    SHOP Supplier Poll

    Click here to give your opinion Shop Supplier Change Form


    TAW SHOP.  Over the last few years, you’ve probably noticed an increase in our promotional advertising for our products and each sale we’ve brought to you has been based on what our current supplier has delegated as our “current promo”, whether it’s been free shipping or a % off purchase/specific product, we at the Shop have always strived to listen to our members and tailor our product listing to what they want.

    One thing that we’ve been constantly asked for, is E-Sport Jersey’s, a product which our current supplier does not carry.  So our Shop Team was sent into the depths of the interwebs, each armed with the knowledge of what TAW Members have been asking for, each determined to find the best quality apparel for our loyal and dedicated members.  Apparel, which would allow us to show off our pride and knowing it’s going to last for years to come.  Our 3 brave explorers came back after weeks of searching and have brought back a potential candidate.


    So by now you’re probably asking yourself what is the difference between what we have and what’s available.  Let’s start with what we have.


    Our current supplier has a wide variety of items, ranging from T-shirts, to hoodies, baseball hats, mugs and more.  Examples will be listed with US Pricing for current supplier, CAD for Potential Supplier (Potential supplier’s pricing is always shown in your local currency when shopping, though it did switch to USD on me for checkout area when getting shipping prices).  To keep things in fairness, we will try the products shown have been chosen using “Customize” option in the Shop to reflect as close as possible to the potential new supplier.  

    *Logos for potential supplier are based on some of their products with current clients of theirs.  TAW does not have any affiliation with these other Gaming Communities


    CURRENT SUPPLIER

    Basic Shipping Costs (Sent via USPS): $4.99 - $9.99

    Premium Shipping (Sent via USPS): $6.99 - $15.99

    Express Shipping (Sent via FedEx): $18.99 - $29.99

    Customs & Duty: Shipping Outside USA are subject to Customs Fees & Duty Charges.

    *Delivery not available for AK, HI, PO Box and APO


    Premium T-Shirt (100% Cotton): $22.99 


    Contrast Hoodie (60% Cotton/40% Polyester): $34.99


    Premium Long Sleeved Shirt (100% Cotton): $23.99



    POTENTIAL SUPPLIER

    Two options for delivery, priority and standard. FedEx / DHL is FASTER than USPS. USPS Orders are sent to our fulfilment center in the USA once per week., The shipping times advertised are once production is complete, not from point of order. We aim to fulfill all orders within 28 days from the order being placed but will contact you if this is not possible for any reason.  

    Using DHL Express, Shipping is listed at $26.99


    T-Shirt (100% Cotton): $34.99 CAD

    Pro Hoodie (100% Moisture Wicking Polyester Shell with Cotton Lining.  Dye sublimated, will not crack, fade, or peel): $82.99 CAD


    Elite E-Sport Jersey (100% Moisture Wicking Polyester.  Dye Sublimated, will not crack, fade, or peel): $68.99 CAD


    Pro Jacket (100% Moisture Wicking Polyester Shell with Cotton Lining.  Dye Sublimated, will not crack, fade, or peel): $96.99


    As you can see, yes, the cost of the products are indeed higher than that of our current supplier, but that is because the potential supplier brings much higher quality of apparel to the table.  Shop would also like to point out that both companies charge a shipping rate.  While our current supplier all depends on the product, how much you spent, and which shipping option you chose.  The potential supplier has a set price, after the item is manufactured, they ship it with priority service.


    The reason we’re bringing this to show you, the members of TAW is because people have been asking for better quality apparel, e-sport jersey’s, and wanting to put their Gamer Tag on their clothing but have no idea how.  With the potential supplier, you get to select your size (generally good to go 1 size up for comfort fit), automatically have a spot to add your Gamer Tag (It goes on the back), and select the country you’re in.  So for example, I could have an E-Sport Jersey with Rekon, The Canadian Flag, and proudly showing off my pride in TAW. 


    This is an investment for our Gaming Community.  And we need to make sure this transition is worth it.  So we need you, the TAW Members, to please fill out our Shop Supplier Change Form.  This will allow us to know if we should move forward with this change.  If we do not, we will remain with our current supplier.


    Thank you in advance to each TAW member who fills this out.  Please share this with your Division and get as many people to fill out as possible.  The more information we are able to acquire, the more informed decision we can make.


    Sincerely,

    Rekon, How much customisation we have with new supplier? It seams that I cannot change the collor of the Elite E-Sport Jersey to blue or yellow instead of this red. Is that right?

    # re: SHOP Supplier Poll @ Thursday, June 4, 2020 7:14 PM

    DrPi: Great question!  With the new supplier, the colors of the apparel will be predetermined.  Our goal is to choose a color set for our apparel that will be asthetically pleasing and worthy of our community.  So for color wise, you're correct, what you see is what you'll get.  The ability to add on GamerTag & Country will be the customization, unless your Division chooses to work with Shop & create Division Wear.

    As long as there is a pink shade other than that faded pink we currently have that resembles too much of a princess pink or pepto bismal, I'm happy. I'd love to see like a muddy girl pink or fuschia. Not sure where Dr.Pi found the link for these new ones so I can check it out myself. I haven't ordered from the current supplier b/c I don't like the colors. Also, haven't made one for myself in the color I want, because the logo is trademarked. (I have a vinyl cutter)

    # re: SHOP Supplier Poll @ Monday, June 8, 2020 9:29 AM

    @AngelReigns: Not sure if you know or not, but you can edit our current line up to create a more custom shirt.  To do so, select the logo you want and then choose any of the products we currents have templated in there.  Then you should find a "Pencil" icon and that will be your option for customization.  You can change the product to any of the products our current supplier has available, change the color of the product, logo, add text to the design.  As for the "new ones", since we do not have a store set up for the new supplier, we just showed in this post some of the work the potential supplier has done with some of their products.  IF we do switch over to the new supplier, Shop will do its best to have something for everyone, though the designs will be a bit more fixed in the way of colors and logos.

    Is there a possibility to have a relationship with both suppliers, or do we have to choose only one exclusive supplier?

    If we worked with both suppliers, those that wanted a simple t-shirt or an affordable hoodie could get what they wanted while those that want a custom esports jersey could get that, too.

    # re: SHOP Supplier Poll @ Tuesday, June 9, 2020 10:22 AM

    @erthehurt: That is something we have not counted out.  But part of the reason we are looking at doing this is to consolidate from having to run multiple stores.  The potential supplier does have a lower cost hoodie available, which the full list of both products & prices are shown on the form linked above(listed in Canadian Dollars because that's what it shows up for me when on the new supplier website)

    # re: SHOP Supplier Poll @ Tuesday, June 9, 2020 10:29 AM

    To save anyone from asking, I'll type in the list of the products available with the new supplier and the cost in Canadian Dollars (you'll have to use a currency converter to find out how much is it in your local area)

    Elite E-Sport Jersey: $68.99

    Pro Hoodie: $96.99

    Pro Jacket: 96.99

    Standard Hoodie: 62.99

    T-Shirt: $34.99

    Crewneck Shirt: $45.99

    Baseball Jersey: $82.99

    TAW Flag: $48.99

    Please continue to fill out the form.  The more responses we have, the better idea we have of which direction to go.  Thank you to everyone who has & does fill out the form.

    Edit for above comment: Where I wrote "New Supplier", it should read "Potential Supplier".  We have not signed any agreements and are still in the process of getting TAW members opinions/input via the form above.

    If you haven't filled out the shop supplier change form listed in the couple paragraphs above these comments, please do so.  We are trying to get a good overall view of what everyone thinks about the potential changes to the SHOP.  Thank you.
