Title: Long shot re kids away shirts (and general away kit availability)
Post by: Jenny on September 05, 2024, 11:39:42 am
I know this is very much a long shot, but has anyone got an age 6 away shirt that isn't suitable and they were planning on returning?! The shop don't have any in, nor does the online store and they don't know when they will be getting any  :headbang:  and my little lad thinks he is getting one for his birthday in 2 weeks!


EDIT - Just had a response from EliteProSports about when they will be restocking:

We will not be re-stocking this line currently, however sizes may become available when items are returned by customers to the warehouse.

That seems crazy? A month into the season and they aren't restocking the away shirt? There are barely any adult sizes in the shop and online as well as the kids not being available....

How much money is the club losing when they don't have stock to sell? I could understand it if the season was coming to an end.....

Club might not be losing any money. If they are, I doubt it’s much at all.

I wanted the blue away for me 2 year old son , been asking for last few weeks - this is piss poor to be honest and makes you not want to buy another top if that’s the attitude and on an 8 year new deal as well ridiculous

Not impressed with the Elite Pro Sports customer service, had a bad experience last season. I never like a company you can't contact by phone. Shame we've got to deal with them for several more years.

Maybe they underestimated the initial demand, and haven’t got the mechanisms in place to turn round new stock quickly?

I noticed at the first few games there were loads of fans with the blue shirts on.  My other half wanted to buy one for me too, as a treat, but even then my size was out, so we got the home one.

Well that’s one less Christmas Present for the daughter as I’d need the same size for her too.

So basically we're in a situation where if you don't buy the kits in the week they're released, there's a significant chance your options will be limited even further down the line, or even, less than a month into the new season starting. Some model that is.

Something for the supporters board to take up perhaps?

Whoever they are

Quite the staggering turnaround for Elite Pro Sports who claimed there was nothing in the pipeline. Their communication is shocking but at least I will have a happy little boy next week!
