday. I think I'll use the money for an actual trip to WDW.
