Thanks for doing all this though Ash, I will never order through river city sports ever again.
I'm gonig to guess it has to do with the fact that there is no point to them fullfilling part of the order until they can fullfillit in full. Which is actually the potential downside to pulling the order as a large group versus an idividual.

RCS probably had jerseys on hand that they could turn around quicker, but not enough to fill your full order. They aren't going to just grab every Jersey they have and put it into your larger order and then order what ever else they need to complete it. If they had to order extra to fill your order, then they would have likely ordered everything to fill your order and started to sell off the jersey's they have on hand to other customers as they present themselves. That's just smart business, and something you would have had to request if you wanted them to just start filling in as they got them done. Not sure if they would have done that either, because it would increase the shipping costs for them, stops them from serving any other customers, and I have idea how you guys would determine who's jersey came in first etc..

I've never dealt with RCS, and obviously it does sound like a miss communication or an over promise on delivery was made, but I must admit as an outsider I'm shocked that folks in here are surprised it's taking 4-6 weeks to order in custom Iginla jersey's around playoff time. What did you expect, this is likely the busiest time of year for jersey sales, especially new ones like an Iggy Pens jersey.
