The deadline was because we've estimated that it takes at least 7-10 business days to reliably ship internationally via FedEx, which doesn't include time for customs delays etc, which have happened quite often in reality.

If you requested merchandise for an event that is happening after the actual anniversary of January 15th, I will be getting back to you in due time. We will be able to ship through roughly January 30th, depending on what our inventory looks like and when your event is.

Considering that gearing up for the actual anniversary is our priority this week, I appreciate your patience.

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to know is there any way that organizers Can still
request for merchandise. Here in Jaipur we don't have any merchandise and
moreover we already requested Steven to send one box to us but there is
still no response. I know now it is too late that goodies can arrive on time
but the thing is most of the people belongs to same community so most of us
are in contact. We organizers can distribute the merchandise to everybody
(who contributed in anniversary event) later because guys are collecting
fund by their self to print banners and stickers and for buying kites. It is
important to inspire them for future. This will be the new chapter of
Wikipedia in Jaipur because this is the ever first event form Wikipedians in
Jaipur. I hope I will get a satisfactory reply very soon.
