SPARROW HILL ROAD shirt inquries.

We've talked about Unicorn Empire and how awesome their stuff is. Now let's talk about why it may be relevant to you.

Here is the design I commissioned from Amber for Sparrow Hill Road. A very limited number of shirts were printed, for conventions I was attending. Some people have asked me what they'd have to do to get one. I've spoken to Amber about whether she'd be willing to do a small run, and she's agreed, as long as there's enough interest.

So this is me, checking interest. Note that if we were to move forward with this, all ordering and fulfillment would be done by Unicorn Empire; no waiting for me to go to the post office or fear of cats in boxes. I would also not be the one handling the money. It will go through her store, as with a normal order. This makes me very happy.

And now...the poll. If your answers are conditional, "IE, I will only order if it's not pink" or whatever, please indicate in the comments.

That would be a question for Amber, not me; it's not my store, and having mailed things to the UK and Ireland before, I know that the cost of postage, awful as it is, is a reflection of what it costs her, rather than being arbitrary price gouging. :(

I agree that it is an accurate reflection of the cost, if I thought it was not I would have it mailed to family and re-mailed. If anything the price seems to be as low as possible, and I would not have been surprised if it was higher.

I only comment, as it is what makes my response to the survey conditional, and apologies for not making that clearer. I want the shirt (the design looks amazing) but I would like to order other shirts, so that I can give Amber more money without it going to the USPS...

Ah-ha!

What I would do is wait for the pre-order to go live (assuming she and I both agree that there's sufficient interest to do one, which I think there is), and then send her a message via Etsy.

Follow-up: Amber says that she does combine postage on international orders. So I would hold off ordering whatever else you want until the pre-order goes live.

Thank you very much for following up on that for me.

I will hold off, and pick up what I am looking at if the pre-order happens.
