Raven's Gear

**Irishraven** · 09-07-2006, 08:33 AM

Hey guys,

Just wondering what website if any do you use to buy Raven's gear online?

I had been ordering it and sending to pals of mine in Maryland, and then they would send on to me. I would like to take out the poor unfortunate middle man and just order direct...

any thoughts?

E-Bay is my choice - provided you get through the crap ones.

I have a US ebay membership - lets me see more items for sale, all you have to do is ask nicely if they would consider shipping to the UK ( Eire in your case ) thay often will say yes - particularly is they are Ravens fans! This lets you buy better items.

Once bought - go for cheap shipping!

I agree - E-bay is the way to go. Bear in mind about 90% of 'authentic' jerseys are not, but most of them are so good it's tough to tell the difference. This year I got an authentic Ed Reed (not authentic, but nice) and an authentic McNair (is authentic). They were around $50 each, with shipping.

I use these wonderful local people. I have always had great service from them: http://www.baltimoresportsstore.com/...03031814445918

I bought £160's worth of gear through Nasn.shop.

I ended up dealing with the guy in the states.I have lost his email.
But he did a great job getting all that he could.And he would either phone me
up from the States or email me regularly with updates with the order.

It took awhile in coming,but it was well worth it.

Haven't bought any Ravens gear for a long old while now having spent far too much in my first year at Uni, ebay is certainly the place to get it from though if you're overseas.

Thanks for feedback guys...I still wear the cap that Mista T brought me when he came to Dublin last January! Its a classic....

That has happened to me.I have asked someone in a Ram's jersey how's the greatest show on turf doing?And they look at me as if I fell off the moon.
I now let people wearing NFL gear make the first vocal comment.

Before we got married,my wife actually got my attention by wearing an Emmitt Smith shirt.I thought wow a woman into American football.I was taken
hook line and sinker.The greatest mistake I ever made.

This is the link from PF24X7 Gear page. I have not tried them yet, but they have a great selection for all sports.

It links to football fanatics which is a good site but unless you're getting in a lot merchandise, the shipping and handling will often match the price of the items you're purchasing.

I just let my sister know what I want and she gets it and ships it to me. I then pay her by paypal in $$$$ and it's easy.

Is it the same for you guys in the UK? Do you have to pay VAT on shipping costs aswell as the cost of the goods?

A while back or ordered some clothing from Abercrombie and they charged me 21% tax when it arrived into the country, but like I said, they charged me 21% on the delivery costs aswell...I ended up paying a god damn fortune!!!

**RavenTD** · 09-10-2006, 08:23 AM

Nasn,I was just charged the price of goods and postage.No hidden prices.
The guy put it down as goods for a friend.So I didn't have to pay posty anything at the frontdoor when it arrived.

**Maryland Ben** · 09-10-2006, 11:25 AM

It's the same with my sister, no tax just the normal cost of postage

I've only been hit by import tax once and that was on a Maryland Terrapins jersey by Colliseum Athletics, if you get them to tick it is a gift then 99 times out of 100 you won't get hit by an import duty.
