Where do you get your American sports gear?

Hey all

I've purchased some things from an Ebay store, which ended up being a full-blown shop outside of Ebay. Haven't received my items yet but I'm looking forward to it.

Being in Australia, it's always a task finding good and reputable suppliers, that don't charge the earth (let alone postage!).

I'm looking to buy some more gear, but wondered what others had done? All you NFL/NHL/NBA fans - where do you get your gear?

The place I've purchased things from is http://footballfanatics.com/

They claim to have $20 postage to Australia, regardless on the number of items.

Cheers.

A lot of the boys at our club use Eastbay. They swear by it.

I have bought footy boots from Eastbay in the past and can't fault them. Saved $100 on boots that were retailing here for $220 and that was after postage, when the Aussie Dollar was below parity.

Cool - I'm waiting on a FF order so it's handy to know it's very good.

I bought 5 pieces of USC gear from Football fanatics 6 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived, and they say the company they use does not provide tracking numbers, they got tonnes of great stuff I love especially the College gear, but cmon it shouldn't take this long, an apologie once is alright after 3 weeks, but after 6 to say its on its way and we apologize is crap IMO

Anyone looking for NBA stuff that has Facebook try adding jersey sure. You basically tell them what your after they will try and source it and give you a price. They can do the revolution 30 jerseys that retail for $279 in the states for $70 I'm about to place some orders. They have warm up tops shorts shoes the whole works

If you are using Eastbay search for coupons to save some money.
Should be able to get at least 15% discount.

Apparently the Eastbay stuff has arrived at home today- less than 2 weeks after lodging the order (about 9 days IIRC).

Mrs G reckons its top notch, I have to wait til Sunday to check it out (birthday :) )

When I was looking at getting some Miami Dolphins shirts the postage costs made getting anything off their official store way too expensive.
