[WDWFAN9]

I need one of these too! Thanks Carrie for all your work on behalf of the WISH team!

[jeanneg]

Just submitted my order.......Thanks, Carrie, for organizing this!

[wtpclc]

Thanks everyone! Just so you know I am getting the orders.

So far I have orders from the following:

jeanneeg
surfermickey
WDWFan9
grstink
nym

After all orders are in, I will e-mail you an invoice and you will have 2 weeks to pay.

[surfermickey]

Thanks!!! Do you know about when we will get the shirts??? I want to wear mine for the Disney races in the fall and the things I do locally.

[wtpclc]

Brandie- It will take 4 to 6 weeks once I put the order in. Probably looking at mid to late October. I'll do what I can to get them out ASAP, though.

[jeanneg]

Yes! Hoping for a bright brand new shirt to wear when I do the NYC marathon! Unfortunately it will the only one on the course.....:sad1:

[Kirsty-Leigh]

OK I might be on the slow bus here but what is the difference between the alert shirts and the race ready shirts, and which should I buy for a comfortable racing experience? :)

Thanks Kirsty

Thanks Kirsty

The alert shirt is made with a heavier wicking material and runs long. The RR shirts are a much lighter wicking material and the sizing runs small. I have some of each.

Thanks Kirsty

The styles and available sizes vary too. RR has smaller sizes avaiable and AS has larger sizes. You'll want to check out both to see what seems to fit you best.

Thought I'd include the pic from last year.
Thanks for doing the order again Carrie!

[Kirsty-Leigh]

well I guess I am just going to have to get one of each then :rotfl2:

[WDWFAN9]

Sounds like a plan!! Especially if you want to wear one for the half and the other for the full.

[grstink]

Yes! Hoping for a bright brand new shirt to wear when I do the NYC marathon! Unfortunately it will the only one on the course.....:sad1:
Daughter and I are hoping to go and cheer the runners on. I have ordered my WISH shirt and will be there for you on the sidelines. :yay:
I will be wearing mine to the Princess Half.
Thanks Carrie for handling the orders.

Thank-you, thank-you! I will need all the support I can get. Just tell me where you plan to be and I will eagerly look for you. Now back to our regularly scheduled thread........(Sorry, Carrie!)

[syko]

What happend to the shirts with the castle in the background????

[wtpclc]

What happend to the shirts with the castle in the background????

There were a lot of issues with that vendor. I think only the one order was put in (before 2008 Minnie).

[treehugnmama]

what sizes are available. When you say they run big are they one size larger? What is the price? Do they come in a vneck by any chance?

[Hockeychic]

Carrie, sorry I must have missed it somewhere. What are the prices?

Did I order from you before a few years ago? I want the same style shirt but did time to get new ones. Wasn't sure if it was you or Carrie that has the shirts I am looking for.

Thanks a bunch

Kim

[wtpclc]

All prices and styles are shown on teh ordering website (link in my first post). No V-necks, though.

Sizes are unisex. So, order 1 size amaller than you would in a women's size.

Kim - I have no idea. Your avatar comes up too small for me to tell. The Alertshirts aer more yellow adn teh RaceReady aer more green. If you gave me a biggerpic, I could tell.

[wtpclc]

Unfortunately, I have not received eanough orders to meet AS's minimums.

I sen tout an e-mail to all who ordered, but want ot post here too.

You have 2 choices. You can order a Race Ready shirt from Chimera
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2251953 or I can advertise that we are holding the order and will order as soon as we meet the minimums.

Chimera has stated that she can get long-sleeved shirts made if she gets enough interest.

Please let me know which way you plan to go as soon as possible. I will let Mel know if more are coming and she should hold up on her order. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks!
Carrie

[Jen117]

Carrie - I won't be ordering this year, however I do need new shirts as mine are pretty worn out. Remind me... is the next order in February/March? I want to shoot for my first post PG race for the end of May... but still eying up those sweatshirts! Thanks!

[wtpclc]

We just barley made minimum last year ann did not do one in the spring. So, I doubt we'll have another order before next summer/fall. I used to do one pre-Minnie, but Princess was just too early to hit one before that, so we skipped it.

[treehugnmama]

you can count me in for one if you are still ordering should I go to the ordering website or is it on hold?

[wtpclc]

The website is still open. That's easiest.

We are very close, so I shoudl eb able to order soon. WIll let you knwo when it closes.

[Cinderella Girl]

Got it Molly! You're all set!

[jeanneg]

Carrie,

Let me know when you get close.....I can order a few extras to get you where you need to be.

[wtpclc]

Carrie,

Let me know when you get close.....I can order a few extras to get you where you need to be.

I am within 2 now. If you relaly wnat teh extra's go for it. If not, I'm just going to order a couple extras. It never fails that a few people want shirts as we get closer.

[wtpclc]

Last Call! Will be putting closing things out tonight and start sending out invoices.

[jeanneg]

Do you need me to order more? What do I have right now......3?

[wtpclc]

Jeanne - You have 3 right now. I don't want to pressure you into another one but that would be 1 less extra I'd buy. Up to you. If you are set until next year, no need. (I know, I'm a high pressure sales person. lol)

[jeanneg]

If i have 3 already, I don't really need it, but you can add one more sleeveless shirt (XL) to the package if it helps you. I really need the new shirts and will do what I have to in order to get them.

Invoices are out. Please let me know fif you did not receive on or there is an error.

[dsnyfan21]

Hi Carrie,

Just got back in town and paid my bill!! Yay!!

Take care,
Tracy

[FLORIDA_GIRL]

Carrie,

Let me know if I'm too late on the order...I just submitted the form for a t-shirt...I figured it would be nice to have just a plain t-shirt to wear for cheering on WISHers during the half.

[sasmmb]

Is it too late to order?

[wtpclc]

Is it too late to order?

I am still waiting for 2 payments before I can order. if you go to the site and send in your payment, I will PayPal you ASAP. I need your payment in ASAP (before the other paymetns come in)

nym and surfermickey - I still need your payments. Please ocntact me if you did not receive and invoice and reminders.

[sasmmb]

Thanks so much wtpclc! Placed order through website.

[deekaypee]

Carrie, what's the status of the Alert shirts? I assume you placed an order. (I don't need to order any, but we may have new members, post-DL 1/2, who are curious. :goodvibes) And in case I don't say this enough, you rock! :worship:

Actually, they are goign in this weekend. The 2 who have not paid, put us below minimums. Luckliy, the last minute orders have made up for it. If they can get their order in tonight and pay over the weekend, I can get it in.

[funwalker]

I got lots of compliments & question about my WISH shirt this weekend at Detroit.

A couple of ladies asked if I had extras they could buy!

[dsnyfan21]

Carrie...

Just curious, do you have an ETA for this order?

Tracy

[wtpclc]

Tracy - They are having issues with some shirt sizes adn we are trying to work that out now. Once that's fixed, they are next in line for printing so it should be no more than a week to get to me and a week to get them out. Never had this problem before. So sorry about the delay!

[dsnyfan21]

Carrie,

Not problem was just wandering as Mom bought a shirt for her friend and she was asking me.

Thanks!!!!!
Tracy

[solar]

bummer i just missed it! I guess I'll catch this next time around

[dsnyfan21]

Sorry to ask again...Any ETA on the order Carrie? Think we will get them before Christmas? :confused3

Thanks again,:thumbsup2:hug:
Tracy

[wtpclc]

I finally got a hold of my contact today. (He wasn't returning e-mails adn that was how we alway scorresponde) Anywqya, not good news. They changed a lot w/o letting me know. I am workign on optiosn, though and am verey close. WIll e-mail all with orders as soon as I have my options. Hopefull by Wed. My goal is to get someone with very quick turn.

My apologies to all of you. This has never happened before. :sad2:

[wtpclc]

I know I have already said this, but this is at least the 6th shirt order I have done with AlertShirt and I have never had any problems like this. All I can say is that I'm sorry.

Originally, they were out of sizes in the tanks. I e-mailed back asking about alternatives and if people decided not to order, if they would accept an order at less than their minimum. I got no response to that or to a follow-up e-mail. Between vacation and catching up, and not having a lot of time during working hours for personal phone alls at work, I was not able to call him until today. Normally, when we get to this stage, I can have the shirts in a week, so I did not panic right away.

During our phone conversation today, he noted that they now longer have shirts without pockets and they are working with a new company and many thing shave changed. WTH??????? This was a little late for this information. Basically, this marks the end of the AlertShirt era.

Now, Tracy (dsnyfan21) has a shirt from MakeAShirt.com that she kindly compared to AlertShirt for me. I have also worked with MakeAShirt for a tri shirt I had done. They were able to rush that through quickly and I am hoping that they thought of future work will inspire them to do the same.

My plan now is to e-mail MakeAShirt tonight and get a start on things. They can do everything without minimums, so you will have the option to cancel and get a refund if you'd like.

According to Tracy, the shirt she had made is shinier and silkier than AlertShirts, more like the Race Ready. The color is in between the 2. I also saw coolmax Ts and tanks on the site that were "safety yellow" that look very similar to the AlertShirts.

As for the non-tech shirts, if MakeAShirt can't get those shirts, I can get those unprinted from AlertShirt and have MakeAShirt print them. The coolmax shirts I saw were similarly priced to Alertest. If the style Tracy had are much more, I will let you know.

I just wanted to let you know More details. I hope to have final options tomorrow night. Thanks for bearing with me. I am so sorry that things have gone this way.

[wdwprncess77]

Hi Carrie -

If possible, can I get an order in when you find the new company? I promise to pay you within 24 hours.

Great update as I think there are a couple of people who thought they might have missed out on the shirts and would like to get in.

Thanks!!!

[Cinderrunner]

Are you still taking orders?

[mandac]

I would order a shirt if given the chance too!

[dsnyfan21]

Give Carrie a chance to get things figured out.
She probably needs to go through all the placed orders and she if she can find another vendor to do them and then figure out price changes and all that and I am sure that will take some time.
She'll get back to you guys soon and let you know if she is then going to place new orders.

-Tracy

[wtpclc]

Thanks Tracy! That's exactly where I stand.

Shirt person said she'd call me today. At this point, I don't know if I can make it work or not. With the short time frame and my holiday schedule, I don't know if I have it in me to take in new orders.

I can only take it one step at a time right now and the first step is to see what I can do for those who ordered long ago. I will post when I know on that and will know my next step then. Best I can do.

The new vendor is supposed to be calling me today to discuss. Hopefully, I will have more info tonight.

Thanks for understanding. :goodvibes

[wtpclc]

PS - I did not mean ot make anyone feel bad for asking. I'm sure I would have too if I was in your shoes. I will do what I can. :flower3:

[wtpclc]

Update: I spoke with MakeAShirt yesterday. She is really going ot do all she can to help. I should have final info today. Hopefully, will post tonight with details. If all works out, will be contacting those with orders already placed otnight. I'd like ot have final numbers in to go Monday. If that can happen, I should have them ot you before Christmas. Please keep your eyes open here and in your e-mails this weekend for final details.

New Orders: I hope to let you know if it's possible tonight. If it is, I will post details. However, I will need your order and payment by Sunday evening. Plus, I will likely only be online tonight, will try to check in Saturday night and then not agian until after 7 pm Sunday. So, PLEASE check in here. We're working on a very quick time frame.

[wdwprncess77]

Thanks Carrie!!! I'll be on the lookout for an update from you.

:surfweb:

[dsnyfan21]

THANKS CARRIE!!! for all you are doing for us and volunteering your time!:cool1:
-Tracy

[wtpclc]

I did not hear from MakeAShirt today. I can't imagine i'll hear from her thsi weekend :guilty: but I'll keep you posted.

[chimera]

Sorry about all the trouble with the shirts. Crazy that this would happen after all these years with no problems.

If there's anything I can do to help, let me know!

[wtpclc]

OK, we are close.

For those that odered already:

1. If you did not get an e-mail saying otherwise, your order is fine. (I cannot get tanks in L or XL and options for that were sent out via e-mail)

2. Costs were very close. Most were right on target, so we don't need to mess with this. All were less $1 off. If I tried to refund the overrage or collect the extra, it'd all be lost in PayPal fees. Hope that's OK.

3. I shoudl eb able to ship the shirts on 12/19. So, they shoudl arrive before Xmas. May eb close with holiday shipping, though. Please let em know fi that's a problem.

Thansk for your patience!

For those that want to add to the order:

I can't guarantee that I can add to teis order, but if you want to try, here's the scoop.

1. I must know by 8 pm tonight. (SHe actually said she needed confirmation this afternoon, but I am hoping, she will extend to fitrst thing tomorrow.)

2. Will send PayPal invoice tonight.

3. Will need payment by noon tomorrow.

4. Use http://www.ryaneast.net/wish2009.htm to order. Note: No wicking crew sweatshirts are available. Also, tanks are only availbale in Small and Medium and Sleeveless are only available in Large and XL.

5. Costs are not exact, but will be within $1 more or slightly less than posted.

My PM box is full and I don't have time to clean it out, so e-mail me at wtpclc@sbcglobal.net (wtpclc@sbcglobal.net) with questions. Won't be at the computer until about 8 pm tonight, though.

Thansk tons for your patience.

[wdwprncess77]

Thanks so much Carrie! I just put my order in.

Hopefully I'll be able to get in on the order without making too much more of a headache for you.

Again, much thanks!

Thanks again!!!
