I’ve received emails, comments and messages from quite a few of you who ordered one of the Alabama Tornado Relief Shirts inquiring to the status of your order. While I feel that I’ve kept you up-to-date to the best of my abilities on their status, I admit that I probably should have noted in my original post that these shirts were made-to-order; I had none in-stock when I originally posted about them — I simply wanted to do something that would help my home-state recover from the disaster caused by the storms that ripped through it last month, and t-shirts seemed like the best way to do so.
I also didn’t know if I would receive one single order, or hundreds, so I waited a week or so into the process before placing my first order with the screen-printers, and because of various delays, I wasn’t able to get my hands on them until yesterday (and I drove several hours round-trip, rather than having the shipped to me, just to get them that much sooner.)
In any case, all of the shirts ordered thus far were sent out today and you should have them by the end of this week, unless you’re international. Hindsight being 20/20, I wish I’d placed a “Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery,” disclaimer on the original post. I realize that in this day-and-age, we are conditioned by Amazon and all of the other large retailers to have something appear on our door-step one or two days after we’ve ordered them. Unfortunately, I’m not Amazon.
If you are unhappy with the time it took to get your t-shirt, feel free to ship it back to me (return address is on the envelope) and I will issue a refund to you, I just hope that I’ll be able to resell the shirt to recoup the loss of money that would have gone to relief-aid. And if you do want a refund, I hope you don’t forget that this was all in the spirit of charity, and that you find some other way to help those people whose only possession left might be the shirt on their back.
Also, I will only be selling the quantity of shirts that I have remaining from here on out. I have several sizes and colors of each design, so if you’d still like one, please shoot me an email – southerngamer (at) gmail.com and I’ll get it out to you.
Thanks again to everyone that ordered. I deeply appreciate the gesture and hope that the proceeds find those in need of it most. And, I hope you like your t-shirt! If you want to show it off, send me pictures (to the email listed above) and I’ll post them on the site!
If you logged into Steam in the last few days, you likely saw this ad, in which they poke a little fun at the asteroid ’2005 YU55,’ which passed inside the orbit of the moon on November 8th.
