Quick note on tier changes!
Added 2021-06-01 17:46:59 +0000 UTCHis everybody! I just wanted to put out a quick request of you! It is completely fine if you want to jump up to the print tier for that month’s print and then go back to your usual pledge, I just ask that you remain in the 20 dollar tier until the 10th if at all possible! (You wouldn’t be changed extra or anything it just helps me order correct quantities)
Break down as to why this is:
Say I have cap at 20 people in this tier. I see this and on the 10th of the month place an order for 20 prints. But if somebody goes up a level and then down that number drops to 19, leaving one spot behind. Someone else sees the open spot and jumps in. Which means now I have to get 21 prints but I’ve only ordered 20 and when they take about two weeks to get to me that means I have to wait to start sending prints.
Usually when I place the order I close the tier so no one else can join for the month, ensuring I have as many prints as I need, but if in the early days of the month there’s a lot of jumping in and out it becomes hard to keep track of how many spots I actually have left. I completely support coming in for just a month and then going back to your usual tier, just give me until the 10th before you change back so I make sure I get enough goodies for everybody!
Being a small business owner is incredibly hard but you gremlins make it worth it. Thanks so much for your support in dumb businessy stuff like this! Love you so much!

No problem! I’m staying a print crew for as long as I can!
