Got in contact with GM customer service and they are sending me the Welcome Packet.

Sent Customer Service the link to this thread and they stated that they will contact anyone on this thread who did not receive the welcome packet and remedy the situation.

Also, they are unsure as to why some people did not receive the packet.

Hopefully this is a closed issue.

It's a history of the Corvette book, a letter saying thanks, and an invitation to Spring Mountain. Honestly the box it came in is nicer than the book.

Got exactly the same thing yesterday. Bough the car from dealer stock exactly 4 months ago.

I picked up my Z51 roadster in Sept. The dealer said nothing about this or the driving school. Suck that you have to find these things out on forums.

Default Welcome packet

I have spoken to both GM customer service and my dealership but neither could tell me why I did not receive my welcome packet. The dealership told me to call CS and CS said they were not sure what I should get.

Is anybody getting an interior color-matched leather sleeve anymore?

No, it appears the sleeve went away. There's a plastic cow shortage in China.

Posting the following on behalf of Chevy Customer Care:

I see that some customers have received the Welcome Kit, but they are expecting something additional.

In an effort to avoid copying and pasting the same statement to multiple customers, I was hoping you could post this statement on my behalf at the top of this thread.

“Hello All,

I apologize if some of you have not yet received your Welcome Kit. Buying a new vehicle is certainly an exciting time, and we want these Welcome Kits to add to your excitement!

After reviewing this thread, I thought it would be helpful to clarify the contents of this Welcome Kit. Customers who purchase a 2014, 2015, or 2016 Corvette Stingray will receive a personalized letter, along with a leather sleeve made of actual Corvette Stingray seat leather. It can be used as a mini tablet cover or holder for glove box documents. Please keep in mind that this leather may not match the interior leather of the owner’s vehicle.

Inside the sleeve is an exclusive collector’s edition book that gives a look behind the vehicle’s creation, direct from the designers and engineers who created it. Other ownership perks include a special performance driving school offer and a one-year membership to the National Corvette Museum.

I hope this helps to clear things up, but if anyone still believes they have not yet received this kit, please feel free to reach out to Chevy Cust Svc in a private message.

All the best,

Corey K.
Chevrolet Customer Care”

I purchased my Z06 last June and never received the welcome kit either. Called CS once back in oct or nov and they had no idea what I was talking about. As with most things GM, consistent communication is not the strong suit.

Since the email from CS above indicates its for Stingray owners, perhaps they do not send one to Z06 purchasers?

Someone at Epsilon marketing (the company that sent me my kit) has a nice leather pouch collection going.

What I received was a nice jester, but not worth the postage to send it. Just my 2 cents.

I'm on the phone now with Customer Service. Guy is totally clueless. Now on hold while he checks with someone. I gave him Corey K.'s name as the author of the message in the post above. Anyone have any other suggestions?

On hold for 10 minutes. Guy came back and said Chevrolet Marketing handles this issue. He tried to transfer me but I got cut off. Typical customer service.

Anyone have a better number to call than the Chevrolet Customer Service number?
