I was able to sort out all the orders today. Ron (TeaClipper), thanks so much for coming by to help put these packages together. [
] It certainly made my job easier.
<b>Here's the bad news (#1).</b> Apparently one of the boxes broke open in transit and there were some blanks missing. Not many, but still, that affected three orders: TeaClipper, kenwc & alamocdc. I spoke with Jimmy today and he will be replacing those blanks and I should receive them this week. TeaClipper is easy since he is local I will get him his blanks when the replacements come in. I heard back from alamocdc and I will hold Billy's order until I get the replacements. I am still waiting to hear back from kenwc.
<b>Bad news (#2).</b> I just missed the cutoff at the post office and won't be able get the packages in the mail until Monday [
]. My post office closes at 2:00pm on Saturday and I could not drop off parcels. Oh well, I tried.
<b>A funny thing happened...</b> Let me preface this by letting everyone know that I am a computer geek! I put together a really cool spreadsheet for this group buy with all sorts of cool linkings and formulas and such. Everything looked pretty good until I started sorting out the blanks and I realized that I was short a number of blanks in several colors. I quickly figured out that the blanks we were short were all the ones that I put in the order![B)] I had moved my order off to the side while all the other orders were coming in and when I inserted it into the top of the list, I did it outside of the formulas. Ouch! Fortunately, Jimmy at Woodpen Pro had pity on me and is accepting my order of blanks for the group buy price. It's only costing me a small shipping charge and a healthy serving of humble pie (my wife[8)] thought it was hilarious).
That's it for now. I will continue to post updates as they happen.
Take care,
