Your Collection document consists of a unique bar code. This will be scanned by our staff at the collection point. This can only ever be redeemed successfully once. Do NOT show your Collection document to other people – it is YOUR unique order.

Collection of T-shirts / Redemption of Collection Document

The Company will despatch your t-shirts to a central collection point in the city where your event is taking place. Our staff will then exchange your Collection document, for the correct number of t-shirts which are due in respect of any given Collection document. This is called Collection document redemption.

The t-shirts will ONLY be available to collect from the designated collection points.

The collection times in ALL cities is displayed to you BEFORE you make your purchase and is also displayed on your Collection document.

When you come to collect your order from the central collection point, you MUST bring with you a copy of your Collection document for the order which you are collecting.
