Order your dVELO jersey now!

Many of you have asked about ordering a dVELO jersey in time for Bike New York on May 2nd. Unfortunately, the manufacturer said this is one of their busiest times and it is highly unlikely that they will be able to deliver in time for BNY.

However, you can still order your own dVELO jersey for future rides!

We are returning to a better system of handling orders to ensure we meet the 10-shirt minimum order required by the manufacturer. In the past few years, some of you placed orders for individual jerseys and were told that your order would go through when the 10-shirt minimum order had been met. This system of collecting individual orders on a rolling basis did not work because by the time the 10th order was placed, checks written to cover the cost of the first few shirts were beyond their “cash by” date and invalid. dVELO does not keep an inventory of jerseys in stock.

To meet the current demand for jerseys, dVELO will now take orders on a one-time basis. All jersey orders must be placed by Monday, March 22 and accompanied by payment in full (the check or money order must have physically arrived by that date). The group order must exceed 10 jerseys, and will be submitted immediately to the manufacturer. No additional orders will be taken on a rolling basis after that time.

dVELO sincerely apologizes to those of you who placed orders previously and had your orders unfilled due to the unmet minimum requirement. Your orders have been cancelled and your checks shredded.

The price remains $50 for members and $55 for non-members for each jersey. The additional $5 for non-members will be used to pay for your membership in the United States Deaf Cycling Association (USDCA).

Again, the deadline for the order and full payment is Monday, March 22, 2010. Please e-mail dVELO for ordering information. This will ensure dVELO adds your name to the list while awaiting arrival of your payment.
