A couple weeks ago I ordered yet another T-shirt from Blipshift and for the first time in a long time it is Miata related. I really wanted the Action Hero II shirt that was part of the Carch Madness T-shirt bracket on the site, and in spite of me voting for it a dozen times at least, it finished as a runner up to the four shirts that did get printed. So when the runner-up shirts were offered for sale over the Memorial Day weekend I jumped at the chance to own my favorite.
On Tuesday I received an email telling me that Action Hero II had shipped. When I looked up the tracking number it said it was coming from Columbia, SC. Oooh, cool, I might have it in time to wear to the Thursday’s Monthly Miata Club Meeting. When I checked the tracking on Thursday morning the shirt was in Raleigh, NC. WTF? Today it arrived in Forest Park, GA with a possible delivery tomorrow. I’m sure they have a good deal worked out with their shipping partners, but I can’t see how it is cheaper to send my T-shirt on an 810 mile loop instead of a 56 mile hop.
Note: shirt arrived in Saturday the 8th’s mail.
