2009 Calendar Update
Filed under: general
Posted by: The Cyclofiend @ 12:28 pm

Wow!  That was a slug of calendars and my local post office is probably happy it’s mostly done now. 

I wanted to thank everyone who ordered one of the 2009 Cyclofiend.com Current Classic Calendars.  I really appreciate the trust in ordering something sight unseen.  Even with all the back and forth with the proofs and the delays in delivery, everyone’s feedback has been pretty amazing. My goal is to be much more “in front” of things for 2010, so that I’m not still delivering calendars into the new year.

After people received theirs and commented on the various lists, I had a large rush of orders which wiped me out of Calendars (I even had to send the one I was going to use as a personal copy…).  Right now, the printer actually owes me a couple dozen more for ones which didn’t get bound correctly, but I am waiting for those currently.

Currently a number of people are also waiting for that delivery, and the remaining calendars will go out as soon as it arrives.  Let me publicly thank you again for your patience!

In the meantime, if you haven’t ordered yours,  can still obtain them (possibly more quickly) direct through the printer - http://stores.lulu.com/cyclofiend
 
or by clicking the photo above (that will take you the cyclofiend.com page which gives both options.)

The reason I ended up using Lulu was their ability to print “one-off” orders through the year. The only bad thing is that they nick you about $6 for “shipping and handling” and use Media Mail, which can take a while.  Just so you are aware, I  plan on knocking a dollar off the $16 price each month in February, March and April.  At that point, it will be below my cost through Lulu.

There seemed to be enough interest to seek more traditional printers, especially if I can have it available to pre-order by August or September.  So, I have some homework ahead of me.

Again, thanks to all who ordered and those who have made both public and private comments.
