I got a XX shirt but I need a single X so I have to wait

to see how fast they make the switch, Maybe you can expedite

the effort!!!!! we’ll see. thank you dave moir

 

Note: This is an unfortunate situation. The customer received exactly what he ordered. I hope de was asked to read the size chart when he called. I suspect he did not. The size charts have accurate measurements of each and every shirt print and style. If you do not use the size charts you will purchase the wrong size. Apparel made in China, Indonesia and everywhere else do not have the same comfortable sizing as Made in Hawaii Aloha Wear.

This customer did not process his own order. He called and placed a telephone order. There is nothing wrong with this, but telephone order folks usually do not take the time to read the information that is offered on many, many pages of the web site. The sales person is instructed to ask each caller to read the size chart for the apparel they are purchasing. The order was received by the customer on 10/26. Why are so many people so quick on the draw to criticize? As of this day, 10/30, no request for exchange has been received. All email requests for exchanges are responded to quickly.

The whole point of this little note is that if you do not read and use the size chart information found on all pages, you will have issues. You can not miss the notice on the front page that request that you read this sort of information before you place your order. No other web site offers this information on the top of all pages (MauiShirts.com is 3,500 pages deep). It can not be made any easier.

If the customer places a hand written note in his return box, it will delay his exchange; phone calls, emails, etc. The box could sit here on our return desk for 5 to 7 days before it is opened. When will I receive my refund you might ask?  We can not accept email instructions for exchanges. A new order MUST be created. Hand written notes for exchanges included in your return shipment box can not be accepted.

If the customer sends his shirt back to Maui without authorization it will require time, days and possibly weeks to receive a refund or exchange. The paperwork of the order will need to be de-archived, email address will need to be researched on all web sites; Amazon.com, EBay and MauiShirts.com to see what is going on or if an exchange order was already placed. The link to returns, exchange & refunds is on the top area of all 3,500 pages of the web site:   MauiShirts.com Returns/Exchanges/Refunds We offer hand made items made in Hawaii. Every single item is made and/or stocked in very limited quantities. Nothing can be set aside in lieu of a promise for an exchange. We can not, and will not, charge your credit card for an exchange unless you place a new order on-line for your exchange. You must select and pay for a new shipping option. You must apply the size chart information. You must see if what you want is in stock. It is impossible to stock every print, in every style, in every color, in every size all of the time. There are hundreds of prints. The Honolulu factory can not do it. MauiShirts.com can not do it. We request in many places on the web site to select alternate, second choices of color or print.

If you follow the simple request to send an email for your exchange, in most cases, you will receive a $ 10.00 courtesy coupon for our efforts.

I chose priority mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service, which cost half of the Fed Ex charge recommended by the company. Estimated delivery time was 7-9 business days and my package arrived from Maui in just two days. I was delighted!

I was amazed they could deliver the shirt on the date I needed it. 

The shipping is costly, but I don’t believe that is in the control of this merchant!  T.J. / League City, TX

Note:  Shipping includes many things other merchants can not and do not do. The cost of shipping is more a cost for handling and packaging than actual shipping costs. All apparel is folded and wrapped in nice white tissue paper then inserted into a protective plastic bag and shipped in a re-sealed sturdy box. Your order is confirmed by an instant email with a link back to your order on the Yahoo Shopping Network. An automatic email is sent to you when the order ships with the tracking number. Our Federal Express charges: $19.80 is about half the cost of the charges you would ordinarily pay from any city on the Mainland.

Press Release – Magnum P.I. Jungle Bird Shirt

October 21st, 2009

Jungle Bird Aloha Shirt remains a Halloween Favorite

This October will mark the sale of 236,360 red Jungle Bird aloha shirts. The shirt has been

an annual Halloween favorite since the 1980 television series Magnum P.I. staring

Tom Selleck became world famous. Hundreds of shirts are sold each October for Halloween

costumes. Put on the red Jungle Bird aloha Shirt, a Detroit Tiger’s baseball cap, affix a

mustache and you are transformed into Magnum P.I. The shirt is made by Honolulu aloha

wear brand “Paradise Found”. The Jungle Bird shirt has been the uniform for the waiters,

waitresses and bartenders at the Kaanapali Shores restaurant in Honokowai, West Maui for

many years. Thousands of shirts are shipped each year to worldwide buyers by the Lahaina,

Maui internet company MauiShirts.com.

Here are some interesting facts. It requires 590,900 yards of cotton Jungle Bird fabric to
create 236,360 shirts. The numbers come from the total amount of yardage purchased by

Paradise Found since 1981. Each shirt uses 2 ½ yards of fabric. This is equivalent to 335.74

miles of fabric or the length of 5,909 football fields. Each shirt’s pocket is sewn to seamlessly

match the shirt background. The original Jungle Bird shirt worn by Tom Selleck was presented

to the Smithsonian Museum for their American Entertainment collection in June, 1988. ###

Superb shirts, really good quality! The most amazing thing was the speed – two days from ordering to delivery in the UK. I would hardly have thought it possible but they’re really on top of their game. Good communication from the seller and a good website too. Very nice people to deal with.
