Maroon and Co orders

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Have y’all had any luck getting your orders from Maroon and Co? I ordered last Friday(paid for 1 day shipping) and was wondering if anyone has had their orders shipped. I’m sure they are backed up but I would like to know if they are getting anyone else their orders.

My campus book mart stuff shipped 2 days ago.

 

[Cooterpoot]

Haven't gotten my Bookmart stuff. Not even an email notification of shipping info. All these places are covered up with orders.

I just saw where they made a twitter post a few days ago asking for a rule book on shipping one million online orders.

2 days ago they said that they had thousands, yes thousands of people were waiting on Champs Script Tees and they are expected to be there Friday.

Let's just say they are busy. I think they even locked the front door to the store to work on online orders.

I bought a champs tshirt. That is probably the issue. It was so awesome though and they were the only store I saw that had that particular shirt.

I placed an order for shirts & caps with the lodge, and one with hailstate store - both on Thursday 7/1. The lodge just says "processing" and the hailstate store has one shirt due 7/20, banner and other stuff due first week of August.

MAROON FRIDAY'S WILL BRING A NEW MEANING!

They put up a tweet or something the other day which said they received nearly 1million orders. I assume that means $1MM in orders, because if they received 1million individual orders at $25 - $50 bucks each - they'll be able to retire soon.

If they had 1 million in orders at an average of $35 a shirt that would be 28,000 shirts.

28,000 people stomping their feet proclaiming they "want it now".

 

[Arthur2478]

I placed orders with Campus Bookmart, HailStateStore.com & the NCAA store.
Nothing has arrived yet.

I was able to get a couple shirts, a hat, a pennant and a huggie locally in Flowood at College Corner & Academy Sports.

 

[DesotoInsDawg]

Ordered 2 shirts July 1st from Maroon & Co. They were at my door today

 

[threeosix]

I ordered a couple shirts on Tuesday for in store pickup. Didn't hear a single peep, emailed them yesterday just for a status update, nothing. Called today and they said they had the shirts in stock and they have no idea why no one fulfilled the order. Buzzed over and got them within 20 mins. It looked like a mad house in there, so i'd say give them a ring and just double check on the status if it's been awhile.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Got a shipment email from maroon and co on Tuesday but it says the label hasn’t been made yet.
Haven’t heard anything back but a confirmation from College Corner Store

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

This was posted either here or on FB a couple of days ago. If we broke Fanatics.com I can certainly understand why Maroon & Co is having issues:

I ordered my stuff from Maroon & Co because they were the only site where I could find the Adidas Champs shirt and I love their script Champs shirt. I trust them and I’ll get it when I get it.

 

[HamSammich]

So from Maroon and co I ordered myself a Kings of Omaha T, and my boys a youth T-shirt apiece on July 1st.

Shirts arrived today, however I received three youth t-shirt T’s.

called the store, gave them my order number and what happens and the nice young lady apologized profusely and promised to make it right. Said I should receive my correct shirt soon and will be receiving a return label via email to send the other youth T-shirt back.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Got a notification that the 2 shirts I ordered for the wifey have shipped and will be here July 16. Nothing available in my size. I can wait.

 

[djt159]

I ordered from Maroon & Co, B&N, Bookmart, The Lodge, Fanatics, and Barstool all in drunken euphoria different items. Barstool (today) is the only one that's arrived / even created a shipping label so far.

Just as every other business in America, production is slow as molasses due to staffing issues. Nobody wants to work when the gubmint pays them for doing nothing. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs.

Just as every other business in America, production is slow as molasses due to staffing issues. Nobody wants to work when the gubmint pays them for doing nothing. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs.

Try phrasing it as "business owners can't run a viable business without offering less money than people can get doing nothing." We did just have a horrid recession, the worst since the 1920s, and the gubmint is following what worked post-depression. Back then, they came up with a minimum liveable wage. Now, we're working to readjust that minimum wage back to where it needs to be. Doing this led to some of the "greatest years" in USA technological advancement (highways, space travel, etc.). Seems like a smart plan to duplicate, no?

So we'll have to deal with our lumps. And to be clear, Starkville would be this destroyed recession or not. It's the same theory as saying we need a 100K stadium for baseball. Sure we could fill that out in one scenario every few years. But you don't prep for it. Same theory applies to the amounts of orders that all businesses are seeing in starkville.

 

[WilCoDawg]

Wait…wut? You’re saying a lot of wild stuff.
-you’re saying that incentivizing people to not work will lead to advancements in the US?
-when did the gubmint pay people to not work prior to the pandemic?
-you do realize that small businesses pay what they have to, right? I know businesses willing to pay $20/hour that still can’t find people because they can live of govt checks doing nothing. It has nothing to do with not making enough working right now.

 

[kired]

If we can ignore his first paragraph - not go down that rabbit hole - the second one does make sense. It's not a staffing issue. It's a once in a lifetime / record setting business issue that means most of us have to wait 2 - 4 weeks for our shirts. There were tens of thousands of shirts & other memorabilia ordered on July 1st and 2nd. None of these stores could have been prepared for that. They probably did more business in the last week than they've ever done in any single week, with all of it being stuff they did not have stocked yet. Can't really blame this one on staffing issues. What are they going to do - triple their staff, with people who require no training, for 4 weeks while they fill these orders?

there's no incentive to work already because we've created a poverty pit that is next to impossible to get out of if you're working minimum wage as it's not livable anymore like it's original intent. It's on the government to raise the ante to force businesses to actually incentivize workers.

And if your business model can't afford to pay people livable wages, is it really that good of a business model? You're framing it as the gubmint is incentivizing people not to work. I'm saying take a step back and look at the bigger picture. There's no incentive to take a $7.25 job at a fast food restaurant if you're 30+. You need money to live. That's not meeting it. If business owners won't incentivize people to work, then the government has to force them to. That's why minimum wage doubling is on the table.

And I haven't heard any trouble in Starkville filling $15-$20/hr small business jobs like working in stores. I have heard of more rigorous / dangerous manual labor work having a bit of a shortage. But that's the key. Everything for the average American needs to scale up. (And to stymie the well then everything goes up including prices comment. As you cross the median threshold there needs to be a bit of an inverse. We're paying the C-Suite level roles too much for their actual worth.)

But if you would like to discuss it further as not to hijack this completely feel free to DM me. As Kired said the real issue in this scenario is the unprecedented staffing issue that no one should prepare for. (Or hopefully they do in the future like Omaha staffs for the CWS. Most of the bartenders there were out of towners and I found that fascinating that they don't locally hire. But it makes sense when you think about they only need that level of employment about 2 weeks a year.

What businesses? What are the jobs/location/benefits?

 

[kphall11]

They are waiting until the whole order is fulfilled to ship once instead of shipping a few different times as well.

 

[msudawg1200]

I ordered an 3 T-shirt's from Fanatics(Hail State Store) right after the 3rd out. They shipped Wednesday and should be here Monday or Tuesday.

 

[RocketDawg]

It takes a while to fold and package all those 5XXXXLL shirts.

 

[Big Sheep81]

"Obviously NOT a business owner"....

 

[WilCoDawg]

This is reasonable

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

I placed an order for shirts & caps with the lodge, and one with hailstate store - both on Thursday 7/1. The lodge just says "processing" and the hailstate store has one shirt due 7/20, banner and other stuff due first week of August.

I ordered two hats and a shirt the night we won the title from hailstate store. It said it would ship the 9th with delivery by the 20th. Today I get an email saying shipping had been delayed until the 13th. I guess that backs up my delivery to the 24th.

 

[WilCoDawg]

Take your pick. I’ve spoken with many small business owners who can’t even entice people with higher pay. They’re having to have people do multiple jobs. This is in the Nashville area. It’s all in the service industry.

 

[WilCoDawg]

There's no incentive to take a $7.25 job at a fast food restaurant if you're 30+. You need money to live. That's not meeting it. If business owners won't incentivize people to work, then the government has to force them to.

First, if someone is 30+ and only qualified to work in fast food, that’s a them issue. Secondly, the government is forcing businesses to hire less people when they force them to pay more for menial jobs that are meant for teens. The more businesses have to pay people, the more expensive products become. Not sure how this “big picture” you can’t see but I’m I don’t have the time to explain simple economics to you. Enjoy your dreams of socialist utopia.

Poverty Pit?

Someone mentioned in the latest mask thread, and I'm paraphrasing, "Imagine talking to someone from North Korea about your Tyranny problems in the United States."

Imagine claiming you are impoverished while getting paid to sit at home, one the government provided, on a smart phone the government provided wearing the latest Nike's sewn by a child in an actually impoverished nation.

And I'm not saying you, yourself, are claiming that, djt.

Feel free to dm me but my general gist to this type of point is that it's silly to compare oneself to that of someone so much lower that they aren't in the same zip code. Imagine saying MSU football is doing good compared to MVSU and we should be grateful we aren't them. That's what comparing the US to NK / Africa / etc. will get you.

Minimum wage was introduced to be a minimum liveable wage. It's a myth that it was supposed to be jobs for teens. Everything else I've already semi-addressed and would rather you bring it to PMs instead of starting a socialist / commie flame war. Please do educate me on the economics of the fact that people like Steve Ballmer have $100 billion yet the Clippers are a tax write off every year even as a 2 Billion + asset. How stricter tax enforcement / lower money funneled to the top wouldn't be better (as an inverse to raising the bottom floor.)

But please do it in DM's. I'm not responding anymore on this thread to you.

Went by the Lodge Thursday morning and they had boxes with hundreds of natty shirts sitting just inside the front door.
