Jess and I just finished packing, labeling, and shipping the 3200 Ravelry T-Shirts that we sold in Sept. and Oct. Oh my god. We are never doing that again.

(Don't ask about Cafe Press - 1. I'm an ornery bastard, 2. we preferred to support a small printing business, 3. we were particular about our merchandise and 4. they charge a lot) Next time I'll look into the Shopify + Shipwire combo.

We've been working on Ravelry full time since June-ish and many folks from the press have asked us what our biggest challenges, obstacles, mistakes etc were. We didn't have a good answer until now. Seriously, this shirt thing was ridiculous.

Oh - and for Bostonites - here is a little something that I learned. Did you know that there is a 24 hour post office at South Station? They even let us back up to the loading dock on the rare nights that we arrived before 8 PM.
