Hello there!

The Train Shop is open for merchandise, which is only guaranteed to be around for this issue’s pre-order.

trainsongz.bigcartel.com

Some notes:

• This will be open until March 2nd, then pre-orders will close and production will begin. Expect shipping to start late March for non-dyed shirts, and later for dyed items. If you order both a regular and a dye, they will ship together for efficiency’s sake. Slow train, long ride.

• All profits here ($10–$20 per item) are reinvested into the Train Songz ecosystem and shared as part of our quarterly transparent financials.

• Shipping is priced at $8 domestically; $5 for shipping and $3 for handling, paid to @forestcitypress

• Dyes are available for two of the four shirts.

• Who we’re working with (and paying) in the community:

  • @forestcitypress: printing and fulfillment

  • @the.doodah.man.dyes: dyeing and fulfillment

  • @first_train_we_can_ride: hat-making

  • @deadingoodcompany: shirt design

  • @bouthalfpastdead: shirt design

  • @natgreeneart: shirt design

  • @somesaxyart: poster design

• This email is only sent to people who bought issue 5, not my entire email list or anywhere on Instagram, so please don’t send the link around.

Thanks for your support, and please hit conductor@trainsongz.net with any questions!

Btw I’m back on Big Cartel because I couldn’t get my own e-commerce site up in time. If you or anyone is an expert in that area, I’d love to talk to you and keep our money within the community. Big Cartel charges 10% of sale on each order, which I’ve worked into the prices here. If we can get off Big Cartel, I’ll be able to lower prices by 10%…
