However there were 2 extras from the first order. I don't recall what size they were.
I THINK yours might be covered and available for immediate shipping.

I can double check tonight I think.

I did the same thing for patches and posters; fronting the cash and hoping my costs would be covered in a reasonable time. So far I'm still underwater on patches, and the posters are at break even - maybe. Troy has a bunch of patches now so please order one or two if you have a shirt on order so he can ship together. Everyone who has ordered a patch (or two) should have them by now. The sooner I'm in the black the sooner WKC can benefit from the "profits". Consider the patches as "limited editions" now, it's unlikely I'll order another batch in the same colors again, and I may have to resort to pre-orders before I front the cash again. FYI - I've given a few away to deserving souls on behalf of the club.

As I'm sure Troy can attest, there's a lot that goes into these side-projects, and plenty of ways we could have done them on the cheap. I hope you would agree that's not our style. We are WKC!

However that may take a while, as I'm literally in the process of packing up all my shit and moving across the country.

That's a really big deal Troy! I hope the move goes smoothly for all of you. Here's a little traveling music.

"It sucks. It was handled poorly"

I disagree....it was handled the best way it could be under the current circumstances.....

It's not easy getting something like that up & running, plus the mass-hysteria that the mere possibilty of T-shirts, etc. produced............
The only other way, besides what was mentioned, is what a buddy of mine was able to do by knowing a screen printer well enough.....that was to work with the printer in that he would wait to get paid until the amount a shirts were sold that covered his cost......special circumstance that would not work with any ordinary commercial printer...... :o
He still had to shell out for the T-shirt blanks & wait on that part to get paid back.....

I was lucky on the shirts. A business partner of mine also runs a screenprinting shop, so i got a pretty nice discount.
It certainly wasn't as cheap as I could have gotten - but I really prefer high quality shirts and high quality printing. (and the WKC shirts are fantastic)

Sounds good buddy! Take care of your packing first and then get back to me after. No hurry, I know you'll send it.
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

Thanks for the update, Troy!
I like my ribs low 'n' slow, so I have no problem waiting for the T.
Hope your move goes well.  :D

The shirt is nicer than I thought it would be. This isn't one of those give away shirts they shoot out of a cannon at your local sports arena. It fits well and didn't shrink two sizes after washing. The printing is awesome bc it's wkc of course

Troy thanks for handling the whole process. I would've done what u did.

... It was handled poorly. I don't want to do it that way, but right now I don't have a lot of options.
...
Since I don't want my wife to murder me, I opted for the slower method.
IMO that was the only reasonable strategy at this point. If you ever build up a cash reserve, you could take orders for more shirts and perhaps stock a few. Much of the work is already done so I presume it would simply be a reorder.

Thanks for putting the effort in to make this happen and following through with it.
kettles, smokers...
