AHHHHH
Would you kindly tell your international t-shirt orderers to climb the fuck outta my ass right now about getting their goddamn t-shirts? I don't have a teleporter in my apartment, we just got the shirts in less than a week ago, I've been staying up until 1am packing fucking shirts for the past five days, and shipping internationally takes a while.It's like, great, I'm happy you PRE-ORDERED your fucking shirt 23 days ago,
but we just got them 100 hours ago so you're gonna have to sit down and
wait, mother fuckers.This post was brought to you by the letters "F" and "U," and the number
"FUCK."-Jacqui :)
P.S. You don't actually have to tell them this unless you really want to,
but if you do, I recommend re-wording it. :P
For future reference:
- Never, ever count on me to reword something sent to me, especially when there's a chance I'd be more amused passing it on as-is.
- I love you, and I would never talk to you that way. Jacqui has a tendency, under high stress, to revert to the days before she was verbally housebroken. That was an expensive class, but you have to get them early.
If I were to reword this, I might say there most of the shirts are on their way (I know many of you have already gotten them). I appreciate that you pre-ordered, because it helped pay for some stuff around the talk and the site, and it let you get it in the color of your choice. It was important to me that international readers weren't excluded from getting them, because I'm aware of how many of you there are, but international can sometimes just take a little longer to get there. They're coming, and hey, you might be surprised at how cool the bonus decal/weather-proof sticker is.

A) You pre-ordered. That means you'll get it when it ships, not when you think it should ship.
B) International shipping takes longer. Deal.
Honestly.

Obviously not shipping alphabetically by first name in the US. No shirt, no service . . . no problem. (I still have the heat transfer one for sale at CafePress.com.)
The people associated with DB kill me. It's a pleasure to be counted amonst them.

Aaron, your first name in Paypal just so happens to be lower case and somehow got sorted in my list below all the people who uppercase their names ;)
That being said, we're shipping out the last of the Domestic pre-orders tomorrow morning (that means you Aaron) and we'll be carting the international ones to the PO at the beginning of next week!
Everyone should be getting emails from Paypal or, more recently, directly from us when we ship the shirts.

Oi. Some people. [shakes head] Rock on Jacqui!
I for one would like to applaud everyone at test tube tshirts for the speed of the deliveries. I got the paypal shipping notice on sunday night, it went in the mail monday and was on my door wednesday. Excellent service. Dunno if it helped that i also ordered another of their great shirts... which is incredibly popular at work. :)

If we'd just had cheap personal teleporters by now this wouldn't be a goddamned problem.
Someone get on that.

What? No personal delivery by air?? * bummer. ;)

All I have to say is Jacqui kicks ass, Clint kicks ass, and my wonderful currently-in-the-washer chocolate shirt kicks ass, apparently because I remembered to uppercase my last name. Thank heavens for happy accidents! ;-)
Seriously guys. Top notch product, great lead time etc. etc. Don't let the ass climbers get you down.

I'm the guy who sent an email to Test Tube T-Shirts. Forgive me for not giving my name or email.
Jacqui obviously misread as this is what I put, "when sending this extra $5 I asked for confirmation of the transaction which I have yet to received this after 23 days."
There is nothing complaining about the t-shirt not arriving. This is so depressing hearing you all bitching about me when I said nothing wrong.
I've been a big fan of db work for a long time but this has turned my feelings very sour. Please let this be the end of it.
:'(

Clint/Jacqui (& DB),
I really should have had a winky emoticon in my post. No one is more laid back than I. Unfortunatly, bad attemps at dry wit do not translate well in comments.
Let's all take a deep breath, hold hands, sing Kum-by-Ya, and complain about the Alder roundtable not being posted. ;-)

I don't think I got a confirmation of my extra postage payment either, but you know? I'm dealing with it. :)

Got mine yesterday; the green looks fantastic :)

according to the tracking information, mine was delivered on the 29th. either i failed to check my mail that day (very possible) or the put the package at my front door and not in my carport (also, very possible since i never use my front door). i'll check it out when i get home. looking forward to seeing what the chocolate tee looks like in person.
Priceless. Glad you didn't change a word.
