DIS Unplugged Shirts for GKTW

[dis2cruise]

They do seem to run a little snug, so if you want a looser fit, I'd go with medium.

thanks I am going to order 2 tonight one for me and one for my dh and will wear it for the podcast cruise!!!

We are planning on buying 3 shirts and sending an additional donation. Is this tax deductible?

I ordered mine today check is in the mail!!!

Sorry, been a little busy lately but I want to address some of the questions raised.

1. If you are concerned about the fit I would buy a larger size just to be safe. They're not supposed to shrink but why take a chance.

2. For now Dreams Unlimited Travel is paying the shipping costs (as well as all administrative costs). Every penny you pay towards the purchase of the shirts goes to Give Kids the World. This includes shipments outside of the U.S. - Dreams Unlimited Travel is paying the additional costs for shipping the shirts no matter the destination.

3. If we are shipping to a non-U.S. address the post office requires we fill out and attach a customs form. I do not beleive anyone is required to pay duty on the shirts based on the way we ship them.

4. The donation is tax deductible. Dreams Unlimited Travel will not be issueing any receipts or documents stating this. We suggest you write in the memo line of the check what the check is for and include that is a donation to Give Kids the World. Once you receive your cancelled check keep that for your tax records.

If you want to add more for an extra donation that is terrific. Several people have done so already and this helps to boost the donation numbers. Our numbers reflect the actual dollar amounts received so anything extra you send will appear in our grand total chart.

5. I know that many folks can only pay via paypal or credit card. I'm sorry but at this time we can only accept checks. It goes beyond the fee involved for processing. It has to do with the accounting as well. Since this is for a charity the amounts collected and paid to the charity must be clearly documented. With the checks it is simple - the money coming in is the money that goes out. If we involve a service that imposes a fee, or a seperate account (like paypal) then the accounting becomes a nightmare.

I am sorry that some of you are disapppointed by this but I hope you understand that the work involved with this is in addition to everything else we do so we need to keep it simple for now.

We are looking into ways to make this work for those who can't pay by check but for now it is by check only.

6. We have not decided if we will be able to arrange for some shirts to be picked up either before, during or after the podcast cruise. We have sold a great many shirts and we hope to be sold out before then. If this changes and we can arrange to have them available for pick-up for the cruise we will make an annoucement as such.

7. With Julie on maternity leave I am the one taking care of the fullfillment of the shirt orders. I am doing my best to get the shirts out as soon as the checks are received (we don't even wait for them to clear the bank) but of course there can be a delay. Please don't panic if your shirts don't come right away - keep in mind that we have to get the orders, process them in our system, package up the shirts and get them to the post-office to mail. Add to that the time it takes to ship and it could be several weeks to receive your order.

8. IMPORTANT: Please make sure you include your printed order page with your check. This makes it a whole lot easier to process the orders and get the shirts out to you. The page should include the size shirt(s) you ordered as well. Please do not include seperate notes. We appreciate your support and kind words but having just the order form and the check makes it easier for us to get the shirts out to you as quickly as possible.

I think I covered everything in this thread................

John, Totally understand about not using Paypal or credit card. As convenient as it would be, the accounting and the fees associated make it problematic.

I plan to get my order in tomorrow.

Thanks John - I appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing esp. with poor Kevin and Julie and Corey being new parents

I think the best way for us to get shirts would be to have someone who is going on the cruise order them for us and we'll send to money to them. Then pick up the shirts when we get to WDW in May.

I know this is a big favour but if anyone reading wouldn't mind helping us could you please send a PM I so want to support the cause and it would be amazing if someone wouldn't mind (what with space for FE stuff and pirate clothing )

They will ship to the UK as long as you send a $$$$ cheque. I am calling at my bank to order one

We had to send money to the States when we got married in 2007 and the cheque cost £25

Chirurgeon has kindly offered to get the shirts for us and we'll pick them up when we go in May and I'll get her a book from Waterstones - fair exchange.

Hope you get a good offer for a cheque, it seems a real shame to have to pay so much just to get a cheque I'd rather give the money to GKTW.

Well, according to my bank, Dollar cheques don't exist in the UK. Can you accept GBP cheques, since thats all I've got access to, otherwise, I have no way of getting a shirt.

How small is small? Correct me if I'm wrong, but kids sizes aren't available, are they? I'd like to get all of us shirts for our trip in October, but I think they may be too big for my boys (currently in sizes 5T and boys 8).

I just ordered another GKTW T-shirt for my wife Kim. Now we'll match on the podcast cruise!

Hi, Rob here in the Uk also interested in the shirts. We are over at WDW in May, can I buy one whilst on site somehow?
