q for anyone thats ordered any of the graphic tees / hoodies. any tips for picking the size. Im six foot, average weight. guess i'm normally M or L over here.
Thinking XL for hoodie, L for t-shirts?

I went for large second time around. Medium was waaaaay too small. Remember that the T-shirts say vintage fit on them which seems to be slightly smaller then normal. I'd be around the same size as yourself and I've a hoodie and a few T's on the way. I should have my hands on them on Monday(they landed today.)
If you haven't already ordered I'll let you know how they fit.

Deffo wouldn't go for XL in the hoodie.

The medium hoodie was just to small for me so I'd agree the large should be fine.

Mikeyt086 · 07-03-2008 9:51pm

Thanks for the code!

Just made my first purchase from them, couple of polos and a few t's, so cheers.

Great spot OP, made my order Thursday and its currently in Kansas en route.:D

Hopefully doesnt incur customs (was $86 plus shipping for a hoodie and 3 t-shirts) so shall be awaiting its delivery!

You'll get hit for customs if your shipping came to that amount:o

razorblunt · 08-03-2008 11:34pm

Cheers OP ordered mine last night, shipping was $30.

Disgusted I lost out on the "Springbreak bag" as well. lol

Deos anyone know if the code will work twice on the same credit card?
i.e. I want to make another order

I'd imagine it would. there's only one way to find out really and that's to try it again. in the confirmation part of your order it should say whether or not the discount has been applied.

Jimbo · 09-03-2008 4:00pm

Yep, it works alright. Just put through a second order.
Hoping customs dosen't have me marked or anything

The one that got hit by customs was for $222 the one that made it through untouched was for $145.

really hope I don't get done by customs. it's only worth €117 including postage so hopefully the fact that the package hasn't gone into foreign customs by now means it won't.

anyone elses package get sent to Ottawa, KS? wonder what that's about or is it just a mistake?

jame5_b · 10-03-2008 12:47pm

The tax man · 10-03-2008 2:56pm

@bren50c Missed the postman this morning,called at 7.45am FFS.Will have to collect parcel tomorrow morning and I'll post then.

dave oc · 10-03-2008 5:14pm

My order just arrived this morning, only ordered last tuesday night so im really impressed how quick shipping was. Only problem is the stuff is a little to big:( so now it has to go back... Anyone have any idea how much it is to return stuff to these guys? Also does it have to be registered post?

LOL wanna buy my stuff thats too small for me.

I tried to work out An Posts system of whats a packet Vs parcel going by the dimensions they give. Got fed trying to work it out. Don't bother, due to the light weight I always got €27.And yes you'll need to use registered post. Most registered post to the US seems to work out at €27.(based on parcel option+weight)

far2gud · 10-03-2008 9:53pm

Stuff arrived today and no tax, great quality gear.

Jimbo · 10-03-2008 9:56pm

I got an email today saying they had a problem with authorising my credit card and for me to ring them. Did anyone else have this problem? I don't really want to ring them

shortys94 · 10-03-2008 10:21pm

Yea I did also, I just sent them cc information again, hopefully that works.

aliqueenb · 10-03-2008 10:55pm

whats cc information?

this happened to my mother, the only way i buy stuff on this now without them asking for like passport and stuff is buy using a 3v card which gets quite expensive with all the little added on costs.

Jimbo · 10-03-2008 11:04pm

cc = Credit Card
I just put in another identical order. Hope they won't send two orders now as there dosen't seem to be any way of cancelling the old one

Makaveli · 10-03-2008 11:54pm

Why don't you just ring them?

It happened to my mate, he accidentally put in the wrong expiry date on his cc. It took him a couple of minutes on the phone to get it sorted and his package was dispatched the following day.

aliqueenb · 10-03-2008 11:56pm

they probably won't send either at all, we ordered so much and my mother got emails saying there were problems authorising the card and they needed proof of identification like her passport. tell me if you get your clothes because i got a 15% discount too and i want to use it, but it would be too late if i had to get a 3v voucher again.

my mother rang loads of time, did no good!:(
its really annoying cos american eagle is so nice and its shipping fee is cheap

Jimmy81 · 11-03-2008 4:44pm

Got my stuff today.

Missed delivery on Monday so I had to go and collect from the post office.

FYI: The amount on the front of the package was the amount the clothes cost before the discount was applied. This may be of interest to anyone wanting to keep the price on the front of teh parcel below a certain amount.
My order was $125.
There were no customs charges

I usually take a medium over here, the US medium fits me fine.

To the OP, thanks very much for posting the Code.

samo · 11-03-2008 5:01pm

Got my order today, having ordered last Thursday, great turnaround. My total was $111 inc shipping and escaped customs.

Very pleased with the clothes, great quality.

Cheers OP....might try and get another order in before the 25th.

shortys94 · 11-03-2008 6:46pm

Called them realier about cc information only to find out they still didn't put the order through, so I sent them a copy of a drivers licence and bank statement.

The tax man · 11-03-2008 8:18pm

@bren50c, Tried my stuff on for fit and the large(vintage fit) in a T-shirt and long sleeve T-shirt is perfect. Not too baggy/not too tight. Also got a hoodie in a large and it's also fine. It's a loose fit so don't go for an XL and the medium on me was too small. Hope that helps you out.:)

Yet another shout out to the OP, thanks very much for the code.;);)

Hi Guys,

I put in an order a few days ago and got an email saying that my cc didnt match with or whatever so they wanted a copy of ID and credit card statement. I sent them a copy of my licence but i dont really wanna send them my credit card statement. What number do you actually ring, i can't seem to find one for international callers!

Thanks

Kulgan · 11-03-2008 8:37pm

Yea Thanks OP for code!

Very happy with clothes, my order was $158 no customs charges!

besty · 12-03-2008 1:01am

Just ordered $100 worth of stuff there, came to just under $130 including shipping. Here's hoping I get away tax free!

Edit; Just got that automated email that the order had been suspended until I call them, ugh, hassle.

aliqueenb · 12-03-2008 1:13am

hey about the op giving a discount code, i thought you could only use one could once like!?

Steak · 12-03-2008 3:12am

got my stuff today. nearly everything is too big though. I thought I'd try large tall since I am tall but it's way too big, large would've been fine. so I gotta send the stuff back.

they recommend that I send it via FedEx or UPS but I was checking out delivery charges online and it seems mad expensive (approx. €80) and wouldn't be worth it. how did others return their items? just with An Post?

does anyone know if I can do an exchange instead of them refunding me the money and then me ordering again? it says on the back of the invoice that you can but it says to 'fill out the shipping address section with the US address you'd like your goods sent to'. so I don't know if I can do an exchange from Ireland. also if I do an exchange I think they pay for the postage of my new items to Ireland whereas if I got a refund and ordered again I would have to pay for postage to Ireland again.

other than the sizes being wrong which is my own fault really I gotta say they offer a great service, very speedy delivery and good quality gear.

fugee · 12-03-2008 9:51am

Ordered hoodie and jeans on Wednesday evening and it arrived yesterday. Brilliant postage time.

I spent 98 dollars and no hassle with customs.

Very happy with sizing. Same as I would buy here.

Will be using it again for sure..

Just recieved my second package this morning having used code twice. Both orders between 100/150 dollars. Avoided customs both times. Thanks again OP

conor052001 · 12-03-2008 12:44pm

got mine yesterday, no customs, order was $161 inc $40 delivery

Gran Hermano · 12-03-2008 3:27pm

Order placed on 3/3 arrived this morning, after sitting in Portlaoise since last Friday.

Order value USD 148 (inc USD 40 ) shipping, got charged EUR 48 customs.
Need to double check the paperwork when I get home as it looks a tad high,
might be a case of customs mixing up their dollars and euros and applying
the charge on EUR 148.

aliqueenb · 12-03-2008 6:04pm

i got an email giving me a discount code but it said i could only use it once...

billstraighten · 12-03-2008 6:50pm

Thanks a lot OP

gear arrived 2 days ago,

100 Dollars value, 40 shipping, No Customs

AdrianC · 12-03-2008 7:34pm

Thanks OP. Got mine today. Just one item $49 (less discount) plus $25 postage. No customs charge

The shipping charge is not displayed on the outside of the package (nor on the customs slip in the plastis pocket) so how do customs know how much to charge you?

Size wise, I went for medium based on their sizing charts, normal go for large or medium here (mostly large) - size is perfect.

shortys94 · 12-03-2008 10:01pm

They finally shipped my order.

razorblunt · 13-03-2008 10:31am

Got mine this morning, ordered, Saturday night, so very pleased with that,$98 for goods $30 for p&p. I'm in between XL and XXL here so judging by there size charts I went for XXL. Got 2 tshirts and shirts, on of the tshirts is a bit tight though, so if any of you are orderig the new in stock tshirt just know that they're a littletighter than the other ones.

Now anyone want to buy a brown xxl tshirt!
