fitgers1	08/01/2012 12:40PM Finally! My order is in the mail.
BryanE	08/01/2012 02:21AM Just got my patch. Looks great!
BryanE	07/25/2012 12:46AM Ok, check is all made up and in the envelope. Just need to remember to drop it off at the post office on my way to work tomorrow. Just the one for me I'm 'fraid.
dprochef	07/23/2012 09:27PM Just got my patches in the mail today. Can't wait until I get them on my packs. Pictures to come. Thanks Bellolake
bellolake	07/18/2012 06:40PM I have between 150 and 175 patches left, so feel free to order in mass quantities!!
BryanE	07/18/2012 09:26AM It sounds like you have enough left but I want to double check before I send a check. I would like one patch, please let me know if that will be possible.

nojobro	07/09/2012 10:24PM Mine's great. On a pack. Sewed it on while on Knife Lake. (now with the revival of this thread I realize they are iron-on.....doh...)
dprochef	07/09/2012 09:44PM Just curious how everyone's patches are. Also didn't know if there was any left.

rookie in 03	03/17/2012 11:47AM Order and check sent. Thank you for you work to put this together Chuck, very nice job.
bellolake	03/17/2012 10:14AM Just to clarify the shipping charges, it's $1.25 per order, not per patch.

bellolake	03/17/2012 04:57AM OK folks. Here we go!! I don't have the patches in my hot little hands yet, but they should be here in a week or so I hope. If you want to start sending orders, I'm ready to take them. I won't cash any checks until I have the patches in hand. If you want to send cash, that's great, but sending cash through the mail is always a calculated risk.

bellolake	02/29/2012 05:14PM Don't worry too much about the numbers. Once the manufacturer has everything set to make them, another batch would only take a matter of days.

CORIOLIS	02/28/2012 05:15PM I'm going to back my request down to 4 (although I still want more) and wait for the second order. Somehow I just don't think you ordered enough; I hope I'm wrong so that everyone who wants them gets them. Anticipation.... rats.
bellolake	02/28/2012 05:02PM Sorry, 'copia is a definite no. I talked to the manufacturer today and the 3rd week in March looks likely. My initial order is for 300, so there should be enough to meet demand for a while. We could probably turn this into another song thread to pass the time. "Anticipation"
AndySG	02/28/2012 10:08AM Another 4 pack for me! Will they be available at Copia?

kanoes	02/27/2012 07:52PM i have dibs on 4!!!!! remember that.
bellolake	02/27/2012 07:42PM OK, here we go. Without knowing how much the patches will weigh it was hard to try and pin down accurate postage costs, so I made a decision all by myself! Since it appears that most of you will be ordering multiples, I settled on $1.25 for shipping. Some may be more, some less, but I thought it was a good compromise. Those that are more will be my treat, those less provide a little more to support the website. So the bottom line is $5 per patch plus $1.25. Now we come to the important part. PLEASE DON'T SEND ANY MONEY NOW!!! I want to wait to start taking orders until I have a confirmed delivery date. As soon as I get that, I will post the info you need to get your orders in. You've been very patient so far, we're almost there.
Tony	02/27/2012 12:45PM Great job! If you will be at wingnight (the mn one) I will take 2 or 3 tony
schweady	02/27/2012 12:30PM I'll be wanting some. 1 or 2? or 4? Will watch for final pricing and payment/delivery options.

CORIOLIS	02/26/2012 12:49PM Been off the board for a while, and the first thing I see when I get back, PATCHES. Thanks adam and bellolake, and they really look cool! If you ordered enough and I'm not being a pig, I'd like six please.

Grandma L	02/26/2012 09:53AM quote gutmon: "Cool! Suggestion for future- limited edition for each year (with the year on the patch)." Or, there could be "year bars" to add on to the patch. Thsi coudl be fun.

bumabu	02/26/2012 08:38AM If there will be another future issue, I will take 4 immediately, if no future issue, I think I will want to stock up, those are beautiful.

bellolake	02/25/2012 02:44PM Unfortunately, neither of us will be at 'copia. The production time is about 2 weeks, so we're looking at mid March. The picture of them is in PDF format, and so far I haven't been able to figure out how to make it show up on here. If I get that straightened out, I'll post it. The price has been set at $5 plus postage. I won't have that piece until Monday. When I get that I will post info about placing your orders. Thanks for your patience.
