Title: Front11 Clothing
Post by: Dewey24 on July 11, 2014, 08:07:13 AM
Has anyone ordered from them? If so how was your experience?

Slow.....poor communication.

Great product. Very slow on getting product

It took two weeks to get a shirt that was already in stock ready to ship.

How about waiting a month......still have not answered the only email sent a week ago asking about an ETA for product that was paid for a month ago. They may have great shirts at good prices but that really doesn't matter if you can't get them.

Took me over a month to get my shirt.

what kind of business do they run? If the item is in stock, why does it take 2 weeks to ship within the US? A company that doesn't answers emails too?

Thanks for this post, going somewhere else.....

Took about a month and very very pour communications. The shirts are dry fit shirts and fairly nice but all the logos and stuff are iron on. Save up and spend the $30 more on a quality jersey that will look better and last longer. Ie Rift, High 5 Gemini

I don't mind the wait.......just can't stand for a company to take your money then never reply to an email. If you can take my money you can answer a question about the product I ordered...not like I have been bugging the crap out of them just sent one asking about an ETA.

No when I got mine I was having them use the Seismic logo. They said they couldn't use the true logo cause it was multi colored had to make it all white. Its iron on vinyl logos not iron on patches.

You want well priced custom dye jerseys thay look good and last check out Rift Appereal on Facebook. They are owned by Seismic and can do full custom dyed pro style jerseys for $65 shipped. Only thing is to use company logos, other then Seismic, premission is needed from that company.

It would be very surprising if a shirt company that was selling small bowling brand shirts had them pre made and ready to ship.  More likely made to order and run as a part time side business. 

Does anybody know if they do the shirts themselves?  They could be subbed out, creating even more delay.

Post by: Channelsurfer on July 11, 2014, 03:15:33 PM
So 4 weeks to do some iron ons is ok?
Title: Re: Front11 Clothing
Post by: Dewey24 on July 11, 2014, 03:48:53 PM
Ok everyone I want to thank you for your responses. I have actually ordered from them an we are at 6 weeks and counting now.  At first communication was very good. I paid for my order an didnt hear anything for a couple of weeks. I sent a message and they got right back to me that some of my order was back ordered. Couple more weeks go by I sent another message, got right back to me that the stuff was on its way from distributor.  I then waited 10 days sent them to messages,no response. This morning I sent them an email, got a response back this afternoon saying it would ship early next week. I just wanted to know if this was usual or a aberration.

Post by: itsallaboutme on July 11, 2014, 03:59:59 PM
I'm not saying it's ok, just how it probably is.  I doubt they sell very many shirts and they probably wait until they have a few orders before they order shirts to save on shipping. 

I don't get the whole shirt thing anyway.  Unless you're on staff and are getting something in return for wearing a logo just go to Macy's and buy a Polo and you won't look like a knob when you go to Chili's after you bowl.

That's funny, my daughter hates going into stores with me after bowling when I'm rocking my Seismic jerseys.

If you wear those dye sub shirts in public your daughter is smart, you aren't "rocking" anything.

Post by: amyers2002 on July 12, 2014, 07:26:12 AM
I don't know I like those jerseys but I don't have the balls to wear one to the lanes more less out in public. I'm screwed in the head enough to think they look cool but I'm not crazy enough to wear one. If I bowled somewhere others were wearing them I probably would but I've never seen anyone wearing them so I haven't ever bought one. Congrats to those of you who do

I wear my Freight Train jersey all the time. It was free!

Post by: Dewey24 on July 12, 2014, 08:47:32 AM
To be honest I don't wear  jerseys . But I have a ton of Brunswick shirts and sweatshirts from DV8 and Radical I wear all the time. Alot of my shirts also are customized for my brother's pro shop and my Dad's bowling center so it is cross advertising, to support the family businesses. 
Title: Re: Front11 Clothing
Post by: itsallaboutme on July 12, 2014, 09:24:33 AM
Pimpin' dad's bowling center is a much different deal than spending $75 for a shirt that if you wear it anywhere but inside a bowling center you look like a fool.

Doom, there is sometimes a reason things are free.  Free isn't always good.
Title: Re: Front11 Clothing
Post by: Impending Doom on July 12, 2014, 09:30:53 AM
Lol I get it. Just don't care that much. Its either I rock my San Antonio wear, or something I bought on ThinkGeek (something to the effect of "There's no place like 127.0.0.1) I either look like a tool in a bowling shirt or a computer nerd.

Selling $3 tee shirts with 3 words screened on them for $25.99 is a good gig if you can get it. 

And yes, I had to Google "I am root".

The only time I wore a bowling polo shirt outside a center was when I went to see the dentist. I grabbed my storm shirt from the back seat cause didn't want to wear my work scrubs with the hospital logo on it.
 
My dentist saw the storm logo and told me that her grandparents owned a bowling center in the east coast. But she never got into bowling even though she grew up in the business...

That is really sad. I grew up in my Dad's first center. All of my closest friends are from junior bowling over 20 years ago. Nothing like growing up in a bowling center.

Post by: itsallaboutme on July 12, 2014, 01:25:02 PM
Sad?  She became a dentist.  Becoming a dentist isn't something you just stumble upon, it's something you plan a long time in advance to become.  I'm sure her grandparents are a lot more proud their granddaughter is a dentist than handing out shoes behind the desk at their bowling center.

Added knob points if your name is on the back when you bowl league or make a video.

And go to the head of the class if you wear said name shirt in public outside of the bowling center.
Title: Re: Front11 Clothing
Post by: kidlost2000 on July 14, 2014, 08:19:33 AM
I couldn't imagine paying some of those prices for a bowling shirt. If it wasnt for front 11 clothing prices I'd only have two kinda plain bowling polos and that is it.

Post by: Dewey24 on July 14, 2014, 08:41:24 AM
A friend and I used to bowl tournaments all the time with the name on the back rule. There was more then one occasion we would stop, and buy a cheap shirt so that we could go out to dinner without our names on the back.

The club I used to belong to used to also require names but the quality of the players was a little above ABT.  You may have heard of it before. 

But that doesn't mean I was ever seen in public with a shirt with my name on the back. 

The only thing worse is seeing a grown man with another man's name on his back.  Jerseys with names on the back should stop being worn at about age 14.

You would love No. California. Half the population wears a 49'er or Raiders jersey with a players name on it. The other half wears a Giants or A's jersey. lol

Raiders, White Sox, it's all the same.  More than likely if they are wearing one of the two they have a neck tattoo.

With a little research, these guys look shady at best. I did a domain search and they have made sure that you can't contact them by phone or address.

Maybe their facebook profile has contact info, but the "Contact Us" link on their website is just email.

I wouldn't do business with anyone who hides from their customers in this manner.

Contest the charges on your card if you haven't done so yet.

Channel is correct I did post a sarcastic comment on the page last night. This morning I received a facebook message from them saying I would receive a tracking number on Monday. This tells me they haven't even shipped it yet.  Does anyone know who owes this company. I have a heard a rumbling , just wondering if anyone knows for sure.
