NLU Pro Shop (Part 2)

My bad, I mixed up the levelwear/performance ones when looking in my closet. thanks!

Good morning,

Just wanted to call out to Nest Members that we raised the free shipping threshold in the Pro Shop from over $75 to over $100 this morning. We’ve held out as long as we could at $75 (over 8 years), but after analyzing increased costs from shipping carriers and our fulfillment partner with @ChickPhilA and @Tron, we needed to raise this threshold.

We hate raising prices, but when we do, we try to be transparent and do so to ensure the NLU Pro Shop operation remains sustainable. Our goal is to keep this $100 free shipping threshold locked in for the long term (ideally we beat the 8 year run at $75). Our fulfillment partner Vox does excellent work getting orders out of the warehouse quickly, and you can expect the same level of service moving forward.

Thanks for your support,
Neil

Understood, and had wondered about this. You guys are a small shop and you’re not selling us merch just because it’s awesome stuff, its a business. Appreciate the transparency! Guess we’ll all just have to add ONE MORE THING to our carts…

Sounds like Vox needs to make a PirateShip account.

In all seriousness though, I’m shocked you guys kept it at 75 this long. Bravo. Prices just go up, part of the game.

Is this a hint of the spring Rhoback drop I see? :eyes:

Was hoping to see the Rhoback dog simply replaced with the wayward drive logo. Seeing sleeve logos isn’t what I was hoping for but I’ll probably buy it so whatever.

If it’s the Crest logo, I’m all for it.

its really quite heart breaking how hard it is for us fat boys to look good on the course, thank god for Rhoback, they seem to be the only ones that dont think a 2xl should be skin tight on anyone with a waste line past 38

I either have to lean into being fat and gain 20 pounds, or get off my fat ass and lose 20 pounds.

to be fair… how many orders aren’t above $100 already, seems almost as easy to hit that threshold as it used to be.

I can’t be the only one that feels like wearing the wayward drive man on my person while golfing is like wearing basketball shorts featuring a guy bricking a dunk.

That particular hoodie was a sample from last year and we decided to go a different direction with the embroidery. The NLU Rectangle was a bit too stiff for that fabric.

You need to bring your dog logoless Rhoback request to Big’s attention. He’s a well known dog-hater so I’m sure he’d be in your corner too.

This is what I was thinking when I first saw the phrase ā€œIncreasing our pricesā€ in the original message, usually someone could wait another paycheck or 2 to get up to the free shipping threshold so it doesn’t really feel like a price increase. I definitely am speaking from a different perspective than what might be the case, so please correct me if I have the wrong idea anyone that’s reading

Got any samples in a L hanging around?

Speaking of, the latest order just arrived, and omg I’ve found my gamer NLU hat… I’d never noticed this one in the pro shop before. She’s a beaut, @ChickPhilA !

Yes. They’re in the Mystery Box marked ā€œLā€ at the NIT opening night dinner. Good luck outbidding the rest of the vultures.

I guess my point was that, for some orders, one polo is going to get you to the $100 mark. If not one polo then a polo and a hat, or a bag of tee’s, maybe a hoodie and a t-shirt. With the prices of the NLU merch, that free shipping is in some cases going to be achieved no matter what.

To be clear, I am in no way complaining about the prices, I think everything is worth it, but I don’t foresee anything changing for most of us.

An idea for the future @ChickPhilA - Maybe I’m the only one but it would be nice to see the inside (underside?) of the hats. Also the back strap of the hat too. As someone who is way to particular about hats, just seeing the front of the hat isn’t enough to make a decision on a purchase, even with the ability to return it.

@ChickPhilA any other hats in the shop made the same style/size as the green corduroy? This thing fits my head better than any hat I own.
