YeeHaw, my MouseFest shirt arrived today!

[WillCAD]

I just got an unexpected dose of the Magic at work when the mailroom put a package from Cafe Press on my desk. Lo! and Behold! It was my Tagrel.com MouseFest T-shirt!

17 days and counting till I can actually wear it.

[BetsyAnn]

They are very cool indeed!

The days are just flying by! December will be here before we know it!

Hi Willcad,
I got my mousefest shirt today too, but I still have not received my tagrel shirt which was ordered way before the mousefest shirt. I hope they didn't misplace my order, it says it shipped on 10-23.
Still the mousefest shirt is cool too.
See you soon!!!

That is great WillCAD, glad it arrived! :)

Susan, Have you contacted CafePress? It seems like it should have arrived by now...

[WillCAD]

Heck, it never rains, it pours. I got home late last night only to discover a package in my mailbox from none other than Tagrel himself, containing my Tagrel.com MouseFest name badges! Double cool.

Thanks, Dave, those badges are pretty sweet.

Susan,

I too have not received my Tagrel shirt which I ordered on Nov. 6th.

However, the shipping option I used was different from my Mousefest order which came in five days.

I think I used Super Saver which meant it would take up to 10 business days to get to me. So if you don't count weekends or Veterans Day as business days then I should receive my Tagrel shirt no later than Friday of this week.

Yesterday I ordered my MousePlanet stuff and took no chances...ordered it like I did the Mousefest stuff. I should receive the MP package before Thankgsgiving...cutting it close.

I guess my December wardrobe is all set...Mousefest, Tagrel, and MousePlanet tops, two pairs of shorts, two pairs of jeans, I'll have my Passporter Lanyard and at least one or two buttons/pins telling me who I am.

It took us a short time to get our first CafePress order but then the baseball shirts ran rather small for us two "mature-figured" people.
Ordered our Mousefest Tagrel tee-shirts and they took quite a while to get here but arrived last week and they are rather large. So, been washing them to shrink them and darn if they won't shrink (when you want them to they don't and when you don't want them to - they do - go figure).

Anyhow, we have Disney shirts from other trips, Tagrel's nametags and badges to wear on other plain shirts/blouses/shorts/slacks/skirts for dinner etc. Think we're set. Tagrel needs to get a nice Disney hat with Tagrel's name on it and we can all wear those and spot each other before we can read the nametags!

I'm making a copy of everyone's pic who posted in the Photo Gallery so I can recognize them (after all - how hard can it be to spot a Taginator in a few million people?)

Hi All,
I received my Tagrel.com shirt today! And it is the original design and way cool! Am I allowed to wear it?
Mike I did do super saver on both orders but this one shipped 10-23 and the other one early November so it just goes to show you that the mail system does what it wants to. I am all set now.
Thanks everyone! Can not wait to meet you all.

I'm easy to spot in a crowd; I'm 6'-4" tall and look like a giant computer geek.

I'll be carrying a big digital camera on a bright red camera strap.

I'll be wearing a Batman utility belt with Brita water bottle and my Mickey poncho rolled up in back like a bedroll.

My eyes are blue.

My hair is dirty blond.

See picture below...

[AliciaG]

Y'all are cracking me up. :rofl: I got my shirt today also, and it looks great. :D Here's hoping this warm weather continues thru our trip.

Looking forward to meeting you all! :talking: :mickeyXmas:

[Tagrel]

SusanL - Whew! I was getting worried! And I knew you'd get the original design, because others had gotten it as well! Of course you can wear it (I'm going to, thanks to Cinderella!) ;)

See you in a couple weeks!

WillCAD, I'm sure I'll recognize you right away! :)

I am going to wear mine, SusanL -- they may become collector items! :wink:

[SusanL]

I am so excited, the trip is getting close and now I have my shirt!

Just in case anyone is looking for me, I'll describe myself again:

6' tall, slim, model-like body, blonde hair, blue eyes.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Sometimes I'm so funny I can't stand myself. :roll:

Try 5'4", "mature" figure, short wavy black hair, dark brown/black eyes, adorable, dragging along DH, 6' gray hair, hazel eyes, "mature" manly figure kicking and screaming.

I will be carrying a Mickey pocketbook (over the body size) with thousands of little Mickey's all over it, my orthopedic SAS white walking shoes and at least two or three Tagrel/Mousefest buttons/nametags and one Cinderella tag in red (from Giftsofalifetime from last trip), possibly my Mickey Safari hat w/ears.

That should do it.

Today was a good day for me too. Got my Tagrel Holiday Shirt, my cool nametags from Dave & my 3 Day Park Hopper Plus Passes! Gotta love all that magic on Mickey's Birthday!

[MikeS]

Well...still no Tagrel shirt.

I'll give CafePress until Friday before contacting them.

I may have to get me some Tagrel Xmas attire to wear at Trail's End.

I happen to have done a lot of work for Lockheed Martin's Postal division, (mail sorters, etc). And have gathered a bit of Post Office info over the years.

I don't think this is a Cafe Press issue - it's more of a US Mail issue.

When you select the 'super saver' shipping it saves you money, because those packages are 'low priority'. What that means is that every facility will process those packages after everything else of higher priority. First Express mail, then priority, then on down the line until they get to the low priority 'cheaper' packages. The more facilities your package goes through, the more delays it can encounter. I've found that the closer you are to the West Coast, the faster shipments arrive. My shipment took 9 business days (13 days total) and I'm in the middle of NY. SusanL and MikeS are right on the east coast and are taking a long time too. Of course, its all a big roulette game so you never know exactly how long it will take when you select that 'cheaper' low priority shipping.

Just wanted to share the 'why'. :) Frustrating when you are under a deadline, isn't it!? Still, I'd definitely give Cafe Press a call/email if I went past that high end deadline. Better safe than sorry!

[SusanL]

Hi Tagrel and Mike,
My shirt took 18 business days/total days was 26. I believe it was probably in the local post office because our regular mail man was away and the subs only deliver 1st class mail most days.
I did contact Cafe Press and they offered to ship another shirt but I received the package the same day and wrote back to them.
See you all in 2 weeks and 1 day.

[Tagrel]

Whew! Glad it arrived in time MikeS! :)
