I received the last of my packages today. When I add all the shipping charges by the USPS, it amounts to $70US. I was only charged $50. Everything arrived in a timely manner, and good quality. In the end they didn't screw me :)

Just a side note, anyone who ordered their pants, did you get a Cliff Keen brand pant, or an Officials Choice brand pant?

I have pants from Honigs and from OC, I like the OC much better. The OC fabric is a bit different, more lightweight and breathable. I will say that if you wash your pants yourself, MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT PUT YOUR OC PANTS IN THE DRYER. They will shrink. And let me start now by fending off those who think it was my gut expanding and not the pants shrinking.

No one was going to say anything about just your gut. We were going to "call it both ways". ;)

I too have a pair of Honings pants, and I agree, the ones I got from the OC are much nicer than the Honigs ones.

For diamonds and harwood, if I can't wash it together and dry it together, I will not wear it together.

Like I said I got my order from them in about 5 days. I got two micro-softer shirts. As I've said I've got to wait until next season to try them out or maybe if I get lucky some summer camps. Anyways, overall, no problems with the order, however I still say their shipping isn't the greatest! :)

I don't want to start a new thread on this, but I'm wondering: on TV this year, I've seen a lot of basketball officials with shirts that have a pronounced black area on each side from the armpit to the waist. Is that an OC shirt, or if not, who makes it?

Just wondering as none of the shirts I ever had had that.

This has already been discussed, try searching it.

I have two pairs of the OC pleated pants and they are a bit lighter than my pair of Sansabelts - but they also seem to show wear and tear more quickly. They are nice pants, though....don't regret buying them at all.

Why would you want this shirt unless you're working NCAA? :confused:

If you are working NCAA, I'm sure they would have provided you the vendor to purchase them from!

So, you're satified with paying $70 in shipping!?!? :confused:

You've got a helluva lot more money than I do! :(

Uh, yeah!!!
No house.
No kids in college.
No kids at home.
No health insurance premium.
No property taxes.
No water bill.
No gas bill.
No electric bill.

I only paid $50 shipping, according to the slips of paper from the USPS, the Officials Choice payed $70 shipping.

Remember, shipping global priority mail to Canada isn\'t too cheap.

Edit: Another thing, me and my dad split the shipping bill as half the order was for him. It\'s cheaper to order stuff like this with other officials.

I think the real point is that he lives in Canada, so the USPS is gonna charge an arm and a leg to ship there. I don\'t think he has a lot of options other than to pay $50.

BktBallRef Mon Mar 21, 2005 10:04pm

ref18, they didn\'t pay $70. Don\'t believe that for a second.

PS - What\'s you "zip" code?
