Where's My
Sticker?!
If you have requested a FireNews.net sticker and haven't yet
received it, here's the reason why: we have switched suppliers
to give you a better quality sticker at the same price (free!).
Our first batch faded too quickly, and we're ordering new
stickers that should last much longer. We have retained all the
requests, and rest assured that if you have requested one,
you'll be receiving one. Thanks for your patience.
