50yrs a Saint Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I ordered a jacket and polo shirts (not Saints gear) two weeks ago on the Friday. Stuff all arrived on the Monday afternoon and completely satisfied MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Guess I am going to have to go through paypal to get my money back, not replying to emails and getting no answer on that phone number.

I did manage to speak to a lady a few weeks back, but she was absolutely useless and couldn't give a shit.

blueheaven Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Those of you who are having problems getting the BLK stuff you've paid for - just wondering if any of you have told the club/SLO about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be easier to get a reply from the company than the club More seriously I didn't know if they club would be able to help as it sounds like the company I gave my money to aren't really connected to BLK who the club were dealing with.

Saints do what's right for Saints sasha, we're fans we want the club to survive, if that means getting rid of a few laddies who we deem not good enough you'll just need to live with that, we're not bitter, neither should you be.

Hardly penny pinching. Company come in who are trying to make their way in football in Scotland offering you significantly more than current provider and you go with them simple. You also have to remember joma and ttl are different companies. Joma kit is good. TTL are simply the go between. Could see us going back to Joma but I would see a different copy other than TTL.

Kit suppliers are ten a penny. BLK/Ru Active are just like TTL, go betweens, which is also how Nike do it, Adidas, Puma.... clubs of our size won't get a custom kit on a direct basis, because we are too wee. BLK IMHO are really good kits, the quality of the fabric is decent, and while it's a new style, I am also in favour of printing the detail (so no plastic/ transfers). Hummel have entered the UK market again. They could give it a go. Errea likewise. Loads of companies out there. BLK are just a bit dodgy at the business level. Joma/TTL were/are really straight edged, serious weegies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football Nation, PSL, Direct Soccer are all big Joma suppliers. Not sure but are ST Mirren not dealing with Joma direct? Deffo not TTL that they are through.

The email address is now disabled and the number isn't going anywhere. Got a reply from Bev the SLO who had been in touch with BLK International for me. BLK informed me to request a refund via PayPal as RU-Active haven't fulfilled my order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYellowBox Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 There really is no excuse for not sorting out next years kit in time for school holidays. We know what league we will be in, we know sponsor, ok, we need new kit, but surely club have something agreed, so will we see the incompetence of saints commercial side strike again or will we get a surprise and they will be on the ball? Really liked the blue top, white shorts and white socks combo from this year, so would like the same again for next. Havana Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone new has joined that side of the club so I would guess it will be the same as usual: months of complaints about the strip not being out and then month of complaints that the kit is crap Cagey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did encounter a lot of problems at the start of the season and from what I heard the kitman had a helluva problem getting all the kit for the players sorted, in time for the matches and the training commencing.

outatimecow Posted April 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I see teams big and small are releasing their kits for next season already. Bit of a mess that we don’t know what went on with BLK and who’s in place for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
