Are you international? If not then....

Usps is not an option anymore, they lost to many packages and to many problems

The UPS shipping is only 5 bucks now, well atleast my last order. Stuff only takes a week if that. Not tht long

Idk about fedex but I'm sure they probably looked into it when they made the switch ?

But yeah if you are in the states shipping should not be a problem
no I'm just in nj. I mean I'm sure they've went over the logistics of it. It's just that ups takes a week and usps is typically 2 days. I'm sure the company has thought more into it than me I was just curious. Ups always seems to be the most expensive, slowest shipping.

USPS is good for personnel shipping, awful for businesses. UPS and FedEx offer better rates for business and provide better materials. I'm used to the ground shipping 4-5 business days from east coast stores to Texas.

I'll second this. Have made 3-4 large orders from Eastern US, and the shipping is deathly slow from CA. Fedex or Priority Mail would be much faster.


From east to west is very slow. At least 4 day min via ups. John E co get usps priority! Be here 2-3 days max!

The explanation is literally 3 posts above JFC. If you bothered to look back slightly a few more posts you'll also see that USPS loses a lot more packages. IIRC it's more than double the percentage of other carriers.

Yup, you can even search john Elliott's post and it breaks it all down why they don't use them anymore.

Waiting an extra day or 2 really shouldn't be a problem honestly lol. As long as you get it

USPS, when it works, is great, and their Priority Mail service is fast. For all the good feedback we received with this shipping service, we dealt with a lot of missing packages, and USPS is much harder than UPS or Fedex to file claims with and receive customer service follow through. It is for these reasons we had to switch.

Just got the curve u-neck in olive. It's definitely more green in person than it appears on the web site, where it appears to have a lot of grey in it. It's a nice color, just a little different than it appears online (at least on my monitor).

As far as fit is concerned, the length and width of the body are perfect, and the neck opening is on point. I wouldn't say no to slightly broader shoulders or slightly longer, slimmer sleeves, but overall I'd say it's solid.

The fabric, as expected, is ungodly soft.

that's awesome, I bought mine a few days ago and made a post asking that question. Online it looks like olive green with a little bit of a blueish hue to it. But I'm hoping it's more of like a true olive army green. Good to kno
