Art of Nintendo Power | 353 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I ordered a shirt on March 17th and it hasnt shown up yet. Is this par for the course? When should I be concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jicsan | 589 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I think the shirts are a pre-order. It said 1 to 356 days to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, just make sure to place it rather quicker than slow to be sure your specific size(s)/color(s) are accounted for in the order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ala https://www.spreadshop.com or teespring. Even if someone bought say a tee shirt for $20 hopefully $5-$10 of that could float right to the VGS expense account and no one had to do anything except upload the designs. No money laid out. not my field of expertise ** Edited June 22, 2020 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No money laid out. not my field of expertise ** BA and doner can speak better to this than I as they're in charge of the apparel, but my understanding is that we've gone with a vendor that we (doner) know and trust makes good quality stuff. We went with a relatively large order to save money per shirt so we can pass that on to you all, while also funding the site a bit (I believe $20 shipped anywhere is pretty reasonable, considering shipping one shirt to me from the States would normally cost me, the buyer, $15 for shipping alone). With a service like SpreadShop we're making commission on sales (generally 10-20% of revenue); that'd be like a dollar per shirt; our way the site gets much more money in the virtual coffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a quick look at spreadshop, the shirts are about double the price for similar quality, you pay for that simplicity and convenience. We would either need to raise the prices a lot or make nothing off of them. Perhaps it could be an option for something we wouldn't expect to sell a lot of, and people might be willing to pay a little more. Something to look into as I didn't know that type of thing was even an option. We just researched the traditional method of placing a large upfront order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrobins | 1,725 Moderator · Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 It sounds like the vendor option was the best choice for a clearly higher demand item, and something that would be more desired should have those pluses you mentioned in terms of item quality and it’s ability to help the site. Maybe more specialty items would make sense for those commission-based sites, like hats and pins. I’m holding out hope for the Casual Cart fashion line. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,096 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The t shirts being an upfront order made sense. If other odd and ends wanted to be made available while making a couple bucks on each sale I think that is low risk especially with no upfront cost. I’m supportive either way lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeevan | 8,910 Events Helper · Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Oh fellow vgsers. I must say it is a super soft material and I just received them.
