Capelli

[Anonymous]

We moved clubs, this was when we got our offer and link.

Capelli has been taking longer to deliver from Bangladesh. Also, they are trying to get more kids back into school, this slowing down manufacturing times. And then the later summer labor strikes kick in.

Its better to early in June with Capelli, orders placed in Late July/ August are significantly delayed.

-Buy a matching color T-Shirt and put a number on it with a marker.

We were shocked DS’s uniform arrived quickly as we’ve never heard anything good. Ordered in late June and here by Aug 1. I guess he was lucky that his jersey and size were in stock. He’s an adult large and a GK so maybe there’s less demand for some sizes or pieces.

Last season we ordered through capelli and the full order (over 1k of items) took almost 4 months to arrive. Many pieces arriving AFTER the regular season had ended. It was beyond frustrating. Our league (SYC) broke the contract and no longer works with them as this was the case with many other families as well.

Hard to say, but garment factories in Bangladesh are one of the world's worst offenders:

Kick backs are in the form of coaching gear and equipment so it's not like the directors are making more money from capelli directly.

Wrong

Just wait until you start washing the gear! Numbers peeling off less than a year in. Capelli products are the worst!

Dont DARE try to dry any of it. Just hang it and hope

The Director’s do not get a kickback
The Clubs do though
Depending on the club it’s between $20k to $110k per Club on the order year cycle
Much less on the non order year cycle but still significant enough that they punish the family’s by making the deal
In addition, it is “usually” not a two year cycle
Clubs sign deals for longer than that

First time using Capelli for a club my dd joined. Order first week of July. Received an email stating it would ship out in 5 weeks. I emailed them at the end of the 5th week. Got an auto response stating I would receive a reply withing 2-3 business days. Not reply after a week so I started emailing every day and the club as well. I finally got an email at the beginning of this week stating gear was sent to UPS facility and they should receive it bybthe end if this week. If there are so many issues, why work with them? My first time with them and it has not been a good one.

Capelli equals more club money grab.

You are all a little nuts. The clubs dont earn cash back on their member orders, they get $ from the company for their coaches to have gear (plus cones, pennies, and other gear our kids need for training).

Capelli has had a lot of challenges recently (the coup in Bangladesh last year didn't help). And if your club is on a 2-year cycle, and this is year 2, nothing the club, or you, can do but wait it out and hope they dump the bad vendor the next year.
