I'm okay with a price increase, but either way is fine.

The quality of the shirts is excellent so I wouldn't object to paying more to get one TPC.  I'm good either way.

Okay, question to everyone

The prices of shirts have made a huge jump this year.  By that I don't mean the printing, that has stayed the same, but the actual cost of each individual teeshirt.  I can continue to offer our special edition teeshirts at the same prices if we go with single colour (i.e., a black and white image) on the shirts.  If we went with full colour as we have done for the last few years, the minimum price increase would be $5 per shirt.  EITHER WAY we'd still need to meet a minimum number of shirt pre-orders in order to break-even.

For those who weren't around back in 2008 when we began, we order only a small number each year (from a shirt printing perspective) and we don't use it as a fundraiser, we basically cover the costs of printing and packaging and the Project makes a dollar or two per shirt depending on the size and style.

So, do we want to go with a special edition teeshirt this year?  Single Colour (price stays the same) or Full Colour (price increase)?
I have been working on a design so if folks would like to see before deciding, please do mention that in your reply.


If folks have other ideas, please feel free to post them here as well.

Thanks!
TPC

The 2017 teeshirts have arrived! 
 
If you need me to hold onto your teeshirt for a couple more days or a couple of months - let me know!
 
MAIL OUTS - plan to put in the mail Saturday.  Because it is the holiday season, please let me know when you receive your order just so we can be sure they haven't gone astray.
 
LOCAL PICKUPS - I'm just checking with the Radisson to make sure it is still okay to pick up from there - WILL CONFIRM RADISSON IS THE PICK-UP LOCATION SHORTLY SO DON'T HEAD DOWN THERE YET!   Staff at the Hotel change regularly and policies get updated so we always have to get approval first.  If we have to change locations I have a couple of ideas fermenting already :)
 
That's it for now - let me know if you have questions or concerns.  Talk with you all again soon,
TPC

Friday is the Last Day to Pre-Order 2017 Special Edition Gear

Deadline for pre-order = November 24th @ 2359h CST

Click here for more information on this year's design
 
 
Believe it or not, this is our 11th year offering special edition shirts.  Unfortunately, shirt prices have gone up this year, so may have to look at a small price increase next year. Or we may change how often we offer special edition shirts/totes for sale.

Will float the idea on the Forum in the new year so that everyone can make suggestions or suggest new ideas.

Is it possible to order items by mail, or only online?

Just to make sure we are all talking about the same thing, pre-ordering special edition teeshirts is not the same as buying things online.  You fill out a pre-order form online that sends me all the information I need but that's all.  I then email an invoice so folks can make sure their order information is correct and they can see what the final price will be.  Payment can be online with PayPal or by credit card or payment can sent by mail.  But not cash, never mail cash as there is no guarantee it will arrive safely.

If using the online pre-order form is a problem, we can make special arrangements - send me an email or a private message and we can find a way to make it work.

What a very striking picture of Bristol.  It's a great shame that this should be an "in memoriam" shirt, rather than a celebration of a living bird.

On the other hand, it is good to know that all her chicks fledged successfully.

Delayed launch of the design - last minute debate over changing this year's design.  In the end, decided not to ...
