Highlander Radio Tshirts!

Paul and Killian,

These are wonderful!! Please count on me for a Medium shirt. I'll take a Tshirt if that's what you start with, but would really prefer a long-sleeved shirt if those are available soon. White's fine, but I'd also take a Green shirt if they become possible later (hint, hint! ). Another question for you -- any kids' sizes available?? Pretty cool!

Thank you both for all the hard work, as always. It's very much appreciated!!!

I would like to buy 2 XL T-shirts right know (sorry but I'm so excited...)! But like Dreamer, I would dream of a green shirt ! .

We will have some green shirts on hand, although it will have to be a light green shirt because we have not yet experimented with dark shirts. Dark shirts require additional prepping.

Long Sleeve shirts we will also have, in white and green - but the cost is going to be a few dollars more as long sleeves shirts costs us more.

I am almost certain that Celtic Radio Gifts will open tommorow! We have been working almost a month on this project! Celtic Radio Gifts will feature an easy to use estore, shopping cart, automated usps shipping prices, ability to post reviews and much more. We will be taking checks, money order, paypal and credit cards through paypal. Very much automated with emails, order invoices and more.

We will probably have Tshirts, mousepads, a few tartan books and a few CDs for sale beginning tommorow - Sunday at the latest. Because of demand, we may not be able to fill all orders immediately, so just for our initial opening there maybe a 1 week delay on the Tshirt orders until we have a good inventory of Tshirts to work with.

Celtic Radio Gifts will be on our new secured server and will use SSL. SSL creates a secure connection between a client and a server, over which any amount of data can be sent securely. Most major estores use this protocol. In addition, we have decided not to combine CelticRadio.net community accounts with our estore. You will need to signup for a seperate account. This is so we can provide the highest level of security and protection to our customers accounts. This also provides a certain amount of privacy too. We will only require minimal information to make it very easy to signup.

Stay Tuned!

I like the design on the back, but I wouldn't wear that front design, are any alternative designs on the drawingboard?

Yes, most definitely will we have other designs. For now the goal is to get a few items up in our estore and just learn how to run an estore!

You're doing a fine job, I hope it all goes smoothly! (as if it ever does with computers!!)

Thanks TassieCelt! Yes, it is going very smooth and the estore is look and working fantastically. There is nothing like open source software that you can adjust, recode and alter as you see fit!

The store will officially open tommorow. I was shooting for today, but would like to get a few more items in there before we open.

Waiting in anticipation with credit card in hand

I just wanted to post a few notes about our Highlander Radio Tshirts. First of all, the Tshirts are now onsale in our brand new estore called "Celtic Radio Gifts":

http://www.celtichearts.com/php/shop/index.php

For our initial offering of these Tshirts we are expecting a big response, so we have reduced the price of the shirts to $15.95.

For our initial offering we are making available jeerzes, sweatshirts and hooded sweatshirts. This is only for a limited time because we did some calculations and realized that it would be very impossible for us to keep a working inventory of these styles because of the cost involved. We will be ordering all of these special styles from our supplier on Monday November the 8th and should have these available to ship sometime next week.

After that we plan on only offering short sleeve and long sleeve shirts in 4 different colors. So, if you are interested in one of the special styles, be sure to order these before this Monday!

Well, I had thought that we would not be able to fill most of the orders until late next week, but we were able to locate a local supplier for the materials we need to transfer the designs on the shirts.

So, the good news is that we will have ready to ship on Monday all but 3 or 4 orders.

In addition, we made some slight design changes today. We will have the modified design updated in our estore tommorow. The changes have to do with the words "Highlander Radio" and I have to say it looks really really nice. This also allowed us to make the Celtic Knot Design a little bigger too.

All I can say is that these shirts looks just awesome! The stonewash green shirts look very cool and the contrast on the white shirts with the designs really stands out! I am sure everyone will be pleased with these shirts.

This will probably be my last post in this thread unless there are any questions.

Wow, we have boxes everywhere with Highlander Radio Tshirts shipping all over the U.S., Canada, Germany, Sweden and France!

I have updated the colors, types and styles of the shirts in the estore along with some nice photographs from our wholesaler of what the shirts look like on people.

Very impressed with the colored shirts. White does look splendid, but especially the stonewash green looked very nice with the Highlander Radio designs.

Because of the amount of time it takes to create these TShirts, we have quickly realized that we need to raise the prices of the shirts to be more in line with the amount of time and cost to create them. They are still on sale, but the regular price will eventually be $23.95. This reflects the cost of the products, supplies, production of the shirt, transportation, etc. While we would love to sell them at a cheaper price, we just don't have the capacity, so the price does need to be in line with all of these factors.

Clan badge Tshirts will be less because they are only 1 sided ($16.95) and in December we plan on offering all Seven Celtic Nations flags on our Shirts along with mousepads for all designs.

Would be great if I could get a mouse pad with the 3m mousing surface and a Highlander Radio logo. I've got a nice slim, flexible one with the surface now, and I love it. Would be even better if it were a Celtic mousepad If I can't get that surface though, I'm not likely to buy a mousepad.

Wow! That seems like an awful lot just for a t-shirt, plus an extra charge for different colors. After shipping, that's easily about $30.00 for a t-shirt. I have to be honest and tell you that I would never pay that much for a t-shirt. I hope I'm the only one, though, because I do hope this continues to be the success it apparently already is.

Have you looked into getting them screen printed?

Part of the problem with getting them screen printed or done by a company is we just don't have the funds to have the # of shirts produced and turn a profit that makes it all worth while.

I wish we had the time to produce these shirts at a lower cost, but I fear then we would be spending all of our time making shirts and no time running and improving the site.

I am sure we are going to find a balance between the two! My hope would be to sell atleast 4 shirts a month which would pay for the internet usage!

Nothing is set in stone, so we will see how it all goes.

Hi Mac!

I LOVE the new shirts! I've asked for one for Christmas! I hope Santa was listening!
