    Bummer...but...how about holding on to the funds a but longer and try to get a different vendor? If you’re up to it of course:salute:

    It'll need to get re-approved by the legion before another run attempt. If it would even get approved again right now with all the new merch rules. And that would mean holding on to everyone's money for A LOT longer. This way if we can do it again we'll start with a clean slate and everything is square from the beginning. It starts getting way to complicated if I start switching everything around midstream. So sorry for the hassle for you guys but it's just better to hit the reset button.

    Well this isn’t the update I had hoped to be giving at this point in the process.

    This is going to be a long update post so please bear with me. 

    I finally got in contact with the rep at the jersey company this weekend. I had been trying to get an update on our order for the last week or so. 

    In our talk he informed me that last week , without warning, the owner decided that he was going to close the shop. This was a shock to everyone working there including our rep who has been there for 21 years. 

    Our rep asked him what he planned to do about all the outstanding orders that people had on the books and were in process. Our was included in this group because as of two weeks ago our order was still "a go and in process."

    The owner responded “I can refund their money or come up with the money to finish them. It’s their call.” 

     

    Right now all our patches are done and ready to be paid for by the jersey company and shipped from Korea to the jersey company.

    The actual jerseys have not been made with our colors at the factory because they have not been paid for by the jersey company yet.

    That’s where our order stands.

     

    In talking over the situation with MEPD command staff we’ve come to the decision it would be in our best interest at this point to pull the plug on this order and get the money refunded. 

    The situation just seems too volatile to trust the outcome will be positive.

    So that being said I’m talking with them later today to arrange getting the money refunded. Hopefully that goes well.

    Regardless of that outcome everyone who paid will be getting their money refunded from me asap. Please give me a few days to try to work through this as I’ll need to be refunding over $3k.

     

    I honestly apologize this didn’t work out for all of us. I’m really bummed it went down this way after so much time and effort was put into it and the amount of time you’ve all been waiting to get this done.

    Hopefully once the dust clears and we find ourselves on solid ground again we can try to make this happen again with better results.

    Any questions please don’t hesitate to PM me. I plan on reaching out to everyone who ordered on PM as soon as I can to let everyone know as well since I know some don’t check the forum regularly.

    Query on sizing... what should a 6 foot tall standard body profile fella like me consider? I guess more specifically, what are the sleeve lengths like between the Large and X-Large as I'd hate to get the jersey with sleeves that are too short! 
    PS: Payment sent but not submitted the form yet due to the sizing query.
    Transaction ID: 33T85823M5537252C


    I’m a standard size right a 6ft and I usually get a XL. I don’t see why it won’t work for you. The sleeves should be plenty long.

    I was just talking with the jersey company and I wanted to let everyone to know that I worked it out to have it an option to get your name on the jerseys done in Aurebesh if you want.  :peace:

    I put the option on the order form for it.

    Those who already ordered if you want it done in Aurebesh just send me a PM and I'll get it switched over.

    One question on the sizing. Do you know if the chest dimension is the "suiting size" (aka, order a 46" if you're a 46" because suit makers usually leave a 2" allowance or so) or is this "THE DIAMETER OF THIS GARMENT IS 46" " for a 46?

    It says sizing is in inches. So I would measure around your chest and use that as a guide. For example my chest is 42 inches and I can comfortably fit in a M size jersey. But I like to wear sweatshirts and stuff under it so I go with a L for a little extra room. Also pay attention to the length measurement there too. Hope this helps.

    Who is the new Legion Merch Officer?  I know Scott W was the man for several years, but there's someone new for this election cycle.  Maybe we should post a thread on the legion forum asking to "please advise" for a way to expedite the process?

     

    I've been hesitant to name any names or post too many things in a public forum because that always leads to drama and people getting all defensive about stuff. I know this is all for fun and we're all volunteers but I do feel 11 weeks is far beyond at least a response for an update. I'd rather not blow this up because it doesn't make it good for anyone. That being said if someone that can look into this sees this, I wouldn't be opposed to talking about it through PM to see if we can get things moving in a forward direction. I don't want to lose everyone's interest and enthusiasm about the run because of a lot of delay and red tape. That's my main frustration.

    The suspense is killing me!

    I've once again sent an email asking for an update today. 11 weeks and not a response. Sorry troopers. I'm trying to get it moving but not having any luck. We could have had the whole run done by now. I'm very frustrated to be honest. :6:
