Ok, here is the deal on the T-shirts. The delivery time promised by the
CGI script was based on the assumption that we would order within a week
or so (as we had most of the designs ready) and that the shirts would
arrive in the time frame the company we were going to use said they would
arrive. Unfortunately there have been a number of delays, some clearly
our fault, some clearly not our fault, some in between. For instance,
some colours turned out not to be available for the sweat/golf shirts we
were going to have made as well, and there was no colour that even came
close, and we wanted to order everything at the same time to get the best
volume discount. Due to a miscommunication we had also failed to realize
that the sweat shirts would have to be embroidered and we had to make
sure that the selected design would also work when embroidered. Anyway,
the shirts finally arrived about 2 weeks before the party, at which point
we had 1,100 parcels to send. Heather, Jeni and Dana worked overtime to
get the shirts out before the deadline and they are the ones you should
be thanking :-)
Anyway, ALL the shirts that had been ordered before Oct 17 have been
shipped. Whether they arrived or not is another story. They were shipped
by USPS from MD, you are probably more familiar with parcel delivery
times within the US than I am :-) From now on, we will process new shirt
orders every other week.
