I know many of our overseas members have inquired about shipping, but I can only provide a ballpark figure based on the U.S. Postal Service website. I can estimate the size and weight of course, but beyond that it is pure guesswork. From what I can tell, shipping to Europe and Australia will run about $13 extra to send it via First Class mail. Of course, I can try to combine orders and ship for those who can easily get them around to each other. So when you order, please be sure to remind me if you are overseas so I can budget everything accordingly.
I hope to pick up the calendars in time for Christmas and usually ship them the same day or the next at the latest. If it is early enough in the day, I usually stuff the envelopes at the printers (They are nice enough to let me use their conference room table.) and go straight to the post office. What this means is that the sooner I receive payment the better, so I can have the envelope/box addressed and ready to go the minute I pick up the calendars.
This is important!
The spreadsheet I use to track everything is sorted by your OFC user name. Please be certain to include it in however you contact me so I can keep records straight. This is especially important if you communicate via email.
It goes without saying that if you are paying via snail mail, the sooner you send the check, the better.
(You would be amazed how often people forget that last part.) Over the years, people have made the occasional suggestion about the project. So this year, I decided to incorporate some of them. The calendar has a cleaner layout and larger "day grids" for those of us who like to mark them up. I also simplified the titles and eliminated much of the prose, as much of it was basically boiler-plate that most fo us already know. All that being said, I like the look overall, and always admire the variety of pictures all of you send in. So, not for the last time: "Thanks for all your help!" | ||

Joined: May 2006 Posts: 4221 Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | My December panic has struck a few days early this year. Although I don't have the total invoice yet, I estimate we have enough orders to pay for the printing, but we have a ways to go still to cover all the shipping. So at the risk of being a pest, I have to bump the thread and say, "Don't be bashful about ordering more calendars!" | ||

I just opened the invoice, and I was correct. The printing is covered, but we have a ways to go to cover all the shipping. Anyone else need some easy Christmas gifts? | ||
