Malc - I suspect you're just hoping for a surplus so we can buy you some welding rods...
Letter postage from the US to UK, Austria, and Australia (the ones I checked) is $4.50 vs. $1.48 for domestic shipping (I based this on 5 oz because the badge people said 3.5oz less screws and packaging). We'll be sure to mark it as "gift."
Some logistics:
1. I still need to finish the design (I want to dress up the design).
2. I'll double count the names involved so far and those who have sort of pledged and place an order with the badge company. Right now I am pretty sure 60 pieces is the right number.
3. The badge company will convert our raster art to vector format and give us final WISIWIG art (which I will post).
4. We approve the art and the badges should be delivered to me within 3 weeks.
5. We will create a PayPal mechanism for those who can use it and simple check order system (with email reservation) for those who prefer. These details DanG will help me post.
6. Once the badges arrive I will beginning shipping them out to individuals who have ordered and payment has been received from.
7. I will create a new thread with financial and inventory summaries.
