T shirts

    Ok, I have a problem. I know I stuck my hand up to get the T shirts
    made but since then I've had some serious work overcommitments arise
    which means that for the last few weeks and at least the next few as
    well I'll be doing long hours 7 days a week.

    The upshot is that although I could still do the DFVing it would turn
    into the same kind of slow, drawn out exercise as last time and that's
    exactly what I wanted to avoid happening again.

    Does anyone want to step to the fore and manage the process? This will
    involve getting quotes for Darsy's wonder-design, putting together the
    pricing, posting details and taking orders from ukrmers, declaring a
    cutoff for orders and re-confirming the quote with the supplier now
    there's 12 different colours and half as many shirts as you thought,
    persuading everyone to send their money in (the difficult part),
    raising the order, taking delivery, packing and addressing the orders
    and finally, posting..! (sounds easy when you say it quick, eh?)

    I feel a bit crap about backing out and as I said, if noone wants to
    step forwards I'll still do it, but I can't make it snappy.

    useful to DFV this - but I'm not known for being the most efficient

    Weren't the last lot of t-shirts printed by a place located in Liverpool?
    I can't remember who organised it last time but if whoever it is points
    me in the right direction I'll volunteer.

    I think Bridgewater - Liverpool might be a bit far though. (I thought it
    would be a good idea to actually go down in person to discuss the terms
    and prices).

    Errm. At this point do I say 'hurrah' or do I say 'damn' <G>

    I'll need a ball park figure of the volume we are looking for, plus a pic
    from the winner of the artwork, and take it from there.

    It's your dog Charlie Brown, but if it were me I'd assume 50 for the quote,
    that way it's a bonus if you sell more and can go back to the supplier to
    negotiate the price downwards. Work out your pricing allowing for postage
    (surprisingly pricey) and packing (it helps if you can save up A4 sized
    secondhand envelopes from work, or ask others on here if they can give you
    some). Put on a mark up to make it worth doing, then post away with all
    details to get ukrmers to make a reservation. When you have enough firm
    orders, reconfirm the quote, collect the money (important!) and off you go.

    Speak to Darsy about an artwork proof.

    I could but then it wouldn't get the caustic remarks from scousers that
    seem over sensitive.

    I do wonder if you don't have a background in petty-theft given your
    sensitivity over the subject.

    As it happens, I don't. Admittedly I am sensitive when it comes to the
    subject, but that is because I dislike people assuming things about me
    purely because of where I was born.

    If anything, I'm too honest for my own good, which can be a bad thing
    sometimes.
