Amici Veloci – REORDER TIME

[Adventure Girl]

Amici Veloci is supposed to mean Fast Friends in Italian, according to Babelfish. Maybe all this time we've been wearing jerseys that really say something like "When pigs fly".

Matching socks?

[miffy'sFuji]

Babelfish is correct. I knew Amici before, and asked my friend (who is fluent in Italian) about the word "Veloci." She asked in what context, and I told her, and she replied, "Fast friends, that's cute!"

*subliminal message*......buy arm warmers and long sleeve jerseys..... buy arm warmers and long sleeve jerseys.....

thanks - we will now return you to your regularly scheduled programme

[Geonz]

(I will - at least arm warmers and short sleeve! - when I get back from GITAP and there's a new paycheck in the bank... *maybe* a bigger one...)

[Brandy]

I want that helmet too! Too bad that I have a huge noggin.

Never fear, fishie. My credit card and I may yet agree to disagree on whether or not I can afford armwarmers, as long as someone tells me how I know what size to get (the Voler site wasn't helpful) and as long as the postage over the pond isn't going to be exorbitant...

Great photo of y'all in your AV kit, by the way.

I'll be getting arm warmers for a friend, a second jersey for me, and I just got the check from the Danville parking lot guy (the story SK never told!), so that's another shortsleeve jersey...

Cool, I was wondering if he'd follow through. Since you were a partner in crime and have a major role, feel free to tell the story.

bwaaahaaahaahaaahaaaa - what subliminal message? I didn't see anything...


What's that sound????? Is it the sound of arm warmers and long sleeve jerseys calling your name????

[Brandy]

What do you think the chances of these arriving in my hands by August 18th are? I really want to wear it in my first century!

BTW...I'm going to put in my order as soon as I get Tiffanie's sizing. I'm buying her an AV jersey for her birthday present.

OK Brandy, since this is the second time you asked, I'll take a crack at it.

This is what SadieKate posted in post #1 of this thread:

After much procrastination, I’ve finally got the new order process ready and Snap has graciously agreed to collect the orders with payment via PayPal. If we can get the orders collected by June 14, the orders will be shipped the week of August 7th. They’ll go off to the equally gracious yellow (to avoid CA taxes) who will ship the individual jerseys.

You know, there are some things that are simply out of snapdragen and sadiekate's hands.

Voler has given them an estimated shipment date, but the actual honest to goodness date that the order is shipped out from Voler is completely out of snapdragen and sadiekate's control.

It could be shipped out the beginning of the week of August 7th, or it could be shipped out the end of the week of August 7th (which would be August 11th). Or, it could be shipped out later. Stuff happens.

Furthermore, the order has to make it's way to yellow in Salt Lake City. So if the shipment departs from Voler near the end of the week of August 7th (that is, closer to August 11th), it might arrive at Casa Yellow well into the following week, if not later.

Plus, once the shipment arrives at Casa Yellow, yellow must find the time to re-package and to ship out every single order to each and every person who has placed an order. That adds another variable to the equation.

Bottom line, I think the chances of you receiving your jersey by August 18th are slim.

I hope this answers your question.
