I just want to say how disappointed I am in your company. I completely understand it's a very busy time for you. However my order was not only 20 days past the original estimated complete date. Then I'm given an email at 10:22am on December 22nd that my order is ready for pick and needs to be picked up by 4:30 that same day!!! A 6 hour window to pick up by the shut down is very unprofessional. I now have 3 family member that won't be opening their Christmas gift!

I have never seen such a disorganized place. Two years in a row I have gone there to pick up jerseys and uniforms for our youth football and baseball teams. Both times we were notified that the uniforms were ready and when I arrived it was mass chaos. Both times I was told that the items weren't finished yet and some of the items were in Erie and some in the Meadville location. The uniforms we received a year ago did not fit our football players and when they remade them we were forced to pay them for the extra jerseys. This is a non-profit youth football organization and we were threatened to
