Hi Everyone,

Havent been on in a fair while but been reading. This year has been trying for me membership wise. Im on the rollover or prepay plan
or whatever they call it, paid my dues back in November I think with everybody else, still have no membership card or anything. Its been
shocking the service this year. Contacted the club they said they sent out 2nd membership pack, that didn't arrive either. So either they
are taking the mickey or someone is pinching our mail. Anyway I hope everyone had a great Christmas, really looking to 2019 and I think we will win the flag. The membership seems to be trekking along nicely too.

Cheers

I’ve received 3 of my 5 memberships but not the other 2 (they have me cards that don’t have the barcodes  - I don’t know what they’re even supposed to do). Rang them, got the cards, then got them again 2 weeks later.
The “system “ is a joke
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Has the mailhouse/distribution been altered or expanded in any way in recent years since our membership numbers have exploded? Doesn't sound like it. Ramps and WP's poor experiences seem quite common this year.



ps. Great to hear from you, Ramps  :cheers.

Does the club still handle its own memberships? I figure we still sell them, I mean the production of cards and the mail out.

After my experiences with merchandise after the 2017 flag, and finding out that it was an AFL warehouse contractor that was sending the stuff to me, I wonder whether that might be the issue here. It would make business sense that the AFL try to economise this type of function for clubs.

Regardless, pretty damn amateurish.

Club sell them, do the runs re the cards, but the sending out and putting together what goes where is done by 3PL

My understanding is it isnt the same mob who do the merch.

I work in Africa and they were taking the pee out of me for saving Africa.......
