In all seriousness though this is seriously amateurish ****. Yeah we changed brands but it wasn't last minute.

Not having merch available before Christmas is a major failure. Really pisses me off.
Fair enough mate. I’d be pretty jacked as well. It ain’t rocket science.

”Get order, fill order, post order!!!”

I’m hoping it arrives before Christmas for little mates sake!
But I’d be buying a back up “in the hand and in person” gift as well (like everyone has time to buy seconds gifts……. 😔).

Good luck with it all mate.

Thanks mate.

He has plenty of gifts from the fat man from the North Pole, this is from Mum and Dad.

Have you had any correspondence with them at all?

Surely a phone call can get things moving, doesn't Aus Post do two deliveries a day in metro areas close to Xmas?
Yeah I have mate, they're not ready to go yet. I've requested pick up if they're ready in the next week.

It's bullshit to not have stock ready to go before Christmas.

NRL shop has it as sold out


Everywhere else has a pre-order.

Sharks Store says mid-late December.

I'd be putting a rocket up then, asking for the item, or at least some small compensation. After Xmas isn't late December.

If all else fails, I'd be contacting some reputable places to see if they can help you out, Savvy Supporter, League of Legends, Rebel, Jersey Megastore, Jim Kids Sports, even Dynasty. I'm sure they will be more than happy to help you out in return of a sale.

Please, please don't eBay or Amazon or Kogan unless you want a Bali ripoff.

I've been caught in similar predicaments, and I've always found the small guys are the heroes.

I know official stores are tide to embargoes and don't have much wriggle room, but they need to cowboy up and help you or admit when they can't deliver.

Another option is just buy your kid a Manly jersey and teach him life is not fair or kind

Best of luck!

Mate I ordered directly from the club because I want the cash to go to them so no way I'd go through dodgy channels.

It is what it is, my son will be oK, I'm more disappointed from a business perspective. This is the type of stuff that shouldn't be allowed to happen. Surely if you work in marketing/merch this is 101.

I listened to the Sharkcast pod with the merch manager and was pretty unimpressed if I'm completely honest.

You've done the right thing, but it's a bummer it's bitten you on the arse

Yeah saw that, he's a skinny 7 year old. He'd prefer the normal jersey I reckon after a couple of years of a Best & Less jersey.

When I was looking weeks ago it did say they can’t guarantee pre Xmas delivery. Did they change that?

I never thought it would come to this.

As much as I love my Sharks jerseys and merchandise and everything that comes with them...this is taking up too much of my time and money. I am struggling to keep up with the everyday basics of cleaning and cooking and maintaining my home, so something has to give. I will be getting rid of my entire collection.

Below is a list of what's available. Serious inquiries only, and please don't insult me with low ball offers. I know what my stuff is worth.

1. Dustpan and broom (will not break up set)
2. Sponges
3. Duster
4. Mop and bucket (again, sold as a set)
5. Lawn Mower
6. Vacuum
7. Leaf Blower
8. Laundry detergent
9. Hand Tools
10. Yard Tools
11. Pots & pans
12. Crock pot
13. Microwave
14. Stove
15. Refrigerator

Thanks for reading and understanding my sorrow.

Add a wife to that list and I’ll consider it. Yours, someone else’s, I don’t care.
