I clicked on the MINISwag banner ad and saw that they had some interesting stuff. Bought a t-shirt, nothing huge. They only gave me the option to ship it 2-3 day Priority Mail. This was on the 16th. As of yesterday, the 23rd I still had not received my order. I looked on their website and they have no way to track your order and no phone number but they do give you an email to check on your order. So I send them an email and GUESS WHAT, it comes back to me as an invalid email address. I checked, it was not a misspelling on my part. I am left wondering just who has my credit card info now. Does NAM vet their sponsors to make sure they are not conning us? What's going on here?!

Keep us posted.

I'm guessing one of two things has happened:

1) Your shirt either already in the mail. In which case, an e-mail notifying you of when the shirt shipped could have headed this off.
2) MINISWAG was out of stock in the design you wanted and needed to do another run of shirts. In which case, an e-mail notifying you of the out of stock status (or better yet a website update showing current stock on hand) would have informed you the wait was going to be a little longer.

In either case, a little more information could have been helpful.

I have nothing but good results and praise for the various items I have bought from MINIswag over the last couple of years. I do not think you have anything to worry about except an erroneous email - maybe a side effect of all the virus nonsense running round (pop #16 since I got home!)

I got an email last night from the MINISwag people. They told me my order had been "overloooked" and would ship out today, the 25th, with a refund on my shipping charges.
I'm ok with it now, but I was wondering about their legitimacy before. I like DiD's suggestions. Anyway, it's all good now. Thanks folks.
