yesterday I poped in to visit janzten in the new place. maybe 5 times as big as the last place, lots and lots of suit fabrics and suits hanging around the walls. there were 5 or 6 people sitting around at desks (ricky was off for the mid automn festival), and so I asked them why they weren't working harder to get shirts out to all of those poor people who were waiting for their shirts.

Jantzen was doing great, but they seem to have slipped again. I got my first 3 orders all within 3 weeks. I placed my 4th order about 2 months ago and have yet to get a confirmation or anything, despite sending a couple of emails to Ricky.

I've got to agree with this. My first three orders came within a month. With my latest order, I got a response 5 weeks after I had gotten my first confirmation saying that they were out of the fabric I requested. I even gave them a backup fabric if my first choice was out.

I placed an order in (very) late August, and it got shipped last week. But, I got a response to my email in about a week. Not great, but not as bad as I had feared.

I think that if the material ordered is immediately to hand you get the order in a week or two. If it isn't you can forget it - certainly for a few months.

I still havent heard back from the order I placed in July. Why doesn't he complete his sales in the order they came in? So freaking puzzling/frustrating.

As a follow-up, I emailed him after I posted this and he got back right away, claiming that the package had been bounced back by USPS. Of course, I'm in Canada, so I don't know why that would be, but we'll try again.

I was actually surprised that he charged me the day I ordered. I'd have thought he'd wait until shipment at least, but then I ordered 2 white & 1 blue shirts in "best poplin/broadcloth" so, given the lack of material constraints it's entirely possible he'd made them before he charged me.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I placed an order on September 17th and it arrived today (Oct 8) - about 3 weeks, not bad at all.

I find it's best to email him when I place the order. I usually order 1 shirt on the webstie, then send a follow-up email the same day making sure he got the order and telling him what other fabrics I want. (all the same cut)

Tried to order a shirt last week. Order form was returning an error when submitting. Tried three times then sent order by email. Ricky just replied thanking me for ordering 3 shirts.

And you know what... I kinda expected this would happen.
