No, they're selling them without a sponsor for now, which was an added incentive as far as I was concerned. It looks so much better without a logo plastered across the middle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick - Norfolk Owl Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 8 hours ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: I ordered the new home shirt online at about eight on Thursday evening and it's arrived in the post this morning. By anybody's standards, that's impressive; well played Wednesday. It seems our retail department are pulling out all the stops right now, so credit to them. Likewise, I ordered mine on Thursday pm and the new shirt arrived today. Fantastic service and a great shirt, well done Wednesday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Serious question to those ‘surprised’ it showed up with 2 days. Is it because it’s Sheffield Wednesday you’re surprised? Or aren’t you used to things arriving promptly? I ask this because with a delivery fee at what it is I’d expect next day or possibly day after. It’s good that the club has got them out fast and are improving, but the praise in this thread makes it look like a miracle has been performed, when in reality it’s beeb the standard for most companies for years.

Whenever I've ordered clothing online in the past, it's always taken longer than a working day between ordering and delivery. Just last Monday, I ordered a pair of shoes and they arrived on Friday - I was happy with that and it ties in with my usual experience of online shopping. Even when I've ordered things from Amazon it's usually taken longer than this Wednesday shirt to arrive. With me not ordering it until Thursday night, no way did I expect it to turn up the next day. As I said earlier, maybe I've been shopping on the wrong sites! Edited July 20, 2019 by areNOTwhatTHEYseem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I pay £5+ it’ll be next day, 2 days max as they tend to use couriers and you’re paying that fee. Main thing is everyone seems happy with the service. I rarely buy the shirts but I quite like this one. Would like to go to the store and try one on. Understandable, but I wish the shop was open to 6pm. Half tempted to order online, but I rarely trust any websites size guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I held off ordering because I go to Majorca on Monday and I was worried it would turn up when I was away because of the SWFC comment (highlighted below).. I was was expecting that to mean a delivery of 5-6 days instead of the usual 2-3 days. Edited July 20, 2019 by Welsh76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I just wish the photos they used of the shirts actually did them justice. The photos are shoddy as hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Wow people really will find anything to get angry about. Man orders item and is happy with delivery time. End of. Great for them if happy. Why wee wee all over his parade with ‘actually I think you’ll find that instead of 36 hours, others deliver for cheaper and quicker, so there, showed you’. We aren’t amazon and things are getting better. Only 13 days until we have something meaningful to debate. FOOTBALL!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because our shop has historically been poo. Whether it is product related or service related. A few years ago I ordered 2 home shirts. They sent me 1 home , 1 away. I took a screenshot of the order. So I had proof they fizzed it up. I've trashed it (screenshot) since, but still ... On an order before that they got the size wrong. Yes, they corrected their mistakes, but is that how you like for people do business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t offer any cheaper options or options to collect from anywhere apart from the megastore. I’m all for being positive about the club but not on this one! What you have to realise is that we're essentially a small family run business, not amazon shipping out in excess of a million orders an hour.

Anus Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Took daughters 2 and 3 to the shop to get their home shirts and picked up an away for daughter 1 who is away at Uni. Great shirt's! Love them without a sponsor on. Was great to see the girls buzzing, and my wallet was substantially easier to carry home. Every time I go to the store nowadays, I can't help thinking they should make the store into a reyt big Wednesday Tap and move the store somewhere smaller, like the current Tap. Good online service would support this too! If only I ruled the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loppy Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I ordered mine Thursday and it turned up sat, I was surprised because I'd also seen the comment on the website about taking a while for online. But it has to be said, £6 for delivery is next day delivery prices. I can't make Sheffield just to collect, so I basically had to call it a £65 football shirt. There should really be a second class delivery option, but then people would just whinge it takes too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they’ve clearly caught up with what should be the norm. I was asking a simple question as to why people were surprised that a simple job (I’ve done similar in the past) was getting done promptly and efficiently. Seems the answer is because we’ve been historically crap in this aspect. I’m glad we are getting better, but even with thousands of orders. It’s simple label printers, sticking to a bag, matching up products/sizes and getting them ready for a courier to collect. Unless we are using ancient methods, then I’d have sympathy for the staff. Nowadays computers do the complicated stuff for us in these jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think the computers do in our club shop? We don't have a dedicated automated warehouse. I'd bet a fair old chunk that the club shop works shirt orders something like this: - List of orders for the day is printed off. - Addresses are printed off. - Doris, Mable and Fred package the shirts up out of the boxes, label them with the addresses and are are then ticked off against the list. Probably on a clipboard in Biro. - Courier picks them up. No magic computer that can sort the picking and distribution out all by itself. Unless it's Bertha.
