To Whom It May Concern,

I am devastated that I could not place an order for one of the new Django 1.7 tees. Now that I am ready to go, the campaign has ended on the merchant website.

May I please place an order for one? I'd dearly like a memento of this milestone release. Pretty please? Size=small :)

Hi Sithu,

Unfortunately, we can't add orders once the campaign is closed - this is one of the features of TeeSpring as a fund raising method.

We *can* relaunch the campaign, but that campaign would be independent to the original. It would have its own sales target, its own closing date, and so on. 

The lowest we can set the sales target is 20 shirts. I know there are about 6 other orders out there from people who missed the deadline; if there's any other interest out there (speak up in a reply if you're interested), we might consider reopening the campaign for a week.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Hi Russell,

Thank you for the feedback. I'm hoping that others may show interest so that the campaign could be re-opened. I will be watching this closely :)

Kind regards,
Sithu

Hi Sithu,

Good news! It turns out you weren't the only person to have problems placing an order, so we've re-opened the campaign for one last run to make sure everyone who wants a shirt can get one. You can place your order here:


You have until the end of May.

Yours,

Hey Russell,

I placed an order for a small tee, but I see my card has not been debited in my bank statement? When do they get charged/ shipped?

Thanks,
Lloyd

Hi Lloyd,

The card won't be debited until the campaign completes, which was over the weekend; I'm guessing that means the bank wouldn't have processed anything until Monday, and as with all bank things, it might take a day or two to show up in statements.

The actual shirts should have gone into production on Monday as well, and generally ship within 2 weeks. US deliveries take 7-14 days from end of campaign; international take 14-21 days.

Yours,

Hi Russell,

Thanks for the feedback. I still do not see anything processed on the card - am getting a bit worried here. Is there some way I could find out what happened to my order?

Kind regards,
Lloyd

Hi Lloyd; 

The emails you've received from Teespring give all the details, including a link that should let you track progress of your order. I don't have access to any info beyond that.

However, personally, I wouldn't take absence of a bank record to be evidence of anything. Interbank currency arbitrage is a mess :-)

Hi Russell,

Emails from Teespring? I cannot seem to find any - not even in my trash?? :( You are right though, the currency arbitrage at most banks is shocking - and the fees are not insignificant.

I am not sure what went on here and I am really jittery because I badly want a 1.7 tee. This is a milestone release and I want to keep  a memento. I actually wanted to go back and buy a second, which is when I realised I knew nothing of the first transaction. If nothign happens i will just ask the mailing list if anyone has a small tee they want to let go off.

Again, thanks for your help (and patience).

Kind regards,
Lloyd

Hi Lloyd,

You should have got an email when you placed your order, and another when the campaign completed (i.e., last Sunday). If you didn't get either of those emails, then I don't know what's happened with your order - you might want to contact TeeSpring support.

Yours,

Hi Russell,

I hope you are well. As it turned out, my order was never received (I never got the confirmation emails in question). Is there the slightest possibility that you could start a *final* TeeSpring campaign for the final release of 1.7? I see that RC1 is out.

Any concession would be hugely appreciated.

Kind regards,
Lloyd
