Those look GREAT!!! The colors are awesome, I said before that I wanted to order some to give to my Mother-in-Law in Sweden and the colors are the Swedish national colors of blue and yellow. I couldn't have done better myself, great job!!

Now next question is can I pre-order to assure that I am able to get some before they sell out?

Honestly, ordering stuff for the BYC store is probably one of the trickiest things I do (table joins in a SQL query is easy compared to this). It's hard trying to find the right items, right colors, right prices, right sizes, right ink colors that will please everyone.

Fortunately I had some help at the end of this one and was able to get it wrapped up without my head exploding.

We're not sure on our final cost of the mugs, shipping, etc. so we don't know the end price, but as always we'll do what we can to make them competitive with other alternatives.

We didn't order a ton, but we think we ordered enough that pre-orders won't be needed.

Just a dippy question, but would it be easier for you guys to set up a store via cafepress or zazzle and just upload the designs, that way people can get them put on whatever they want, and you don't have to stock anything? I'm SURE it would be less profit, but also a LOT easier. I know I'm late to the game, and I'm sure this has already been thought of, but I was just curious!

It makes it infinitely easier for sure but we loose the quality control over the items, the prices tend to be a bit higher, shipping is slower, and BYC only gets a tiny fraction of the proceeds. For example, their 15 oz. mug is $12, and that's with zero proceeds to BYC. Also, it creates double shipping when someone wants a cookbook, some bumper stickers from BYC and then some other stuff from a third party site.

Oh, and of course it makes it impossible for us to do stuff like this and this !

"Hold on there, Saphire!" 16 ounces is BIG. I won't use it for coffee; I'll use it for soup.
