Robotz R hUmann!

Uh, so I forgot I even bought this (due to my busy weekend?) totally awesome woot! shirt. It goes along with the robot "theme" in my last post, haha. NICE>

Totally cute. Hopefully it won't take shipping notification emails for me to remember to update my blog in the future ;)

The teextile tee yesterday was cute. I picked it up...the thing that did it for me was the stars...and the fact that I didn't really like any of the other tees on teextile this week. It's called "Flying Robot". Raaawrrrr.

I'll give an update on the whole shipping fiasco with teextile. Saturday, I received the "To the Stars" tee...still no sign of "Cranberry Tree", though. Actually...while looking at this tracking information, I realized they emailed me two shipping notifications for the two "To the Stars" shirts I ordered. I ordered the shirts on Monday, March 23rd...teextile shipped them on Monday, April 13th...and I received them on Saturday, April 18th. Business day turn around = 19 days. At least shipping across the country didn't take too long....but I'm still waiting for the shipping information on the Cranberry Tree tee...by these calculations, I should receive notification of shipment for that on April 29th, haha.

That's all for now....the Woot shirt today was pretty cool but I don't really want to buy it.

Cranberry Trees and Shipping

So, this was purchased over a week ago and I'm just getting around to posting it on here. The placement of this design is what sold it for me. It's the Wednesday, April 8th design on teextile entitled "Cranberry Tree":

It seems like a metal band should use this for their shirts, haha.

Okay. Now...a little about shipping here. I purchased another shirt from teextile on March 23rd (see this post) and heard nothing from their shipping headquarters on the status of shipment. Five days after purchasing the Cranberry Tree design here, I received shipment notifications for BOTH shirts. That's a good 21 days after I ordered the "To the Stars" shirt. After reading community forums on teextile.com, I understand that they only print as many as ordered and obviously cannot print them until the end of the week, when all sales are over. That still doesn't justify shipping something out to me three weeks after I ordered it. Also note: that both shipments still only say that "electronic shipping information has been reveived" so god knows if they actually left their shipping facility. They are also on the completely opposite side of the country to make matters worse. Not sure if I'll ever see these shirts, honestly.

With Woot shirts, I generally don't expect to get them quickly, but they are always dilligent with the shipment notification emails and have even shipped another shirt to me (that was a Christmas gift for my brother) overnight when I told them I didn't receive it yet and it had been a month (I also sent them the totally crazy tracking information which sent it from Texas to New Jersey then back to Texas and eventually where it should have gone....a week after I got the replacement). TeeFury's a little on the slow side as well...but you pay $2 for that and at least they let you know when it ships. I'm kind of disappointed in this whole teextile shipment procedure. Not cool. I'll let everyone know when I finally get these shirts!

Music and Unicorns!

I meant to post this yesterday, but found myself desperately trying to find a doctor to cure my 2-week long sickness (that is a vicious sinus infection now). Unfortunately, in Boston...that's impossible. I ended up getting it taken care of, but it was quite the pain in the ass.

Anyway, I was pretty excited to see what would come out of shirt.woot's "Music" derby, as music pretty much is my life. The first place winner was a gorgeous shirt. The other two winners...not really my style...but pretty cool, none-the-less. What made me exceptionally angry about this one, however, is that I was up pretty early to go to work by 8. I knew I wanted it, but didn't have a chance to look at the site again until 10am. SOLD OUT. Balls. This is one I needed to spend the 15 bones on, though...so I picked it up yesterday.

Also: this weekend...I saw something AMAZING. After trying to find the extremely well hidden JoAnne Fabrics in East Walpole, something magical appeared. I was cruising the store trying to find some thread so I could work on some sewing projects and I see this:

Wtf!?? A home-made totally freekin' sweet unicorn tee. I wanted it really bad but it was large and obviously a display of "this is how you use a t-shirt and some paint to make something awesome". It was worth the trip just to see that, honestly.
