Got my tracking number and Chen says it's for USPS which cannot be right. First off: USPS in my area does not ship to physical addresses (All PO) and could have sworn during the checkout process there was no option to choose your shipping. Maybe he meant UPS?

So great. This going to be shipped and then returned and then back again.

You'll have to pick it up at the post office. Or at least I did...

So, after shipping, insurance, and a credit card/paypal fee, the jerseys come to $42. I guess that's not too bad. Too bad they're going to take a week or more to get here. Did my physical address.

Welp, we'll see if this works. Ordered a size 52 white Buffalo Fitz. I like the road uniforms this year.

The best way to do it is order in a group. If you order 20 or more, shipping gets waived and it ends up being $22 a jersey...

Crap. Well - I gave him my physical address because I assumed it was going by FedEx or UPS. But, I'll just track it to it gets shipped to my post office and see if they still have it on that day before sending back.
 
I believe that normally you have to pick up international packages at the post office. Due to customs and all that.

I did the same thing. I gave them my home address. I tracked the package and they said they had delivered it to my house, but when I got home the only thing that was there was the claim slip and then I had to go to the PO to pick it up.
 
So, the Texans emailed me back and said that the jacket Kubiak was wearing that night was a jacket from a previous year and is no longer available. Unless a store has a surplus. Which no one does. And we have checked eBay and can't find it there either. I want to email them back and tell them to buy the man a new jacket and to send me the old one.

That's a little bit surprising. Usually when new stuff arrives, the equipment staff gets rid of everything that was already in the lockers. It's not like that was Kubiak's lucky jacket.

I can only conclude he was so smitten with the legendary three-zipper design that he issued orders to keep the old jacket.

If Kubiak had a lucky jacket it was Orange and Blue and hasn't been worn in over a decade. :D

OK - been about a day and a half since he sent me the tracking info. Still nothing. Maybe a full two days?
 
I've never had to go to the post office to pick up a package sent from China.

It usually takes way more than two days to get a package internationally.

I know. I was speaking for the tracking number I was sent. #Premature.

We've ordered from them twice. The first time it took two weeks, but was when there was a blizzard just about everywhere across the country and based on the tracking, it sat in one US city for 3-4 days. The second time it took eight days.
 
Got tracking info. Still sitting in China. Hopefully it's on a plane to the US by now. Def not getting this in time for Sunday. I figured 10 days was enough time.

I wish there was some sort of brick and mortar NFL shop in major cities and would sell all NFL gear regardless of the city in relation to the team said NFL shop was in.

Keep us posted. We're all routing for ya to get them on time.
 
For anyone on the fence with these:

The worries I had after reading Sam's post, some were diminished while one stands out - the font. The font and size of 'Bills' in the front above the number is too spread out and needs another level of bold. Other than that, it is pretty dead on.

For $42 or whatever it was, it's not bad.

Glad you got it... I would have felt like **** if the deal went badly...

For the record, I was similarly nervous the first time I placed the order as well...
 
I think the jersey will be great for where I live. I ordered a size 52 and I think that was perfect. They might be running small.
 
I wear a 48 long in a jacket and I got a 52 in the jersey (Patrick Willis) that I got... It fits perfectly...
