Which forum members want calendars and how many? Send PM or post here as soon as you can. Due to the limitations placed on us buy FoMoCo, we have to batch order and have them sent to one person who then has to turn around and get them to you. Antonio has spent a lot of time on this and I offered to give him a break which started with submitting the brand use request to FoMoCo. In other words, the permission was given to me so I have to batch order and mail them out.
I may not be available next month so don't wait to let me know how many you want.Calendar $20
Shipping in CONUS $5
Shipping to Canada & Mexico - never shipped to there so I can't project a number right now. You all probably already have an idea so it shouldn't be much different than that.
The rest of the logistics (addresses, payment and other details) will be handled through PMs.
Please keep the replies simple answering the two questions above. I don't want this thread cluttered with a lot of discussion that should be posted in the other calendar thread.
please clean pm's
Karl , Are the new Calendars going to have the Logos back on there or same as other Copies. Just asking that's all?
We got approval to print the non-logo versions as seen in this post:

sales@aerobirdmotorsports.com
THANK YOU!
Pm sent
I'll take one
I will take one.
PM sent.
I'll take one.
Thanks for the quick responses. I will PM each person regarding payment and shipping. I will be asking for money soon but I want to wait until my order makes it through first.
My order amount will be based on the replies in this thread and the private messages I have received.
And since I need to get these ordered as soon as possible, I need to know who wants calendars as soon as possible.
me too
I want one as well.
By the way carl, your cat looks great when it pops up on the banner.:D
I want one! Just one.
you have a pm. :D
i'll take 3....
i'll take one
i want one, but money's tight now. :/ how soon is soon?
I need one
wanting to buy a calendar but need some details on how to pay for it.
Put me down for one! Thanks!
I need to get the replies lined up now so once I feel confident CafePress will let me order a batch of calendars, I will PM everyone letting them know where and how to send payment. I don't want anyone paying yet in case I run in to more problems.
What I need now are who wants them and how many. I wanted to have as much time as possible for people to reply and/or send pms with their request for calendars. For those that sent Pms, I got them. I'm just listing all the orders so when the coast seems clear, I will immediately PM everyone with payment and that sort of thing.
I will probably be sending the money requests out within a week, or by next Friday.
I've received about 30 requests so I will be ordering the batch soon. PMs will be sent regarding payment methods.

ill take one
Hey I would like one Too !
i have to have one because it has my car in it
The order has been placed. I had to spend over $500 so I will be sending private messages to everyone tomorrow evening with an address for you to mail payment. I want to allow for time in case CafePress stops my order for some reason. If they haven't stopped it by tomorrow evening, then they probably won't stop it at all and I can ask for money.
dont forget me can i have one pm sent
Ok, send me a private message with your mailing address.
Ok, I think I sent private messages to everyone who wants a calendar. If you want a calendar and haven't seen a pm from me, let me know.
The latest pm has the address where you can send payment. I sent them out in batches of five so they weren't tailored to any particular member.
There's about 27 or so members who want calendars and I don't have Excel or Word so I'm trying to keep this all straight in a notepad document.
hey do I get a discount since my month will be over by the time they arrive? LOL
Can I get one or is that it?
I need help. I have all the large stores near me, office max, staples, walmart, target. I've searched web sites but can't find anything yet.
I need to buy about 30 rigid mailers that can hold the 11x17 calendar so the mailer should probably be a minimum of 12x18. Most of these things come in packs of 25, 30, 50 etc. I only need about 30 and the cost can't be more than a few dollars per mailer - basically no more than $75 for the whole pack.
Any ideas or links to products are appreciated.
Please no posts that don't contribute, like "that sucks" or "I have a store here, too bad they aren't in Maryland" and things like that.
The reason I've been requesting tight control on posts is because I have to go through these posts to be sure I have accounted for everyone that wants a calendar and too much other conversation makes it difficult.
BUT, if anyone has a good idea on making my own mailer or a link to a particular product offered for sale in a store, let me know in this thread so others can see in case they were thinking the same thing.
This place has a bit of variety.

I'll search eBay for something cheaper.
Uline was the first place I looked, but they didn't offer the stay-flats in the proper size at any less than qty's of 100. They have some padded mailers that you can get 50 of....but those aren't rigid.
Well, there goes another $100. I went to the post office, Staples, looked around several websites like Staples and Office Max, and Uline seemed to be my best option regarding cost, time, weight, etc.
Might spend $200 more on shipping these out.
Then I suggest people include a little extra in their payments to help cover the extra cost.
$30 going out with the mail now.
Karl please adjust the price accordingly. I don't want you taking a hit on this, you've already went well out of your way (and putting up the money without hesitation...) to get the calendars approved, printed, and now packaged and shipped...
Thanks for everyone's concern. I think/hope it will be close. If I'm $20 or $30 in the hole, consider it a donation to "the club." If it gets higher, well I hope it won't.
The Uline flat mailers were listed at $79 but then got me with the $15 shipping charges. The mailers should be here tomorrow though. After going through this, I can't complain too much about shipping charges :crazy:
On a positive note, the calendars came in today. I flipped through each page of each calendar and found that 10 of them had scratches on the cover and December's layout. I called Cafepress and they were awesome. They are going to replace the flawed calendars as quickly as possible.
I'll buy one.
If they replace them without requiring the damaged ones to be returned, you could sell those at a discounted price to offset your cost overruns. That would keep everyones costs down.
I sent $25...........
any mn12s in the calendar or just foxes?
Just Foxes.
Im like a kid waiting on christmas
X2 any update on these?
Got mine today Sweet.....
Thanks
Several people paid a little extra so I appreciate it very much.
I shelled out over $700 so far but I've only received just under half of the payments and one or two members still haven't given me their addresses.
88turbo and SLEEPER T-BIRD 87, I got your payment so yours is already in the mail.
I forgot mine in the glovebox of the 'Vic! :hick:
It's out now!
i'll be sending the money order as soon as i can. i ain't forgot about ya. :)
You have my info and payment, correct?
Yeah, you're covered and yours was already sent so you should be set.
hellsing73 and 87badbird2613 I need your names. I sent one without a name, only using their user name with their address and it didn't sit well with me after I sent it.
Grutinator, I need your name and address.
There are two other members to whom I sent private messages last night asking for payment, name and address. I have five calendars on deck ready to go when I get this information.
Got mine today. Absolutely beautiful calendar.
Thanks a ton!
Step up people....and if you haven't sent yours in yet, you should send the "little" extra as well. ;)
Got mine yesterday. It's purdy :D
What about mine? did you get my payment yet? I sent it out along time ago, with a little extra, not much, but it was all I could afford right now...
I sent my payment out last Friday as well.
Greg
i for got to send u a pay ment so i just sent it useing paypal and i sent 30 that should cover any charge
just received two of mine in the mail... loks great except my month is already gone by... :(
I wish I had read this thread weeks ago before you shelled out money for shipping materials. The place I work occasionally sends out 11x17 architectural renderings so we have a bunch of mailers sitting around (way more than we need really) and I most likely could have given you a great deal on exactly the amount you needed. :( Thanks for all you guys have done to get this calendar out.
Just got mine yesterday!!! Awesome. :burnout: :bowdown:
I usually use Paypal, so I haven't sent a check. You PM box is full BTW.
Karl (my name too :P )
i just got my calender. i also just got my check today as well, so the payment will be out asap. calender looks awesome btw. thanks again.:bowdown:
did u get my payment
got mine yesterday,thanks! the calender turned out awesome, you guys have some real sharp cars. i miss my bird :(
awesome calender, just got mine yesterday and love it. thanks to everyone who made it possible.
Awesome job on the calender. Very impressed with the layout. Thanks to all, :bowdown:
This is ridiculous. I still haven't received payment from everyone and I still have calendars I bought for people who asked for them but never gave me their addresses.
If you haven't paid, please pay me. I shelled out a lot of money up front for this.
I'm not doing this next year.
I would be willing to buy another one if you have any that do not get bought up. Let me know.
i agree 100%
as well as some other derogatory terms i will hold off on for now.
i was fearful this would be the outcome. kudos to you for puttin out the effort, and cash, in an attempt to help promote this community. its a real shame that
this is how you are being re-payed.
and who could blame you? :disappoin
If you have extra, I'll buy one. What do I need to do and how much?
Jerry
Hey, I got mine last week - it's real nice. I was a "better late than never" person - I sent an extra few dollars so I could use Paypal. Anybody who commited to buying one should do so - this isn't a big expense and is an awesome keepsake calendar to boot.
Karl, how many stragglers/calendars are there left?
Five payments and one address from someone who expressed interest are missing. Four of those calendars were already sent so I have two left waiting on payments/addresses. Total missing is $156.
I sent just about every calendar I could before I left to those who gave me complete addresses and names even though I hadn't received payment. I did that because I knew I would be gone for a while and sure enough, I haven't been home since February 4. I also wanted people to get their 2008 calendars before too much of 2008 passed by after all that copyright stuff with Ford.
I'm hoping that the five missing payments got lost in the mail and folks can just put a stop payment and send another.
Thank you very much to all who paid a little extra. The amount of time this whole effort took was insane and I wanted the amount I received to be as close to the cost as possible. I won't be able to do the final math (to find out how close the amount paid is to the amount received) until I get back home.
Don't forget to flip your calendars to July!!!
Still ticking...just about to hit 90K (bought two years ago at 71K).
You tease :raspberry . I've already flipped my calender. I am still considering it. It might be a perfect body replacement for Super(put your money in this hole please)Cat. Since my yellow car was a 3.8 LS.
I'll take one!
Dude this was from over 1yr ago.
