To reinforce re Mouse's comment...
Having coordinated kit orders myself, I know how much time this takes bearing in mind it's a voluntary role. When I did it, there was no way near as many people ordering kit as there are now and not as many kit items being ordered. Schmunks has streamlined the process to make sure everyone is updated with what's going on, what's expected etc and to make it easier to coordinate a large order.
I am on the order list and I have seen the emails Schmunks has been sending, if they seem brusque its only in terms of explaining a clear process. In each email she provides the spreadsheet as well as link to to it on dropbox. From what I can see, she is trying to give people the tools to help themselves rather than having to hand-hold people all the way through, I really can't see why some people can't follow the clear instructions that she gives.
In the past its not been uncommon for Schumks to end up having to chase people and respond to questions across 4/5 types of media, this can cause misunderstandings to happen, this is exactly what Schmunks wants to avoid and why assertive instructions could seem blunt. Individually you may think a one off facebook post or text message isn’t significant but its often many people thinking like that, from Schmunks side, these well intentioned (yet multiple) messages can cause difficulties.
Please remember this is being done on a voluntary basis and so speed and efficiency is key; yes, you may get a one sentence reply to an e-mail, but that's because there is no doubt another 10 people wanting an email response.
As has been mentioned many times, you have asked for kit and therefore you should be keeping an eye on progress. I know she can be an old dragon and can nag but she does it because she cares about the kit order and wants to ensure no-one misses out on the kit they want.
Remember, she is doing this for your benefit, so it's only fair to try and lighten her load by using the information she gives to help yourself.
Thank you
hear hear
And you were doing sooo well, right up to that point Barley!
*Trembles*
Monaco medium paid and PM sent
Barlos you are a brave man
Barlos - to quote the much-esteemed Meldy... You are a dead man walking
Though I have to say, that is the cuuuuuuutest dragon I have ever seen.
A fantastic response to yesterday's email with 12 further people paying. Thank you very much
This is a 3rd and final reminder for the 19 people remaining
The people in the screen dump above are in danger of falling from the kit order if payment and sizing is not forthcoming by the end of tomorrow.
HAS THE KIT ARRIVED YET ???
The mind boggles........as there was me thinking "Schmunkee love" was an early morning, performance enhancing, pre race ritual
Good stuff on kit ordering though Schmunks
Don't start that fecking game quite yet?
Jaffa -
Schmunkee thanks for your patience.
15 people have still not confirmed and paid for the kit they had asked to be ordered.
Reminders have been sent out, the deadline is fast approaching.
Just in case my assistant paid for me after a fiddle with the bank should be with you today.
Large gilet for me Schmunks - PM'd you it too. Ta v much !
10 people remaining of which one says payment is on its way and another deciding whether to go ahead with the order
Many apologies will email you as well
Bedders
Schmunks - doing a great job across a multi media platform ... i bet you have shares in Anadin headache tablets now.
good effort
If its not tooooooooo late can I order a XL cycle top ........ I will send payment straight away x
also do you order or will you be getting any Pirate Technical T-shirts?
I'm sure I will be corrected if I'm wrong but I'm fairly certain the tech t-shirts came from an alternative supplier we used for a little while but didn't stay with, therefore I think that they are no longer available.
I concur with Mouse. They came from Carvalho
Link to spreadsheet on dropbox. Please check your sizes and only come back to me if they are wrong or you want to change size
Button mushroom and Purely Cornish - please let me know your sizes immediately. Your order cannot proceed without them and it's unfair to delay the order for the others. Cheers
Last shout for Purely Cornish to let me know her kit size.
If you see her around, please can you ask her to mail the psofkit address by the end of today. If I don't hear from her by then, the order will have to continue without her
