As for me what has been working is to pick one size to work 1st. Make sure all is well with design, location etc. then use utmost caution doing the rest to try for zero errors. Has been working so far EXEPT for the black denim shirt 2 days ago but then that was part of my recovery plan.

Sure, we can use the shirts as test pieces, or have a discount on the potpouri of extras. But, for instance, we had an order from a Mail-it Store. They wanted 12 shirts. Some men's, some women's. There were 4 sizes for the men's and 2 sizes for the women's. What would all of you in Amaya-land do in a situation like this? Don't tell me you'd decline the order - that doesn't count! As luck would have it, I order exact quantites, and ruined one. I can handle ordering extras if the quantites are high enough, but, OUCH!, that would hurt the pocketbook a lot here. Please send advice. Thanks! Lisa Russell Silva <russell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I do the same thing as Sharon. Depending on the customer, I will give them the option to purchase the extras if I don't need them, sometimes they buy them sometimes I keep them. Russell Silva R. S.
