"2009 1st Gen RX7 Calendars! 100 Avail. Ready to ship ASAP."
Update 11/29/08
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and even better black friday, haha.
I received the proof for the calendar and I was pretty happy with it. I made a few adjustments to the images (lightened them up a bit as they were a little dark).
I went to the printers to see his new shop, it is pretty nice. Great new people he is working with, too.
The calendar was printed on 100# glossy paper. This means that the month pages are equally as thick as the cover. One of the reasons I chose this route is because rather than throwing the calendar away at the end of the year, you can cut the month(s) that you like out and hang them somewhere. It's just a nice little thing that makes your money go further.
I also told the printer to cut a hole at the bottom of the calendar, in the middle, so it will be easier to hang. I always hated pushing a thumbtack through a new page every month.
Payment Options; There will be a few ways to do this.
PayPal - My PayPal is sales @ shoandgo DOT com. I'm not like most people, I will not charge the 3% that PayPal takes. I am doing this calendar as a favor and to be known to help around this site. A good reputation is always nice, especially if I do this again next year for all generations. If not all, the first generation will probably be done again.
Money Order - Best way if sending through the mail. When received, I can ship ASAP. You're order will be already packed and ready to go to get to you very soon.
Personal Check - I don't usually like these, I would prefer a Money Order. Shipment can be made much faster as I don't have to wait for the check to clear.
Please contact me before sending any payment! I would like to communicate by either PM, Email, AIM, phone, anything before I receive an order. This is to make sure you get EXACTLY what you want, to the correct location.
Quick Shipping Information Update!!
To those of you who are outside the USA; When I received the calendar proof, it was heavier by a few ounces than the calendar I was basing shipping prices on. Would it be fine to raise it $2, up to $20 shipped for one? I am splitting the difference in cost with shipping. The price to ship from my location to Australia and Denmark is roughly $9+. I would feel guilty if I charged you full price, but I am hoping you understand. If not, please contact me. We'll see what we can do. If purchasing more than one; I will work a deal again on shipping. I will most likely go in halves on shipping price. Does that sound fair as well?
Thanks everyone,
Chris.

Hey everyone -
All PM's have been replied to.
The printer said I should have the calendars in my hand by Wednesday or Thursday.
To those who pre-ordered, they will ship the day after I receive them.
For those who are willing to order;
You can pre-pay and I will send them with the other pre-orders or you can wait until I get them in hand.
Thanks for all the patience!
Chris

I'm just trying to figure out exactly how many i need ... I'll send you the money as soon as I find out ... I'm seeing if a couple other members locally want some too to just combine shipping to make things easier and cheaper

The calendars are IN!
To those who pre-ordered, they will be sent out friday after I make the boxes for them.
For those who want them before Christmas, let me know ASAP.
