Got my latest shipment today, wonderful as allways!

Thank You!!!

January 25, 2005

Ummm... I ordered a simple trio of bison tubes more than a week ago - just checked and my PayPal account shows the debit but... alas no little treats in my snail box. :rolleyes:

When might I expect them? Please email me privately and I'll give you my order info so you can check your sales records.

E-mail on the way!

(If you are who I think you are, the order was sent last Thursday. Give it a couple more days to make the trek from coast to coast.)

January 26, 2005

Ordered a stamp yesterday. Anxious to see how it turns out :rolleyes:

January 26, 2005

Thinking of getting some custom stamps, as we got such great service on our initial order. What's the usual turnaround time on something like a logbook sized stamp? Or three?

Sissy, are you the Anarchy or the Apathy part? :lol:

The turn around is usually a couple of days from the time I get finalized artwork--be it something you send or something I have to work up. I'm at the mercy of available time. I can't just run my stuff any time I feel like it. As a consequence, turn around varies.

If you read any of CR's posts in other topics, you'll know HE isn't apathy!

Thanks to Sissy-n-CR! I received my stamps, bison tubes, and other goodies today. The quality is much better than I expected. This is probably a hobby for Sissy-n-CR, but I wanted to say that you definately make Geocaching a better activity by providing AFFORDABLE products and services. Well done!

Hi, is there any chance to get a couple of battery holders for AAA batteries. The other two I have are perfect for the AA and CR123A lithiums. Thanks

1.6k · February 1, 2005

No problem on the AAA batteries. Just go to the site and order the AA one in the size you want and with any extras you would like (additional D-ring or spring clip).

When you check out, there is a place to send a note, just mention that it is for AAA size batteries. You can also send an e-mail to me if you would like.

Since I make these as they are ordered, you may have to give me a few days to get them made up. I think I will have some free time tomorrow, I'll just have to put off painting the ammo can for my new cache a little more! :rolleyes:

Just sent you the paypal for two AAA size. Please just take your time. Get that cache out first. We geocachers have our priorities.

Thanks very much

I just placed an order for a battery bandolier. I think this is an excellent idea. I can clip this right inside my bag and fresh batteries will only be a zipper pull away! No more digging around looking for batteries! Thanks Sissy-N-Cr :-)

Kar of TS! :unsure:

February 4, 2005

I just got my order and I have to say, That is some nice stuff! (quality is the key word here)

I only have one problem and it is my fault, I ordered the 6 place battery holder and now that I have it I see I could of used a 8, oh well just a reason to order more from you. <_<

On a side note, what do you use to cut the stencels?

Exacto knife.

Actually, I have access to a laser engraver which cuts it out for me.

Hi CR, I've sent a couple emails over this past week but am unsureif you are receiving them. Can you let me know here if you received my stamp-cutting inquiry? I just want to make sure the email is getting through.

Thanks!

Yes, I did get the email. Life has been a little hectic for the past few days. Not the least of which is a complete meltdown of the my home computer. I do have a copy on my work computer and I will look at it tomorrow if I can get some time.

Thanks for your patience.

CR

February 7, 2005

Thanks for the update CR. Not a problem. I just know that usually you folks are so fast to reply, that I wondered if gremlins ate my email again...

Take your time. Once I have an estimate of cost, then I can set up the order. I'm not sure how much it'll cost to convert the file/image over to a vector file you can work with, or even if it will convert.

I will have something else similar (but a larger base image to start with that will reduce down) once we sort out my stamp. The second one will be for my better half.

Thanks again, and I hope your computer woes work themselves out soon!

We regret that we're having to drop the stamps product line.

I believe that I have enough materials to complete all of the orders I have inhouse. I will know if I have enough to complete them all by the end of the evening and will post an update.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

CR

February 19, 2005

HAHAHA man if that isn't irony in it's purest form....I keep putting off getting a stamp of my avatar made, then the day I decide to do it the custom stamp line gets dropped :huh: Oh well, I guess its back to the sheet of rubber and the exacto knife

waited too long too. Took me a while to get a pattern ready. My fault.

And I spent two weeks getting my picture PERFECT!

oh well, I understand

February 20, 2005

I checked out your store - couldn't resist ordering a couple of items!! Unfortunately I didn't make it in time to take advantage of the custom rubber stamps. Any possibility you might be continuing the line in the future??

While I can't rule it out completely, it's not likely.

That is a shame but understandable. Your quality of work was impeccable.

Wow! I'm glad I ordered three of them when I did! Sorry to see the service go, but thanks.

I got my order of bison tubes, decals and stencils today. Thanks guys, fast shipping and quality products!

Thanks for the letterbox stamp. I'm so glad I got my order in "under the wire." It's a shame you can't continue such excellent work, but I understand how it is. If anyone ever finds a replacement for such an awesome product at such a great price point, be sure and post it!

April 9, 2005

Just a bump to say I got ANOTHER awesome shipment from you guys, Top notch as always!

THANKS!!

April 24, 2005

I found out about this store from another geocacher in my area and was very impressed by the variety and quality of items as well as the quick and friendly service. I would recommend Sissy 'N CR's store to everyone! - klizich

I've been on the lookout for somewhere to get a rubber stamp (two, actually) made but haven't had much luck yet. It sounds as though everyone is saying, "You really missed out since Sissy-n-CR quit making them..."

Do you have suggestions as to other places to go to?

May 1, 2005

I got my stuff from my first order today. VERY FAST SHIPPING!!!!! Thanks. I will be back to order again :grin:

About the best I can do it visit your local office supply big-box store--Office Depot, Staples, Officemax, etc.--and get a "knob stamp" from them. You can then keep the knob on or if you need something smaller for your pack, pull the knob off.

Most should be able to provide just the stamp, itself. You can mount it on something suitable. I know of one technique is to glue the stamp to the top of a stamp pad--not the hinged type obviously. You'll always have you stamp and pad together. Simply take the top off and stamp in.

Hope this helps.

I was meaning a custom-made stamp. Something that I could put beneath my log in the logbook, along the same lines as Letterboxing stamps. I can make my design in Photoshop, but I don't know of anywhere that can turn that design into a stamp without charging me an arm and a leg. (The past suggestions to carve my own are interesting, but I have very few artistic skills outside of the digital world.)

You might check with your local Boy Scout camp. I know that at our camp there is always someone there who is a wood carver. I can't imagine that working with the rubber stamp material is much different. Perhaps one of them can carve the stamp for you.

I might have to do just that. Time to recruit a carver.

I understand. Those big-box stores can create a custom stamp. It's the not charging an arm and leg part that's the sticking point.

Hi just made my order for some bison tubes and sure wish you still had stamps. I hope the tubes look as cool when I get them as they look on your website. Have you thought about any ammo box type of containers ??

When we first started caching, we bought a pallet of ammo boxes. We used some, gave some away, traded some out for other containers, and sold some here locally. The shipping on them is prohibitive, and I think the best place to get them online is CheaperthanDirt.com

I only have a handful left -I can actually see the garage wall now. I have one ready to be placed, just have to get the rubber boots and headlamps out. :laughing: Several are being used to store cache stuff.

I *try* to fill the orders as soon as they come in. Sometimes I have to wait for CR to make more stock, and any order for battery holders will take a little longer. The holders are made when they are ordered, and it sometimes takes a day or two to find the time to do them.

You got lucky! :laughing:

Wish I had a camera to catch people's expressions at a dinner with some caching friends when I showed them the new bison tubes I received with my South African geocoins. They were thinking RLTW's Arctic Air cache was small, but these have 'em beat! Just the ticket for busy urban areas or a rural "revenge" cache. Sissy & CR's battery holder is just the ticket, too, for keeping batteries straight in my caching pack. I just start from the D-ring end swap out batteries, placing the spent batteries upside down relative to the good batteries. Great service, great pricing, great packaging! May not grow to the size of HP, but still a neat garage business.

Well, folks, I no longer have access to the machine that I used to make or mark some of our products. Some items are already out of stock, others have limited stock.

We are out of TB instruction tags, short on marked Bison tubes, and have a few stencils left.

I've marked the items that we are out of and have short supply.

Thanks.

CR has changed the site to remove the items he can no longer provide. The remaining stencils, Traveller tags and marked Bison tubes will be sold on eBay.

CR wants everyone to know it is my idea to dispose of the remaining stock in this manner. His position at work was 'eliminated' by the new owners , and I am not ashamed to admit that any extra funds generated by listing the items on eBay will be a help.

The unmarked Bison tubes, battery holders, magnets and decals will still be available through the site. We have the machine to make the decals in the garage.

Thanks for your understanding!

The plain capsules are still on our site.

We will be bringing more and more stuff online every day or two until it is all gone. We're going to have to play it by ear just how quick everything is going to be listed, though.

That sucks!!!

Now excuse me I have to hoard the stencils I still have.
