Since no one has come forward to me with more badge designs, I am closing the submission for designs as of 2.30pm, 28th August 2009.
Please send me your orders with the format in the previous post. As of now, the price per badge should be $1.50 for TMS members and $2 for non-TMS members. However, depending on how the supplier charges, it MAY change.
Orders close 2nd September 2009.
I hope to collect it by the September holidays, depending on when I finish collecting the money.
If anyone has any difficulties with anything, please email me personally at diane_chia@hotmail.com (or text me if you have my no.) and we'll try to work something out.
As for the designs, I may have to decline some of your requests to modify things as the printer may charge a higher price for so many designs.
I got a quote from a supplier, and for about 50 badges, they're charging $0.90 per piece. However, I need more details, so it's not fixed yet.
However, because this is a business after all, I'm going to sell it at a slightly higher price so that this site earns something. Do not worry, all proceeds go to this site.
I seek your understanding in this. TMS members as of 26th August 2009 will get it at a discounted price.
For a quick link to the badge spree post, check our sidebar.
I've called up one badge making shop, but they're charging $3 for per piece for abt 50 pieces. I don't think it's cheap, and the person who picked up was some ah pek, so I need your help! Please leave a comment here if you have come across any badge making shop offering prices below $2.50 per piece.
Please include the shop's name and contact number.
Edit #2: For orders, please use the serial numbers above the designs.
I will be limiting the number of designs.
Edit: I think I am going to a shop to do this because it would be too much of a hassle to go through other people.
Also, since people from overseas have been asking for it, I might expand this 'business'. However, I will only do that in mid-November, as I'm really too busy now. Please leave your email here or email us if you're interested. I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
All proceeds will go to TMS.
Well finally we have something going on. Since most of us aren't free to do the badges, I've finally found (or rather they found us) some people who'd do it for us.
Check out their site: fanclubmerch.blogspot.com
They offering the badges at $2.50 each, and they're 2.25 inch in diameter (aka the big ones). If we buy in bulk, we may get it at a cheaper price.
I've come up with some designs, you can submit them here or send them to me. (not very secure coz hotmail screws up sometimes). Please have it at 400x400px.
I will be able to modify the designs if you guys want to. E.g. BoysLikeGirls to TheMartinSayers or something. Please let me know in your orders.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- As Boys Like Girls continues to gain momentum for the Sept. 8 release of their sophomore album Love Drunk, the Boston band is gearing up for a busy fall.
After appearing on ABC television's Jimmy Kimmel Live on the night of the album's release, Boys Like Girls will help the New England Patriots kick off their 2009 season with a free concert Sept. 13, outside Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. The following night, frontman Martin Johnson will open the 40th season of Monday Night Football by singing the National Anthem live before his hometown Patriots host the Buffalo Bills.
Billboard magazine calls "Love Drunk" "an unstoppable hit," and the album's title track has already sold more than 400,000 units. It is a smash at Pop radio, where it just cracked the top 20 on the Top 40 chart and is currently in rotation at more than 100 pop stations. "Love Drunk" is also a Top 20 overall single at iTunes.

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. WOOOOHOOOO!
This should be accurate.
I have the song, in quite a good quality, so text me or something if you want it. Otherwise, the original one is at their PureVolume, if not YouTube.
We were seventeen and invincible Had the world figured out and the girl on my shoulder Told me everything's gonna be alright And everything was gonna be alright
Woah-oah.
Yeah maybe we were in high school But you never see the ending When you're young in love pretending Singing everything's gonna be alright And everything was gonna be alright
Buried her deep inside Stars stuck in my eyes
Chorus: Now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band Coz nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yeah she's in Ohio And I'm on some back road Driving to the city Then who knows?
Coz that's all she wrote I wish that that I could turn this car around She's got a boyfriend now
Ohh!
Verse : Then I took a trip out to LA For a girl with a smile that could take your breath away I'm thinking everything's gonna be alright And everything's was gonna be alright
Maybe I thought I could sweep on And sweep her off her feet and blow right back to Boston Thinking everything's gonna be alright And everything was gonna be alright
The streets keep rolling on But now she's so far gone
Chorus: Now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band Coz nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yeah she's on the west coast And I'm on some back road Driving to the city Then who knows?
Coz that's all she wrote I wish that I could turn this car around She's got a boyfriend now
Bridge: Take me back to you somehow With everything that I know Now it's so hard I tore us apart Taking back the feeling that the world Will just keep dealing me the right cards Now you're just so far
Verse: And I'm 23 and invincible Got the world figured out And the girl on my shoulder Told me everything's gonna be alright And then is everything gonna be alright?
Chorus: Now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band Coz nothing ever really goes the way it's planned Yeah she's in Ohio And I'm on some back road Driving to the city Then who knows?
Coz that's all she wrote I wish that I could turn this car around Coz then she goes I wish that I could press rewind somehow She's got a boyfriend now
Woah
YAY. This took LOADS of hardwork by Natalie, Rebekah, Jesslyn and I. My almighty ears are crying for some pampering now.
It will take aound max 10 days after release date to arrive at the US add. (It states at there when choosing shipping method) Then after that would be around another one week plus for it to arrive.
As for the single and digital tracks, I don't think we're able to get it in the end. So sorry. Cause her com downloading's super slow and stuff, and anyway the tracks are the same as the ones on the cd. It's just so people can listen to it before the actual cd arrives. I'll try to get LD again the next time I go see her, hopefully it might work another time.
The 2nd payment for shipping we'll only know when the items reach the Singapore add. I seriously hope they don't pack it in freakin big&heavy packages, cause then it'll cost alot. Oh yeah and on the GST, though we managed to cut through on the cap, my friend mentioned if the shipping adds up to alot (pray the packaging isn't stupidly heavy >.<) we MIGHT have to pay GST, which is like around $7 I think. So yeah. D:
________________________________________________________________________________________________ and just for me to count: CD: 7 Poster: 7 Tshirt: 7 Wristband: 7 Autographed Insert: 7 Journal: 4 Messanger Bag: 4
So according to absolutepunk, this is Love Drunk's track listing.
01) Heart Heart Heartbreak 02) Love Drunk 03) She's Got a Boyfriend Now 04) Two is Better Than One (feat. Taylor Swift) 05) Contagious 06) Real Thing 07) Someone Like You 08) The Shot Heard Round The World 09) The First One 10) Chemicals Collide 11) Go
We've heard 1,2 and 4. No.3's the one that they were playing in the background in their studio update 3.
Taylor Swift. Bleaugh. I like her, but somehow I don't see how the song would fit her.
Well. I don't really trust absolutepunk anymore.
Don't forget, MTV's showing the MTV World Stage Live In Malaysia on the 28th of August, 8pm!
HEY ! I recently requested ( more like begged ) a good friend of mine to do several icons on our beloved Martin Johnson ! :D She 's submitting them for some Livejournal Icon Contest and she 's allowed us to use it . They 're pretty sick so , enjoy !
The Making of Love Drunk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f7oDDcmqfk
Go and watch okay! There's Heart-Heart-Heartbreak and another song playing in the background!
I feel so excited once more.
Alright, I'm so glad that this site has once again been revived due to the Love Drunk preorder. However, I'd like to add that, in order to receive up-to-date Tweets and updates on this site, I highly encourage you to sign up as a member. You'd also get to enjoy merchandise purchases later on.
Send me an email, titled Membership Request to themartinsayers.sg@hotmail.com. I will try my very best to look in the inbox.
Hey guys. I've checked with my friend the exact costs and found out, cause of the GST thing & the weight of our stuff, the cap should actually be 300SGD. Therefore, I've decided to make it 2 batches. Good side's that more people can get the orders they want & that we're much safer from having to pay GST (previous calculations was just barely cutting it)
But there's a downside, which means we all have to pay slightly more, cause we're shipping it in 2 batches = 2x the shipping to US. Also, my friend mentioned that there's a paypal charge to cover so yeah that's for additional cost.
Though it's more ex, it's actually cheaper than if you order 1 pack cause 2xshipping is shared among all of us instead of 1xshipping/pack.
So, here's the new confirmed cost: Premium pack = $99 [1st payment] Deulex pack = $62 [1st payment]
Now the packs will be shipped in 2 batches with the 300sgd cap on each batch: 1st batch = 3premium packs = $99 x 3 = $297 2nd batch = 1premium packs + 2 deulex = ( $99 x 1 ) + ($62 x 3) = $285 __________________________________________________________________
*Please reconfirm your orders by commenting that you still want it/or not. Confirm by tonight - Wednesday (Thursday for Amalina), so that I can recalulate shipping if needed. If ppl backout, then we'll each have to pay more shipping and all so yeah. I'm meeting with ppl tmr already, that's why gotta do it by tonight thanks.
** Please read the post before this and confirm when you can meet up to pass me the cash. Meet ups will be before this saturday so that we can get the autographed booklet!
Heya! For Love Drunk, if we order before the 10th, they'll throw in an autographed booklet. Do you guys want to make it?
If so you guys have to meet me and pass the cash by Thursday to Saturday(before 4:30/5pm) Meet Up places: Green line (Pasir Ris to Outram) Dhoby Gahut Orchard
Text me or comment here for where/which times you can. Let me know asap, so I can work out the stuff yeah.
Sorry, for those in the west, Outram's the furthest I can go yeah. D:
Okay, updated list here + impt/repeated stuff to note yeah.
* for those who have not placed order, the cap's actually full, though if you want others I can put you on the waiting list incase other ppl back out yep.
1.total cost = [pack cost + shipping to US] + [shipping to SG]
1st payment(to be made before order) = [pack cost + shipping to US]
2nd payment(after we get the items) =[shipping to SG]
- Estimated shipping to US less than USD5 = SGD7
- Estimated shipping to SG:
if total 2kg = total arnd 30SGD
Premuim Bundle - arnd 7.50SGD
Deleux Bundle - arnd 4.90SGD
if total 3kg = total arnd 40SGD
Premium Bundle - arnd SGD10.20
Deulex Bundle - arnd SGD6.50
2. *cause it'll be ordered under my friend's email, Im not too sure how we're gonna get the digital tracks. I might be able to dl it from her comp and then burn into cds for you guys or something. But I've got to work that out with her.
3. I have mailed them to ask about the tshirt sizes. Will update when they reply yep.
4.ALSO! IMPT! I'm gonna have to cap the order at (pack+shipping)360SGD cause vpost website states:
Singapore Customs imposes GST only if the individual package with a VS shipment number imported into Singapore, where the CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) amount exceeds SGD 400.
Sorry! Calculated wrongly earlier. Found out that [pack prices+shipping to US + shipping to SG] can't excceed 400SGD. For Vpost to SG, 2kg =shipping around SGD30, 3kg = shipping SGD40. So for safetly have to leave that space yeah D:
ETA: on the preorder site it says around 10 days for it to arrive to the US Add after release date. After that I'm not too sure how long it'll take to get to SG though, I'll check with my friend since she does quite abit of such stuffs.
