Title: Purchasing Officiating "stuff"
Post by: SCHSref on September 15, 2016, 10:13:00 PM: 2 Questions:

1. In your opinion, what is the best website, if you use one, to order supplies from?
2. What is the turnaround from the day you order?

Thanks

Post by: mostripes on September 16, 2016, 09:01:25 AM: I've ordered from a number of places over the years with varying success...

Getofficial.com - out of KC, MO. I've ordered before in the morning and had stuff the next day without paying for expedited shipping.

Ump-attire.com - have had good luck with getting stuff from them relatively quickly.

Honig's - Good success

theofficialschoice.com - NEVER EVER ORDER FROM THERE AGAIN.. they usually have great prices on whistles, but it then takes forever and a day to actually have it delivered.

Post by: VALJ on September 16, 2016, 02:56:43 PM: Honig's has been fantastic. I had an order I placed a couple of years back on a Wednesday for something that I absolutely needed that Friday night in Richmond, and requested the next day air. It shipped out of Raleigh; they only charged me for ground service, and I had it on Thursday.

I've also had good luck with Terry's Official Call at www.theofficialcall.com, but with them being out of WV, I've yet to get something next day without paying extra for it.

Post by: bulldogs1msu on September 17, 2016, 09:16:28 PM: I ordered from 1 Stop in Birmingham Alabama on a Friday afternoon. It arrived at my house on Monday. Awesome customer service. I live in Mississippi, so it might take a little longer if you live in another state.

and/or Honig's. Have had great success with both. Prices and service comparable.

Ditto. Honig's quality seems to be going downhill.

agree about Honigs, at least their FL store....pick up my things personally and will not do unless absolutely necessary....Gerry Davis is another supplier...stock a lot of Cliff Keen.
