Summer Gear Order Arrival date

[niallmc]

Hey all,

Originally we were hoping to have the gear order arrive ~ May 15th.  Unfortunately this has now been delayed until May 22nd-29th.

When we closed the store off there were still several members who requested gear after the deadline.  We try not to have people miss out on the gear where possible.  But obviously this meant the club order was not finalised until it was complete.  The up side is more members get their gear, the downside is it pushed out the arrival date.

Apologies for the delay.  As this was the first order with our new supplier (and a new gear officer!) a lot of design work and logistics had to be worked out. This is now all complete and does not need to be repeated for any future orders.  This will allow us to have our webstore open for longer and in good time for everyone to place an order.  It also means that when the store closes that will be it, no late orders!

I have asked that we try get our gear as close to the 22nd as possible, but obviously we are one order of many for the factory so their are no guarantees.  Fingers and toes crossed!

Apologies again for the delay.  I'll be more ruthless with deadlines from now on! 

Thanks all,
Niall.

Hey Liam,

No updates yet. I'll post here and across all whats app groups as soon as I have any new info.

Hi Niall, any chance new gear will be available before the weekend....
cheers

Update:

The new gear will be arriving tomorrow, Friday. Time dependant on UPS arrival time in Cork. It is being driven, not couriered, directly to me after that.

For anyone racing in Athy, I'll make myself available as late as needed on Friday for gear collection. I can also drive to Athy before the race to deliver gear.

Anyone not racing Athy, but needs their gear urgently, let me know and I'll try arrange something that suits all.

For all others, I'll bring the gear to sessions next week. Monday UCD swim, Thursday Deer park Run and Friday UCD swim.

Please keep an eye here or in whats app groups for updates and specific times and locations!

Thanks,
Niall.

Ok folks. Some bad news. One box hasn’t been delivered. The items in the box are the 49 Speedsuits, 8 Tri suits and 9 Tri shorts.

All other items arrived. The problem now is getting info from UPS on a bank holiday Friday. I am getting these delivered and will distribute on Sunday.

Needless to say collection tonight and tomorrow is now not needed as non of the Tri gear arrived.

If anyone racing tomorrow is really stuck, maybe others can lend gear??!! Any/all help would be great.

Obviously this is all out of my control. I’m in contact with Velo Revolution. He is extremely disappointed and understands people are now being affected by this. There’s just not a lot we can do at this time. He’s trying to get info asap. So as always I’ll keep you all posted.
Apologies.

Anyone going to Birchalls tonight who wants their new gear (less trisuits!), let me know. I’ll bring it with me!
