Got an email from the club this morning saying that the shirt will be delivered tomorrow - the day of the game + while I'm at work.

I will be going to the game straight from work so once again "well done Leeds Rugby for managing to fekk-up another shirt delivery"!

Could they not deliver it to your work?

It's already been dispatched for delivery according to the email.

The club is having the shirt delivered to the address you gave them. How is that a feck up?

When/where should they have delivered it?

The club shop staff deserve a lot credit for turning over 700 orders for the shirt round very quickly.

The shirts only arrived at Headingley late on Tuesday apparently.

Really - you have a very low expectations if you consider any credit is due - they have received close to £30k of revenue the least they can do is ensure the agreed delivery is achieved.

700? really?
thats a lot of suckers

In what way hasn't agreed delivery been achieved? Who hasn't had their shirt when the club/courier said they would?

I've had emails telling me the delivery day & texts giving me a 1 hour window delivery time by DPD for shirts I ordered the day they went on sale. My shirts are arriving this afternoon.

I've bought for my collection & think that the service & communication from the Leeds club has been absolutely excellent.

The only issue has been the online shop falling over due to the demand on the first afternoon of sale.

That's why we're the best run club in the league. As well as whatever revenue Warner Bros have paid for th advertising those 700 shirts equate to nearly £33k turnover and £26k profit.

And yet some people see this as a negative?

I never said that Leeds had failed to deliver - all I was saying is why do people think Leeds should get a pat on the back for simply meeting agreed delivery schedules. That to me isn't anything out of the ordinary it is what a lot of companies do day in day out.

Gareth given that VAT will be £5,500 unless the shirts have been provided free and the delivery costs to be free it is very unlikely Leeds will make anything like £26k on this deal

[iThe least they can do is ensure the agreed delivery is achieved[/i

That reads that they haven't kept to something they have agreed.

However you look at it, it's win win.

Massive company involved in UK rugby league for the first time. Great publicity & a big profit in quick time for the club.

I didn't consider VAT (don't tel lthe revenue).

Even so, a £20k profit on the shirt sales alone, that was not budgeted for at this stage of the season is very nice thank you.

I bet the directors of Cas, Wakey and a few other clubs would like to see that come in (and I bet they wouldn't send the VAT their cut)

Looked good on TV!!
