Buyer Beware
I ordered a few t-shirts from here on 12/8 and they've still not arrived.
I have sent multiple inquiries about the status of my order, even requesting a tracking number and a phone number but I've been ignored.
These are some cool shirts but I'm doubtful they exist in real life.
My order was placed on 12/8 and my card was charged 12/9. I live in Austin, same place these shirts are shipping from. UPS ground should not take 8 days. But I'd feel better if I could track it and see if it was in Des Moines and check that estimated delivery date and plan my christmas gift giving accordingly.
Instead I'm ignored.
Witness the slow gentle rape...
My order status on GLENNZ website seems to indicate I've put some num-nums in my cart but haven't checked out yet. Or my meep's on backorder:
Item........................Description..........Ordered...Fulfilled
GTS-101-M-BLA...Rock Me Amadeus.....1.........0
GTS-123-L-ASP....Evolution Shirt............1.........0

The confirmation email is corroborated by my card statement:

See that phone number looking thing in my credit card statement? I called it and got "you have reached a number that is no longer in service".
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Great. It's the only item I put on my wishlist.com thing so probably me too.
Chances are it's safer to assume it's just one guy and he's overwhelmed rather than attribute it to malice -- not that there's much value in the distinction until he gets his meep sorted out.

Not sure if any of this research helps, but read
http://store.glennz.com/aboutglennz.html
for info on the actual company that is producing/distributing the shirts. Perhaps contact them, since they are the warm bodies in the states.
This all seems like legit, and as echoed in prev comment, they are probably up to their meep in thread and ink, just hoping to stay above water.

I ordered one of these, and it arrived within a week, no problems.
Maybe they just don't like you?

After posting this, I got two emails and a phone call. A real phone call (not johnlenin). Hi Heather,
Your post on Linkswarm about your bad experience ordering from Glennz was forwarded to us - I apologize that you've had such a bad experience.
Unfortunately, we're backordered on the Extreme Beginnings size L that you ordered - they should be printing in the next few days, but that's what's held up your order.
I'd be happy to cancel your order and credit you for your payment, or cancel Extreme Beginnings from your order and ship ahead the other shirts. However you would like to proceed is fine.
Just so that we can make sure we correct the problems in our systems, can you let me know how you tried to contact us specifically? The 512-789-8905 number you reference is my cell phone, and it's not disconnected, so I'm sorry that you weren't able to get through. Did you happen to fill out a ticket on the Customer Service link? http://store.glennz.com/service.html - If so, I'll follow up with them to find out what happened on the customer service end.
Again, I apologize that you had such a bad experience - let me know how you'd like to proceed and we'll go from there.
Best Regards, Walter Stokes Glennz Tees, Ltd

Unfortunately I've been slammed at work and didn't have time to contact Walter.
But he did the right thing anyway and broke the order up so at least some of it would ship before xmas.
Christmas eve, at 3:30 the doorbell rang and mister ups guy had all three shirts. We left to deliver the gifts at 3:00 .
I made extra trips and delivered them the next day so all's well except my gas tank.

I am getting more and more attention from this place. With all the helpful feedback I'm providing, I asked for a free shirt (at Vas's suggestion) and got it today. I drove to San Marcos in it and changed a tire almost completely by myself in it. Audience reaction was favorable.
