This one's about myself.
I'm great at getting things completed in a timely fashion. For example if you ask for a conbadge I usually have it done within a week, so that's not the problem. The problem here is I am HORRIBLE with shipping things. Yeah, your picture may be completed, but it may not be shipped for awhile.
Why is this? Firstly, I work all day and in the days I'm off work, I'm in school until 6 PM. I only have Sunday's off and wow..the post office is closed >_<
So I have to wait for a window of opportunity to do a mass mailing on a lunch break at work or if I happen to get home from school early. Granted, if you need something like "by christmas" I can oblige no problem, but with regular shipping I tend to collect them all together so I can send a bunch of commissions out at the same time. As of now I am, once again, behind on my shipping duties, so because of this I'm not going to take commissions again for awhile until I can get a handle on things. I probably should have done that a long time ago, but eh. I'm stupid like that.
So, apologies to anyone who has bought something from me, I do not forget who I owe stuff, I, once again, am just horrid when it comes to the shipping part of the deal. So, I apologize.

Date: 2005-02-08 10:47 pm (UTC)You know that USPS.com (and ups.com, I think) has a service which you can do by paying for postage online, printing it out and leaving it at your mailbox so they pick it up? Its excellent! Beats trying to find time to run to the post office.. but you need a scale.

And I have problems getting to the post office. *sighs*
