Default Welcome package

Hello

I was told by a buddy who bought his C7 about a month before me that after about 2-3 weeks, he received a welcomed package from GM. Is this normal, because its been about 4 week and I have not gotten anything. He said the package contained a day planner, and other neat stuff.

It could be weeks or months to receive. It's not really worthwhile anyway, so you are not missing much.

It was months before mine came, the car was put away for the winter when it did come.

It's only a pouch the color of your interior with a nice book in it.

Took delivery in July. Nothing from GM or Chevy. With the fine announced today I'm not holding my breath.

Because this car is so popular and selling like hot pizza on a cold day everything associated with it is in constraint. Including your tote bag

Heck, GM put me on a waitlist for the 2016 C7 brochure

I hear the best thing in the package is a discount coupon that allows you to take a driving course. I understand it's a pretty neat course from those who have done it.

Waited about 3 months, nice extra touch, the leather document holder matches your interior color.

You are correct, however, one must pay attention to the expiration dates on the document for Spring Mountain it expires about one year after the package was sent.

There is a number you can call to request one if lost or not delivered. I did this several months ago and received mine ('15). Number was listed on one of the threads regarding the leather case.

The booklet is kinda stupid but the smell is fascinating. When I got mine I sat in my car jamming 80s metal while I read (and smelled) it.

Maybe if you sell the car you'll get it.

That's pretty pathetic on GM's part.
