I guess they buy padded envelopes for cheap and ship in those first class for $2-3. Or yeah, just get the $5-6 flat rate stuff.

So what's the recommended sizing with these things (Elite jersey)? I generally wear medium shirts nowadays, but am big enough that some larges are wearable too.

I'll probably just order those online then. $33 sound good to everybody? I need to know which jersey everybody wants. Here's who has dibs:

01. 89
02. Beer4theBeerGod
03. Demp
04. SteelAngel2000
05. Nystral
06. Japtor
07. DangerKat

Put it in this format:

Name: 89
Jersey: Michael Vick (Home)
Size: Medium

Once I collect info from everybody, I'll put my paypal on here. I don't want to have to sit on people's money for very long before I can get this order off. Also, I've got 2 other friends getting in on this, so we'll be fine on the number game.

The jerseys are shipped in a standard envelope, about three per because they fold and compress the poo poo out of them. May differ for bigger sizes or hockey jerseys but I wouldn't worry about padded envelopes or boxes, just leave them in the plastic and cram into a different envelope (and tape the poo poo out of it).

Couple of other notes, the site I've used (fanscheapjerseys.us) adds $4 for insurance and $1 in tax on any item, on top of that :20bux: for orders under 10. Take a $20 jersey, it becomes $45 after those fees. Now, if you don't use Western Union (whatever you do don't use your credit card just for security purposes, either use a prepaid burner or Paypal), there's a 5% fee on top of everything. Somehow the Chinese calculate 5% of $45 to be $3.60, so the total is now $48.60 on a $20 jersey. Now, bump that to 10 jerseys and it comes out to $270 total, $27 per on a $20 jersey, which is far more reasonable, but then it's whatever it costs for that second shipping, so make it about $30 per, and obviously it's dependent on the price of the jersey you get.

My personal recommendation is get two or three friends and be ready to spend about a hundred bucks each as everyone gets a couple; doing a group buy like this is fine and all but it can be a headache for whomever is trying to organize everything and lineup payments and shipping and poo poo. I've done this with people at work and it's a pain, and I can easily track down and intimidate those who are stingy with their dough. Not to poo poo on y'all, but I don't know you and I don't like having people I don't know say they're gonna pay me with no accountability. If everyone's comfortable by all means go ahead, but I would exercise caution.

I got an Elite jersey from another place and they seem to run a little big. It was a large and it fit me alright, but was a little long and I've lost weight, too, so I'm just gonna order a medium and hope for the best. I'm 5'10", 185 pounds. Right between a medium/some large t-shirts.

Also, I was just looking at stuff and I'm trying to decide between the Elite, Limited, or Game jerseys. The game/limited jerseys seem to run a little shorter, so that's kind of appealing to me. Any of you guys have some comparisons on your own?

Oops hosed up this post :doh:

(I think there was something here about Game and Limited jerseys possibly having a weird fit to them in the upper body and how the sizing was all inconsistent between Christmas vs NFLShop and Nike themselves.)

The $21.50 ones came out to be $33 after the fees and second shipment charge. So, I'm gonna say $33 and $29, so $62 together!

Feb 24, 2006

#worldchamps
My guess is that their sizing chart is based off of just the Reeboks and they never updated their site for the Nike sizes. They list a 48" chest as a medium, that's a Reebok 48" medium jersey (Nike is 44").

Anybody have experience on their sizes they've gotten from christmas-jersey? My medium (44) Elite jersey I got from yukijersey doesn't fit too bad, it's just too long. I'm sure it's just the name "small" making me hesitant in ordering that size, but I gotta keep the length stuff in mind being 5'10" :(.

Maybe with length, I should get a Limited jersey instead of an Elite. Looks like they run an inch shorter. I'm just still trying to tell the difference between a Limited and an Elite jersey because they sound the same.

Well it's showing $1.62 if I do Friends or Family, just wondering whether that was part of your $33 calculation cause I don't want to leave you with that fee if you didn't expect it (...and all moot if it doesn't charge you of course).

Feb 24, 2006

I didn't throw it in as part of my calculations since it looks like it's not charging me. You can do the $33 calculation. If it does end up charging me $1.62, then I guess we'll at least know for the next transactions and I'll eat the $1.63. Nystral, do you remember how you sent your payment?

uhhh That wasn't me maybe Comfortador? I'm about to send my money now so not a big deal.

EDIT: I was hit with a free of ~$2.50 which I ate (still cheaper then shipping) and I paid with debit card. Also I kicked over $65 so $3 extra for fees and what not that might spring up.
