I've fired off a couple emails to Spreadshirt. One was to see if we could
get a discount for choosing them (as there appear to be affiliates who offer
discounts for joining Spreadshirt anyway) and the other to see if there is
any way of managing a shop with more than one account. If they can't move
on that 2nd one, I can't see a problem with it being managed from a single
account.
