Thanks, again, for this update. I have to admit to anxiety over the fourth shirt in my order, which didn't arrive with the other three, near the beginning of your mailing. I had even reminded myself just the night before you posted this that there was no reason to enquire whilst you were out of town, and that I probably ought wait until you said you were *done* mailing things before I asked. I hope you're having a good time, and am sorry that people's need to bug you about this has made it less than fun for *you*.
Didn't arrive as in "it was not in the envelope"? Did you receive an email from me saying that your fourth shirt was one of the ones that was not included in our original delivery? Depending on what you ordered, we may have had to split you into two envelopes, and there is literally no way of keeping those together, but if I sent you that email, then we're still waiting on the printer.
We're never doing this again. Ever. The combination of the volume + people being shitty to my merch staff has killed my enthusiasm (which is almost certainly slowing down mailing, and causing more shittiness, for which I am genuinely sorry), and there will be no more bespoke shirts. Any future runs will be set colors/sizes, and people will be left out, and it will suck, but this is the choice the community made.
Okay, having re-checked my email to make sure, no, there was not an email about the shirt being missing. The original order was four shirts, three of which arrived to noises of delight! The fourth one, a 3x plum Wicked Girls shirt, was not in the package, but circled on the paper slip tucked in with the others.
I have had personally odd luck with wicked girls shirts, so I just assumed something was going on. I will be content to wait until *everything* has shipped to worry too much. Have a good con!
