Hi,
I have been trying to order some t-shirts from your range for the past week from “cafe press” on their website . I have contacted them three times now to no avail, with the problem still persisting. What happens is that once I try to go to the checkout I find that I am thrown out to an error page. I REALLY want to buy some t-shirts for myself, my father, sister and partner as we are all big fans of your fathers writings. I am hopeing that if you contact them as well they might fix the problem.
I have contacted you through here as your e-mail address comes back as not connected.
Thank you
Steve, I replied to you via email about this, using a different email.
