okay those have been ordered! I should have them in hand next week and will post about it and if you messaged me about them in this conversation I'll reach out to you specifically just to let you know when they're available!
an extremely funny moment of my life was talking to the woman at the union bumper sticker company and saying "can you put the union bug over the plumage of the goose"
Okay! $5 for one. $8 for two. Shipping within the United States is included. Shipping outside of the United States is an additional $2. I have PayPal and Zelle, if neither of those work for you we can figure something out. Direct message me for my payment information and provide your mailing address! Thank you everyone who has followed along on this extremely goofy journey!!
hey all! An anonymous benefactor has paid for 2 "community copy" bumper stickers, and I'm going to match them. So if you're holding off because of funds, reach out! There are four available, and I'll take this post down once they're all claimed!
I called the bumper sticker shop today and was like "hey, I sent in an order on Friday and got it in the mail on Monday" and they were like "oh is everything okay" and I was like "I need one hundred more."
the guy was like oh you could have saved some money if you started with buying 250 and I was like dude it was impossible for me to guess anyone would buy these at all
just for an update if you have ordered from me: the first batch of 100 stickers have all been mailed! I'm addressing envelopes and everything right now so that when the second batch of stickers comes in on Saturday I can hopefully have that out the door on Monday, get the third batch on Monday and have basically everyone shipped by middle of next week.
Update: I am two thirds of the way done and just waiting for some new envelopes! Basically - I've been shipping these in manila envelope-size envelopes, which the USPS classifies as "large envelopes." This literally doubles postage costs - in RETROSPECT I probably should have done more research before setting off on this venture and maybe set international shipping prices higher but whatever.
However, just because I'm shipping these in large envelopes doesn't mean they need to BE in large envelopes. The stickers themselves are 3x11.5 and large envelopes are anything bigger than 6x11.5. So I can actually cut the postage costs in two with new, extra-weird size envelopes. But not a ton of people MAKE envelopes in that weird size, but I found one, so I'm waiting for a delivery of those before I get the rest out. Thank you for your patience!
Also - Izzy has seen me messing around with bumper stickers for the past week and she asked if she could design some. So we sat down after dinner tonight and she art-directed these.
Okay! I've decided I'm going to do one more print run of the goose bumper stickers. I am going to set aside 20 for local sales so as of right now there's about 70 up for grabs. Thank you all again - I'm also going to do a post once EVERYTHING has shipped and if anything got lost in the mail or anything we can start trying to get replacements out etc then!
I called the bumper sticker place to reorder today and the guy I keep talking to is so kindly befuddled that I have ordered 400 bumper stickers from him in the past week. He must think I'm eating them or something. New envelopes arrived today so a lot more are going out tonight!
oh my god. I did it. I'm up to date. I have one more pile of envelopes to drop in the mail, including people who ordered today. I'm not behind any more.
Okay! So if you ordered a bumper sticker from me it's in the mail! If you haven't received it a week from today or something yell at me! Also! There are seven community copies of the stickers still up for grabs, if money is tight! Finally - if someone asks you where you got the WONDERFUL sticker and you don't want to say "you have to DM a guy on mastodon" - I made an Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1470673237/keep-honking-goose-espionage-bumper
Hey! If you have ordered goose stickers from me at any point and they haven't gotten to you yet please direct message me so I can check the date I sent them and if it seems wonky send you replacements! Thank you!
@mark You and @dansinker are doing a booming business in confusing your flat-goods suppliers. He’s got a self-described “coke brick” of patches that say TRYING, you have goose stickers.
