Dam? Wheres my cert?

That is much longer than average (which used to be about 6 weeks tops) so you should contact MCPhelp@microsoft.com with the exam details (from your score report). They usually respond within 48 hours.

Actually Garv, we have he same problem. I passed the first MS Exam (70-215) last June 21 and until now the Welcome Kit is still not in my hand.

I don't know if MS know my place (Philippines)

I've call MS and asked for assistance regarding my MCP Welcome Kit and they re-ordered again and again. I have two certs (215 and 270) and still my welcome kit is still shipped according to MCP Website.

On monday i'll sit for 218.

M$ is screwy....I ordered mine, got it two days later.....although it was rainsoaked from falling out of the mailbox. I emailed, told them what happened, three days later, I got a new one.

Ricka182 & allylaurente - You guys are on opposite sides of the spectrum huh?

I sent them an email & I'm actually not that concerned since I'll be getting my MCSA here before 05'. It would just be nice.

Comptia's came quick like 2 weeks. MS is slacking!

Hmm.. and I keep looking for mine and I sat 8/13. I think it's 8 weeks to the day. I'll request a resend I guess.

Microsoft is extremely hard to get a hold of. If they respond to you i will be shocked.

The opposite it true actually, if you send a message to that email address I posted earlier they usually respond within 48 hours. They are always extremely helpful and to the point, and a resend it never a problem.

Thats great! We just had a big discussion on that in my Windows Xp class. The teacher said that its really hard to get a hold of Microsoft. I even know people that said the same. Glad thats not true.

Well, I think it matters a great deal what information you supply in your message. If it is complete, and clear, and provide your MCP ID (if you received one), then they usually respond within a couple of days and take action within the week following.

Webmaster was right- I opened up Outlook this morning at work & an email was waiting for me to revierify my living address so they can re-send it. Thanks!

I was very dissapointed by the appearance of the certification

I have other certifications that look pimp and dont mind framing and showing off, but the microsoft one looked so cheezy.

It would be nice if they offered a nice printed one on some good paper or something, heck even charge $5 for it and I woulda done it.

My microsoft cert stays in the welcome kit box

I heard some people like to include it in a folder when they interview - so I will probably do this next time I interview.

Just dissapointed because I wanted to be the computer nerd and frame them around my office

I'll frame MCSE and possibly MCSA. The others, not likely.

Very True. I'm still awaiting a cert that feels like an accomplishment.

I got a response back from MS today. Apparently I didnt request the welcome kit. Sure thought I did.. though it's odd that you should even have to. But hey, I'm just a tech...

Well I got my Welcome Kit Tuesday. Just a few days after emailing them, they rushed it to my house.

Cool, I'm glad it worked out and that MS is still as prompt as I'm used to.

I agree, in the old days they'd just send it within 6 weeks after passing the exam. I guess they just want to make sure it gets send to the right address. I just happened to notice it when I passed the MCSA 2003 upgrade exam and was checking out the MCP site... finally I realized why I hadn't received my MCSA 2000 cert yet...

allylaurente

congrats for receiving your welcome kit.

mine is still not delivered. so i emailed them ang give alternate address.

That was about 2 weeks ago, a second welcome kit showed up friday? Two's always better than one.

Mine came yesterday. Yeah, cheesy is the right word for the certificate.

I'm glad it came! Cheesy, yeah...I can't lie though, I framed it.

I agree, all good things should come in pairs

I still frame all my certs no matter how ugly there are. Waiting on my CCNA now, hope it doesn't look like crap

MS took about 4 weeks to get my MCP to me and 3 for my MCSA, so not too bad
