Looking for some help with buttons and pins...

My 'Master of Procrastination' title once again holds its head up high.

I thought ordering buttons for our team to pass out at the St. Louis Regional would only take a day or two to ship and be in my greedy little hands. However, right now, the online company that I'm ordering from says that they can't make the order by St. Louis. I've shortened the order, bought the most expensive FedEx services there are to get them here as fast as they can get, and I'm still getting told that there's no way they can get them before the regional.

I know a lot of teams deal with a lot of different companies, and I didn't know if anyone had any names to suggest or any other ideas. I've already been offered a buttonmaker, but our team doesn't have the materials or anything necessary, and that might not be the best alternative.

Any help? Thanks much!

Amanda

What about http://www.buttonstore.com/custombuttons/ ?

I've never heard of them (I can't guarantee quality), but you seem desperate. They say they can make your buttons in 5 days and FedEx can ship overnight. Their prices seem reasonable--18 cents a piece for 2.25" if you order 1000.

Http://www.buttons4less.com/ also looks promising, but again, I've never ordered from them.

why not just order the raw materials and a button maker (we have 2) and make your own. This is what we have done in the past years and we almostalways end up with extras.
