Allen Sportswear for Basketball Uniforms

Recently Filipinos here at VBC formed some sort of an inter company basketball league which will kick off sometime this August.

So our company decided to participate and form a team. So here goes the discussion on where to order the uniform, the design, color, sizes etc. We thought of ordering it locally here in Baghdad but seems nobody plays basketball in Baghdad so obviously there's no place to order for uniforms :). So we resorted to ordering it online. I did send an email to all the store that appears on the first page of google if they can deliver here in Baghdad.

Among those store only Allen Sportswear replied and confirmed that they can deliver to Baghdad. The good thing I like about Allen Sportswear is on how they handle their clients. From the Account Manager (Ryan Brimmer) up to the Customer Support (John Malone). Ryan provided some inputs on how to make the uniform look better and find some ways on how to make the process easier for both of us.

What I thought was once the payment is made the deal is over. I already submitted my design then that's it, we'll just have to wait for the uniforms to arrive. But then John sent me another email just in case if I need to do some last minute changes prior to production . . .and indeed I need to make some changes after reviewing the attached document. One of the uniform size has to be change from Large to 2XLarge.

If the customer support person hadn't sent me that email then I will be in trouble. It's the Boss' uniform who has the wrong size.
