I've given up. Given the tone from whomever answered the phone - I get the sense that they really don't like small commissions. Or anyone who isn't the Red Sox, or a college team. Would anyone here have any thoughts/advice on another customizer who might be able to replicate the 2001-2002 era BC hockey font? Looking just get the Captains 'C' and 'A' in the home and road versions for a display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking just get the Captains 'C' and 'A' in the home and road versions for a display. EPS might be a good bet, but I'm not exactly a barrel full of NCAA knowledge. I wanted Cutting Edge to do my Islanders fisherman jersey. I do have a Bertuzzi hybrid jersey that they did and can be copied if needed, but the limited pics I am able to find kind of suggest the arm numbers changed a bit from one year to another in the wave era. I'll figure it out and probably send it to North Star Jerseys, which also keeps it in Western Canada, which I now consider a requirement due to the current disaster that is cross-border (and even domestic cross-country) shipping.

They like to put the plate as high as possible and crop it tight. Funny, I’ve also noticed that on gamers and other jerseys I’ve had them customize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, they just do it for any jersey, their team or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the Thrill Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Realistically what Josh will tell you is that the way EPS does them is league mandated and any customizer who isn't is breaking league rules. I remember that being the response any time someone would ask EPS to use non-EDGE nameplates on an EDGE jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What that tells me is that they can’t be bothered to customize to the buyer’s specifications. “We’re not Burger King. You can’t have it your way”.

To be honest, if you’re going to measure every aspect of a jersey and won’t be happy unless everything is perfect, just go to the actual customizer. I’m sure there are situations in which that isn’t possible (like someone going out of business), but in all other situations, use the right guy. Don’t use the wrong guy and then be critical that it’s not exactly like someone else’s work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they just have their standard processes and don't deviate away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that unless you want to go through small claims court you're SOL. Sorry for the delayed update, but this is what I ended up doing. Chase refunded me, but I'm not sure how disputes work, maybe they have a chance to dispute my dispute or something. Anyway, thanks for the advice! Also, for the person asking about who the customizer was, it was Keener. Which is disappointing for me, because I've sent them a bunch of jerseys and now I'm going to have to find a new customizer.

jsh139 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 For those of you who have had Keener work done, how has it been since they’ve hired new staff? Still getting accurate and high quality results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van67 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'd be interested to know how Keener has been recently as well. Are they still not liking detailed instructions as well? Also, has anyone had recent communication with North Star Jerseys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not recently - but I ordered a kit back in June for Penguins Stadium Series and I still haven’t received. I was told 1 week back in October, but still nothing. I know a bunch of others are having similar issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJM4 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Just got invoiced from EPS today. Late August early September to now, I believe it's about 15-16 weeks wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 I’m still waiting on an August 18 order, but I did request (and was granted) a player change two months after, which probably put me back to the bottom of the list. They only have 2 of my jerseys right now, which is atypical for me. I haven’t been buying blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJM4 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 All they had was 2 of my jerseys too. You're lucky you got a player change in, they seem pretty stickler on all orders being final when sent in, but I guess you've done enough business with them that they honored it.

I was pretty surprised they said yes. But I have 8n fact wasted a ton of money on jerseys with them over the years, maybe that did get me a little cred.

LetsGoCaps Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Ha, maybe they cleared a log-jam today. I got an invoice today for an order of 4 random minors I sent in mid-late August. (shipped UPS 8/17, I'd have to look up date of receipt, but I'm too lazy) Edited January 7, 2021 by LetsGoCaps Detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're on the topic of crickets, has anyone dealt with Sports Haven recently? I sent in a Red Wings jersey about 4 months ago and have not gotten a response in two emails already. This is my first time using them so I don't know if this is protocol for these guys. I swear I'm only buying gamers from now on to avoid this, I don't care how much it costs.

redwingsdownunder Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 I'd imagine they're pretty pre-occupied with the season jerseys right now. They have a reputation for being very slow. Have you tried calling them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
