>The shots I'll be using will largely be comprised of the Celica of the Month shots, except for those that aren't available at a large enough resolution to be suitably printed. Any supplemental shots being used will be shots that have been sent to me in the past 2 years by people who missed being in the calendar by a very close margin. There's quite a few, and honestly, some that from a professional standpoint, I think REALLY should have made it in! As for the cover shot, I haven't decided yet, but I'm kinda reserving the right to use a (quality) shot of my own car, since A) I'm makin' the thing, and B) no one will be subjected to stare at it for an entire month, should they object tongue.gif

As for print - I'll have the calendar completed by the end of next week and will send it out for print the following Monday, and expect to have it available for shipping on December 1st.

I'd REALLY like to get a better gauge of how many I should have printed! So in hopes of motivating some of you, I'm willing to extend the pre-order offer of $16 shipped anywhere in the US until I'm ready send the calendar out for print, on November 19th.

Any takers? PayPal to mjgriff1@gmail.com, please include your name, screen name, and shipping address!

Status right now is that I pulled what I'd sent to the printer due to some late submissions. Since December COTM is posted, I figured at this point I might as well email him & see if I can't get a high res photo of the winning picture, so it can be included in the calendar.

The calendar itself will be extended through January 2012... sort of to "make up" for the lost time for Jan 2011. If I can get the December COTM pic this week, I expect to have the calendars back from the printer by or around January 7th, and of course will ship them IMMEDIATELY. All pre-paid calendars will be shipped Priority Mail.

Dimitar, no problem, of course that's your right. Email me and let me know for sure if that's what you'd like to do, and I'll take care of it.

If everything is as planned it already should be posted before more than a week and everyone should have it home... Since you do not have it there must be some troubles with printer (as usual). At least I already have calendar on the wall so do not hurry on this one at all smile.gif

No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________

I'm here; it's just been a very insane month, I'm sorry for not replying sooner. I will call the printer tomorrow & find out the status, & will update tomorrow afternoon (and will also reply to PMs)

Sorry, you guys. Most of you know me, & you know I'm straight up. Don't be worried.

I can look into my resources to see what the cost of a 13 month print would be. I have graphic designers that work within my company with their own printers, etc.

I'll see if they're willing to work something out for us.

I put a call in last Tuesday to see what the status of my job was & haven't heard back. At this point my only goal is to get the prepaid calendars printed, and I'm out. I love doing this but am myself frustrated by the problems for the second year in a row. Jeremy, email me if you want, I'll even supply you with the indesign files for a template for future calendars if you want.

I'm sorry these issues have continued for the second consecutive year. If Monday I don't have any answers, I will pull the job & get them printed elsewhere to fulfill the existing orders. My intent is to have them fulfilled by the end of the week.
awesome smile.gif hope it works out
I know how frustrating working and counting on others can be lol, nothing you can really do

Hey Michelle;

The graphic designers are interested... I sent you an email. thumbsup.gif

i would like to see a list.
im sorry michelle, but you starting taking these guys money in OCTOBER.

thats horsesh*t.

Manny- I can get you a list if you'd like, I'm not trying to hide anything and am totally willing to cooperate here.

Dmitri - I'd PMed you back! I wasn't not aware my PM box was full (that's why I make sure people here have my personal email address, so I can always be contacted in case that happens). I'll email you directly right now. (Please reply so I know you've received it)

KAOS has been in touch with me and I've just responded to him to make arrangements to send the art files to him for printing. I will additionally be modifying the art to be a 16-month calendar, to try to "make up" for the delay with this project.

I will clear out my PM box right now. Anyone wishing to be refunded, please contact me and I will of course comply. I've been a member here for too long and have to this point been a pretty valuable member I'd like to think, and I definitely don't want things to go down negatively like this.

i would appreciate it if you would post that list here, with who has paid, who has been refunded, ect, and keep that updated appropriately.

Hey guys - once I get all the info from Michelle, I should be able to get them printed off up here and sent out ASAP.

For those of you still wanting one (*especially a 16 month version) it will be possible.

My designers want to see an example of what we're looking for, but they're certain they can handle the task. I set up their workstations and printers, so I know we have the equipment to handle it... I just didn't want to intrude on their current work schedule.

I will keep everyone posted with info - as soon as I know, you'll know.

Thanks everyone!

Go easy on Michelle too, unforseen obstacles happen all the time. ($hit happens) We will get it sorted out.

NO money...
NO calendar...
NO comment !!!
So 3 days ago i received the refund from GriffGirl....
....today paypal let me know that the bank of GriffGirl reversed this transaction so they take back the money.... laugh.gif
so again no money...no calendar laugh.gif
Just woke up to the email notification about the bank declining the transfer. You're not the only person it happened to, it happened for one other transaction as well, for which I was emailed about yesterday and IMMEDIATELY actually FORWARDED the email to the person it affected to let him know what happened and that I'd call the bank to inquire about it today.

I had a past problem with PayPal and had to block them because they were making unauthorized charges to my account. The block was supposed to be a one time deal, but I'm guessing that's what the problem is here.

SO, since you have my email address as well, I would very much appreciate if in the future you could just email me directly about stuff like this instead of blowing it out to the world. Had you done so I'd have emailed you too just as I did the other person. It's not like I'm going to just initiate a refund that I know won't go through to "make it look good." I understand your frustration but sh*t, that's just pretty immature.

I have lost my job and am systematically issuing refunds weekly as I'm able to. I will reissue yours as soon as I get this cleared up with my bank and am able to use PayPal again, which I expect to be today. I have issued other refunds without any problem, so I'm not sure why this has happened with yours and one other now.
Just got off the phone with the bank, the problem was due to the block that I'd placed on my bank account; it was supposed to be a temporary block but they'd placed an "extended" block. The block has been removed and I will be able to make transactions tomorrow.
