no chance.
wait till you see and touch one then take a guess at the cost

i have high standards - its one of the reasons its taken so long to agree the final print.

Lets not turn this into something ugly.

It was an epic day, people still stop and ask if I was there when filling up for fuel which is really cool.

any 'profits' will go to the McRae charity, so who cares if it costs a bit more.

Everytime you look at it, you'll remember.

Everyones calculators make this the same. I didn't read it that Nate was having a dig at you, but I DID read your post as being hostile for no good reason.

No-one was being critical.

An apology to Nate wouldn't go amiss.

Errrrrr ...... Did I slate 'The MacRae Gathering' for doing this ?

All I said was it was a quick way of raising £22K, and I am also one of those that has thrown £40 (+ £7 postage ) into the MacRae fund, if I was to be uptight about you raising these funds for MCG, I would not have put my hand into my Paypal account .

I rest my case your honour

The total raised from the selling of the prints will total roughly £11000.

Each print is costing us in the region or £20 each including VAT and Del.

The prints are being sent out Special Delivery through the Royal Mail at a cost of £6.20 each including Insurance up to £1000. Each postal tube is 30p so the £7 postal figure really is bare bones and nothing on top. This gives us piece of mind at this end and a tracking number for the end user. The insurance aspect helps out incase the RM get it wrong and we need to replace the item.

Just wanted to clarify about the costs involved and what we expect to make from the selling of these prints

Thanks for your support

Grant

PS

Nate, let me apologise for my sweet and innocent other half's tone. Been a bit of a stressfull week and she really meant no ill feelings. Imy talks to everyone like that but she really did get a lot of things done in the run up to the event with her no nonsense approach to things.

Re:Mosaic Picture 4 Days, 6 Hours ago
I know you guys are excited and probably watching for the postie every day
but please allow 28 days for delivery.

Grant and I need to securely pack each Print individually and then take batches to the Post Office to post.

Their new system needs to scan each barcode and punch in the postcode for each item and takes ages to administer.

The packing process has started and we will be posting the first batch this week.

We will also update your order status in the shop and send you an email notification that your print has been shipped and to look out for it arriving next day before 1pm.

thanks for your patience, we are working on this when we come in after our day jobs, and are spending our nights and weekends to get these out to you.

cheers,
Imy

Mine turned up on saturday.

The print is 310mmx910mm and Ikea do a frame that's 300mmx880m for £12.59!

It mean cutting it to the blue border, but i dread to think what one would have cost to get made up.
