Feb 21 is a bad date from now on...

I am trying to get some things printed for the Triathlon.  What an incredible pain it is.

Tri suit - laid it out.  Feb 9, was told they were pretty sure there are XXL shirts in stock and I was to confirm if I wanted sized like that.  I said yes, need XXL on Feb 12.  Sent artwork.  Asked next steps, need to finalize order.  Told everything looks good.  Feb 21, whoops we do not have XXL

One set of shirts and caps - paid for rush order after sending in artwork to make sure it can be done.  Paid Feb 15.  Proofs of artwork look good.  Feb 21 told that most of the shirts are in stock, but not really in stock.  In warehouse, but not at place where printing is done.  So cannot get them, need to choose something else in order to meet deadline.

Other set of shirts, called Feb 14.  I was told it would take a week.  Told them I was emailing artwork right then.  Which I did.  Confirmed Pantone colors the next day.  Called Feb 16, was told to email someone else.  All weekend long got emails that my email to the second person could not be delivered.  Called Monday and spoke to the first person. Was told they never opened my email from the week before.  Worked out pricing and selection.  Then got email, Feb 21, that person was leaving town and should be able to print late next week.

ARRGHHHHH!!!!!

Printing is tough.

Triathlon training and cancer is easy.  😄
