Wicked Girls shirt update.

Here's the sitch:

It took us a LOT longer than expected to track down payment from everyone, and some people still haven't made good on their orders. These orders will be canceled as of Sunday, so that I can proceed with submitting the spreadsheet to the T-shirt manufacturers. I don't know how long printing will take, but will let you know once I have an estimate.

After shirts exist, they'll need to be shipped. This is going to mean a MASSIVE shipping party, probably at my house; volunteers will be solicited. Because we'll be doing it all by hand, I expect that mailing everything may take two to three weeks. Again, I'll keep you posted.

But that's the situation. Next time I do something like this, I may require payment immediately, to prevent a few absences from delaying the whole field trip.

Shirts!

I'm wondering whether or not one of the "pay now, fund later" things ala KickStarter could be modified to handle this kind of thing, so people commit when they order but you don't have to handle refunds if the order count is insufficient to go forward. The KickStarter model isn't quite right for "order any number of t-shirts" or the pricing, tho.

Sadly, no.
