the need to know about Christmas stuff around here
I have deadlines and I am going to be strict on them.
If you want pictures by Christmas and don’t want to pay a rush/late/shipping fee, your orders are due by 5pm Friday December 3, 2010.
I will still be working next week, but that rush/late/shipping fee is $31 ($25 dollars for me to make me happier about working next week and $6 for shipping).
I am not ordering anymore cards. I am more than happy to design a card for you ($25 fee) and you can print them. I will not be responsible for your Christmas cards being late. I am mad that mine aren’t in the mail yet!!! ugh!
I will not be working after December 10th for anything Christmas related other than the Folmar Family Christmas. Yes, I am self-employed and I can do that. I get one week to regain my sanity, clean my house, shop for my kids, etc., etc., and more etc. My Christmas tree has to get put up sometime too and as you already know, my cards need to be mailed.
Now, because I am super nice, if your pictures haven’t been taken yet and are scheduled this week, you will have 24 hours after your pictures are posted (proof on Picage) to place your orders without any rush/late fees. There will be a shipping fee though. It is $6 and totally fair for the late appt. times. Your pictures will come directly to you, not to me, so we don’t have to figure out a pickup time at a closed office.
Always remember…DO NOT ORDER ON PICTAGE!!!! Those are proofs. I tell everyone that when I take their pictures, so no excuses. Spread the word. Pictage is for proofing only!!!!!!!! Those images are not edited and won’t be edited if you manage to figure out a way to order something from them. Do not call them. They are an independent lab, and I don’t use them for anything other than proofing.
Back to cards. I love to see them! My mailing address is POB 4032, WF 76308. Feel free to put your payment in with them.
Yes, I do design free cards for my bride and grooms and their parents. Thank you and we so much enjoyed being with you at your wedding. But please let us know if you want one asap.
Also, we do not have regular office hours (one more perk of the self-employed photographer). Contact me to set up a time to meet at the office if you need to come in for anything.
Okay, that was painful, but necessary. I love you all, but please be respectful and don’t wait until the last minute to place your order or call or email questions.
Now for the good stuff….only 9 more days left before the 12 days of Christmas giveaways!!!!!! It’s going to be so much fun.
