Don't mention the w word yet, you might frighten the sun away!

Dav

Hello all, just a wee bump with an update.

Payments are rolling in nicely, thank you very much. About half of the final total has been paid for at this stage.

We will do a "winter" order, I don't know when yet though, but keep it in mind around September/October time I'd say.

Are you volunteering to organise?

Any update on expected delivery?

The tax man

Any chance of confirming payments from people? I never know if my username given with payment appears, as you requested, at your end.

IIRC it didn't on a previous order even though I entered it.

We *ARE* organising - by we I mean Boards.ie HQ

[edit]
Delivery will be some time in the next 5 weeks, that's about as precise as the supplier could be with me but I'll look for an update on Monday from them to see how we're getting on. Collections will be here in the office (link) - I dunno if I mentioned that already.

Everyone has been replying to my PM when the payment's been made so I could confirm, but I don't see your username on my list of payees so if you could PM me your name and I'll see if it's one of the few without the username reference.

There are some banks that don't seem to be bothered about the reference at all which is frustrating, but when was the last time any bank ever did what's best for their customer?

Yes it seems I belong to one of those upstanding establishments.:rolleyes:

I'll send you a PM now. Thanks Dav.

zindicato

any updates on this Dav?

bcmf

I will update this:
I approved the flats for these this afternoon which hopefully means it will be hitting production soon.
I should here more tommorrow!

Mercian Pro

Just in case anyone has lost serious money on England or Spain and wants to pull out of a medium jersey order, I would be happy to take it over! Otherwise, roll on the next order.

Dav

Just a heads up folks, we still have about 20 orders still to be paid for. End of the month is coming, so that means pay day for a lot of us I'm sure (it does for me!) so let's try and get all these outstanding payments sorted by the end of next week please.

I'm off on a week's holidays next week and I may not have too much access to tubes, so if you're sending me a PM to let me know you've made payment then please forgive a lack of immediate response

What is the ETA on the order at this stage?

Yeah, just checking, is an order actually being manufactured at the moment or will that process not even commence until all moneys are in?

bcmf

The order is due to be shipped on July 4th.

Great news man

Lusk_Doyle

I'm going away for the weekend. I expect the gear to have arrived by the time I get back. That is all.

Italy. Maratona Des Dolomites.

Nice one.
If your kit hasnt arrived by Sunday Eve I will drop you a message and you can stay there.
Wouldnt wantyou coming home to dissappointment and all that!

marcofan

The order was shipped yesterday should be in boards HQ on Thursday or Friday

Dav

Folks, there's still a disappointingly large balance (€1600+) outstanding on this.

I need this sorted within the next two or three days. If your name was on the Spreadsheet at the start of this thread, then an order has been made for you and you owe us for it. We're not going to be sending out any gear to anyone until the order is paid for.

Hunterbiker

How many haven't paid? I'm flabbergasted tgat people have let this slip.

Name and shame!!

Hunterbiker

Can the unpaid orders on the spreadsheet be highlighted?
Items not paid for offered to the 1st person who pays for them?

godtabh

Thats poxy especially considering there are obviously a few of us who have paid. bcmf, Dav and others have put a lot of work into this so dont **** it up for future orders.

(PS I need mine for a big event in August so pay up)

rollingscone

I've been denying myself a new Jersey because I've already paid for this one...need a new Jersey, c'mon folks.

me to but as I said its for an event so would rather wait

Oryx

No gear to anyone? I presume you mean anyone who hadn't paid? Not holding everyone's?

kensutz

My order was passed on to another boardsie who wanted a M in shirt and shorts. If there ends up being a spare set in M, I'll join back on the order and pick up a spare set if they're not taken.

Zyzz

If there's a 'spare' L bib shorts..

Dav

I don't want to get into naming and shaming anyone, no good comes of singling anyone out for embarrassment.

The good news is the balance is already down to €1400 since I mentioned it less than an hour ago, so thank you folks, please keep the payments coming!

boysinblack

Is it still possible to order one of these?

Alek

I wouldn't mind paying for a medium jersey and/or XL shorts if somebody fails to do it in time

bcmf

Guys,
Let's put away the pitchforks for the min.
The kit to my knowledge isn't even the country yet.
HOWEVER
Can those who ordered please pay the fook up.
I want my stuff for my holidays.

Boards were more then decent to take this on. 410 had a great rep on Boards and had effectively become the go to place for Cycling discussion in Ireland lets not fook that up.
I have sent a message to Dav so lets wait to see what happens over the next few days.

Hunterbiker

I've got Joe Duffy on speed dial just in case.

Beasty

@Dav

Thinking aloud here

I've never used the "announcement" tool in the forum, but presume that puts something up like the current notice regarding the spam email campaign. If we use that can posters click on a red cross again to remove it?

How about giving it a day or so for posters to pay up (and digest the current notice which only went up a short while ago) then putting up a forum-specific announcement that if posters don't pay by a certain date their gear will be made available for others - can't imagine any major issue offloading stuff unless it's a particularly large size. May be a bit of an issue though if you're left with a few bibshorts with no matching jersey, so where posters have ordered both perhaps they should only be sold as a set

Leroy42

TBH I'm not as accepting as some of you on here. Loads of work went into this, boards have let us us their time and money to move it along and I have been waiting weeks for this.

We all know the price beforehand, all the payment dates were well flagged in advance and plenty of notice given.

The payment date was not this week, it was last month for petes sake. Get the effing finger out people.

I not even able to cycle at the moment so I don't 'need' the gear but this is people just taking the p!ss.

Oryx

Or if you seriously cant make the payment let Dav know so he can offer the stuff to someone else.

But a fixed date after which unpaid for kit is offered out is a good idea.

catastrophy

This is the kind of issue that fecks it up for everyone. C'mon guys, this order was based on goodwill, don't throw it back in lads faces.

furiousox

I'd also be interested if any kit becomes available.
Hopefully everyone who has ordered will pay up first though.

Mercian Pro

Reposting my interest in a medium jersey if one comes free (or a green "old style" one if anyone is upgrading).

bcmf

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=91174330#post91174330

Relief list SHOULD ANY KIT BECOME AVAILABLE.
Its first come first pay first served.

Please no chat in it.
If someone bought and now doesnt want can you pm someone who wants one just to keep the thread clean!

jamesd

If anyone had an xl jersey id take it but cannot collect as in Galway.

zindicato

I dont have access to who has and hasnt paid.
Dig out your reciept/reference/date of when you paid and drop Dav a pm and he will confirm it.

boysinblack

I would be willing to pay straight away for a large jersey and can collect...

mathie

Is this the final design?

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=90073091&postcount=6

Any actual pics?

Hunterbiker

Thats the design. No pics as far as i know. This is a custom order and items are on the way from the factory

Alek

Frankly I'm not fond of the colours - Irish flag version would be mucho better - but the quality from Verge is defo worth the money. I hope they look better in real life.

I didn't like the lime one either, until I've seen it in the flesh, so my hopes are high
