Has anyone ordered a milestone t-shirt from the UK parkrun shop and if so, what was your experience?
 
Apologies for reviving this thread, but I am curious to see what the expected ETA is from other people who ordered their parkrun milestone t-shirts. I recently hit my 50 parkruns milestone and ordered my 50 parkruns t-shirt on the 29th June 2024. I got an email on the 1st July 2024, saying the order is on the way. There is a tracking number, but I am not sure where to use the tracking number to look at a more detailed status view.

The ParkRun delivery policy says that deliveries to destinations outside the UK should take up to 20 business days. Anyone else recently order their parkrun swag?
 
I ordered my 250th on 9 Feb and I got it on 13 March via post office. There was a customs fee of R214.

Not sure if it's changed but I ordered my 250th in about March, arrived in about a week, no customs duty and couriered to my door.

Oh wow that was quick! So around a week or so. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on hitting the 250 parkruns milestone!

Were you able to track your parcel online?

Thanks for sharing! Was the customs fee something that was calculated before you placed your order, or did you find out once your milestone shirt landed in SA. Very strange - when I ordered my milestone shirt, the parkrun UK shop did say there wasn't any taxes or shipping fees due.

Well done on the 250 parkruns milestone!

I only found out about the customs fee when it arrived. I was not able to track the parcel online. Thanks.

Thanks, yup, double checked. Ordered it on the 12 December 2023, shipped via FedEx with a tracking number to view progress.
 
Thanks a lot everyone!

Quick update: I found out that my 50 ParkRuns milestone shirt is coming from a UK store named sportsshoes. I got a notification email this morning stating my parcel has left the UK, and that it is on its way to Cape Town. Looks like FedEx is using Aramax to ship it (the tracking number I got seemed to be associated to FedEx). No news yet about any tax(es)... hopefully there are no taxes due.

Cannot wait to rock my 50 ParkRuns t-shirt!
