More on the Section VII Mug Affair

Vistaprint has come through. [livejournal.com profile] duckys_lady ordered one there and I just ordered another for [livejournal.com profile] mrua7
They're a little squirrely sometimes but they'll make a mug and not ask questions.  They are not, apparently working for THRUSH.
So, go HERE to the mug page.  The website is vistaprint.com
On the mug page select White and Wraparound to get the mug shown here. Download this Banner by clicking on it to get a fullsize image:

You may have to adjust the graphic slightly but just enough to get it inside the 'safety line'.  Good luck.  Oh, use the promo SAVE50 to get it half price.  I don't know how long that will last, but it was good at midnight.

The p&p is usually prohibitive from here, but the UK loves a mug - so things often turn up. Quite often commercially - I have a Star Trek mug a friend bought from Debenhams (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debenhams) (a venerable store - about as old as the independent USA). Apparently they have stores overseas, but I've not been in one, just the UK ones.

It's a lovely bit of gaudy kitsch, very much in tune with the original series.

We often have Easter eggs in mugs - which was the backbone of my mug collection when I left home to move into my own place.

Not sure how much of a thing that is elsewhere - it's funny what you never ask about other countries...

I know a number of sites will print to fan order (and a lot make t-shirts too) - but I'm not sure about vista print.

I can't click the images, they are locked :-(

[identity profile] gevr.livejournal.com 2018-06-04 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
nope, still the same : image is locked

[identity profile] gevr.livejournal.com 2018-06-04 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It happens all the time. It is very rare that I can see a picture posted in section VII
I'll send you my emailadres, thanks :-)

I can't guarantee success, because it happens to me as well, but sometimes using a different browser works. (Chrome, in my case.)

[identity profile] gevr.livejournal.com 2018-06-04 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll try it - thanks :-)

[identity profile] gevr.livejournal.com 2018-06-04 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
another browser didn't solve the problem either. Too bad so sad :-(

[identity profile] fiorenza-a.livejournal.com 2018-06-04 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)

Too bad, it's a hit and miss remedy with me too.

Try it on other comms though, it does work sometimes (assuming it's not a posting error, where someone has accidently locked the picture).

I see [livejournal.com profile] glennagirl is sending you the pic - so that's a happy ending :0)

I got a notice that my mug has shipped, so Vistaprint didn't have any trouble. It should be here Friday. :-)
