JoeM7392 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think the better question is, where is this mystical offshore place that can sew the numbers that way but NOBODY else can? Narnia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeM7392 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I was thinking Westeros, but Narnia works too. Just went with the first fake place that popped into my head. Hogwarts maybe? They do have all that wizardry BS going on, you can't expect Josh to be able to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chow_hound Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Maybe he thinks offshore means Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLFAN Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 To be fair, he didn't exactly say that in those words. He simply said "The numbers were made offshore and sewn on by RBK." It's quite likely the kits would have been sent here to North America to complete the job. Good point. ONLY way I can see it making sense is if Reebok had the numbers made at the factory in Indonesia because they couldn't make them at the factory in Quebec and had them sent over and they were seen on at reebok Quebec. Also, what's the difference between that kiss cut and the kiss cut eps would do on say their Crapitals jerseys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Nothing, just that EPS can't get the necessary materials for the ASG numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMLFAN Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I honestly think they can recreate it and they can get the proper materials to do it if they wanted to. It's just a case of they couldn't be bothered to put in the time and effort for the few orders they would get from the people on this board.

TMLFAN Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 To add to that, that's very disappointing from a company that claims all over their website to match exactly what is used on the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 To add to that, that's very disappointing from a company that claims all over their website to match exactly what is used on the ice. The fact that he told people it would be "exactly as what's worn on the ice" and then says they can't match it because it was done "offshore" irritates me so badly. He just lied to get somebody to send stuff in. He knew the whole time he wouldn't be doing it the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they claim on their website is one thing. He directly told me in response to my inquiry that he was doing this particular jersey to on ice specs.

TMLFAN Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 It's frustrating for sure. I really feel for you devil guys since your pretty much forced to send your stuff to them but honestly I'm so irritated by the act they put on that if the Leafs had their stuff done by them I still wouldn't send my stuff there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily once you deal with all of the rhetoric, they do a great job. But I get what you're saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah, I don't like it either. But thankfully that guy isn't the one sewing stuff on, he's just the guy we have to communicate with. Still doesn't make it any less annoying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't make it any less annoying though. And not for nothing, the guy knows me and he has referred to me in the past as a guy who sends in a lot of jerseys. So misrepresenting what he was doing to me, who he knows is a loyal customer, makes even less sense. On this particular jersey, his method may have been wrong but he led me down the right path. The numbers are better sublimated than the way they were done on the game jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Wouldn't it have been so much better if he just said that? Just like "Hey, the on ice stuff is hard to replicate, so we're doing one layer instead. It should hold up better long term and it's easier for us to get it to look right and still be cost effective." EPS, if you're reading that, send me a message. I'd be happy to help Josh out with his customer service skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 That is exactly what he should have said. Or, simply "this is how we are doing them". To say they are doing them to on ice specs and then not doing that is misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 It's not misleading, it's straight up lying to a customer. Calling it misleading is a huge sugar-coat of what it really is. But whatever, we know what we're getting when we deal with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsl135 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've found Josh to be a complete jerk in my dealings with him. I have one final thing that I need to buy from them and then I won't ever use them again. I've had enough of his condescending rude attitude over things that he gets wrong. He tells me one thing, I clarify it and try to go forward with the order, and he changes things again and acts as if I wasn't reading properly. He's a first class d-bag. No question about it.
