Mailing ALL THE THINGS.

As of about fifteen minutes ago, the last of the first run of Wicked Girls shirts has been packed for mailing. As of this afternoon, the last fifty or so have gone out into the wild. They should be received over the next three to thirteen days or so, allowing for international postage. On Monday, when I get back from Texas, last ten will go into the mail. And then I will be done, except for the inevitable cleanup and sorting out of the last few issues.

At the moment, there are five shirts, belonging to three people, that haven't been packed. This is because three of those shirts appear to either a) be missing, or b) not exist. We're not sure which it is. Mom will be cleaning the entire shirt staging area over the weekend to figure out which is the case; considering that it was a total print run of almost three hundred shirts, three misprints is actually really good...unless one of those misprints was yours. On Monday, I'll be emailing anyone whose shirt still hasn't shown up to see how they want us to proceed.

(The options, if you're morbidly curious: refund, replacement with one of the shirts we still have, or replacement shirt printed in the next batch. Which yes, we are going to do. Now that we know where the pain points and delays are, we should be able to achieve the whole thing much more quickly, from initial order to final receipt.)

I have not, thus far, heard from anyone who received the wrong shirt, and I'm hopeful that this means nothing was mispacked at any stage during the entirely manual shipping process. "Hopeful" doesn't mean "certain." If you receive the wrong shirt, please let me know ASAP, as we only printed what was requested, and we'll need to figure something out.

Thanks again to everyone for your patience during this long, slow experiment. You've been awesome, and I really hope you like your shirts.

Thank you so much for this update!! I have been meaning to mail you --back in September, I emailed my updated address and I hope it was received?
Is there a way to verify that?

I look forward to these wonderful shirts and again, thank you so much for all your time and effort to do this!

I believe it was? I guess we'll find out when your shirt arrives, since I don't believe you're one of the three...

I have had my dark green Wicked shirt for a while, it is lovely and comfy and green and I wore it as pyjamas while on vacation in N'Awlins with a pair of orange pants, I felt it was appropriate. *grin* Thank you so much and I am very excited about another print run, because YAY!SHIRTs and also, everyone asks me about it (When I don't wear it for 'jammas) and then I get to squee about your CD. Win all around, I say.
Totally agreed!
You might be entertained by this, but my mom thought my Wicked Girls shirt was a reference to the musical Wicked. Oh, but then she had to put up with my mad squeeing about how no, it isn't, and what it really means!
Hee hee hee.

I am VASTLY entertained.
Just saw this

yay for concept of new batch!
I just need to finish cleaning up after this one.
Yea for the mailings. Hail! to the post office triple hail!!! to the packers. Anticipation abounds
Yay for not having them in my house anymore!
*eagerly (and patiently!) awaits shirt*
Wee!
I ordered a teal shirt, but the one I got is more "navy blue" than "teal". I just chalked it up to Colors On The Internet.
Yeah, sadly, that was Colors On The Internet. We had some confusion in the "is this red or scarlet?" arena, and had to go by "well, we should have 10 red and 6 scarlet, so the one we have more of is red."
Yay!
Glee.
Thank you for the update on the shirts!!
No problem!

Thank you for your patience. <3
Oh good! We were just talking about where my shirt might be, and I'm glad you're still just working on the sendings.

I'm all excited! I'll have a Wicked Girls shirt soon!
All is sent.
*happy dances a jig*

This makes me so happy! I cannot wait to get my shirt. Thank you! *runs out to watch for the mailperson*
Glee. :)
I have worn mine with great pleasure (as have my nieces) and am excited that there will be another run because my cousin totally needs one!
Rock on.

Do you want to know here or at the merchant address?
If you do not have a shirt, let the merchant address know, since that's where it's safe to discuss your address, etc. If you have the wrong shirt, let me know here, and we'll start the investigation.

According to all reports, the shirt has arrived at my mailing addy. I will go get it into my hot little hands in another couple of days, likely Monday night, based on my schedule. Further data to follow then.
Hooray!

I've had mine for a few days ish, and it is most lovely, and was like an awesome present to myself coming out of the blue.
Wonderful.
I hope you are feeling better! Did you want to hold mine back so I can come get it? You free any evening next week? (since you will be back!) Did you get my card? <3!!
1) I got your card, 2) I'm going to Seattle, and 3) it was easier to just mail them all. Let me know if you don't get it.
