Updates on prints?

shoutOut on 23/1/09 by IntegralApparel in peeps

Not to sound whiny, but any idea on prints for Aug, October and etc? I seen the post that new prints might come out in 1 week and will be move in front of others 2 get them out faster? Eeep, I sure hope that’s not happening. I just want an idea when I can:
A get my shirts that were promised since were picked as winners (honoring the contract)
B let others know the shirt is ready to only bring in more sales.

I have numerous people COMPLAIN that they wanted to buy said design, but doesn’t know how, or they bought the design and it hasn’t come for 5 months? Serious?

Right now it’s so much in limbo, I almost don’t want to sub here, cause it might come next year! I won in Aug, and still haven’t heard of anything except for wait until Nov, then wait until dec, then wait until Jan, we hell, January is almost gone, and I doubt the tees will be to me by Feb 1st, so if that is true, then winning in Aug and not getting my winning tee by until Feb or March is ridiculous!
I think it is only fair to let us know EXACTLY when the designs will be done and if not done by that time then we should be able to pull our designs and use them elsewhere.

I hate ranting, but I just feel like we aren’t getting any answers. I mean I even got a coupon code that I had no care to use cause who knows when the shirt will be sent.
Please answer these questions
/End rant :)

Hey Integral

Concealed Malice is about to be printed this week – so good news there. Ornamental and malicious bear soon thereafter. The t-shirts have been boxed and sent to the printer already.

The problems that have cropped up till now have been out of our hands – literally we have been bamboozled every step of the way by fabric manufacturers and printers locally – we have just recently found a printer who seems more reliable and we are focused on getting all t-shirts out by AROUND the 16th Feb so long as yet another schmuck doesn’t screw us again.

The real issue is that I TOTALLY understand how you feel and my stress levels are maxed out trying to get everything sorted.

The basic plan is to get everything out asap and get as the new winners are announced to push em out immediately.

The good news is that pretty much all the blanks are in stock and we are ready to rumble with printing as fast as the printer can work.

He has also bought new screens specially for us to speed things up and is doing the transfers as well for the inner neck to speed things up.

I know this is not much consolation, but know that we vale EVERY ONE of you out there who have been on, or contributed to springleap in ANY way.

Please hang with us a bit longer. We appreciate your input, and frustrations – they are our own.

So lets be safe to say that by Feb 16, the prints should be on their way to me, and if not, then I want any of my designs for Aug and Oct pulled so I can use those elsewhere.

guys – everything is on track now. the printers are printing 2 designs EVERY day. in 3 weeks time, EVERYTHING would have been caught up – old and new winning designs – and we wont’ have to answer 50 emails a day apologizing!

its been a big learning curve for us – we thought manufacturing would be a lot simpler than it has turned out to be – but we’re not on top of it.

and the new tshirts rolling off look AWESOME GREAT INCREDIBLE
