Where the fartlek is my shirt?!

We promise, they are not lost in the mail nor do we have an incorrect address on file.  We didn’t pace ourselves when we announced that you would have your shirt by Thanksgiving and we apologize for any miscommunication or lack of communication on our part.   

Here’s the scoop:  The fulfillment house that our shirt vendor contracted to send the shirts out didn’t realize what an undertaking mailing nearly 27,000 shirts would be.

They are working overtime to ensure everything is in the mail by Tuesday, December 6th and delivered to you by Tuesday, December 20th.

 We appreciate your patience and understanding of this unfortunate and rare situation “Shirt Happens” has put us all in.  (more…)
