I already sent my Topps Chrome wrappers in. I'm moving out of town in a week. Nice::facepalm::
Who would thought they would ship this soon?
Been waiting to send in the Bowman Chrome wrappers and redeem a Brian Matusz rainbow plus 25 other Matusz redeemtions since I will have a different address.

My question is...can I send in my Bowman Chrome wrappers with my Topps Chrome Wrappers...and have them sort it out. That would save me in shipping. It doesn't make sense that I have to send them in separately since they are going to the same place. Just a different ATTN:

It makes sense to seperate them. They are probably going to different depts and you are just going to cause more headaches for them and especially yourself because you didn't follow directions and send them to the correct place. Spend the extra 2 bucks and send them correctly if you want the cards. Readers are Leaders.

What if I put them in separate bags. I'm pretty anal when it comes to this type of thing. But it just doesn't make any sense to me to have to ship them separately. It's similar to their damage card process where you can only send in lots of 25 cards at a time. I recently did a case break and had more then 50 cards that are damaged (glue, scratches, poorly cut). But now I have to send them in separately.
I'm not trying to make their life more difficult. But I figured I'd asked to see if someone has already asked Topps.

just separate them dude.
It's easier for them and therefor less of a chance one of yours gets screwed up.
Spend the extra 2.00 so you know they are going to the right place

I think you guys are not understanding my question. I'm not asking what's going to be easier. I want to know if someone else has asked Topps this same question and got a response regarding 2 different products in one shipment. It just makes too much sense to do so.

It's two dollars.
This sounds like the same kind of situation that the guy last week had, who sent in cards to BGS at one time under 2 different promotions, then was mad at them because they couldn't sort out the 2 orders when they got there.
Just separate them at the start and send them in as instructed. These are the kinds of things that log-jam up the process for everybody.

They are going to the same department , but please separate bowman chrome from topps chrome wrappers. Please group the topps chrome in 24 count lots and bowman chrome in 18 count lots.
Please mail the wrappers for the topps chrome together in one package separated and the same with bowman chrome.
Never mix the two products together, this might result not receiving your packs.

Since I broke a case of Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome, I have already shipped the Topps Chrome wrappers before the announcement of the Bowman Chrome promotion. The 12 bundles of 24 fit nicely in a USPS flat rate box the cost $4.95 to ship. What's so hard about this?
I plan on doing the same with the Bowman Chrome wrappers this week with my new address.

I already sent my 3 cases worth of TC wrappers as 3 bubble envelopes with a rubber-band bundle of 288 wrappers each. More specific instructions earlier on would have helped.

Some of you guys don't get what I'm saying here. I don't mind having to send stuff in separately. Extra shipping is no big deal. I just want clear instructions, not everyone opinion on what they "think" I should do.
I'm the kind of person who follows rebate forms to a T. With this wrapper redemption, it was just "Send your wrappers to..." And that's all. Then Topps comes out and says "Send them in one box in bundles of ..." and it clarifies as well as mystifies what to do.
I appreciate everyone's opinions on this topic, but you guys weren't understanding my question.

It's not "hard". But as DINABBS just stated, it's going to the same place. It would make more sense to send them in one box, but separated. Everyone is missing the point.
I also sent in my TC wrappers before the BC redemption was announced. But I also bought another case of TC recently and I need to send those in. If I can save myself the trouble and send them together, I think it's a fair question for me to ask the community because I'm sure there are others that are in the same boat as me. But as DINABBS explained, send them separately. That's all I needed to hear. Clear directions from the source.
I'll say this again and again. Most people on this forum are so cynical and unhelpful. As collectors, I would think we all would want to help each other. Give people the benefit of the doubt. If YOU opened 2 cases of TC and 2 cases of BC at the same time, and you knew it was going to the exact same place, why would you want to send them in separately when there are no directions that tell you otherwise?

Cynical and unhelpful??? We were trying to help you out. Everyone told you to send them seperately and a Rep from Topps DINABBS confirmed our responses.
If you follow everything to a "T" then you would have sent the wrappers to the correct address & to the correct ATTN:
Sending it to the correct ATTN should have let you know NOT to send the wrappers of TC & BC together.
If I opened up 2 Cases of TC and 2 Cases of BC at the same time I would send them seperately since the ATTN is different for both.
Not trying to be cynical or anything.
But you just contradicted yourself.
Sending all together would, of course, be easier on you. And probably make some sense, seeing as how they are the same address.
Following to a "T" would mean sending one package of TC and one of BC, which of course is more work, but is what the instructions were.
Yes, they are to the same company, but two completely independent promotions. They shouldn't have to put out 3 sets of instructions (TC goes here, BC goes here, oh and if you have both...do this). They said for TC, send them to that ATTN, and for BC, send them to the other ATTN. They shouldn't have to add a third announcement for people with both.
I understand what you were trying to say and do. And it does make sense.
But what if somehow they all just ended up in a big pile in one of the departments, and didn't get separated once they got there. And you ended up with all TC or all BC packs sent back? A problem that probably wouldn't happen, but could be avoided.
Sending them in their own packages is the easiest way to head off any possible problems/confusion.

Let's take a step back here and go back in time before Bowman Chrome was release. There was an entire thread dedicated to "How to send in wrappers for Topps Chrome" because...people didn't know. All Topps said was "Send it to ...yada yada....ATTN: Topps Chrome Wrapper Promotion". There were no other directions. So people started asking questions to the rest of the community and no one had a definitive answer.
Fast forward to the present, and the same was done with Bowman Chrome. "Send it here." But then Topps decided to tweet "Send them all at once in one box". Well...that was new information that wasn't previously announced.
I'm not contradicting myself because there were no clear directions.
And to gogosox40, people weren't trying to help me. They were telling me to stop being stingy and pay more money to ship the wrappers separately. But let's say I wasn't the one asking the question. And I was giving some answer "Yeah...you should send each box of wrappers separately so that it doesn't cause any confusion. I also think you should insure and pay for delivery confirmation just in case...and make sure you put them in individual bags and label them so they don't get mixed up when they get there...." Should I expect everyone to listen to me???
Anyway, this is really pointless now that DINABBS has clarified this entire thing. I just wanted to make a point that far too often, I see people on this thread think they have all the answers and shun people from asking "stupid" questions. Like I said...we should be a community that wants to help eachother, because honestly, when the community prospers, the hobby prospers.
I can tell you this, I'm not the only person that feels this way. You will see people getting offended in almost every thread posted here at FCB. I'm just sayin...help a brotha out.
