[QUOTE="Smit-Dog, post: 550506, member: 25436"] Magoo, I spoke with Loren Hersey this morning to try and get more clarification on some of your concerns. This is what I found out: - Any DNR licensing agent who sold more than 80 ORV stickers in 2002 will [u]automatically[/u] receive a supply of pre-printed 2003 ORV stickers. The 2003 stickers should already be in the possession of the licensing agents. - If you were considered a low-volume ORV licensing agent, i.e. sold less than 80 stickers last year, you can still get a supply of ORV stickers by calling the DNR. I'd imagine that contacting Loren Hersey at (517) 373-1205 would be a good starting point. There aren't any vendors that are being denied the right to carry the stickers. - If a club like the Sandstormers want to be able to provide ORV stickers for out-of-state riders for special events, then can get them directly from the DNR. Local licensing agents may not have the quantity required on hand, i.e. 100 stickers for the UP-300. Or clubs/event organizers can communicate to all participants that ORV stickers can be conveniently purchased ahead of time at the DNR E-License web site. - Hopefully by the end of this week, the DNR will have a listing on their web site of the nearly 500 licensing agents that now have 2003 ORV stickers available. The 2003 stickers have already been sent out, so these agents should have a supply on hand. - ORV stickers will also be available at any of the 9 DNR Operation Service Centers. Click here for locations: [url]http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/1,1607,7-153--21107--,00.html[/url] Did you go to the DNR Operations Center in Marquette? You mentioned "Regional Office", so I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing. Anyway, hours at an DNR Operations Center are 8am-5pm Monday - Friday, so I don't know if you've had a chance to check there yet. According to this Loren guy, they should have them. - The DNR is also looking to contract with an group/vendor like the Michigan Snowmobile Association to act as another point of distribution. This should be in place by year-end. Loren indicated that the DNR is in the process of evaluating vendors to fulfill this role. - As far as dealers carrying them, I would think that it would be in the dealer's best interest to carry ORV stickers as a convenience to their customers. Any decision on their part not to is just shortsighted, IMO. Buy a bike, buy a sticker. Go there to buy a sticker, pick up some oil, plugs, etc. As with any change, there are going to be some bumps in the road. I think that this is a step in the right direction. Eliminating POS stickers probably had more to do with cost-savings than making ORV stickers harder to get. Considering that the DNR is a government entity, and that they don't necessarily have a competitive incentive to have a progressive e-commerce initiative in place, I'm fairly impressed. For some licenses and permits, you can order online, and print out the permit right on your printer. Probably will only be used by a minority of users, but still a nice convenience they're offering. Now if they can only create something whereby I never have to step foot in a Secretary of State office for the rest of my life.... :worship: [/QUOTE]
