vindkast Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I'd like to know why VISA and mastercard and such aren't available as an option for overseas shipping. Well if you really want to know... The chances of fraud is much higher on overseas transactions (not to mention that the higher shipping cost makes overseas fraud much more expensive). American Express has much better fraud prevention/protection and a much larger worldwide presence than Visa, Mastercard, etc, so if it's much safer for merchants to accept it for overseas orders. And as ironic as it is that the card named "American" is the one they accept overseas, it's more ironic that it's the most popular card in the world but not in the United States. (Well, depending how you measure it.) ... [/amex contractor] Quote
Prizm4 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I bought a hoodie! Glad I can help support the VG music scene. I live in Australia and purchased via Paypal. I saw that it only had American Express credit card payments for International, but below the credit card option, you can select Paypal. btw, Amex does not have a larger worldwide presence than VISA/Mastercard. When I went back to the States last year, it certainly wasn't as common as Visa/MC (I don't have an Amex card though, I was just observing). Here in Australia it's pretty difficult as well, and if the shop has a surcharge, it's almost always double that of Visa/Mastercard. Prizm Quote
Dave Harris Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Hmhmhm... if they ship to ze UK I'm tempted to pick one up myself... a medium hoodie that is, got enough black clothes already! I guess I could do with another sweater/hoodie anyway, I've only a couple. Any other OCR merchandise planned in future I wonder? Quote
Kholdstare Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I dunno what surprise the djp has for us as for as other merchandise. Coffee mugs maybe? That'd be cool. Right now thoug, I'm content to have my shirt. Quote
Benjamin Briggs Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I just bought a hoodie with my VISA card. Your internet is broken.So buy a hoodie. Cause you know you want to look just like me. I bought a hoodie am I going to get laid now, grandpa Quote
ProjectSpam Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Woooo. I bought a black XL tee, a hoodie will be bought at a later time. Quote
Shadow Wolf Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 w00t! Hoodie goodness++! Mine's on the way. Quote
Señor Quetzalcoatl Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Medium hoodies are gone! Fungah! Foiled again! Quote
Lemonectric Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Bought a hoodie. If XXL doesn't fit me, I have a good excuse to gain weight. Just wondering, why do the hoodie shots look so fake? Quote
Trenthian Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I cant wait till my shirts arrive. djp should totally get the OCR controller/headphone insignia made into a decal so i could put it on stuff. ::starts working on a stencil:: Quote
big giant circles Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 just ordered 7 shirts and a hoodie. that way, i can wear one every day of the week. actually, i just ordered 2. one for me, and one for my brother in law.... the hoodie part was all true. Quote
Kirie Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Awww, medium sweatshirts are gone already? But it's so awesome to see merchandise up! I'll be sure to buy as soon as they get in stock again.~ Quote
Zarggg Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 I do have two questions about the tees: 100% Cotton or Cotton/Poly? Preshrunk or not? Quote
Shadix Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 It's kind of aggravating that you can't figure out exactly what the dimensions of the shirt are. It would be really nice if all ppls could stick to a standard for shirt sizes. I'm placing my bets on Medium, since thats what I've had my best luck with, however every now and then I get mediums that end up being way too small. (Luckily the VGDJ shirts aren't as big of an issue as cafepress has all the dimensions listed) Quote
Zarggg Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 I do have two questions about the tees:100% Cotton or Cotton/Poly? Preshrunk or not? I really hate to be a pain, but does anyone have the answer for this, or could they poke djp to post the info? I've had bad luck with shirts in the past, so knowing this before buying them would make it a lot easier on me. Quote
masticate Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 so, either their site has gone out of business, or their server died. i tried clicking the link... dead. i tried to google, search came up fine, but when i click... dead. anyone have an answer? Quote
Gollgagh Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Don't know what you're talking about, it comes up just fine for me. Depending on where you're looking from, though, it might be that it's blocked. Quote
Bill Lumbergh Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 do the hoodies come in............small? T.T and all out of medium already wow that sucks, i want it NOWWW Quote

Yes I was bothered about that too. What's considered "medium" or "average" in America is likely somewhat larger than it is in Europe too. lolomg. But yeah I'd op for medium in most cases because it's the happy.. err, medium. Being around 164-168lbs I presume a medium would be my deal, though it's a moot point now since they're sold out apparently. That makes me want to go dropkick an orphan. Quote
djpretzel Posted September 25, 2006 Author Posted September 25, 2006 I'll work on getting dimensions + info on preshrunk, etc. added to the item descriptions; not sure if I have that info myself, but the printer should be able to provide it. As for restocking the medium hoodies and ordering some smalls, I need to wait until most of the cost of the initial order is recouped before placing another order, as right now OCR is VERY low on $$$.

richter Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Just bought a shirt and a hoodie! Hope that helps Also, something helpful/annoying: http://www.estarland.com/showban.asp?action=redir&campaign=163 Larry did some research and came up with http://www.fairfaxscreenprinting.com, and that The first link just hangs for me (XP/FF), and the second one has a comma in it. Weee! Would be good to fix those in case people follow the first post's links like I did. Quote
Heyjohnny Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I can't wait for the medium hoodies to be restocked. Could you by chance send an email when you restock? Quote
