sorry I lost sight a bit of this thread. Have you printed the shirts already? I ordered one and would love to pick it up/pay for it some time soon. Is anyone bringing them down to Polo on sundays?

Perhaps it would be worth watermarking the locally-hosted images so they're less likely to be half-inched?

70% of the first batch of 129 orders have been packed.

The ones that haven't are the ones for which I have cotton mediums but not bamboo.

I still have to weigh some, buy postage, stick postage on and then have Royal Mail collect them all.

So the ones I've packed will be dispatched towards the end of this week hopefully.

The ones I haven't packed I'll email asking what you want to do.

I'll send emails to everyone who has paid so far, saying either that your order is shipped, or giving you the choice of cotton or waiting for bamboo. These emails will be sent towards the end of this week/beginning of next week once the packed ones have actually been dispatched.

Cool, eh?

My whole front room is now full of padded envelopes and boxes. Cannot move.

On the plus side... the paypal money hit my bank account and the massive pre-payment I slapped on the credit card is now paid off. I've got some profit already, but don't know how much as I've yet to purchase all of the postage and do the maths on what has all been completed.

You should be able to click the pay link at the top of the page if you ordered any shirts... if the page shows an order to purchase you have yet to pay... if the page shows that there is nothing to pay then either you didn't place an order or you're one of the 129 in the first batch and can expect an email at the end of this week.

nice one David.

by the way, if you haven't tried it, the built in postage label - royal mail thing takes alot of the pain out of it

I haven't posted them yet!

But I am walking around with almost £200 of stamps on me. I need to get me a sponge... I'm not licking all of these things!

Did look at using the printed postage things... but it requires you to enter the details of the destination addresses online. Which would require me manually cutting and pasting some lines out of loads of addresses, and I think it would take longer and be way more annoying than just putting stamps on. And if I'm wrong, please don't tell me as I've bought the stamps now.

I thought the packing would take longer that's all. What did the post office vendor say when you came in asking for £200 worth of stamps? Bet he/she was annoyed.

You could have saved all the hassle by doing this through spreadshirt. They would've handled the orders, sizes, postage and designs. Users could of asked for any colour, design and size through a web interface and had them delivered in 3 days. And you could have sat back and watched the cash roll in.

No complaints at all - and thats for getting the sorted, just maybe a thought for next time. I can't wait for mine to come through!

The shirts are all being collected Monday by Royal Mail... should be with you Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'll email you all tomorrow night and inform you whether yours are in that batch or awaiting bamboo.

The larger orders (3 or more shirts that I have) were sent yesterday, those people should get them this morning.

Just got mine to, fanfuckingtastic! Fits like a (XL) glove, great images, very happy. Many many thanks for all the logistical effort, I hope the forum costs are offset for a good while by your efforts. My missus was like "why would you want to wear that" about my What a cnut.

Was it in the last few days? If so I'm doing some envelope packing tonight and then starting the next batch. You'll get an email along with everyone else I suspect.

Everyone who has paid should have just been sent an email to the email address that you have on this site. If you haven't got an email... let me know.

89 Orders have been dispatched.
45 Orders are awaiting Bamboo shirts.

Bamboo is due at the suppliers around this weekend, and as they already have the artwork all done they're aiming to turn them around and get them to me for the middle of next week.

If you would like Cotton instead of Bamboo (i.e. you don't want to wait a week) then let me know via email; david at buro9 . com

Silence via email will equate to being cool with waiting for Bamboo.

You can. I'll re-open orders after the next batch is sent out next week. So it's a Yes, but you'll have to wait a little.

hey vb, seems i didn't get an email, and i'm sure i paid. however, i guess you might not have sent one as i already mentioned that i don't mind waiting for the bamboo medium - especially if it's only a week!
thanks again,

Just got mine thanks they look great.
cotton one is pretty good fit.
Bamboo body is a good fit and feels great but the neck is giant and low,
I have issues with t-shirts like this as I prefer a tight high nexk just a personal thing really.
Should be nice to ride in.
