they literally sold out so quick on the rare items.. i stayed up till 2 oclock for the deal( 2 hour time difference) and i missed buying the one sweatshirt by a second :(
I was a bit intoxicated when ordering, but pretty happy with most of the purchases especially for the prices. I jumped on right when it opened and got the sizes I needed since I missed out big time last year.

Waited until today to buy. Was eyeing the snowpants, but they pulled them from the sale :( Was also hoping the heritage popover would drop in price, but that never happened. Oh well. Still hyped
Got 2 hoodies for almost half the price and i pulled the trigger on cyber monday. Still happy, but shipping is expected to be much slower than originally determined. High volume.
I ordered on Saturday or Sunday and I haven't receive any info about shipping, but most was just sweatshirts and shirts so it doesn't really matter to me when they come jn
Love the deals, but doesn't it kinda bother you that they sell these originally 100$ hoodies at 20$ and still make a profit? Kinda gets me wondering what their profit margins are on the original prices...

Yeah this is why I only buy Jiberish on Black Friday. I like their stuff but not enough to justify dropping $100+ on a hoodie. I'd much rather spend that on a saga hoodie that IMO feels higher quality

Ordered pin swipes in green, 5xl. Jiberish called me and told me they oversold green in 5x and asked if I would be okay with blue instead, so I said that was fine since I liked the blue better. Got home from work Saturday and opened the box and they sent me black in 5xl.
SammyDubzYea I ordered Monday still no info. Not worried, but a week is a little excessive, even for black friday deals
Emailed in yesterday asking what was going on and they emailed back with-
" I just checked up on your order, and everything is good on your end. The shipyard hoodies and the pusher jackets are still on pre-order, which is why your order has not shipped yet. My apologies for this delay. Due to forces outside of our control, the goods got held up in customs when arriving to the US. They were supposed to be at our warehouse before Thanksgiving, but unfortunately that did not happen. Good news is that the our products are confirmed released and should be here early next week. Our goal is to have every pre-order out in time for Christmas deliver (Dec. 21st cutoff). We will email you tracking info when your order leaves our warehouse."
I'm a little bit mad that they dident get there order earlier(as in order it earlier) but whatever what are ya gonna do.

Thanks for the info. They probably should have put this news out there though, because I'm pretty sure pre order pieces were supposed to ship in November...would have been nice to know and not a total surprise. Oh well.
In an attempt to clear the air about why pre-order shit is taking forever.
It mainly has to do with cotton clothing. Theres this import tax on cotton that customs enforces. Companies used to (and still do) try and sneak cotton in with shipments of other shit at the border so they didnt have to pay this ridiculously high cotton import tax so customs caught on and started stopping clothing companies shipping containers at the border and checking every item in them which, with all the shit coming in, can take weeks or months.
This is all based off speculation but for 1000 cotton hoodies valued at $20 each (manufacturing costs) and 1000 t shirts at $10 (cost to mnfctr) the import duty and tax is asinine (16.5% or so). thus why companies were and still try to sneak that shit in shipments. the cost to import is stupid high so if you can avoid thousands in taxes that's obviously good for your bottom line. which all leads back to why shit gets held at customs because they tear that shit apart to make sure everything is up to code or matches whats on the shipping sheet if it's suspicious in any way. The import tax is just another reason why cotton shit costs more than it used to about 5 years ago (at least with jiberish, along with upping their quality) which they raised about 3ish years ago i believe and just did recently.

I wonder at what price point does it start becoming more economical to just make em domestically. I would and do 100% pay a premium for domestically made products if they're superior to shit made in china.
