Because of the $38 shipping and losing the disc, I pretty much paid the retail price on the site....Lol


I get they are a small business trying to figure things out. Perhaps they lost some packages with USPS and want to go a safer route.

I understand all of that.

However, I have never seen a small company switch back and forth on shipping options as much as John Elliot has. That is the problem.

How do we have 8 shipping options a week ago, and conveniently when Black Friday sale rolls around the options are all gone and the shipping option is astronomical.

Intentional or not, it looks sketchy from a customer perception stand point.

People who like the brand, want to support John Elliot. Buying direct on their website will yield the largest margins for them. But if they can't offer competitive shipping rates like other retailers, I am going to have to take my business to a retailer where they only sell at wholesale profits to them.

Lose/lose situation

Idk I love JE and the quality of their stuff. I've never been so comfortable wearing tees and hoodies in those measurements. (I'm 183cm tall and have wider hips)

It's the opposite here in Vancouver actually. The prices here are much higher and I'd definitely buy the more expensive pieces from the main website once there's stock. (I paid $615 CAD after tax for the shadow jacket)

Last offer, let me know if anyone wants it for less than half price.

What are you selling exactly? And how much?

The new Shadow Stadium Jacket size L. s/o $250 10/10 with tag & receipt. I'm a bit too big for it. I'm in Vancouver.

Is a code being emailed for the black friday sale as well like the presale was? Or will it just be listed on the site at midnight?

The code will be listed when the site switches over. It will also be emailed.

The sale section will already be marked down. The Black Friday code will work on the entire site and will stack on markdowns.
