It's that time again! Beer erm... non-specific liquid drinks for Everyone!
For 2013, the glass design has been switched up and now it's a 16oz Pint Glass. Use it for beer! Use it for soda! Just use it!
The glasses are actually in hand right now, here in Seattle. There are 150 for this first order and more will be ordered if we run out before PAX. You can pick yours up in the Ballard neighborhood any time by sending me a PM to schedule a time. Otherwise, pints can be mailed or picked up at PAX.
The ordering process is a bit more streamlined this time, and will be done only through WePay. You no pay, you no get glass. Please pay close attention to the WePay site and make sure you order the right thing as there are a handful of options.
SOLD OUT. Will post if more become available, but another order won't be submitted for Prime 2013.
1. Pint Glasses are available for $6 each.
2. Excess monies outside of simple reimbursement will be donated to Child's Play.
3. Glass is heavy and breakable, ergo it's being shipped from a professional packing and mailing service.
4. All domestic shipping will be done via USPS flat rate box unless specially requested otherwise.
5. International, FedEx, UPS or Insured shipping will be invoiced on a one by one basis.

FAQ
I goofed up / changed my mind / had an epiphany. Now I want to change my order. Can I?
Yes, just send me a PM with the pertinent information
Can I get a refund if I don't like it?
No. There's a photo in the post. Look at it.
Can I get a refund or replacement if it arrives broken?
Of course. Or for any other good reason.
Are these dishwasher safe?
Yes! I found out they are. Just not in the special hard-water dishwashing soap for people living in mountain hermitages.
Do these say "PAX Prime"?
No.
Do they say 2013?
No.
Well why not?!
Because.
Okay no, seriously, it's because the PAX forum community is boundary-less, and stretches far across the borders of mere PAX events. We're forumers everywhere, all the time, like one big dysfunctional family who doesn't know what each other looks like.
I missed my pickup at PAX! What do I do?
Post-PAX Seattle pickups or mailings can be arranged. PM me if you need to schedule one.
Any missed pickups that are not claimed by Sept 7 2013 will go back into the ordering pool without a refund. Thank you for supporting Child's Play.
D'oh! I really wanted one of these but didn't see the thread until it was sold out. Are there any more?
Any missed pickups that are unclaimed by Sept. 7 will be available for order. Otherwise, there's a pretty sure chance that @Punzie will be doing another round of these for PAX East in 2014.
Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

I'm not far from Seattle but I rarely get a chance to get in the city. Maybe if you're going to the OMGWTFBBQ I could pick it up there? Otherwise if I get another chance I'll PM ya.
the default is you pick them up in seattle during PAX what you paid for is to have them shipped to you so now its playing the waiting game
Oh. Wait. What I have from last year is a stein, this is a pint. So it seems that yes I do. =P
Ordered a couple, Lexi.
There is no default option.
Unfortunately, WePay doesn't give enough flexibility around shipping rules. It's a little bit confusing.
If you order the shipping option, it includes the glasses and shipping (the item and cost breakdown are listed in the description). If you ordered shipping AND pint glasses, you doubled your order.
I'll look at the orders and if anybody looks like they doubled up, I'll contact them to confirm before finalizing the order.
If you did double up, the incorrect $$ will be refunded.

This was 'sort of' answered in the FAQ but not really...
Because the PAX pickup schedule isn't out yet, I was just going to order a 'naked' one without shipping and pick up at PAX
BUT
If it turns out the schedule doesn't work for me though, would I be able to add on shipping to my order?
Sure. Just send me a PM if that happens and I'll send you an e-invoice for the difference.

I recall this same conversation from last year! I often head up to Bellingham, so next time I'm driving North I'll give you a jingle and see if we can swing a meetup. I probably won't be at the BBQ this year.
However, I do live in the same neighborhood as the BBQ so you're welcome to swing by the shop on your way in or out to pick it up if you like.
What did It look like? what volume?
They were glass steins.

Which is a bit of a misnomer, one that's bugged me since last year. A "stein" - lit. "Stone" in German - should be earthenware and not glass. Of course, I'd love to see a true PAX bierstein with flip lid, but that would significantly increase the price.
The vendor that provides the glassware does have a non-lidded ceramic stein that potentially could be the option for 2014.
In the meantime, common names are common.
I'm in north Lake Stevens, but I'd see if I could drop into Marysville for a quick meetup or something. Just depends on how busy work is.
Otherwise I could drop in the day of the BBQ.
You're really gonna make me buy a new one of these every year, aren't you? xD
I think you should get at least one for free, since you were so helpful last year!
Something like that. It depends on what the shipping service comes up with. Some boxes are bought new, some are repurposed.
Hey, wouldn't hear me complain. =3
Was happy to help, though, and I'd be happy to do so again. ^_^

if its anything like last year then it was way more than adequate packaging, mine for sure survived a ferry trip up to Victoria, then bus across to Vancouver and then the international flight back to the UK, and given the battering my suitcase took the box and glass were fine
Yes, Lexi packs them up quite well. And the box is nice and compact, so it's not only luggage-safe, but luggage-friendly.
That's what I like to hear! They're packed to withstand international travel and the 50 lb hammer mechanism that slams your bag along the luggage track.
