CigarAsylum Tshirt and Cap GB UPDATE!!

md4958 · 05-10-2009, 12:15 PM

Fellas, it's time to talk about this GB.

We needed to sell at least 72 caps to reach the minimum order requirement to break even. Fred and I have agreed that the minimum is probably not going to be met, and we have canceled the cap portion of this GB.

Fred will refund payments received for all orders via PP. All PP fees will be waived and returned by PP to the buyer as well.

A new page will be provided to order just the t-shirt and you will have to re-order your t-shirts at the same pricing, sizes, etc. This means more work by you having to re-order, but it's the only way we can provide refunds and take advantage of PP's refund policy and save you/us PP fee's.

2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL, and Tall sizes are now available!!
The new T-shirt ordering page is here.

Thanks to all who have supported this group buy.

Moe and Fred

I agree, but apparently not enough people thought so.

Thanks to all those who ordered, our apologies for the inconvenience.

I don't understand a lot but I do understand that I just ordered 2 more shirts. Now I guess I got to start growing hair to take the place of the hats.

With PP transactions you have 30 days to refund $$ without having any fees charged.

To make Fred's life easier, we ask that you re-order. I believe Fred has already begun (perhaps completed) the process of refunding the hat customers money anyway.

How many hats are you short of meeting the requirement?

31 Short

And we would be barely breaking even at 72, actually, we would still have a $300 loss because of the upfront costs for the artwork.

Our benchmark for the Caps was 150, as the price dropped drastically.

The shirts on the other hand we had a couple back-up mfgrs in the mix that would still allow us to do a smaller quantity albeit at a higher price. But still do-able.

I need a price for 31 hats then

CA Caps

After speaking with Moe, we decided to offer the caps the old fashion way. This is no longer a fund raiser.

We must sell 72 caps.

Post how many caps you would buy below and DO NOT SEND ANY PAYMENTS UNTIL YOUR TOLD TO DO SO.

One cap, your choice of color & size and, we will also include the shipping for
$15.00 each

Here is the new Cap GB thread.

Kelly, I quoted you a price previously that was based upon selling 144 caps. (The next price break.) I can't honor that price now and this is the best price we can offer regardless of how many caps someone buys.

md4958 · 05-11-2009, 01:27 PM

post from Fred incoming shortly.

Don Fernando · 05-11-2009, 02:47 PM

You're a great guy Kelly.
