I liked the way you kept me in touch with the progress of the order, you kept me in the loop.
This is feedback: I sent these direct to my friend for his birthday, so I haven't see the T shirts but he is happy with them. Would it be possible to offer a service where the purchaser can send them as a gift to a friend and the bill is not included in the package?
