View Full Version : CLOSED: "Hammock Life" Tshirt
I'd like to put together a group buy. The item is a black Fruit of the Loom heavy cotton Tshirt with a cool artwork design that my cousin drew up for me. I will be accepting PayPal for the final payment. DO NOT SEND ANY PAYMENT UNTIL THE FINAL COST IS CALCULATED. As of right now if we get atleast 12 orders the price would be $15.33. The breakdown is as follows: $9.25 pershirt + $5.35 USPS Priority shipping to US + $0.73 PayPal fees(2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). If the order is double that then the price goes down to $13.42. So the bigger the order the lower the end price. I'm not oposed to shipping International as long as you are willing to pay for it. For example, Australia and Belgium International Flat Rate Priority is $16.95. Canada International Flat Rate Priority is $12.95. After all the requests have been submitted I will PM each one of you a
total. If you order multiples then the PayPal fees will differ slightly.
Availabe sizes are Adult S,M,L,XL.The following sizes have additional upsizing prices for each shirt XXL-add $1.50, 3XL-add $2.50, 4XL-add $3.50, 5XL-add $4.50, and 6XL-add $5.50. Youth sizes are XS,S,M,L,XL.
I'll let the buy go till say 7pm on 21 October. Thats two weeks. After that I can give everyone their totals and place the order once all funds are submitted. When they come in I'll box them up and ship.
And here is the shirt........
So just reply with post saying quantity and size. I will keep a list going.

There is less than 48 hours remaining to get in on this group buy. As it sits the price is less than $7 for the shirt before shipping, upsize fees for XXl and up, and paypal fees.

I'll take a large please ( 44" chest - not sure how US and UK sizes compare). Thanks
At that price, I think I might have an extra one. So 2 Ls for me, please!
I'll take a large please ( 44" chest - not sure how US and UK sizes compare). Thanks
Sweet Roe! You may do better with an XL being they are cotton and could shrink slightly depending on how you dry them. I always hang dry a new cotton Tshirt for the first 3-4 times. After that they don't shrink very much when tumble dried. Be sure to read the original post concerning international shipping. Hope you're still in. I'll leave your request as a large unless you chime in otherwise.

Sweet!! Hammock Leben!!

Add a 3rd one to my name, hubby would like one too. If they run in normal sizes than his would be XXL
So our totals are:

Something I've thought of fore sure. They have some sport performance options but they are more expensive. Maybe one day I'll find a Merino option.

I can't believe I missed this. I must pay more attention to the group buy section. I sure admire those that put these together, lots of work I'd bet.
Shirts are in folks! Gonna start boxing them up and getting them to the post office. I'll try my best to have them all on their way by Saturday.
Thanks again for putting this together. It's a lot of work and we all appreciate what you've done.

No xtra 2X sorry REV. If there is enough interest I might do another round later.
Well gang I just got back from the post office. Everyone has been shipped. Some of you should start getting them Monday. All were shipped priority.
So I would like to keep this thread open if it's ok with the mods to let folks post a pic of themselves in their new shirt. Please feel free to PM me with any questions if you don't want to post publicly. There have been a couple interested folks after I ordered, so not ruling out another round if there is enough desire. Enjoy'em folks and rock yer Hammock Life!

Yer welcome! Post a pic of you in yer shirts if you can! Would get a kick out of seein them. Especially if it's next to something specific to your geographical location.
since you have a zazzle thing, why couldnt we just order thru there?

Yeah they can check that out. I was doin the group buy thing to get them at a very low cost. For instance the Tshirt I offered would be $26.95 if just ordered as a single. We were able to get enough orders to bring that down to $6.22. Each individual paid for exact shipping and minor payapal fees and still came in at $12.20 shipped. Maybe I could do another round and offer a couple different color options.

That is a great buy and no one else anywhere but Hammockforums.net members will have that.
Is it possible to get that with Hammockforums.net on back as well? Or maybe on front and Hammock life on back? Just wondering...

Would have to check with the mods on that. Use of the HF logo requires approval from them. They could buy a batch and put them in the store to support the site.
Wow, that was fast! On their end and yours! I'm super excited to get ours :D
Holy cow! Got ours!! LOVE THEM :boggle: Thanks Mike for putting this together.

Really get a kick outta seein you guys in yer shirts!!! Thanks for postin!!! Surprise benny to this whole group buy!! I wanted to say thanks to everyone for diggin my favorite person on the planet's artwork, my cousin! We are only two months apart in age and have been friends and family for 42 years. We grew up in different states and always picked up right where we left off every time we got together growing up. We have gone as much as 8 years without seeing each other and still remain like brothers. I have been lucky to have him around in recent years and value his friendship, loyalty,and respect immensly. He has really gotten a kick out of you guys liking his design. I introduced him to hammock camping and right off he got it! I chat up my hobby to so many and all too many times I just get a confused look. He on the other hand got just as stoked about it as I did. Enough with the banter I will get on with it. I will put everyones name that got in on the group buy in a hat and draw a name at random. The lucky winner gets this!
