I get all my supplies except shoes from them. I always get what I need in the summer before they're needed because they are a little slow in shipping. Maybe they know that I'm in no hurry then or they have to order the stuff before shipping it out. They are great doing business with other than that. BTW, during the summer they had great sales going on.

I have ordered from them in the past. Everything was great, order came in about 2-3 days extremely fast. I love there shoes, OC's still wearing them in fact. But I ran into the same trouble as most of you, trying to contact them. I tried to order some more shoes, they werent on the web-site. Couldnt get a hold of them for nothing. But its still a nice company with fast service.

Funny you mention their OC shoes, I purchased 3 pair when they were having a sell out sale. 2 of the 3 and I haven't worn the third yet, ripped in the back by the heel. It hasn't happened with any other shoe I have worn. So I am wondering if that is a problem with those shoes.

I placed 2 orders from them this Summer and had to call them regarding 1 order. I didn't have any problems and the orders arrived quickly and the product is exactly what I anticipated. (BTW, I do not work for them and they are not paying me for this advertisement)

Does anyone know if the OC usually gives you a tracking number? I didn't get one and I'm wondering where my stuff is!

Funny you ask that. I am still waiting on an order for 15 or so shirts I placed in August that has apparently disappeared in the mail. I've requested a re-shipping of the order, but haven't heard anything back on that request in 3 weeks. From my experience with them (only this order, admittedly), this is typical with their level and ease of contact and their level of service recovery. And no tracking number, but an insurance number for the package was eventually given after multiple requests. They shipped "priority mail insured." I used a purchase order, so I'm not out of pocket, but neverthelsess, I do not feel like a well taken care of customer, by any means.

I've never ordered from OC but many people who have posted have been pleased with their products (except for shoes that fell apart) but have been very dissastisfied with their customer service or lack thereof. I use Between the Lines and GetOfficial. I had a jacket button break and BTL had a new one to me in a week, compete with IHSA logo. GO sent me a Byron collar shirt by mistake once and game me a free Fox 40 and some volleyball wheels. Can't complain about either of them.

Well I suppose you are somewhat correct. I kind of broke down and brought from them. I had one major problem with them and that was their shipping cost. I think we all remember the huge thread and the e-mails we sent to the OC regarding their costs. But, time came for me to buy a side panel shirt. Honig's was out until later this month/mid December. Plus, I needed some whistles. So the OC had the cheapest 3-pack of Fox40s and they had the side panel shirt. In addition, they lowered their shipping costs (I only paid $6 for shipping).

So yeah, I guess you could say I broke down and brought from them. I'll give a report whenever I get my order.
