How much are these?! Am I blind?

How much are these?! Am I blind?

£75, and yes, you are blind.

The shop has been built, just waiting for DNS records to propagate.

The shop will be at http://shop.lfgss.com/

It may work for you later today, but is most likely to work for everyone early tomorrow morning.

You probably only need to panic if you're going for one of the girls sizes, as those are the sizes for which very few are being produced (due to low demand).

works for me already...

Any chance of a photo of the sample? while the drawings are great it would be nice to see what it actually looks like in the flesh before (possibly) ordering.

Did I miss-remember that the actual sizes were going to be posted, ie armpit to armpit...

Ahhh, found it, sorry...

Are you going to put the caps on shop.lfgss.com too? ;)

I've got to find out how few I have left... we're talking 5 or less. But they're at work and once retrieved on Tuesday I shall add them.

A sample was uploaded to the shop, it's on the detail page.

But attached is a sample photo.

Clearly that's pre-stitching, but does show the colours accurately.

I sent you an email about getting some more made - not sure if you received it?

You did, I also need to speak to the guys who made them last time about the quality issues we had and how to solve them. I'd probably abandon the ribbon, the colour was slightly wrong.

Anyhow... on LFGSS cycle jerseys, a VAT thing. LFGSS is not VAT registered as we're very small and our revenue is considerably below the threshold for VAT registration. However, in the web shop I'm using if I declare that 20% is included and pre-paid (to suppliers effectively) then it will attempt to deduct the 20% from overseas orders (which would be fine if we were VAT registered).

So, how it works is thus: Because we're not VAT registered I cannot declare it to you or exempt you from them if you're overseas. Our unit cost is just 20% more expensive, which means the total shown to you already includes all taxes and regardless of where you are, the price is constant.

Unfortunately Shopify doesn't really comprehend small businesses and thinks we're VAT registered... so the receipts you get might make a statement about VAT which will be incorrect. Prices include all taxes at the applicable rates and as I'm not VAT registered I can't remove those taxes when flogging stuff on.

On shipping: If you're overseas you might notice you cannot yet place an order. This is because I'm waiting for a UPS account to be setup so that I can ship via them. I lost too many items (about 15%) when shipping via Royal Mail, so this time around I will only ship internationally using someone who will guarantee not to lose the things. 15% is an unsustainable loss rate, and when I've used UPS I've not lost anything, so that's where I'm heading.

As soon as UPS open the account international orders will be accepted.

Does it mean that we can buy them?
I did pay for one (despite it being green).

You can buy them now, but they'll only be shipped when they arrive, which will be a week or two into May.

Not gonna buy a jersey but that's a lovely webshop, David... :]

Yeah, it took long enough but someone finally made a good shopping experience that is cheap enough for small businesses and looks good. I'm using Shopify and it's pretty nice.

Though it still has rough edges. Such as the shipping... I can define shipping based on order value OR weight, but not both. But we all know if the value is above X that we need to ship it recorded delivery, and if it's below X then first class is fine, and then for either the weight and size matter.

So it still has problems, but it's damn nice overall.

Well got to attest that the buying is easy... not too spoilt for choice;) and the pay-pal payment smooth. Now await the shipping and product before posting a full review of the experience
Nice one #1

just bought one. Excited.

+1, really nice site

It worked which was rather a thrill. Now very excited about the arrival in mid May.

is possible to pick one up and pay cash? or is it online only?
