Technical Difficulty

The ordering process got a bit messed up with the company. I rewrote the whole list of buyers for them so for the few who haven't recieved an invoice and are within the U.S. or Canada, expect one soon. I'll post when I have the final invoices out. I am still waiting on about 8 anons to send money payments from earlier invoices.

To everybody who has completed the transaction, expect your mugs to ship within the coming weeks. Communication takes time with this company and I am hoping they finish the last of the invoices by tomorrow so I can send them out over the weekend.

Fast Payments

So far 2/3 of the orders have been filled. This was a bit faster than I expected. I did take some additional last minute orders over the weekend and will have those invoices out when the company makes them.  There also was some confusion where I missed orders and I went back to double check all the emails. I don't think there are any issues now BUT EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD AN INVOICE SENT TO YOU IF YOU ARE WITHIN THE U.S. AND CANADA. I cannot stress that last part enough. Outside those areas I will have to handle shipping myself.

So if you have any doubt, feel free to email me. Double check, triple check to make sure I didn't mess up. I'd rather get an email before it is too late and don't want to accidentally exclude somebody.

Invoices Sent

Just finished sending out all the invoices for U.S. and Canada buyers. Outside U.S. and Canada buyers will have to wait a bit longer. I'm going to wait until the invoices are all paid then have the company send out all the orders.  From there I'll personally handle the international orders.

So pay the invoices ASAP and we can have everything finished up. IF YOU DID NOT GET AN INVOICE AND ARE IN THE U.S. or CANADA, EMAIL ME!
I cannot stress that enough. Check your spam box, check any alternate email you may have given me, and if not there then email me and let me know. I may have missed you or entered an email wrong. I'm already getting payments in which is great to see since I'm excited to have this all finished.

Delays

The semester is mostly over for me now. That means I can focus on getting these invoices out. Expect them to be done within a week if not sooner. Sorry that I haven't gotten it done yet but I really needed to get finals out of the way and now my time is mostly free.

Invoice Request

It has been a long and busy week. I just sent a request to the glass company for details on everybody's orders and will wait for a reply. The invoices are taking longer than expected but I have a solid list hammered out now in the least.

Ordering End

At this time I am going to end the ordering process. I have 78 orders at the moment and am waiting on final emails. This is going to be very expensive for me to do so I plan on sending invoices and gathering some money first. It will give people a last chance too. Now for the long and laborious process of sending everybody an invoice and ordering the mugs. This too will take some time largely because of my horrible lack of foresight. I forgot just how busy the end of the semester can get and as such I'll be working slowly but steadily towards getting these mugs done and shipped out.

Likely within a week the invoices will be sent out and I'll have the mugs commissioned. How long it takes to have them made I have no idea but I will make sure to post about that when I find out. Thanks for all your patience during this process too. I've never handled something like this before or organized such a large transaction before but Murphy's Law has not been hitting me too hard which I am thankful for.

The Final Stretch

So I have emailed everybody who hasn't replied yet during the ordering phase. If you are one of those people and are reading this, check your spam folders and send me an email. At this rate I will close the ordering period within the next two weeks and start taking money orders through paypal/have the mugs made.

This is getting to crunch time. Right now with only about 1/2 the potential orders filled (lack of responses from interested parties) I still have 45 orders in total. If I get a final surge of emails I might be able to drop the price even lower. It has been a few weeks since I spoke to the glass designers but if I remember right, 9.21USD was the price per mug with an order under 40. If that is the case then the price should be even lower but don't hold me to that.

It has been a hell of a project to work on and organize but it has been going well. If you have any major questions feel free to email me and in the meantime keep checking the blog for updates.
