I wonder in your case if they sold out and had to restock.

Has anyone received their FTRC gear? 

[Let'sGoZips94]

I received my GV Artwork shirt. It's nice. Very cool, retro style. 

 

My kids also love their Yes Way Jose shirts for the Guardians that arrived in the same package. Here's to hoping they make more Akron gear so I can justify more Guardians gear, too.

Seems like they may have got backed up around MAC tournament time, either by the number of orders or just by the busy nature of the time. When I ordered at the end of the season, it came about 7 days after ordering.

My guess, at least for the hats, they probably didn't have too much in stock. They said they had over 1k orders and if they had that many hats pre-made it would have been a huge waste of money had Scott not hit that shot and the Zips didn't 3Peat. 

 

As for the hoodies it could be what @Zips1991 said or it's very possible they ran out of stock there as well and had to place another shipment.

Got my hoodie in Nashville yesterday, still waiting for the hat - figured they would have shipped together.

I emailed today regarding the hats…I believe it was Bud who responded. Says shipping today or tomorrow…overwhelming response.

Would be cool to see a Coach Ford related item on the FTR Collective store

Groce vest was kind of iconic because you don't see a lot of coaches wearing vests. I don't disagree with your post about Ford. I just don't know what they could sell that would be the equivalent.

I received my hoodie today but had to pick it up at the post office as there was postage due.  Apparently, it was put in a priority mail envelope rather than sent regular ground shipping.  As a result, $4.10 more was due for shipping.  Perfect part of this week as a Zips fan.  LOL.

Did you get a confirmation email that is shipped prior to it coming?

No, they dropped the ball on that too.  I did get something from USPS 

[clarkwgriswold]

I just got a nice apology message back from the collective offering to refund the extra shipping.  I told them to treat it as a donation to the collective.  I'm sure that $4.10 will make a huge difference in recruiting!
