Summer caps LFGSS

The issue in terms of effort and time isn't the putting it on a shop and selling it.

It's:

• Talking to a factory who speak broken English, and I speak no Italian.
  
• Finalising details with said factory
  
• Dealing with the Summer shutdowns (you aren't getting caps until October now)
  
• Receiving delivery
  
• Putting hundreds of caps in envelopes, posting them, tracking delivery failures, handling returns (expect 2-3% defect rate)
  
• Manually distributing caps to compass beers over 2-3 weeks (because there's always people who don't turn up when they say they will).
  
  

The act of designing them, putting them on the shop and pre-selling them, handling the stock control, ensuring money is received, accounted for, paid to the manufacturer or covers postage & packing... is actually not a big deal compared to manufacturing and distribution.
