I ordered a test copy last night that should be here the end of next week. Once I've looked that over I'll be placing the main order. I'll be having the whole batch shipped to me and then I will repackage and ship them out to individuals to keep the total cost down. For overseas orders, they will ship directly from the place that prints the calendars, it's actually cheaper for me to pay their added direct shipping than to reship abroad. There is no added cost for overseas orders, I'll cover the extra.
The price this year will be $21 which is $1 more than last year but I would like to give a free copy to the people that contributed (other than me) and the extra buck will help make that possible ......so in away I guess everyone that orders will be helping give the contributors a copy
.
Thanks to the everyone that contributed and it's never too early to start thinking about 2010 (thanks to Bill C, I already have one month filled in 2010) so if anyone else was interested in having their reel featured, but missed out, feel free to submit for next year !
ORDERING DIRECTIONS.....PLEASE POST A REPLY IN THIS THREAD WITH HOW MANY COPIES YOU WANT TO ORDER.......AND ALSO SEND ME A PM MESSAGE WITH YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS. DO NOT PAY YET.....PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I GET THE ORDER IN HAND.....THANKS !
NOTE: MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY EMAILED OR SENT A PM TO ME ABOUT PRE-ORDERS.....IF YOU HAVE DONE THAT PLEASE ALSO POST IN THIS THREAD SO I CAN KEEP THINGS STRAIGHT.
Thanks Again !
