FYI - don't order from CollegeGear.com

I ordered some things for Christmas from them since they had offered me a gift certificate in exchange for advertising on the AO website. I rec'd two of my items, but one item never showed up. They stopped answering any phone calls or emails the week before Christmas. I've never rec'd that last item, so I wonder if they went out of business.

I did some research, and they have been reported to the BBB for non-shipment, so I am not the only one this has happened to. I'm not out any money, but the item was a Christmas gift for my brother, so I'm a little embarrassed about his gift being so late. Just thought I'd pass on the warning.

The Clubhouse has an affiliate set up with them, so if you reaaaaaaaaaaalllly want to order specifically from them, use their direct website at:

http://www.ugaspirit.com and not the collegegear.com one.

But of course, you should order from this link since it supports The AO Page. :-)

I'm having problems with CollegeGear.com not sending me my $200 gift card for putting their Ad on my site. I've tried to contact them on three different occasions without any luck. Regardless, the Football Fanatics store you link to is top-notch. At least I'm not the only one that's having problems with them.

FWIW...

I rec'd a response from CollegeGear.com from my multiple inquiries about the item I ordered Dec 7th but hadn't received yet. They said to write back if I hadn't received it yet, which I did. We'll see what happens now.

Well, last Thursday the 11th, someone wrote back to say they would check on it. There was no response until I emailed today (the 15th) asking for an update. I was refunded the amount for the item that never showed up.
