I’ve just part-shipped the grey, navy and green t-shirts that had previously been on hold pending the arrival of the black t-shirts.
Orders #29 #46 #95 #123
Sorry I didn’t do this sooner – I thought it would be a super-quick job to get the black ones done.
Apparently there was some reason why the order was not processed.
Why they can’t pick up on these things, I have no idea. Unfortunately, they seem like the kind of company that only action things when you’ve managed to catch them on the phone.
Anyway – day before yesterday, they gave me a new date of 31st May delivered to me.
The t-shirts from Gildan are arriving with them on Tuesday.
Let’s hope this is the last of it.
Looking forward to putting this project to bed!
Looking forward to getting my T-shirt, hopefully before Sick! go out of business. Looking marginal with today’s news about them… Anybody care for a wager?
All 38 outstanding t-shirts were received last night.
There was one error by me and one error by the printing company (although I should have spotted it on their quote).
But we’ve managed to substitute other colours with agreement from the customer, so fingers crossed that they work out ok.
They are all now boxed and at the post office awaiting processing.
Hopefully they’ll be arriving Tuesday or Wednesday for UK orders.
Once I’ve got a full bill and haven’t received any complaints, I’ll issue full accounts and make the donation to Mountain Rescue.
oh – and there are a handful of Medium Black t-shirts left over (and maybe one size S).
Once things have settled, I’ll put the individual t-shirts up on the shop for purchase and clear the decks.
No large left vondally I’m afraid.
The original mixup transposed the sizes downwards – so I have too many S and M.
I think there’s one XL Grey left, but I’m not selling any until most orders should have been delivered, just in case someone needs to swap, or I got something wrong.
I have a few left over that I will put on the shop when I’m certain there aren’t any errors or non-deliveries. 7x Black M, 1x Grey XL and 1x Ladies Blue M.
Then it’s a case of working out if there’s enough interest to do a 3rd run. Minimum quantity that keeps the current price is about 30 tees.
I must say, with pleasing irony, this would be a great lesson, for those with eyes to see it, on how to manage supply issues and keep your customers up to date and happy. 🙂
Massive thanks to bikebouy for the gift, really appreciate it and I will wear it with pride. And a massive thanks to AlexSimon and minions for sorting, packing and posting.
Hi Earl – no, I made a quick webshop at this address http://thingswelike.org/stw-tees/ (nothing for sale at the mo). I think it does stock control, so I can sell exactly the sizes I have left. Haven’t tried it though.
I guess if people are trying to reserve them on here, what I’ll do is send out a PM to those who said they wanted one, but I think the only way to do it is first-come-first-served on the shop otherwise it becomes a very manual process.
