It's a shirt, it fits in an envelope. assuming they use a large courier, instead of Royal Mail tracked which would be quite amateur, it's probably not far off what they get charged. couriers have really carefully calculated prices for areas based on their transport costs, the network they use (DHL is German so their mainland Europe shipping is quite cheap, FedEx can ship back and forth to the USA for nothing), frequency of parcels between the two countries and so on. a lot of online shops actually charge less shipping than it costs them, because competition is so high. trust me, retailers hate shipping costs just as much as customers. edit; and the polar bear protection, of course.

No that is not correct. Finland is in international band 2 and the cost should be £15. Thats what i charge and i make nothing and lose nothing. The club are making £10 a delivery.

I bought the home & away top a couple of weeks ago. The club got it to me in Australia in 4 business days or so through DHL. Free delivery from the UK because I spent X amount but personally the service was excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Looks like 'Energy Bet' might be the sponsor on the back of the player's jerseys. Or perhaps not. Edited August 3, 2016 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I saw a picture of Agbonlahor on twitter holding up the back of the jersey and it had 'Energy Bet' on it. But looks like that was just a promotion, rather a fixture for the entire season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hi all I found this out today, I always like to have my initials and number special to me (69) on my training gear that I tack around the flat in. However the shop won't do this as the Under Armour gear is special heat resistant fabric and the numbers are applied with heat to activate the adhesive. I checked some pics of the players training and they don't hair their initials or numbers. However I did find one pic of RDM with his. Can anyone give me the solution to this problem please?

AtkinsonWonderGoal Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Does anyone know what colour the text and numbers are on the back of the away kit? It scared me trying to order one today with name and nunnery on it when the image on the site showed it in white...!? Anyone else had one done as I didn't see any away tops with writing on at the boro game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a guess I'd say black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Apologies for bringing up a dead-ish thread, but does anyone have any idea when the women's Away shirt will be available to buy? On that note, does anyone know why the women's away top is delayed? Seems really odd to me :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I don't like our kit, but I do like the training tops...I'll be going for one of them instead of the official kit. They just didn't have my size in stock up JD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 26, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 26, 2016 Finally got my grubby mitts on the home top, by which I mean I held it in a shop (€75 ?!?! You must be joking). Must say I wasn't bowled over by the quality. There was the odd stray thread. Very lightweight which is obviously the design, but it came across as almost flimsy.
