Accepted a cyber-Monday offer of a $.99 polo w/embroidered logo. Added a second shirt to my order. Total was around $15. Free shipping, they said. This included shipping it to me in Canada. Great! I had to change the colour of the polos later and they seemed fine about that. I thought all was done and was waiting for my order when I got another email telling me that suddenly shipping would be $101. BAIT AND SWITCH

Spam sent on 5-5-10: Coupon Code:RT05# The Queensboro Shirt Company - Call Us Anytime: ***** $6.95 Queensboro Classic Polo <http://www.treadplane.com/clicker############> Greetings H<http://images.queensboro.com/d/dropcap/dropcap_h.gif> ello, my name is Fred Meyers. I'm the President and Founder of the Queensboro Shirt Company based in scenic Wilmington, NC. In 1982, I graduated from college and turned a hobby of selling quality custom-embroidered shirts into a full-time job. It is the only full time job I've ever had and, after all this time, I still enjoy it. A lot of things can happen in twenty-eight years. For instance, five presidents have occupied the Oval Office since Queensboro came into existence. Personal computers, cell phones, DVDs, mp3 players, and many devices have arrived on the scene while typewriters, carbon paper, home movie projectors, and rotary dial phones have mostly vanished. The passage of time has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. This past weekend I was rummaging through an old file cabinet and came across a few Queensboro catalogs from the 1990s. Looking at the colorful pictures and reading my fractured prose made me realize how much things have changed around here since then. These days, for instance, we don't spend vast quantities of money and time creating catalogs with glossy pages. We market directly to our customers with random scribbles like this. The money we save on production costs, printing, and postage allows us to offer you the friendliest everyday prices you're likely to find on quality logo apparel. We've also found a few other ways to share these savings. Some of our larger competitors will charge a logo setup fee of nearly a hundred dollars on your first standard size logo. We'll get your first logo ready for embroidery without charging you an extra dime. At your request, we'll even give you a complimentary logo evaluation to make sure your logo qualifies for fee free setup. When it comes to embroidering your logo on to the products you've purchased, most of the other guys will tack on a fee for each item. At five dollars or more a pop, these fees can add dozens of dollars to the total cost of your order. At Queensboro, embroidery is part of the package. If you want your standard-size logo embroidered once on to each item you order, you'll just pay the list price for the product. Over time, this not only saves an awful lot of wear and tear on your calculator buttons, it also saves you a vast sum of dollars and cents. Speaking of dollars and cents, flipping through those old catalogs reminded me how much lower our prices are today than they were a decade ago. Back then, we were selling 100% Pima cotton polos for $24.95 and up. One of our favorite offers for new customers was 6 polos for $99. Double-needle tailored classic Pima polos with your embroidered logo for $16.50 each was a pretty good deal in those days. Actually, it still is. Due to numerous efficiencies we've put in place in the past decade, we're now able to offer you an even better deal on our Two-Ply 100% Pima Cotton Polos. Order soon and you can experience the super-soft comfort and classic style of 4 double-needle tailored 100% Pima cotton polos with your embroidered logo for just $6.95 each. That is a fantastic deal for a premium polo that bears your custom-embroidered logo. You're going to love this shirt. Two-Ply Pima Jersey Classic Polo Two-Ply Pima Jersey Classic Polo <http://www.treadplane.com/clicker############> (Style 1440, $6.95) When people examine this shirt for the first time, they're immediately impressed with its solid construction, classic good looks, and wonderfully soft fabric. This pleases me, because that's what I was aiming for when I designed it. Each knit has its own unique qualities. I decided to use a jersey knit for this polo. Jersey has a superior drape and a very "flat" stitch. It provides maximum contact between the fiber and your skin, so it feels exceptionally smooth. This "maximum contact" quality makes the choice of fiber essential. We chose the best quality cotton. Nothing less than ringspun, combed, 100% Pima cotton was good enough for this special shirt. Extra-long staple Pima cotton is one of the softest, silkiest, and strongest cottons on the planet. It provides long-lasting comfort, yet is strong enough not only to survive countless runs through modern washers and dryers, but to actually become softer every time you wash it. You'll look for excuses to wash this shirt! Like the choice of knit and fiber, a polo's cut influences how pleasant it is to wear. I realized that no one had ever really designed a polo for the unique demands of the modern office. Polos were originally designed to be sports shirts. We created this one to be a work shirt. After several rounds of testing, we came up with a new way to put together a polo. This cut was engineered to be worn during your longest workdays. It is roomy enough to avoid binding, yet constructed to retain its shape and appearance when you're forced to sit for hours at a time. We made the tail flat, so that you can wear this polo untucked and still retain a neat appearance. In addition, we added twill taped side vents for additional range of motion when you choose to tuck it in. Our professional cut is a Queensboro exclusive. Of course, our Two-Ply Pima Jersey Classic Polo wouldn't be a true Queensboro shirt if we didn't build it to last. When you give folks an Unconditional Ten-Year Guarantee on every item you sell, you can't afford to build a flimsy shirt. This polo is double needle tailored and reinforced in all the right places. It can handle the stress of work or your most exuberant recreational activities. While comfort and durability are important, we know that you have to look good to really feel good. The ribbed knit collar and hemmed sleeves play off the clean lines of this handsome, solid color polo, to create an enduring classic look that is at home in any environment and complements any body style. Comfort, style, and durability combine with the softness and strength of Pima cotton to make this the Ultimate Office Polo. If you place your first order soon, you can experience four of these ultimate polos for just $6.95 each with your embroidered logo. It is my strong personal belief that there is no better Pima jersey polo available at any price.
